MOUNTAIN LAUREL
SOMETHING ABOUT SEEDLlNc
 DALLAS,

Editor Social Corner:-With me this has not been a first class season for seeding dahlias and if the season closes in September it is doubtful if I get one blossom, when in other seasons from 50 to 75 per cent. have made flowers. This will leave a lot of small roots to be carried tnro the winter and some of the Social Corner seeding growers may wish to know how to winter them.
 Take boxes. pans or kettles, put in them an inch and a half of garden soil, then pack in the roots, cover every layer with the soil and have about two inches of soil on top. Then set them in the shade out of doors un- til the temperature approaches 34 de- grees. Before earth freezing weather sets in place in a cool cellar. If the cellar is heated, pack them as far away from the heater as possible.
 I have kept 100 of the tiniest roots imaginable in an iron kettle in this way and brought thro 96 for planting the following spring.
 This is a good thing for any dahlia grower to make a note of and to practice.

A WELL TRAINED HUSBAND.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- When men and women are travelling together is the time to observe whether the wife has her husband well trained, or the husband has his wife afraid to say her soul is her own
 You can readily tell 8 beau or an unmarried couple by their open regard for one another's welfare, and the average married couple by the lack of it.
 I do not know how many people I saw when 1 was on the North Shore, they ran into the thousands, but only saw one well trained husband.
 He was it. He was so attentive that he became the point of interest for many people, and especially for those women who have only remernbrances of sweeter days. He brought the can- opied chairs to the beach and set them up. It was quite a task for the striped hood always bothere an amateur. She sat down and watched the white crested waves and the bathers the moment the first chair was ready and she hadn't stirred in the several hours she was under observation: he hadn't been still a moment He took care of the baggage. he brought the water in antiseptic paper cups over the hot sands four or five times, he served the lunch; he took care of her wraps and his own: he took a picture of her sitting on the beach: he tanned her to keep the flies away and never stopped sto wipe off his own chin. He was no tobacco user, for he didn't work his jaws. or spit or take out a cigar case or { cigarette package and light up. x He9 96sdn't sneak. around the corner and take out O flask, ,s11e just sde-

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
If You Have a Friend,

If you have a frined worth loving,
 Love him Yes, and let him know That you love him, ere lifes evening
 Tinge his brow with sunset Eglow. Why should good words ne'er be said Of a friend-till he is dead? If you hear song that thrills you,
 Sung by any child of song, Praise tt. Do not let the singer
 Wait deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you may impart? If you hear a prayer that moves you By its humble, pleading tone. Join it. Do not let the seeker
 Bow before his God alone. Why should not your brother share The strength of two or three'' in
 prayer?
 If silvery laugh goes rippling,
 Through the sunshine on a face, Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying For both grief and joy a place. There's health and goodness in the
 mirth
 In which an honest laugh has birth. Scatter thus your seeds of kindness
 Ali enriching as you go Leave them. Trust the Harvest GiVer He will make each seed to grow So, until the happy end Your fife shall never lack a friend. Author Unknown.

EFFECTIVE METHOD OF HOUSE
 CLEANING.

Autumn is almost here, while it's at- tending duties in household affairs means that the woman who has system in her plans will accomplish more work than the cratic makeslift housekeep- CT.
 An easy way to clean house: First remove the linen coverings from the furniture, place in a tub of water in which naphtha and boraX have been added; while these adirions are doing the washing for you, the furniture should be taken out of doors and thor oughly brushed with a stiff brush. If the covering be durable, a beating with a rattan beater should be given and the woodwork wiped with warm water and chamois
 Paint should be cleaned with castillo soap and boTaX. Cut up in one quart of warm water, one tablespoon of soap and add a teaspoon of borax.
 Wall paper can be cleaned with bread crumbs, art gum or kneaded rubbers Carpets can be frightened after hav- ing them cleaned by putting ammonia in water and going over the surface with a cloth.
 Gas globes are frightened by bath in soap and ammonia.
 The curtains and other hangings are temper, a rested body, the knowledge of work well and thoroughly done war rant making haste slowly?
 Try the slow and sure method this fall

MAYFLOWER'S WAY,

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-As it is cool out today and damp, I will drop in the Social Corner
 My way for having new colors for bed quilt pieces and rug pieces is to color any colored rags you have a different color with dyes, you can take new white pieces and color them any color you want
 The way I make my cocoa frosting is very easy, for you do not have to boil it. I take about l 1-2 cups of frCsting sugar and tablespoons of cocoa. and hot water enough to wet and put on the stove and stir until smooth, and it is ready for the cake.
 Cucumber Pickies.-Take small cu- cumbers and soak in salt and water over night till next morning, bring vim egar just to boiling point then put in jars with the pickles. I use glass jars and a little powdered alum, about 1 teaspoon in 1 quart. This makes them keep hard. You can take big cucum- bers and use them the same way, only I cut them ID in small pieces
 Johnny cake.-I take IA cup of but ter or any shortening, 1 cup of sweet milk, 1 1-2 cups of yellow corn meal. 1-2 cup of flour, 1 or 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar. or any one can use molasses. 8 teaspoons of baking powder. I make the cake in loaves some times, and some times in thin cakes
 My Cocoanut Pies-Talte 1 cup of sweet milk. 1-2 cup of shredded cocoa.- nut. eggs and make about like GUS tard: with the cocoarrt put in, with one crust, you can either leave off or put on frosting, just as one likes.

