THOUGHTS OF JUNE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- As the month of June comes to us once more, we welcome the daisies, buttercups, clover, and all flowers of the field and woodland.
 Many long iooked-for anticipations will be realized this month, in college and school graduate, the June bride, the memorials and anniversaries of days gone by. Indeed, the month of June, with many of us, presents days of sunshine and flowers, from various points of view. Especially, prominent will soon be the roses, which are just now Esid within the bud.
 AS we think of the roses we may recall some sad scene,-a cold hand that clasped delicate rose, and again we hear a voice speaking to us give me my roses while I nvep True, there can be much comfort and many kind thoughts of appreciation real ized, by just giving to the sick and the sad their roses for ihe day, for when they have passed beyond, the roses of this life will do them no good. Time is posing fast away
 Let no duty be delayed,
 For the rose that never fades Give, where grief the heart invades.
 Greetings with June roses.

This makes two very large loaves; each filling a small milk pan, and should be baked in rather slow oven at least four hours, with paper laid over the top of 1t shows symptoms of burning.
 This is not to take a place among the economical recipes. but usually at times of weddings, people don't study that as much, perhaps they ought.
 Jack London is not the only one who is figuring to get a living off a bare rock. These are discouraging times, with prices soaring higher and higher. | have spent hours trying to make one dollar do the work of two: and as a friend of mine said. Ito make a sheet out of n.ght-cap'' and haven't solved the problem yet.
 We have to eat and if we don't have enough or the proper kind of food, we are pretty sure to suffer for 1t in the long run; and also, we have to have something to wear. Like Man. who have often rummaged among discard ed hats and garments and found just what I wanted to make others. or trim them, but that don't always hap pen. Then we have to buy new things or go without.
 But it does give one a comfortable and virtHous feeling, if we can make something worth while without costing l much.

 Jennie: Heartily agree with you in your apron hobbie. never feel as If I am fully dressed unless have on some kind of an apron, they are so much of a protection to the dress
 We are proving the proverb true We do not appreciate the water un- til the well runs dry" We realize now what a blessing the electric cars were, now that we are deprived of their ser vice. We are hoping and paying that all those who are to blame and caus- ing all this discomfort and loss to to so many people may be led to remem- Ger the Golden Rule, and think of the riEasts of others as well as of their own selfish desires.
 I would say to Daisy of Canterbury that there is much need many times oi the patience of Job and the meelxnesz of Moses, while taking summer board CTS. There is no way of making money on the farm but there are some trials and many tiresome steps to take; vel there are many blessings, tool AUNT MARY.
