THINGS WORTH WHILE.

Dear Editor and Sisters: The fol- lowing are few suggestions worthy of mention:
 Cup Hooks: Many people who have cupboard do not remember that cup hooks can be bought. These should be screwed to the underside of the shelves and afford 8 splendid place to hang the cups, thus making more room for the other dishes.
 Keep couple of bottle brushes near the kitchen table. Use one for small lamp chimneys when washing them, and the other when washing small-neck jars and bottles. They are also fine for cleaning the spouts Of teapots and teakettles.
 The mother of boys knows how un- slightly the draw-strings used in blouses look when they show. which they always do But # she will sub stitute elastic, the same as she uses in her own blouses, she will find the result much cheaper.
 When tatting use a crochet hook in stead of a pin for joining and the work will be found to go much easier and quicker.
 When wood is badly dented or scratched it is often a problem to know how to get rid of the marks. This is quite easy. First of all, fold piece of plotting paper at least four times, then saturate with water, f1- naliy allowing the superfuous mois- iron until it is about the warmth re- quired for laundry work. Place the damp plotting paper over the dent and press firmly with the iron. As soon as the paper dries examine the mark. It will then be found that the cavity has filled up to a surprising ex- tent. When the dent is very deep a second or even a third application on the lines indi<2ted might be tried Sooner or lat>e even serious depres- sions car be dr~vn up. RepoliShins will clear away even the slight marks that might finally remain.

HOW THE CHURCH WAS CLEANED

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am going to tell the Sisters how we clean ed our church this fall and turned work into play, or, rather. into a ple' mic.
 We proved the ofd saying: Many hands make light work"
 We wondered how we were going to get our church cleaned, as help is scarce and every one busy these days. We decided to have each lady who cared to bring brushes, pails, soap. etc.; also each one bring some food cpe beans, another pie, cake. etc. A couple of the ladies were chosen com m:ttee to see what each one would bring, etc, and went in the morning and had a bountiful lunch at noon; and before night the church was spick and span and we all said what a good time we had If we were tired no one thought of it. Every one said what fun.
 I wish to thank Eliza Jane. Theoda- Remember Me. l.. H. K. Peggy Anne and Memory for remembering me so kindly on my birthday
 Remember Me: I heard you had a ride with one of my neighbors.
 Best wishes to all.

SOCIAL CORNER POEMS.
By William Herschel1.) )

CBy William HerschelL) Mother can't join the army and mother
 can't go to sea, But Mother can do her bit, you bet
 whatever her bit may be. She's up in the morning early, she's
 late to her bed at night. Yet she sings a song the whole day
 long that shows her full of fight. It's Columbia, Gem of the Ocean. that
 echoes through kitchen and hall. A melody sweet. yet as sturdy as though 'twere a -bugle call. She starts the children off to school,
 a flag upon each breast, A symbol sweet, she tells them, of
 the land they love the best, Then Mother gets her housework done
 and hurries off to town, There to do a weman's part in Red
 Cross cap and gown. And all along the table where the
 bandags makers sit They hear her hum Columbia and see
 her do her bit. .A Mother can't join the. army and Moth
 CT can't go to sea, But Mother can do her bit, you bet whatever her bit may be. She doesn't go round complaining be-
 cause she isn't a man. Instead she SewS and sings and hoes
 and does the best she can, For Columbia, too, was a woman, as
 pictured in story and art, And Mothers our Mother Columbia
 a patriot doing her part!

A TIMELY, SUGGESTION.

Dear Cornerites:-It is sometime since I have written, but I have not lost my interest. have attended four of the gatherings this summer ano. felt we'll paid for going.
 We are soon to meet in w. c. T. U. hall and as one of the Sisters, I should like toS suggest eff I may), that we make our days at the hall this win ter, days of profit as well as pleasure. Many have loved ones somewhere in France" could we not make the days Red Cross days? Bring our knitting and any work that can be done by hand, and in this way be doing our bit.
 hope you will pardon me if I say in these days it would be. better if the table was not filled with so many good things to eat. unless we could turn over what remains to the asDt'. Now. dear Sister. you who know me. can vouch for the fact that this would be as much a sacrifice for me as any ore; but l. really wish we could, some way have d. less bountifui spread.
 Yours for the good of The Corner.

