Tho most conspicuous politico- social
movements in the United States at
the present time. as evidenced by the
recent activitis in the various state
legislatures are woman suffrage and IL
quor regulation. Whether one is in
favor of these things, or opposed TO
them. the fact remains that greater
progress has been made in both wo-
man suffrage ana liquor regulation b.
the 1915 legislatures than in any pre-
vious period in the political history of
the United States. Woman suffrage
came up for consideration in twenty
two states: and in eleven of them it
was defeated. In others suffrage was
either victorious or provision for sub
mission to a general vote was made
That both issues are still vital and viii
continue to be until definitely settled
appears certain.

AFTER YEARS OF SILENCE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis
ters: l don't think I've written to The
Corner since the first year that it
started.
There seemed so many new mem
bers coming, with such interesting let
ters that I hated to take up any of
the so brilliantly filled columns, with
my humble contributions: but on our
anniversary I am tempted to "butt-in"
once more. For having been a young
and totally inexperienced housekeeper
1 have appreciated exceedingly the
many useful suggestions which our
more experienced Sisters have con-
tfbuted. Having married when
was only seventeen, have had to real
ly teach myself to cook and to make
my own clothes and hats-the last two
accomplishments CO being a great
economy. are they not? At least I
have found t5em to be so. I have.
been helped not little by the val
liable Social Corner recipes and hints,
L wonder If the more experienced
housekteepers would resent a small
suggestion from one of the kids If
not, would like to tell you of one dis
covery-which may be well known to
many of you-but which delighted me
exceedingly when I found it out re-
Gently. You see. I have been in des-
pair of ever keeping really shining
and white the white oil-cIoth which
around the sink, etc, for If you
scour it with Dutch Cleanser and the
like, it leaves it dull looking and
wears it out so quickly; and quite by
accident. in filling the lamps, I found
that just wipfng it with kerosene oil
will completely remove all grease and
black rings etc; and then, after wash
ing with ivory soap and hot wafer It
leaves the oil cloth shining like new
as well as perfectly clean; and It
wears just twice as long.
I think that I hear Come of the
Sisters laughing at me-"didn't the
child know that before?" But I don't
care; all those little discoveries de-
light me. Scientific MANAGEMENT"
is just as important in a well and
economically kept home, as in a we'll
conducted Office. isn't it? So if I've
been too fresh this time, I'll sit meekly
hereafter and be good listener in
stead Of chattering so much.
Isn't it too bad that so many of
our Sisters have changed their 'pen
names? For now I don't know many

in The Corner. but I shall retain my

A TALK TO MOTHERS.

Dear Social Corner SisteTs:-I think
our birthday meeting at Willimantic,
March 8, is worthy of praise. / know
all the sisters enjoyed themselves and
had a pleasant time. as well as my
self.
Am sending in a few hints on dis
positions of children. How proud a
mother is to hear of anyone saying
her children have good manners, or
hear a teacher say her children are so
pleasant and easy to manage at school.
Physicians say a child's disposition
is formed while it is asleep. If so,
children and especially small ones.
should be happy and contented when
put to bed. Don't spank them or
speak cross TO them before they go to
bed. Say kind words to them and
kiss them good night when they re-
tire, also, teach them their prayers
and you will be so glad when they
are men and women.
Always be polite to your children as
that will always teach them 20 be po-
lite. If you take anything from their
hands say thank you" and require
them to repeat 1t when you hand them
anything. 1t is nice to have them
say excuse me- on leaving the table
after each meal. Teach your boys to
raise their hats when passing a lady.
whether on the street or a quiet coun-
try road. Teach them never to lie, or
to be rude to anyone.
Set the example Of politeness at
home and it will soon become second
nature to them.
Hope spring will greet US soon.

THANKS FROM THEoDA.

Dear Editor and Sisters: one of
the hostesses I want to thank you all
for your hearty and generous sup
port which made the 9Th anniversary
gathering such a complete success. 1

my call for special things, and to
Olga and others for their splendid
contribution; and to those whose eff
forts were crowned with praise in
their beautifully decorated cakes,

licious as they looked.
We are grateful to Willing Helper
who did not let her right hand know
what her left hand did, in giving
faithful and constant service.
Many thanks are due the Bulletin
Company for their part in our en-
joyment. The ice-cream was greatly
enjoyed.
What a splendid anniversary page,
and such surprises as always seem to
be in store for US.
Nedra: Thank you for the nice
card. Perhaps you would know more
than two in The Corner if you really
knew who is who?" knew your
husband in time past and sat not far
from you in church once. Now it is
your turn to guess.

BEING COURTEOUS TO CHILDREN

Billie asked me to speak my mind
on the subject and I accept. I wish
every mother had the sense of the one
who introduced her daughter as Miss
Helen"
If a true gentleman or lady Is as
polite to the washwoman as to the
queen, why should It humiliate a per-
son to be decently courteous to a child?
If girl of IL is not treated as il she
was a lady she will not expect ii at
16, and the men who have called her
Mary" all her life will continue to
and new corners will call her cheap
and familiar" and she will stop the
struggle and be Mary to every Tom,
Dick and Harry in turn.
Old middle aged and young men are
equally distrusted by wise mothers II
they are too familiar with a school,
girl; and IL is better to excuse the
mother for being too careful to learn
the daughter to respect herself than
to pity her when it is too late.
No boy wants to be reminded how
young he is by his elders in public.
and a true mother wants him to ap-
pear at his best to her friends, and a
true lady or gentleman will try to
make those Of less social importance
feel at their ease.
True politeness (even to a tramp or
convicO never Inundated even a king

cheerfully.
