A NICE CAKE AND PUDDING.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Those of you who like new recipes may find these palatable:
 Fig Pudding-Soak two cups of fine bread crumbs in two scant cups of milk, add three eggs beaten lightly with half a cup of sugar, half a tea spoon of salt. half a cup of finely minced beef suet, pinch of baking soda dissolved in a little hot water and half a pound of shredded figs. Beat the mixture for three or four minutes, turn into a greased mould with a wa tertight cover and place on a rack in 8 kettle of boiling water. Set a weight on top of the cover to prevent the mould from. upsetting and boil steadily for three hours. Serve with a liquid or hard sauce, favored with lemon and nutmeg.
 lcebox Cake-Three dozen lady fin- fers, half pound of unsalted butter, one cup of sugar, two eggs, one lemon, a half pint of whipped cream. Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs and cream again, then stir in the grated rtnd of the lemon and the juice, and cream all together. Place a layer of lady fingers in square pan or dish, spread with the foregoing filling, then another. layer of lady fingers, covered with the filling. Place in the ice chest for at least 24 hours. Whip the cream and pour over the top when ready to serve the dish.

Grows in the rich woods. It is said to closely resemble the Tong purples" O mascula, which grows near the scene of Ophelia's death.
 The Purple Frinsed Orchid-Leaves oval or oblong; the upper few passing into leaner bracts, flowers purple; rather large with fan-shaped, three parted lip: it's divisions fringed.
 We should search the wet meadows and brooksides for these dainty pur- pie spikes.
 Adder's Mouth-Six to nine inches long; flower pale pink, sometimes white. sweet scented; one inch long; lip bearded and fringed. Its blossom has been described as peach blossom red. The plant is found blossoring gons and sudews-
 flowers, two to six on each scape purple pink: about one inch broad; the lip is hinged at it's insertion; bearded toward the summit, with white, yellow and purple hairs. In the bogs side by side with the glistening Sundew, and the delicate Adder's mouth one finds these beautiful flow CTS.
 White Frnsed orehis-About one foot high, leaves oblong or lance shaped; flowers pure white: with a slender spur and fringed lip. This seems to me the most exquisite of our native orchids. The fringed lips give the snowy, delicate flowers a feath- the shadowy woods of midsummer.
 Next time I will tell your of some of our more common flowers.

NORTH DAKOTA THINKS OF
 HOME.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-It makes me feel lonely to read of your gatherings and excursions. I can see just how the lovely Coventry Lake" as we used to call it, looked in the summer. I wish I could join you, but since I cannot, am glad that the So- ciaI Corner will tell me about your outing.
 I would like to tell you this; if there is something you would like to have me join, please be sure to write three weeks ahead or month in win ter. Last winter sister invited me to join in sending a birthday token, and I should have been glad to do so, but the letter did not reach me until after the birthday. I live fourteen miles from the postoffice and railroad, and mail from even nearby points was held up by snow blockades last win ter At one time, had fourteen dail- ies at once. Just think of having to catch up' with the news of fourteen days at once. It makes one realize how Robinson Crusoe must have felt.
 I wish each of the Sisters would tell her birthday, then those who can find time can send her a card. I will state, in this connection, that my birthday anniversary is July 29. day?
 Of course, the war casts its shadow here, even as it has with you Twelve have enlisted from our neighborhood of less than twenty-five families, and more will go soon, without waiting for draft. Life moves on about the same here as 1t does with you, so very far away.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are two seasonable recipes:
 Sun-Preserved Strawberries - Slect large red ones, hull, add an equal weight of sugar, spread on large dish, cover with glass and set in the hot sun. Bring them in about o'clock and put out again next morning.

JOHNNY CAKES AND DOUGH
 NUTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-Some of you seem interested in cooking cornmea1, so I am going to add few suggestions. This is my way of making
 Johnny Cakes on the griddle-Take the required amount of cornmeal and salt. Be sure the water is boiling and the meal warm, if it isn't the water will cool instead of scalding the meal. Use water so it will not be too stiff, and after letting it stand a short time thin with sweet milk to the consis- tency of stiff cake batter. Drop on a hot griddle and brown nicely on both sides.
 Brown Bread-Two cups each of corn meal, flour and sour milk, 1-2 spoon soda Mix we'll and steam four or five hours at least. If you have a fire, steam all day. Place in a hot oven a short time.
 When you are tired of trying these, here is something you never tire of, either to make, or eat.
 Raised Doughnuts-Some afternoon stir l yeast cake into a batter and let rise At night take cups warm milk. l cup sugar, salt and the yeast. little stiffer tha ncake. Let rise in a warm place over night, in the morning add 1 egg, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons shortening, 1-2 teaspoon meg to taste and flour enough to knead like bread. Let rise again, when light cut out and place on a board. When raised enough fry in not too hot fat as they will brown very quickly. Do not let them get too light or they will fall by hand ling. This amount makes two pans full, but will not last long unless they are closely hidden.

Aunt Sally was plain to ugliness, too ignorant to read or write her own name and she sometimes took sip too much" but for more than fifty years she had been nurse, doctor. newspaper and handy woman Of all trades for miles around.
 visit from the stork created no anxiety if Aunt Sally was on hand; if there was measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid, or even small hope of recovery; she was always on hand for funerals and weddings; no family could move without her help and no house was properly cleaned until she had inspected it.
 Every mother welcomed her help in for she could rip up. cut over, and press old garments to look like new, and she never "tattled'

 Sometimes she received clothing or household articles from the estates of those who had passed away; some occasions small sums of money. She was always satisfied with her recom- pense and ready to go again when needed.

TWO LITTLE SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Since the spectators are pinching the country out of a. million a week we are all forced to pinch about every thing in the kitchen we are not forced to omit.
 Since milk increased in price have found it an advantage from an econ omic standpoint, to use evaporated milk (not condensed in the follow ing manner:
 To one can of evaporated milk. cost ing 12 cents, add one and one-half quarts of boiling water, stirring it in slowly. Then add two level tea spoons of sugar and one level tea spoon of salt. When cool use as fresh milk. It is richer and will keep long CT
 This is the way to make a delicious pudding quick: Three crackers roll ed fine, pine of milk yoke of two eggs, not quite one-half cup of sugar, bit of butter pinch of salt, nutmeg and raisins if liked. Bake twenty min utes. Frost top with egg whites, and brown.
 With crackers at IS cents a pound and eggs st 45 cents a dozen with a prospect of being 50 cents, this is not as cheap as it was once, but it is still comparatively in the economical class.