AvAcATIoN IN OCTOBER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: For sev- eral years have planned to visit some relatives of my father whom I had not seen since my school girl days, but something has always prevented until l begin to fear the death angel might make his visit first as one of them is over 80 years old, and both are feeble, so one Friday morning I, with the small boy who keeps close watch of mamma took the train for WilliInan- tic. The train was late but the con- ductor hoped to connect with my train to Clark's Corners, as there on time.
 FusG-a-Budget was half some-sick because he must Ego right by auntfe without stopping" but she met us un- expectedly on the train on her way to Franklin and soon after the train freight, and finally got to Wiflimantic at about the time we should have fin- ished our journey at the Corners.
 o,,na I left my my, baggags age with the ,pleasant walked around the Thread City until noon; got a dinner at a neat little lunch room and finally went back to the depot after sending cards home. Books and two bright girls helped the time to pass, but the, train at about 23O p. m. was welcome, and a short journey through genuine country brought us to the little station of CldrK'S corners.
 I followed the agsnts directions over a mile of turns and hills to be met with {. warm welcome by the friends who had given us up hours before. E The house must have been almost a mansion in it's prime and there are ruins of numerous farm buildings. There are nine rooms beside closets, Palls, store rooms ,etc.: the paper in some of the rooms still shows the heavy gilt tracing of the fashion of years ago.
 Sunday noon was at the station for the 12.58 train i(the latest that would tring me home for school ,1onday) and I waited until 1.30 before the train came. Then we passed more real coun- try. young timber and farms. the fine Pomfret station-and then Putnam.
 Here we called on other relatives and finally took the belated 530 car for home which we reached a little after o'clock.
 I enjoyed every hour; the bright foliage, visits with friends, the two little cities and the old-time farm house that spoke of the past.
 How many little trips we miss by waiting until we can take an expen- sive journey. If we wait for just what we would like we miss what we could have. ETTA BARBER.

RULES OF LIVING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The fol- lowing are Thomas Jefferson's ten rules of living:
 Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
 2-Never spend your money before you have it.
 3-Never trouble others for what you can do yourself.
 4-Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap.
 5rRemember that pride costs us more than thirst, hunger, or cold. Gone never repents of having eat en too little. 7Nothing is ever troublesome that we do willingly.
 S-The most pain comes from those evils that never happen except in our ina gina tions.
 9-Take things always by their smooth handles.
 10-When angry count ten before you speak; when very angry count a hundred.
 I think these rules are worth fol- lowing.

ether to take out grease, wetting thor onghfy and then rubbing rapidly and lightly, round and round, so as not to leave a ring. Put a Turkish towel un- der the goods, as that will absorb the grease that goes through to the wrong side while cleaning.
 To Clean Upholstered Furniture: After rounding the dust well out of the furniture. try this plan: Make a paste of water and fullers earth, ior if the tapestry is spotted with grease use turpentine instead of water Spread over the cloth and let remain for four or five days; then brush off. Try one piece. first and see how it comes out. Tapestry if worn cannot be restored to it's original state. To Clean Broadeioth Spats: Make a paste of fuller's earth and water cover the spats and put them away for several days. White spats if not too discolored can be wonderfully freshened up by the rubbing in Eng fish magnesia.

 Miss Austin and Mrs. .Edson,s our missionaries, could reach those whom they know to be deserving. Perhaps we could have enough small boxes. so that each mother could take home a taste of the goodies. or a small col lection would finish the afternoon for them with a visit to the movies. - l know every one is doing their bit for Uncle Sam; but I am sure we should all feel happier at the, end ot the pleasant day, than to have SC much ourselves, and the cost would be no more. .- !
 These are mere suggestions which if approved of. can be talked over and improved upon at some of our meetings. What do you say Sisters?

Dear Social Corner Writers:-I was very much interested in Great Grand mas letter on Slang" It seems a great pity that so much is allowed to be used in conversation and printed in books that are expected to be read by all classes.
 If all parents would be as wise in giving object lessons to their chill dren as the minister that Great Grandma wrote about was to teach his daughter how the words she spoke less slang used.
