ONE WAY TO SAVE
(By DR.. Frank Crane.)


If man is naturally saving, | have
But people who need some plain

spenders.

to say why). They are generous,
warm-hearted and lovable But some
day they are likely to awaken with
sudden jolt and realize that this world
| is hard, forgetful ungrateful, and has
insides that are solid brass.
Guard against yourself! If you arc
making $4,000 4 week, put away $500
of it. whether you can or not Don't
tell me it is impossible. Do it any
way. Shut your eyes and make your
self think that you don't own that
$500. If you are earning 5000, save
$500 of it
know it sounds trite and worn and
preachy, but just the same it will
save you some day from nasty, bitter
time. 1t is the first reader, primer,
elemental lesson in self-respect.
You cannot possibly manage it by
your own will reinforce your will.
And one of the best known devices for
! stiffening up wobbly will is life in
surance.

ahead once, and a slick thief, whose
name | should like to advertise, but
can't, took it away from me.
But a suave life insurance agent
came around one day and wheedled
me into taking policy. Then every

other policies. And now they have
,, most of them, turned in to money il
my pocket. They have helped me owe
many a ditch. They have driven tn
ghosts away from my bed and let m

tons.
Hence. I say if you are insurable

Insurance.
Last February an increase of ap-

insurance rates on the state educa-
tional institution properties was ar
bitrarily made by the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific.
Being determined to get the former
favorable rates re-estabHshcd the
State Board of Education, during 4
period when little insurance was eX-
piring, discontinued renewing its poll

AS result of these actions and the
negotiations conducted by the business
agent with the Board Of Fire Under
writers, a ,new and better form of COW
ering, with rates 7 per cent lower than
the most favorable previous rates, was
agreed upon at the last meeting of the
State Board of Education. By this
arrangement a large saving is made ii

IN SELECTING A HOME.

Dear Social Corner Writers: There is economy in the intelligent selection of a tenement to live in. A tenement that faces the south instead of the north is more comfortable in winter; and one on the south side of a house requires much less coal to keep it warm than if it had a northerly ex- posture. It is also important that a house should be dry and we'll venti- lated.
 We do not give half thought enough to having the home arranged for health and cheerfulness. The kitchen should be the pleasantest room in the house; the dining room the least so The rooms in which most time is spent should be the sunniest and have the most pleasing outlook.
 The bathroom should be well venti- lated. A physician has said that if he. could have sunshine i'll only one room in the house, he would have it in the bathroom.
 The bedrooms must be we'll venti- lated. If possible, sunshine should shine into them at some time of the day. Children, especially, should sleep in an airy, and sunny room, so if there is only one -r,such room the children should have it for their nursery.
 The time to inspect tenement is during a wet spell or cloudy weather Seeing it at it's worst is not mislead- ing.

A FEW SELF-HEiPS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is no easy matter to keep the children's beds tidy. Some of the Sisters may not know how to keep the quilts clean at the top, where they rub against the faces of the children. Take a strip of cloth sixteen inches wide, turned over the quilt, so that eight inches will be on each side, and you will find that it is an excellent protector, much better than to depend on the movable sheet.
 It may be of linen or fine cotton, made either with a hem one inch wide all around, stitched on the machine or hemstitched, or the outer edge that is intended for the outside of the quilt may be scalloped or hand en- broidered The appearance of the strips is of the sheet turned over, and there Is little work attached to rip ping them off when they are soiled and require washing. They save many cleansing bills.
 Wash furniture with luke warm water and mild white soap, adding a little linseed oil to the pail of water. Wipe dry immediately and polish with a soft cloth.
 I have frequently soiled a dainty waist or skirt by pricking my finger while dressing One day I tried cov- ering the spot of blood with a paste of cold starch and warm water. I found when the paste dried and came off the

AN ATTRATCTIVE GIFT FROM OLD
 GLOVES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Have you an old pair of long gloves kid evening gloves-whose fingers are worn through and are no longer fit for use? Then let me advise you to utilize them for most attractive bag, either shopping or for more dressy occasion, according to the amount of work you put upon the kid.
 First make a bag of plain satin or some pretty brocaded material The bag may be ten inches long and six inches wide, with silk cord run leaving at least an inch at the top for @ faced frill.
 Cut the gloves apart at the seam, lay them out fiat and cut them seven and one-quarter inches wide and fourteen inches long. Then from the center of these two pieces of kid cut an oblong curved piece nine inches long and four Inches wide, leaving five inches at the base plain so that the opening will be near the top.
 Next curve off the outside edges five inches from the base, so there will be nicely shaped opening through which to slip your hand when carrying the bag. The kid is then finally but tonholed together across the bottom and I'D each side for the five inches where it meets then the curved pieces that form the handles are buttonholed all around the edges with whatever color silk you use for the joining work On the base of the bag of kid thus formed is embroidered some pretty of the person to whom 1t belongs. A border design may be used around the edges and when it is done 1t is pretty to set flat Jewels or nail heads in the center of the circles.
 Slip the satin bag inside the kid one

