Upon my return home glanced over the back numbers of The Bulle- tin and read each Social Corner page. I felt very much as Rip Van Wrinkle did upon awakening from his long sleep. A long list of new writers met my eye; in fact, the procession was so long that I found myself wonder ing if they were really all new writers or some of the older writers with a new name.

I regret I was not on hand with an anniversary greeting to the Social Corner editor and writers but though late in rendering my con- gratulations to the editor for his six years of successful mana agement of the Social Corner page and to the writers who have, contributed towards the suc- cess of it, I do so now, with all sin cerity.

SOME TASTY USES OF MEET.

Twelve O'Clock Pie: This Is made with shoulder of mutton, boiled with carrots and onions, then cut up and mixed with potatoes separately boiled and cut up, and put into a baking dish.
 The crust is made by wiping smooth ly mashed potatoes to which a table spoon of shortening has been added with enough flour and water to make them roll out easily.
 A pie made of a pound of meat will require 5 or small boiled potatoes and or g peppers, and other season. ing, such as onions and carrots may be added to taste. A teaspoon of baking powder makes the crust light CT.
 Spanish Beefsteak: Take a piece of round steak, weighing two pounds, and about an inch thick, and pound until l thin. Season with salt and cayenne pepper: cover with a layer of bacon or salt pork, cut into thin slices, roli and tie with a cord. Pour around il

Before It Is Too Late.

Before It Is Too Late. If vou have a gray-hafred mother, In the old home far away, Sft down and write her the letter You have put off day to day. DoI,'t wait until her tired steps Reach heavens pearly gate, But show her you think or her, Before it is too late! If vou have a tender message, Or a loving word to say, Don't wait till you forget It,
 But whisper it today! Who knows what bitter memories May haunt you if you wait! Oh, make your loved ones hapPy' Before it is too late! We live but in the present,
 Tine future is unknown, Tomorrow is a mystery.
 Today is our own The chance that fortune lends to us May vanish while we wait; So spend your life's rich treasure Before it is too late! The tender words unspoken'
 The letter never sent. The long forgotten message,
 The breath of love unspent, For these some hearts are breaking For them some loved ones walt So show them that you care TOT IheI Before it is too late!

HINTS FOR MARKING cHILDREN's
 CLOTHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few hints about marking children's garments so they will not mix:
 One can buy in the various stores initials by the yard, worked in red or blue outline stitch, on narrow strips of linen tape, three-eighths or a half inch wide.
 These letters are used for marking plain underclothing, etc They are of great use to the mother with a large family. who has neither money nor time to spend on embroidery and who finds 1t necessary to have some dis tinguishing mark on the clothing, es- pecially when there are two children the same size.
 strip when needed and overcast on the inside of the garment, any place where 1t will not be visible when worn.
 When this system is used ever stockings are easily paired. Sew eact childs initial at the top of the stock. ing on the inside: then put a eros: stitch in red under the letter on eaci stocking of the first pair. Use a blu, , cross stitch on the second. yellow or the third, etc.
 It is an easy matter to sort even | large pile of stockings; two Ms witt red crosses being a pair of Mary stockings, two Ms with green crosse another pair. while two Us with blu | crosses are a pair of stockings belong | ing to Jack.
 If two children have the same ini tial use the blue letters for one am red for the other.
 If this method is used a great dea of time and labor will be saved. es pecially in the sorting of the garment.
 Best wishes to all.

TO MAKE PEoNIEs BLOOM.

Editor Social Corner:-One of the Sisters asks what will make her pe- onies fiower7
 Two things-sufficient food: suffi- cient sunshine.
 If they have been long in present situation and do not make flowers move to better soil, or more sunshine.
 Every fall I dig in about a foot from them well routed manure.
 When they get to the budding stage give them plenty of water with ni- trate of soda-teaspoon to quart dissolved in it. If they do not bloom then move to a new place and fertil- ize early in September. The Sisters who receive dahlia seeds from Joseph Doe are likely to see some surprising blossoms. They are all dahlias. There are no other seeds among them. I hope every packet will give pleasing results. JOSEPH DOE. ! Norwich.
