THINGS TO TRY.
SLIM JIM.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Perhaps you would like to try this crocheted necktie- Ch 1. thread over, insert hook in the chaiA5titch and draw thread through, thread over and insert hook again in the chainstitch draw thread through. Now draw thread through the five loops that are on the hook and make a chainstitch. Proceed as before. Finish off ends with chochet- ed balls or tassels. Use mercerized cotton coarse as twine.
 To make a very pretty knit bon net cast on 35 stitches and knit plain for 70 rows or enough to go over the baby's head. Use No. amber needles. Then take up all the stitches (70) on the edge to be used around the face on fine steel needles, knit rows in white, in blue and joined the white to cast off with. Double the work over and sew up the back Take up the 70 stitches on the bottom as you did the front and finish off the sar1e. This makes a little point but is very pretty.
 I am now making one in brushed wool and will trim around the edge with swansdown. Do you understand my directions2 It is like a scarf in making, but to shape the bonnet sim ply double over to make a seam up the back

WRENkLES' THANKSGIVING DEC
 ORATIONS

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I want to thank all the Sisters of The Corner for the lovely cluster of chrys- anthemums I received from them. To say was delighted does not begin to express what they meant to me. and now I have them for my Thanksgiving decorations, as they are fine yet Now isn't this great?
 And then the postcards from Aunty No. and Huldah and others It is not very pleasant to be laid aside from cur usual avocations and enjoyments, but we are it is certainly a great help and satisfaction to receive such tokcc s Of remembrance and realize that all though absent we are not forgotten ] l am glad to say that I am on the gain and certainly hope I shall have the pleasure of being at the next meeting.
 I think with others that the Social Corner is all right as it is, with all the calls on our time and strength, as well as our pocketbook It seems to me it is well. to have one place where we can forget work and just have d good time like children. let out of school! So let. us come together and be as jolly as possible
 I send sentiment which may not be very good poetry but which I think all the Sisters will subscribe to: The summer is over and past The wintry winds are due;
 But, oh! long may they stay in their
 native home
 And pipe to the Eskimo. WRINKLE.

FOOD TO FIT THE TIMES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These are suggestions for meeting present food conservation requirements:
 New England Fish Hash: Soak half an hour enough salt cod to make two cups and boil five minutes. Mix one cup of mashed potatoes, half a cup of chopped beetS, piece of butter, and milk enough to moisten. Fry brown on both sides Send to the table with melted butter to which has been added a teaspoon of finely chopped beets. An Economical Sunday Night Sup per: 1t consisted of tuna fish salad and apple jelly, of coarse bread and head of celery for dinner. The leaves with the fish and home made cream dressing made as nice a salad as could be desired. The jelly was made a tumbler at a time when was making pies or sauce, but made, of course, be- fore the sugar shortage.
 Apple Tapioca: Pick over and wash three quarters of cup of pearl tapio- ca; pour one quart boiling water over it: cook in a double boiler until trans parent: stir often and add one-haf teaspoon of salt: core and pare seven applesi put them in round baking dish and fill the cores with sugar and lemon juice; pour the tapioca over them and bake till apples are very soft. Serve hot or cold, with sugar and cream. A delicious variation bay be made by using half pears or can- ned quinces and half apples;
 What do the sisters have for dessert during the sugar shortage? have had for dinner baked sweet potatoes sliced and baked bananas: for supper, g1n- gerbread, plain; molasses cakes, made iii my gem pans; gingerbread with with plenty of mixed spice in it

ing a spy, and they give me all their confidence and hand over all the SUD- plies to me and l pass them on to someone else and then you are to go
 and take them away to the right par ties. you understand all about that, don't you?" The man nodded again. 'It is very plain and very-easy. You will find a car waiting to take the
 supplies, and you are to go eight miles
 north of here. by following the road | that turns by the watering trough, al the center. then turn and continue for two and a half miles and you will come to an old house with all the win dows out. I have put a sign up that l it is for sale. so you will be sure to go to the right one. Now. you are to go there right from here.
 "A man will be standing near the watering trough and will go with you l to the house and he will give you fur ther directions. The car is in the shed behind the house, but you are to stay there until early in the morning be- | fore you leave as I have got to send some more supplies that are to be ! brought to me at half-past seven to- night. They always bring them by 1 that time as I go to bed early. T have two hired men that go to bed by quarter to eight we get up at three every morning. They ought | to be here any minute now, so I'N hurry and get a lunch for you and the other man that you will find waiting
 for you. l don't want you to be hun gry"
 You needn't bother about that lunch, lady, I'm not the least bit hun gry. Guess I'd better be goin' so they won't get wise to me, and I don't want | to get you in Dutch neither" He was | at the door before she had time to answer him.
 Well, all right then, we do have to 1 be so careful. but be sure and do just as I told you" And he went quicker than he came.
 "Batty as a loon," he muttered as he ampled off down the hill, watching | out for the two hired men that he ex- pected would loom up before him ere he could get out of the house. Maria locked the door securely, bolt ed it and gave great sigh. Then she looked into the mirror. Maria Tin ker, how did you ever do it?" He must have been burglar and he look cd as though he wanted everything in the house except me-
 The next day she contributed to the local paper the following:

