Magazine Fan" Declares Stories In
 Most Periodicals Are Unlike Life
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

T adore reading the magazines" ss- the pretty, enthusiastic magazine fan as she munched chocolate bonbon and rocked herself to and fro in gaily col ored hammock on the piazza. They are so deliciously unlike life. The stories that the front page man spiels, as the big, gripping things from life are nothing unusual, but the fantastic creations ot the writer's brain, whoever he happens to be. What does the average pot boiling hack know about life?'
 And yet you spend your life reading the magazines the man in the white flannel said reproachfully, ''even if the magazine stories aren't true to the diff forent phases of life. The people who could write the big stories are too busy living them to put them down in cold gray type. Even if they weren't, they're not the kind that would spread out real emotion on paper for any man or woman with the price of a magazine to read"
 T don't know about the serious stories," she said, but I think the av- craze love story in a magazine of today especially in the better class of maga- zines, the 35-cent kind, is rather ordi- nary. l don't believe one of the 35-cent editors has ever got down close enough to life to recognize real thrill if he met it in the middle of the road, and the brands of emotion they serve up with il- illustrations that are usually drawn with no connection whatever with the story well, it does make story writing and story-reading rather a farce"
 You think then that it's only the 35- cent editors" he observed who don understand red-blooded life?"
 T don't mind admitting" she an- swered, that I'm afraid I do feel that way about 1t. The stories that really please me- that keep me awake in a ham, mock are the awful yarns and blood curdling effects you find in the dime magazines-the kind you see 'drummers' reading in the day coach of country train. That's my idea of the people who can appreciate a transcript from life, anyway
 'The other day." the man unused, T saw something in a magazine that amused me very much. I've forgotten the name of the story-there really wasn't anything to make me remember but the one thing that attracted me was when the hero said that marriage was a serious thing. This is the jist of what he said: Tn matrimony we all know there are no rain checks handed out; when you go in you have to sit through the whole darned show, whether you like itnor not Now don't you think that rather clever?'
 of course, it is clever, but terribly

Home Made Lemon Extract

T should like to get recipe for mak-
 ing lemon extract I know it requires
 lemon juice and rind and alcohol. I want to know the proportions of the process. Now word with regard to vanilla ex- tract. I head an inquiry in the Corner and asked my druggist. I find am noth- ing ahead Vanilla beans cost 75 cents an ounce and alcohol 50 cents a pint. I can buy pure vanilla extract for $50 a pint I'll. S."
 Speaking frankly, the Corner has little faith in the success of home made ex- tracts in this day and generation. We may publish recipes contributed by re- spected members and grant other mem bers the opportunity to try them. Unless the housemother is the fortunate owner of such "still'' as was used by great-grand- mothers of ante-revolution reputation the instrument giving it's name to the ''still room'' of which we read in old novels-she would act more wisely in buy ing the extract from her druggist than in attempting to make it herself. Having freed it's mind upon that head, the re- quest for a recipe for making lemon ex- tract is referred to wiser heads than ours.

Wants German Lessons

My husbands parents speak German, and when I visit them it makes it difficult for me- as I can only speak English. cannot afford to take lessons from a teacher. Do you know of a free day school where I could go and learn? Or if you know of a book that I might buy that is not expensive and which would help me, I shall be much obliged for the information.

Giving a Lawn Party

The choir of the church to which belong is expecting to give a lawn party. I have been appointed one of a commit tee of three to arrange for the enter tainment. I do not know much about things of this sort, and hope some of the readers of your column will offer suggestions as to games and methods of entertaining at lawn parties. 1 will save mine and when I get enough to make it worth while you shall hear from me again. B. c. P"
 Much depends upon the extent and character of the grounds in which the lawn party is given. For instance, if the location is suburban, with extensive stretches of turf dotted with shade trees under which may be rustic seats, swings and other appliances that offer social en- joyment and sports, the work is easy enough. Tables for small or large par ties are set under the trees and the serv- ice, including waiting, is after the fashion of picnics. Rugs may be spread upon the grass here and there and games of divers sorts provided for the livelier members of the party. At ope party a prize was offered for the one who found and gathered the greatest number of four-leaf clovers; another for any two leaves or wild flowers brought in to the judges, which should be found to be ex- actly alike. This function" was in the gracious grounds of a country house. The main thing is to get the revelers out of doors and to entertain them there as they could not be amused within doors The refreshments are all cold, of course. The sandwich family comes into lively play; salads may be served already dressed; cages and creams and fruits, iced tea and coffee and sherbet are the conventional refreshments. You have lively wits of your own. Set them to work in devising decorations and anuse- ments suitable for sylvan life. Our ju- niors may offer novel notions, of which we have not thought.

 Blame for much of the rottenness in local county politics was laid at the door of the local money power by Rev. S. E. Wasson, former pastor of the First Meth odist church of Huntsville, now of At- lanta, in sermon to his former congre- gation He said the men who hold the purse strings failed to take advantage of their chance to improve conditions when the saloons were voted out, and have since been preying upon the ignorant and allowing that class to hold the balance of power. "They did not so much as lend the weight of their hand to accomplish this cleansing and betterment of political conditions" he said. Why lay the blame on the uneducated, the men who are living in ignorance, when the men composing the money power of the county sit idly by and make money through conditions as they exist?'
