SOMETHING ABOUT ELECTRICITY

Dear Social Cornerites: After read ing an instructive article on electricity my first thoughts were, that. that would make an interesting letter for our Social Corner. All fear is that IL may be too lengthy.
 We all know that when we under stand the principle of what we are working on, that we obtain better re- suits. A cook feels sure when she un- derstand the chemistry of foods that she trusted to luck or guess work
 The same with our fuel if we know just when to close our dampers we get
 better results. and more heat than the persons who leaves the drafts open, and whose stove Is red hot. and then wonder why the oven is cold
 Just so with our electricity, we should know that the electric current is like a stream of water The size of the stream may vary as do water pipes and the word used to designate the size of an electric stream is ampere- Thus an electric iron requires a large
 stream. five amperes; a vacuum clean
 CT. a smaller stream. one aEmpere; while | a large range may require fifteen or | twenty amperes-
 Another common term is the volt" | and this word means the pressure of I the stream of electricity With the
 water supply we speak of the pressure
 at the faucets as 25 to SO pounds, etc.
 While with electricity We speak of the pressures as 110 or 120 volts, etc. | The watt" Is the actual amount of | electricity used. It is measured by | gallons or cubic feet in the case of | water. Thus we would say the faucet
 runs 50 gallons an hour, while with electricity we would say the irons con- l sune 500 watts an hour Because the l watt" 1 sso small quantity. all cleo tric lighting companies use l. 900 watts. or the kilowatt, as their basis of meas
 urement, and the cost of electricity Is so many cents for a kilowatt.
 | Once these terms are understood it
 will be a simple matter to determine the exact cost of your electrical ap- ! pliances- JANETTE-

 Apricot Ice Cream: Use same as peaches.
 Coffee Ice Cream Put one quarter of a pound of coffee into the milk and cream and bring to a boil; let it stand until cold; strain, then add the sugar and freeze.
 Chocolate Ice Cream: Crate one ounce of chocolate and boil for ten minutes with the milk and sugar When cold add the cream and one half teaspoon of vanilla and freeze Pistaehio Ice Cream: BIanch. choI and pound to a paste one cup of pis- tachio nuts and one-quarter of a cur of almonds and add to the cream.
 Ready: Your card received. Thanks PAULA

DREAM S.

Tonight the fingers of the rain Beat softly on the windowpane And loi my heart is back again
 Within the golden years; Again I hear the thrushes' call, I see the roses on the wall, The sunlight sparkleS over all
 Seen through a mist of tears. And in a gardens summer glow Two little figures come and go, The one with brow and throat or
 snow,,
 Her eyes were heavens own blue; Her cheeks were like the roses there, As threads of gold her flowing hair. She was indeed a flower most fair
 Like those of sun and dew. An me. Within the churchyard's
 shade
 That lovely fairy form is laid. The merry child with whom I played,
 Amid the birds and flowers: And listening to the autumn rain, With it's deep undertone of pain. My thoughts go back to her again,
 And all the golden hours. The years, though sad. are quickly
 flown
 Her name now carven on a stone, With moss and ivy overgrown,
 Still sacred is to me; And oh. tonight my breast would fain Forget the burden of it's pain Go back to her and youth again.
 When life was glad and free.

JOSEPH DOES DAHLIA SEEDS.

Mir. Editor: It has afforded me pleas ure to respond to a dozen requests for mixed dahlia seeds and the packets are far from being exhausted.
 These seeds contain mixed peOny seeds and seeds of the English Star and round dahlias. They ought to pro- duce a fine display of single and dou- ble flowers.
 When the seedlings sprout take good care of those which seem to be least vigorous, as they are likely to pro duce the best flowers.
 I have had flowers bloom from seeds in eight or ten weeks. They make flowers if well located as quickly as the roots: but it takes three years to establish the real character of dahlia. After that the roots will remain true to type.
 The seeds may be sown in pots or in boxes under glass, may be trans planted when an inch or two high and set in rows in a sunny position, 1 1-2 feet apart in the row with the rows three feet apart. As they grow the lateral near the ground should be cut off close to the stalk so that the hoe may be used beneath them.
 The drainage should be towards them That is they should grow in a trough in which water should be pour ed once or twice a, week.
 When the seedlings reach the bud ding stage if they show signs of weak ness give them water with a table spoon of nitrate of soda to the gallon, twice a week.

