HINTS IN SEWING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-The
woman who is skilIful with her needle
has her ways OF finishing work.
When she makes a skirt for her
mother, who is inclined to be stout,
she cuts the hips one inch lower at
the top than the front and the back
one and a half inches lower Thus
she prevents the skirt from pokinK
out to front.
She finishes the neck of an . outing
flannel garment with a buttonfoling
OF white or delicate coiored floss to
avoid facing it. Then she Is able to
add a narrow edging or scallop to I'm
ish It,
And when she is making aprons
she carefully hnisfes the seams so
that there is no wrong side. She makes
a pocket on. each side, and thus she is
able to turn it about and get double
wear out of it,
In place of the customary colored
ribbons it is better taste to use the
three quarter inch width of silk faced
black velvet ribon as ties and bow for
the corner or pocket of an apron.
Old kid or channels gloves mako ex-
cellent protectors for the points Of
scissors and shears. Cut out two
pieces a shade larger than the points.
stitch or buttonhoie them together and
slip on.

WHAT HIS WIFE DOES.

Editor Social Corner: Since war
is producing a world wide famine we
must look at the situation as it real
ly is. not as we think it is. A friend
writes me:
MY wife puts corn meal mush in
a fireless cooker for about four
hours. The very best thing in the
world in the way of a biscuit for
breakfast is a corn or corn and wheat
gem correctly, made
'"The people will have to eat a lot of
mixed corn and wheat -four this year
whether they want It or not and they
might as well learn how to cook corn
meal, SO they will never want to give
it up.
The proportion of white corn meal
may be carried up to one-third the
amount of wheat flower used, and the

THE QUALITY OF MEATS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters. An i'm
portant point about meats which every
housewife should understand is that
the most expensive cuts do not contain
more nourishment, pound for pound,
animal
of course meat where bone and fat
predominant are poor economy and
would be dear at any price; but the
lean round steak, or beef contains as
much nourishment the choicest sir
Ioin or porterhouse, while from the
humble flank, or chuck, we receive
more nutriment for the money spent
than we do for prime ribs Money
other meats with skilful cooking may
be made tender and savory.

A NICE LETTER FROM PoTLATcH.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I read
with interest the letters suggesting
many changes in the Social Corner. I
for one hope 1t will not change its
name We have a woman's page in
nearly every newspaper we read; but
we have only one Social Corner. The
gossip side has been one of its charms
for me- The little pen visits to one
another and exchange of thoughts and
useful suggestions, the pleasure of
finding out Who is who % and guess
ing who came next You know it's
the down east Yankee who is a guesser
so il fits our Social Corner family all
right
Let US not condemn anothers views
although they are not OF our way of
thinking or doing. If a thing seems
wrong to us. let us live as near as we
can TO what seems right.
The Madam sees no wrong in card
playing L feel the same, although 1
have never played cards as many do;
but it TO me is just a pastime with
friends, the same as croquet or any
other pastiTne for pleasure. To gamble
at any game seems wrong to me and
the great gamble of food. the worst Of
all Yet the men who do it are looked
up to and are often church members.
I would not condemn the church be-
cause of them
How often we make wrong of what
is good 1 know of several women
who are in i'll health, OVERRIDING fancy
work One, my next neighbor, is in
bed with nervous prostratiOn- l know
a woman in our city who is so anxious
70 help the poor Japanese she neglects
her home and children to do mission
airy work Yet I cannot condemn the
work she is doing.
What the people need today is more
love and justice. I believe if every
newspaper in this country would print
on its front page The Golden Rule and
less of war and murder, we should soon
have a change of heart and love one
another better, and think less of the
mighty dollar, and the power it brings
Pride is. to my idea, our greatest sin.
Yet pride is all right in its place
like all else
Let US feel we are one big family;
here for some good to ourselves and
our fellow men; remembering God in
His goodness will not misjudge one of
His children, for God IS love.
You see, am not like the ones
Aunty No. 1 wrote about. I dare to
write" and hope 1 haven't written too
long a letter or hurt anyone by my
chatter.

teaspoons baking powder. and flour to
make Just stiff enough to handle.