HULDAH's SUMMER TRIPS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have been gadding 2 about so much that I have not attended many of the Social Corner parties this summer. and [ know by the descriptions given, that I have missed many good times. But one can be in but one place at a time and l have spent a delightful sum- uer.
 had the good fortune to see the big fleet of warships, submarines, tor pedo boats, colliers and regular war vessels. while they were in Newport harbor, and it was an imposing sight to see them moving slowly out of the harbor, in the wake of the mother ship, to go to the maneuvers.
 I have also just returned from an auto trip to the White Mountains. The mountains, always grand. were at the height of their beauty with their au- tumnal dress and snow caps
 We were off bright and early, stop ping at Nashua, N. H. then on birthplace of Daniel Webster, through the old tollbridge to Weirs, on the banks of the beautiful Lake Winnipe- saukee, for a short rest and lunch, driving slowly on through winding roads, getting glimpse of mountains and mountain streams, stopping to see Indian Head' mountain and the "Old Man" of the mountains, curious for nation of rock. making a perfect pro- file of man. It is. mentioned in Hawthorne's Great Stone Face.
 Then we walked through the woods to see the Wonderful Plume. This is narrow gorge. 10 feet high and 700 feet long, with water gushing out of rock the whole length
 A little farther on we pass Echo Lake and down a three-rnile hill into F'ranconia where we stayed another night.
 It showed during the night and was very cold the next morning when we started for Bretton Woods; but we braved the weather. and were well rewarded by @ fine view of the Presi- denttal Range. with it's highest peak Mt. Washington. 6293 feet high. It has a cog railway three miles long, to the Tip Top House, where the view is sublime.
 Then the return home. stopping for a night ih the pretty little town of Meredith, and another night at the Groton Inn. and then safely reaching home, with many pleasant memories of the trip. and wishing all night have the same pleasure.

 Then you have most artistic bag that is light in weight, quite strong enough to hold anything you desire to carry.
 Such bags are delightful gifts for your friends If tine kid is light in color these are splendid for opera bags.
 Lavender sachet Bags--These are very nice. Who does not love the faint perfume of lavender flowers? In past generations the delicate purple blossoms dried in the sun were used almost constantly by our grandmOthers to scent their fine linens, their hats and gloves; but now, with the return of fashion of other days, the vogue
 for lavender is with us again. Truly fastidious women now have their clothing laid between pads of lavender and pinned in front of their gowns is q small sachet covered with silk or linen embroidered to match the ribbon used in the lingerie. Twelve inches of three-inch ribbon, wide ribbon cut in half then sewed together on the selvage edge and fTinGed out on the cnds then filled with dried lavender flowers to wear in the corsage. This makes the incest
 kind of q sachet.
 I-lJIlc DdSS CT nap padS or nanCKer-
 chief linen, having some dainty blos-
 som or pretty spray Of flowers em- broidcred on them. are nice for the
 linen chest.
 Embroidered handkerchiefs folded ovc:' in envelope style, then stitched
 in place, make pretty sachets when filled with lavender: any small pieces l-of silk or linen can be utilized for this purpose.
 Lavender flowers are quite inexpen- sive. Women with slender purse
 can afford a sachet of this kind and they make delightful gifts for the holiday season.

 handkerchief. These medallions can be scwed on your glove. ETHELYN.

HOW THE SEASONS PARALLEL
 OUR LIVES

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- I have been interested in reading the accounts of the October picnic or party held at the home of Aunty No. 1. Glad you all had such good time, and l am sure I should; have enjoyed being with you, had it been to my conven- fence to attend.
 These beautiful October days, and evenings as we'll, are apt to tempt us to say, this Is the best season of the year." and we should like to enjoy it for a much longer period, if Nature would permit.
 The autumn months bring us many suggestions that parallel the limited space allotted to our earthly days. We are now at the third season of the year, the harvest time, for our work and laibors of the soil. Truly, we en- joy the results from the sowing in the spring time, and our care for such has not been aniSS.
 I oft en recall to mind, story that was in one of my reading books at school. It was about aeboy, who found so much pleasure in each season of the year, that he wa sal ways exclaiming how he wished it could always be that particular kindof beautiful weather True 1t may be. we can find charm for the days of spring when the bud and leaf are unfolding, and beginning life anew. The early flowers are so welcome and the green grass once more at our feet, reminds us that death is but sleep of nature
 As the summer months are mostly dreaded for the heated atmosphere, yet our greatest pleasure for the out door fife, is at this season. Autumn, with it's beautiful foliage, the cool and bracing air we breathe, the annual feast for Thanksgiving day, all prom ise much to us.
 When the earth is covered with the pure and sspotless snow ald many places of debris and filth are hid for a time, how grand then are the days of winter. So we might compare these seasons to some lives we may have been in contact with. < We find so many good traits in each stage of liv- ing, that perchance tie unpleasant ways are in the balance Many a child in the early days of his life may be nisjudged: those half way along their journey. in the summer of life, are often misunderstood; as the eve ming shadows fall on he pathway, many serious thoughts finger around the f1reside, for only one more change is due, and then the seasons of life will be closed, like tale that is told. One point I would emphasize; as

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I wonder how many of the Sisters have enjoyed their gladioIi Or had them to enjoy as have this summer? :? They are one of my favoritesS flo Wers.
 Farmer folks are beginning to re- alfze the value of the gladiolus as a farm flower. They are showy flowers when all the colors are represented; end yet there are so many delicate shades of color. and such perfection of form that they satisfy most any one. They are so nice for cutting as well as for garden display. As the bulbs increase so rapidly it is well for us to know of their care after they are through blooming,
 If there are any varieties of bulbs you want to keep separate, better la- bel them while in bloom Fasten the label to the stalk about six inches above ground and you can cut the flowers without bothering 1t. When you pull them you can keep the label on the stalks until you are ready to remove the husks. but after that put each bulb in a separate sack or wrap each one in a tissue paper with the label. Keeping colors and sorts sep arate makes it nice when planting out
 time comes. if we wish to plant in color masses.
 Dig the bulbs or pull carefully after a good frost and let them dry out well before storing. If you have a sheltered place where you can let-them dry for week or two it will be bet