Serve with milk

apples are tender. Serve with milk and sugar.
 Carrot Mineemeat-I wanted to make green tomatoes as substitute for meat, so used carrots instead and found them far superior to anything I have ever tried. Here is my recipe: Steam two pounds of carrots, then chop fine. Add two quarts of apples, chopped in medium sized pieces, one pound of seeded raisins, one pound of seedless raisins. These take tie place of entrants. Add one-half pound ofcitron, one pound of brown sugar, one cup molasses. two lemons, grated rind. also juice. Use cider to three level teaspoons of all kinds of spice except ginger. Add two teaspoons of ginger. Put sugar, Eolasses and spice together, mix well with carrots and let stand three days before using This is excellent. We like it better than uincemeat made with meat.
 Goldfish Loaf: Equal quantities of fish and potatoes prepared as for cakes. Season and form into a loaf, put into a well-greased pan, sprinkle with bread crumbs, pour a little melt ed butter or salt pork drippings over top. bake moderately until a nice brown. Slip onto a platter and pour over a tomato sauce. I use tomato soup and it is delicious. Do not thin It, of course. cream sauce may be used. This tastes much like codfish cakes and is more digestabIe I am not an advocate of fried foods in any form.
 MERRY MAY.

USEFUL HINTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are some handy hints:
 When hanging out clothes in cold weather, pin laces, handkerchiefs and all small, fine articles on a sheet with common pins This will save cold fingers and also danger of tearing them taking from line in freezing weather.
 When keeping the yoIixs of eggs for a day or two, drop them in a little cold water. It will prevent hardening. To cut new bread try using a knife which has been dipped :n very hot wa ter
 Try a mashed banana beaten with the white of an egg as substitute for cream
 Alum melted and used while hot is splendid to mend broken dishes.
 Remove fresh coffee stains by pour Gg boiling water through the lab ric-
 A little salt rubbed on earthenware pudding dishes will take away brown spots
 Polish mirrors with a cloth soaked in alcohol, followed by a soft, dry cloth Surprising results
 To clean enamel ware rub well with dry salt and rinse in cold water, then wipe dry with a piece of cloth.
 MOUNTAIN LAUREL.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-12-01

Dear Social Corner Sisters:s "A stitch in time saves nine. To harn well takes time" How often we hear, that old proverb repeated and yet some do not hear it enough for if they did they would take more notice of its meaning
 When the holes in hoisery have reached the point where repairing a single pair will take ones attention for a full hour, is it not time thrown away to spend that hour in trying to prolong, for two or three more wear ings, the life of the worn articles ? One could make a plain garment of new material in the time spent in mending a couple of such garments. The sensible housewife is the one who puts by the tattered stockings and socks for other uses and consid- CTS it money economically expended to buy fresh supply for her family's feet.
 An old black sock or stocking is the very best thing to when one is sponging off a garment of dark wool en goods with any clearing fluid. There is no line from it and 1t is ab- sorbent and soft. A supply of them should always be on hand
 With best wishes.

A CORRECTION.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: If any of you read over the cake recipe sent last week you will surely think am trying to conserve food. Am very sor- " that left out one half cup of short ening. l use crisco; think it as good as butter, if a little salt is added to 1t before cooking.
 Let us all count our blessings one by one which we have received the past year and We shalE realize more fully how much we have had to be thank full for, even though in many homes there are empty chairs and sad hearts, we can praise God that thus far our homes and all that we loved have ncc been taken from us, as has been the case of many families across the water.
 May we all with one accord feel in our hearts to truly praise God, from whom all blessings flow" and try each day to make others happier for our having lived, then our hearts will be filled with joy and peace. AUNT MARX