oLaA's PICNIC ON THE 24.h.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-An- other one Of the most enjoyable meet ings of the season was held on Aug. 24th at the lovely home of Olga
 The house was attractively decorated inside and out with the Social Corner color.
 We were met by the hostess and re- .ceived a hospitabIe welcome
 All were busy for while exchanging greetings and meeting new members, as well as renewing old acquaintances.
 social time was enjoyed before lunch was served on the spacious ve- randa. AS usual the waitresses were kept busy trying to satisfy the waiting ones. In all directions you could see the delicious baked beans, salads, from view.
 Later on the delicious ice cream so generously donated by The Bulletin was appreciated.
 One feature of the day was guessing
 how many beans there were in glass dish. There seemed to be a tie be- tween Golden Glow and Whip-Poor- Will, each guessing $50, so gaining a prize of a cup and saucer each.
 Scottie favored us with Scotch song. There was vocal and instru- mental music which we all enjoyed at the plano. Recitaticns were finely given by Mrs. George I4add. About 50 members and friends gath cred to enjoy the beautiful day after a foggy and cloudy morning. It was remarked: Where will the next one be?" The answer was: ''Paula's, on the 3Oth." May she have a good crowd.
 I wish to thank all who so thought fully sent me birthday cards. I had 26 in all.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:-
 am sending in few things worth
 knowing.
 cinnannon sprins<Fed around will
 keep away ants.
 Dry Bread is excellent to clean
 smoke from ceiling, wall paper, etc. When Touching Eggs add little salt
 and vinegar to water before putting
 them in; helps to keep shape. For Ivy Poison apply lime water out
 wardly. Alum in paste for putting on wall
 paper will keep out sinners. Coffee is good to mix with stove blacking; helps it to stick Take a pound Baking Powder Can and make six or eight holes in bottum
 and you have one of the best choppers for fried potatoes. Cooked Starch may he greatly i'm proved by the addition of tablespoon full of kerosene. It makes the clothes glossy when ironed, and keeps the f1atirons from sticking. To relieve the smarting of @ burn, dip in water then sprinkle thickly with flour, so as to form a paste over it. This keeps out the air and stops the
 srnarting almost instantly.
 New Lamp Wicks, if boiled in vine gar before using, then thoroughly dried will not smell bad when burning. Paint Stains that are dry and old
 may be renewed from cotton or woolen goods with chloroform. First cover the spots with olive oil or butter. Ginger PouItices instead of mustard. prepared in the same manner you would prepare mustard poultlces will | relieve neuralgia and will not blister. 1 Ink Stains may be taken out by l soaking in sour milk. | Best wishes to all. | Rp GYyUN-TF

SOMETHING NEW AND GOOD.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: It IS pleasant to turn occasionally to something new in the way of food.
 Perhaps the following recipes may meet a long felt want for some of the Sisters:
 Brown Bread Sandwiches-If there is a part of a loaf of brown bread left, slice it up and trim off the crusted edges. Butter the pieces liberally and make sandwiches of them, using sliced bananas and a little sugar for the ill., ing. Lay the sandwiches in a buttered pan, arrange more sliced bananas on top and set in hot oven until the fruit is soft. Serve either with plain cream or SWeetened whipped cream. This dessert is so good that few will suspect that it is made from such homely ingredients.
 French Toast-Add one-half tea spoon of salt and two-thirds cup of milk to two lightly beaten eggs Dip slice of stale bread in mixture. Brown on each side on hot, well buttered griddle. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and serve hot.
 Rice Oneiet-A cup Of boiled rice is mixed with a cup of warm milk. Add a tablespoon of butter melted, a leEHl teaspoon of salt, a dash of pepper; r.,:s, we'll then add three well beaten eggs Piaoc q tablespoon of butter in a hot irving pan and when it begins to boil pour in the Cntalet and set the pan in a not oven. As soon as it is cooled through. fold it double turn it out on a hou dish and serve at once.
 Baked Kidney Beans-Three cups of kidney beans four onions, one pint stewed t0mQtoes, one-third teaspoon pepper, ono half pound salt pork, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon salt. Soak the beans over night; in the morning parhoil together with the on- ions. Put into the beanpot and stir in the tomatoes, salt, sugar and pepper. Bury pork in the beans, having water barely to cover. Bake about five hours in 9 slow oven.

 For a few moments Grace was stu pehed for she had forgotten all about her property, being so young, and the property valueless as was supposed, she had been exempted from taxation, as there had been nothing to draw her attention to it.
