TO ONE DEAD.

' think if you suddenly returned A little bewildered by the light and air, But smiling secretly at all you learned, Shaking the grave=dust from your shining hair [ think if should come with you to tea, ' should not find you changed or grave or sad, But keen with talk of what there was to see, Laughing the while in that frank way you had, There would be stories of the shadowy &host, And sprightly comment on the things they do: How this. one was most exclusive ghost, Or that one was adorable in blue, It would be good to hear the things you said Your light and usual gossip-of the dead

SOME PALATEA6LE DISHES
 STEAK.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: An economical way of serving steak is as follows:
 Almond Steak: Trim one pound of round steak and put it. with one-quar- ter cup of almonds, through the meat grinder. Mix thoroughly, add half a teaspoon of salt and Q dash of pepper and form into 0 large steak. either oblong. or round, one inch thick. Put 1t at once into a hot creased pan broiI quickly. first on one side and then on the other, then lower the flame and cook for six or seven minutes. Spread with one tablespoon of butter and serve at once.
 Tapioca Prune Delight: Take one pint of milk and cook 1t in double boiler for fifteen minutes with four tablespoons of tapioca and a pinch of salt. Remove from the fire and add gar and the yolks of two eggs. Pour into buttered pan and bake half an hour in moderate oven- Steam a cup of prunes until tender, rub through a sieve and spread over the top.
 BrusseI Sprouts Two pounds of sprouts. Trim and cook in boiling salted water till tender. Drain very dry. Heat butter, one-third cup. Add sprouts. saute till well seasoned with the butter. then sprinkle a little grated cheese over them and serve hot.
 Boiled Beets: Four beets, boiling water and little vinegar. Carefully wash any earth off the beets, but ev- cry care is needed to avoid breaking the skin, roots or crown, if this is done much of their color will be lost, and they will be a dull pink Lay them in plenty of boiling water, with little vinegar. boil them steadily, keeping them well covered with water for about one and a half to two hours for small beets and two to three and a half hours for large ones

GOOD SUGGESTIONS FROM AUNT
 MARY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: In the last White Ribbon Banner the state ment is made that the world Is divided into two classes: The people who SC out and try to do something: and those who stay at home and wonder why they didn't do 1t some other way.
 While reading that statement my thoughts turned to The Social Cor Sisters had criticised The Corner as not coming up to their standard. was wondering if the. critics were among those who are doing all they can to advance the interest of The Corner, or if they do not belong to by writing for The Corner to let us know what their standard Is, but have simply read and criticised with out helping.
 who have never written a word to help elevate the standard and I suggested that they write and show. the writers what they lacked and suggested inn provements where they felt they were needed.
 In Auntie No. 1's letter in last Sat urday's paper she says she thinks The Corner is all right. and she Is one who has done what she could to make it interesting and helpful.
 I often wonder why it is so much easier to find fault and criticise than to praise and encourage. We all know that The Corner can be inprov- cd very much, is. improving all the time. If it improves as much in the next six months as it<.has in the last six months 1t will be far in advance of what it was a year ago.
 Several have congratulated me on winning the first prize last month It was entirely unexpected as I had not the least thought of" prize when I wrote the letter. I think the letters that won second and third prizes were exceptionally good and I thank the Sisters, for their good ideas.
 I wish to greet North Dakota and think she must be very strong and robust to be able to endure that very cold weather she writes about <5 and 50 degrees below zero. How can they endure it. The weather here in Old Connecticut last Saturday was as cold as I ever want to endure, and the wind certainly blew strong enough if we do not have the level prairie of the West. T hope North Dakota will write often and let us know more about her state and how they man age to live in such severe cold wfnda;
 Best wishes to all The .Cornerftes and many thanks to The Bulletin for the yellow paper, received.

DOMESTIC HINTS AND HELPS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: am sending in a few household hints which may be new and helpful to some of you:
 Pour seaIding Water on oranges and let them stand five minutes. The thick white skin will adhere to the peel and come off with it, and make them clean and ready to slice
 To Wrap Cake that has soft iceing. stick a few toothpicks into the cake, and they will keep the paper from sticking.
 Before placing the potatoes in Oven, rub a little butter or lard over them The skin will peel off thin when done saving the most nutritious part of the potato.
 wrap in paper and put them under your bread pan in cold weather
 When ironing heat 8 brick and use it for a flat iron stand. It will help to retain the heat, and save steps.
 find great benefit in sand bags, take ed-ticking and make a bag ten inches long and six inches wide, fill it with nice clean sand; make slip cover so it can be washed: get 1t good and hot and 1t will Last long time. It is better than . hot water bag.
 Try sand bags for the window sash. when they do not fit tight. Take a strip of cloth the length of your middle window sash. four inches wide. make a cracks between your sash and 1t will bag of it fill with sand. cover the keep out lot of cold in severe weath- CT.
 # those who use clothes poles would put screw eye in the end of the poles and put the line through it they will not fall down. On a wire line they could be kept there all the time.
 Btddy-I certainly received the Xmas gift you sent in; and ana sure sent you a card acJxnoVIedxfnZ it aYn very sorry you did not get it think I sent cards to all those received any from at Xmas time and they were many. itor many happy returns of bis birth day and hope he enjoyed his birthday surprise frozne the Cornerftes.

If fde is stealing. or thinks that he is suspected Of stealing, he slips through : the trees so quietly that you would is wi.h three or four jolly friends and the weather suits him he makes a great racket. He makes several diff ferent sounds; some are like Q hawks cry, and some like an ungreased wheel barrow. His usual notes consist of a shrill cry like jay-jay-jay, repeated over and over again in a shrill high key. Sometimes there is a shriil whistle like wheo- wheo- wheo. and occasionally a sweet bell-like note.
 He can be tanned, and as a pet is very amusing He even learns to speak few words and that is a great achievement for bird. It is not safe
 to leave valuables within his reach for he will steal and hide them.
 wonder how many of us are fa- miliar with the little poem called The Mountain and the Squirrel"
 It was written by famous Amerf- can thinker and writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, who rarely wrote anything humorous. This poem Is one of the exceptions. Although it Is so humor- ous, is also teaches serious lesson. It reminds us that no two people have quite the same ability and talent, so each one has his or her own special
 work to do.