AUNT MARY WAS WELCOMED,

Dear Social Cornerites:-April 12th was a red letter day for Club No. l at the w. c. T. U. rooms at Willimanttc. The members of the club sent a cordial invitation to as many of the Social Corner Sisters as could attend to be sure and be there. thought Aunt Mary might as we'll be one to enjoy the good time as any one.
 I was unfortunately late in arriving. as they were just at dinner when en- tered; but Married and Happy gave me so cordial a welcome. and TIdv the whole company that I felt at home at once and ready for the business on hand after the long ride.
 Was very sorry to hear that Biddv was sick. Practical Polly read a letter from her, or dictated by her that help ed to cheer us.
 Was surprised to know that Blue bird was an acquaintance nearby home. I enjoyed my outing very much There was scoh good feeling mani fest that no one could help botng hap py.

Dear Editor and Sisters:-It is inn possible for me to stay away from The Corner for any great length of time, so will just chat awhile.
 Bright Ray: Glad to see you back again in The Corner Why were you not at the meeting April 12ti?
 Theoda: You know Bright Ray. do you not? That is the sister whose name I was trying to recall and could not think of. Do you remember?
 Hannah Who: You will never know what you missed by not accepting the many invitations you received to the April meeting. Better lay aside your prejudice and meet with us in May.
 Morning Glory: What has become of you? Have you changed into Moth CT Hubbard?
 As to the Photographer, I am won dering if sae is the Sister who re- fused to tell her name until some flu ture time. Am I right? Or Married and Happy, is it your Only One Cor one of his school friends), trying to have a little fun with us?
 Ready: Hope your father is we'll again.
 Roxana Vince: also like chocheted rugs. Have finished two Will the Sister who made the chick en-pie for the April 18th meeting please send in the recipe2 It was fine and different from any l have ever ! seen. Also. was there paprilxa in one of the potato salads2 If there was | will the Sister who made it please tell | Us how she did it? It was fine. Sunbonnet Sue: When I'm ready to change my name will ask you for a new one.
 Peggy Anne: Do you recognize the | likeness yet?
 Billie: It isn't possible to be too courteous is it? Because true cour- | tesy is simply the expression of a kind | heart, and is the spirit, not the form | of our words and actions. Still think you were right in the instance | you mentioned, though I should call il | a question of good form instead oi ! courtesy. If you were an elderly lady a friend of many years standing, thar l think it would have sounded better to introduce young girl as ''my | daughter Helen. But If the intro. dUction was to your son. say, theI | Miss Helen" or Miss Blank" woult have been better. At least so think.

MY FAC SMILE SALAD

Dear Social Cornerites: Two un- known third cousins came in on me, saying, being so near they thought they would look me up. My husband came at the same time and brought one-haIf pound fresh shrimps I had some cream, and after the shrimps had been steamed, I made them into a salad. same as you. would lobster. had a piece fresh shoulder roasting, and a kettle of cold mashed potato and tur- nip which I made into small cakes, and fried light brown both sides, some hot powder biscuit and small cucum- bers in vinegar out of our own gar den
 Cousin Jane said: -sfore of your lobster salad, please" They looked at each other, and us quite funny. Then Betsy said: We have paid as high us fifty cents a pound for lobster this winter in Boston and fresh eggs forty and more a dozen. We have always felt so sorry for you and farmers in general, but lands sake, you seem to have everything going! Our pity has been wasted"
 They were going on to Springfield and thought I might put them up a little lunch, some slices of cold sboul- der, thin sliceS bread, and if I had a little mustard. I did have 1t. They went at last.
 Half pound of shrimp will make your city cousins take notice of the scrub farmers.
 Dolly: Your soft gingerbread is nice have it as a standby.