THE INVALID WITHOUT AN AP.
PETITE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
When you desire to send something
pleasing to a sick friend without an
appetite you think you are up against
a problem. You think and sweat and
wonder what under the sun you can
concoct to tempt her appetite. You
better leave that to the doctor. Ma
ture is the best restoref of the appe-
tite.
Be sure and hold in your heart
strong and hopeful thoughts for her
and send something she likes, a plant,
a flower, a book, a queer postage
stamp or trinket of any kind which
will amuse her and take her attention
from herself The mind is likely to
furnish good and safe medicine and
appetite usually responds to good
cheer. People die sometimes while we
are asking ourselves what we shall
do.

FARM

Dear Social Corner Friends: While
en- not a farmer, and never thought l
could be. surely have a lot of enthu-
siasnn this spring in regard to home
gardening.
We have an asparagus bed in the
back yard, and being so piggish
have taken a slice from that for to-
uato plants. have heightened the gar
den along the fence for other veeeta-
bles. and 1 have beets, radish, lettuce
carrots, parsnips. summer squash and
cucumber seed planted.
I shall keep track of what I pay out,
and then in the fall will report as

We shall not have trouble in get
ting. rid of vegetables as all are fond
of them.

Editor and all Corner Sisters:- I
want to tell you all what Moe time
we had at Club No. rs gathering, 1t
being our last meeting at the W. c.
7. U. hall this spring.
The morning being favorable, we
had large. gathering, and a grand
good time: .e.,....,.
We were sory there were none up
to visit US from Club No. O.. We miss
ed you all.
Tidy AddIy: Were sorry you were
on the sick list, this being the FIRST
gathering that you've not been with
US and we greatly missed you.
The Hostesses did hear their part in
were successful. There were several
songs by all, and solos by Biddy and
Aunty No. 1.
There were recitations by Seiinda,
Enoch Horton and Alfaretta; and a
letter from Diana.
There was large display of antique
articles, some articles nearly 200 years
old or even older.
The tables were decorated with the
bright daffodils and usual were
laden with good things. / could not
begin TO tell you the different things
which made us all have a rousing good
appetite; and 1 guess we all did jus
tice in testing all the goodies. Al any
rate, 1 for one did my part.
After the program was completed
they took a vote, whether we should
still continue having the gatherings II
everything proved favorable to US at
the hall next fail. beginning in No
vember; and there was an una nimous
vote in favor.
Nexs were plans for tho gatherings
to be h@gd at the Lake in June, and all
were in favor of having the dinner
ordered, of which, of course, notice
will be given later.
Sympathy was extended to all who
are on the sick list; and to those who
have had sadness in the loss of dear
friends by death In the past year
Hope to meet you all at the next
gathering. e.. f'

REST FOR WORKING WOMEN.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It Is OF
exceeding value to know how to rest.
Much discomfort results from eye
strain which not only produces head
ache but general discomfort.
Medical authorities assure us the
eye was not made for near. but for
far-sight and that its steady employ
Inent in reading, sewing, embroider-
ing, etc. in time sadly effects the
nerves, hence If they will close the
eyes for a few moments while occupied
at intervals they may save themselves
from afrliction and acquire much need
ed rest.
A physician says: Make trial of this
yourself. II your work is near vision
work. shut your eyes every little while.
You do not need to keep them shut
long. A few seconds at time-a
minute at the most-shou1d be enough.
Discofort so easily overcome ought
to be inviting to the afflicted.

sings like a. mocking bird. +
The chipping and field sparrows are
smaller, with no spots on breast; the
former has lines on head; the latter is
rufous and sings very sweetly.
The white throated and white CROWN
sparrows may be told by their names;
the fox sparrow is the larger, bright
rufous, streaks. and big spot on
breast.
The meadow lark is marked on the
back like sparrow; yellow with
black crescent on breast; shows white
tail feathers when II flies; frequents
fields; larger than a robin.
The turtle dove is a drnb coiored
wild pigeon; wings whistle when II
flies. The killdeer IS long legged and
