GREETINGS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters-Having had the blues all day, thought I would drive them away by writing a letter to the Social Corner Sisters. Daisy of Canterbury: As I heard you and Sisters Clara and Farmers 8 Daughter had been visiting on r SIS Hill a short time ago. was surprised to think that you met R H." down town and did not notice her penname on that little pin of hers worn on her coat.
 Clara of Canterbury: You have not looked hard.
 Oleander. Am sorry you had to remind me to write, but as 1 see it drives away the blues will try and write more often.
 Would like to hear from Married ard Happy.
 Crimson Rambler: Your dcugl.nut recipe is fine. But tell your mother have never forgot the pumpkin pie ate at her home when I was a little girl and would like the recipe, as can taste it now.
 Was very sorry I could not attend the picnics at Aunty No. 1; also the one this past Wednesday. the 11th.

OLDEN TIME RECIPES.

Sisters of the Social Corner: - l have been looking over my old cook books today and one of them entitled New York Cook Book" was very contains several recipes which may interest you.
 Plum Pudding-If you wish to make a pudding in which every one delights, of six pretty new laid eggs you must take the yollls and whites; beat them all up well together, till they thor oughly. combine; and be sure you chop the suet particularly fine: take a pound of well stoned raisins and a pound of entrants dried; pound of beside; beat them all up well together with a pound of wheaton flour, and let them stand to settle for a quarter of an hour; then tie the mixture in a cloth and put 1t in the pot: some peo- pie like the water cold, and some pre- fer it hot. I don't know which Of these two things I ought to praise, but know it ought to boil an hour for every pound it weighs.
 Potato Yeast-Three good potatoes nicely scraped of common size will do. a quart of boiling water add, to cook completely through; of sugar use just half cup, one tablespoon of salt, and that is all, though believe the bakers enc cup yeast, if such you have;' if not, take one-half cake of compress ed; in grocery stores 'tis bought; let this remain where it will be warm till it will rise no more; in jars of glass then put away upon the cellar floor.
 The birthday cards were not intend ed for me, for my birthday comes in the spring. What a real help 1t would be if some Sister would send in lot of dates of all the birthdays. I have always intended to Go this myself, but there are so many writers now, that will leave it for some younger Sis ter.
 Best wishes to you all.

KITTY LOU SIGHT SEEING.

l Dear Social Corner Sisters: My lit i tie trip to Staten Island is rather amusing as thefe are several incidents l which to me seemed humorous. 1 It was a delightful day, one of those l days when the trees are beginning to 1 shed their leaves and everything looks 1 br1sht except the lawns and the ver- l anda flower boxes. The wire fences l furniture was eliminated, also the vas es were being taken in. The potted plants looked as if Jack Frost had ] nipped them.
 1 I left Norwich about 7so a. m. and | arrived in New York about II, and I think it was about ? o'clock when I arrived in Brooklyn. Why, I am rot certain about the time, I looked | it had gone (the way of the flowers piazza furniture, etc.). Someone had removed 1t from my belt.
 We'll, I thought I would visit the Eden Musee the next day as they 1old Inc there were numerous figures there made up in wax that looked perfectly ratural, also curiosities. Ao was very much pleased with the idea of being able to take in so many sights in a short time. I found the building in a little while as I did a number with the same bump of curiosity as myself After entering the door looked vain ly around in search for a neutral face to which I might address an inquiry about "The Chamber of Horrors"
 At last I saw a quiet-looking man with Q Bulletin in his hand. He at- tracted my eye. He was dressed in a sober suit of brown and wore a pe- tersham top coat: as he stood up there he had an inquisitive sort Of air. and his appearance would remind you of a man who had good common sense as his dress was not loud. His hat was decent but evidently not his best; a folded cravat wisely protected his throat and one thing I noticed more than the rest of his makeup was a pair of doeskin caps buttoned over his knees. l learned afterward that peo- pie wore them to defend these essen tial hinges from contracting rheuma- tism in their knees
 I walked leisurely toward him and said Beg pardon. but are there any policemen around here?'
 He did not reply There were sev- eral standing near me pretending to be in a very animated discussion, but noticed they were also somewhat cu- rious as to what I was about to do and imagine how amazed I was when informed it was one of those wax fig ures.
 "Never!T said I, and I strode up and pinched him.
 That would have been all right had stopped there, but 8 little farther saw a policeman sitting down reading a paper and I went over to look at the figure and was very near him, II thought everything about appearance made certain he was a wax figure, and stood still admiring him, wEen he rose right up and walked away
 could not tell the imitation men from the real and was very careful how I governed myself after that

HEZ GETS PATRIOTIC.

You may all have noticed when a married man gets his lander up he has to get it down again, or white winged peace will not dwell in the family. So I ca]med down and regu- la ted myself as all family men should
 The next day my patriotic feelings got to cavorting and I says: Hope, I've been thinking would buy a Lib erty bond to help Uncle Sam out. Don't you think I ought to subscribe and put down $2 for a $50 Liberty bond %
 "Hez," says she, you are a we'll meaning man, but your thinker is a short distance affair. Where do yop expect to get the other 48?"
 T thought you and I might get it together' said I, flor you're attend ing the food conservation lectures and these wel1-to-do women will tell you how we can eat less and save more to help Uncle Sam"
 'Yes," said she, "a f1nancier told us to wear our old bonnets this winter to save money, and you said that was a poor way to knock out trade and ex- pect to raise revenue. Why don't the patriot cut out smoking? Hez, you do say something sensible sort of acci- dentally now and then!'
 Then you will not help says I.
 T think we better talk it over," says she. ''We have got two weeks to decide. I think we better discuss 1t further. We mustn't do things in haste to repent at leisure"
 I've been repenting at leisure more'n half my time, now" said I.

DO YOU KNOW THIS?

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: These suggestions may be a help to SCIne of you:
 When bacon is good and sweet the lean is firm and red. and the fat quite white.
 Strong ammonia water is excellent for removing iodine stains from the skin.
 Sliced raw potato can be baked in stead of fried, if put in a hot oven, and they will be crisp and nice.
 You can always have fresh mint in your house by growing it in water.
 If salt is added to flour for thick cning gravies. it helps to keep it from Jumping.
 Take plants out of the ground and place in boxes, close together, with earth shaken in to cover the roots and about half fill box. Place boxes in cool part of cellar and water about once in a fortnight. Leaves will drop off but in the spring set them out and they will live and blossom freely. Ge- ranfums require lots of sun when growing.

It was very kind of them and I appreciate t;satr thouxht f',lness. I am gaining slowly and by the time this letter reaches the Sisters I shall hope to be downstairs again.
 While I was in exile. I had plenty of time for pleasant memories of the summer, visiting and entertaining friends, and of two restful weeks at the shore. One of the dear Corner Sisters was there. also: and we spent many delightful hours on the rocks. watching the grand old ocean, and the gorgeous sunsets over it. No artist could do justice to the scene. It seemed as if tho Masters hand had thrown a bewildering mass of all col ors of the rainbow, upon the sky, shading and tlnting all with a golden glow from dazzling golden ball, sus- pended above. Then a rippling path of red. tinted also by gold spread out over the water, directly at our feet, as though some invisible hand was beckoning us to follow on after tht

 Another beautiful picture was given us one night, while we were waiting On the rocks for the sunset and watch ing a group of sailor lads with their lassieS having a merry time over a picnic lunch. There was a low rumb- ling sound overhead, and the young folks uttered dismayed exclamations and gathered Up their belongings and then scurried to the autobus and were soon on their way to home and safety.
