FIRST GATHERING OF CLUB NO. 1

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-Just a few lines about Social Corner Club No. Is gathering which was held Dec. 7th CT Twelfth street at the home of Eliza Jane. We al. spent a delightful day. The weather was fine but rather cold.
 There was nice roaring fire to keep us warm. which we greatly appreciat- ed; and we jol1ed and laughed till the rafters shook with our merrlmept.
 When Scottie recited we laughed till we cried.
 The lunch was o. K couldn't have been improved if we had dineG at the Wauregan or Delmonico's.

ECONOMICAL RAISED DOUGH-
 NUTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters. This is the season for hakeGe beans, bTown bread and doughnuts.
 L. K. H.. Am interested in your douGhnut recipes. I eXperimented with mine to make raised ones at the least expense during the high prices and found by weighing the ingredients that thirty medium sized ones cost sixteen cents. As they fry raTher slowly in cooking oil, TO extra fuel is needed and scarcely any odor is de- tected.
 I save some to friend, and three days later she returned for the re- cipe.
 A Corner Sister missed the paper that had the recipe so will give it again:
 Raised Doughruts One Magic yeast cake. one scant cup warm water, two tablespoons snolasses, one and one half cups bread flour. Will |. be light in two hours; add one e-half cup sugar, two tablespoons shortening one beaten egg, salts cinRamcn and nutmeg to taste: two, and one-half cups flour. In the morning flour the board enough to mould. roll one-half inch thick; cut in small squares. This does away with the pieces between as when cut with round cutter. Fry when one inch high. Five ounces of oil was used for frying the last batch. If kept in a covered pail will keep moist a week.
 Many thanks for The Corner vellew paper of last month.

PERTINENT THOUGHTS FROM
 JENNIE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- As the Christmas tide is so near at hand, presumably most everybody is making preparations, in various ways day. ----,-l
 There are many, especially little folks, who are made happy through the kindness and generosity of others while some feel u keen disappoint- ment that they were overlooked.
 I do not think it is always the gift of itself. that counts the most to the receiver: but it is the knowledge Of being remembered. t
 Oftimes a friendly call upon an in- valid, shut in from the outer walks of life, will be much more appreciated, and real pleasure, than to receive some little gift, which, perhaps. they do not need. It is not always easy to do and to give, just as we desire, but we can make the effort to do our best under our own personal co1di- tions. just as they are.
 Some people think unless they are able to give an expensive gift, they give nothing, which really does not show the true Christmas spirit. Is it not, the thought of 8 remembrance, worth more than the price of the gift ?
 Since postcards have prevailed, I think their agency has added much 10 the method of communica ton, not only for Christmas, but other holi- days and birthdays I think if more and more cards were sent out it would result in closer unity of friend : ship, this to apply not only to Social Corner Sisters, but to many others How much we enjoy looking over Q box of cards, received from one time to another of few years ago; how the, few words written thereon, speak volumes to us now: and the hand 6aaDQr membrance than a gift they might have sent instead.
 My sentiments do not discard the gift problem. but unhold the ides, to do the little duty that lies the near est, and then, go beyond.
 Wishing you all the joys and pleas ures of Christmas for 1916,

Somewhere the sun is shining, Somewhere the song birds dwell; Hush. then, thy sad repining, God lives and ali is we'll. Somewhere the day is longer. Somewhere the task is done; Somewhere the heart is stronger, Somewhere the guerdon won. Somewhere the load is lifted. Close by an open gate; Somewhere the clouds are rifted. Somewhere the angels wait Somewhere, somewhere, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. , Land of the true where5we live anew, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.

HOW TO DO FANCY WORK.

 The dainty eross-stitch borders are attractive on small guest towels. Worked in shades of yellow. with green or pale blue, or in two shades of green, the result is admirable. Many women select a material that has a block pattern and count the pattern out on this instead of using canvas. 3 A most attractive scarf for the bun galow or the veranda is made of