DRIED FRUIT AND ITS PREPARA
 TON.

Dear Editor Social Corner: The let ter in last weeks Social Co<ner by L. H. K advising a cupful of sugar to each pound of fruit. and to boil and from my viewpoint that the enclosed was inspired, my first attempt in your department.
 If you will give peaches or prunes trial as per instructions here given, I believe they may become more pop ular in your family. and that my chances of winning one of your prizes may be enhanced And if you will try L. H. Ks method in comparison, I have no fear of your decision.
 Dried Fruit and Its Preparation Meats and cereals-includfng bread constitute far too large a proportion of the food of Americans. They are acfd-forming, and fruits and vegetables should be eaten in larger amounts than is usual to neutralize this acidlty. Dried fruits are convenient, reasonable | in price, easily prepared and very family keeping house should at all l times have a good supply of dried peaches, prunes, nectarines. raisins and cooking figs. and especially is this i'm portant if there are children.
 The figs come white and black. and often, as at present, may be bought al a lower price than either of the other dried fruits. The last we bought cost only cents per pound Prunes used to be of four kinds. the common sweet Santa Clara, Oregon, Ruby and Silver named in the order of their sweetness The Oregons and Rubys are our fayori- tes, and as we prepare them need nc sugar. The Santa Claras are too sweet unless mixed with tarter fruits, and | the Silvers need sugar. We have been unable 10 find either Ruby or Silver ir late years. and have been informed they were produced from unripe fruit, and sinco enactment of the pure food laws are no longer permitted in interstate 1 commerce.
 To prepare peaches, prunes, necta. rines. apricots and figs for the table | first wash and rinse quickly in tepiC water. then pour over them enough boiling water to cover with an inch ol two to spare, set at back of stove where Il they will keep only warm for en houl or more. That's all At least give then ' all a trial without sugar. as this as wei

 Aunty No. 1: I am glad to know what a useful article I have that you made I have felt the need of it many times.
 Will some of the Sisters please send in some recipes for lemon pie that are different.
 A good silver polish prepared chalk that you can get at a drug store; rub on with soft flannel.

appreciated all, that helped to make such pleasant gathering q.
 To be little personal, would say, Juliet was my first acquaintance, and Olga the last to say. Good bye"
 There were several thoughts and ideas that came to my mind that day, which were suggested from observa- dcns. From my own standpoint, in which I know, others share with me, the fear of criticism was prominent. Perhaps only imaginative fear. but some sort of tfmidity in some form. Though 1t be true the world over, we cannot all be congenial, we must diff fer in our tastes and diSapprovals, yet do believe we have one unity. and that Is the fear of criticism. Per rectly natural we should be so, and there seems but one alternative and that is to take courage.
 By this suggestion I would maintain that we ought not to permit a kind act, friendly letter, a card, even a smile, or a clasp of the hand to pass may say, for if we do, our good in- tention is no better than good dream, here we need some courage. to overcome timidity. or some friend or stranger will lose a benefit.
 Many times we may fear criticism, that never develops perhaps imagina- | ton holds a high standard, then sure- ! ly we must remove this if we would | accomplish good results from kind | deeds. Courage again-in so many walks of life, how many mothers and | sisters dare to go into a saloon. and | ask the son or brother to come out There are some brave hearts who will do 1t, but many more too timid tc bear the jeers and scornful laugh and perhaps O defeat in the object of theiI | call.
 ] Whenever see the likeness, the face of Frances Willard. 1t always appeal: to me, as one whose ambition and life. 1 work was a noble type of courage, ana 1 as l observed that profile picture or the wall of the W. c. T. U. room al | Willimantic I was reminded, that sev. eral years ago, 1t was my privilege ant pleasure to see her. and hear he voice from the platform
 The fear of criticism often hinder, us from practicing those traits, whicl seen in others we admire.
