SURE CURE FOR NEURALGIA.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-I cer- tainly should have loved to have at tended the picnic on May 9th. I have a number of relics over 100 years old, among them my grandnother's sam pier, and a receipt given by the Rap tist church of Pompey for rent of 8 body of pew No. to Joseph Everits, for S40.00; also some old deeds over one hundred years old of land in Guilford. Old papers in which the S's are made like f's. All very precious to me I hope the Sisters and Broth CTS. too, will try this recipe for neu- raligia. I have used it on hubby when everything else failed.
 Cure for Neuralgia Half cover thin cloth with flour, then dust gin ger Hberally over the flour. fold the cloth over, thoroughly dampen with whiskey, and pin on. with the gin ger side next to the face. This Is a simple but effective remedy.
 Best wishes.

THE YELLOW WARBLER.

Social Corner Editor:-Your read CTS who enjoy the presence and songs of birds may be interested in the vel low warbler, or the little yellow ham n1er, as this bird is called in Northern ssachusetts. As I entered my gate toward evening on the zend one flew to the mock orange bush and trilled as if he was glad to see me.
 He reminded me that many years ago I saw the nest of one of these warblers in a honeysuckle not a foot from my elbow as I rang the door bell to summon a friend I was about to call on. The female was sitting on the nest and showed no sign of alarm, and he told me this little beauty nest ed there every year.
 The yellow warbler Is a social bird like the goldf1nch and the robin and likes to hover about where human be- ings work or rusticate in the open.

HOW PRACTICAL POLLY GAR
 DENIED,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: So much is said at the present time about backyard gardens, will tell you of my first experience in that line last summer.
 I had a small spot that I had used for flowers, but thought how fine it would be to have fresh cucumbers and tomatoes in my own yard. l had the ground put in order, and a good gent erous amount of fertilizer applied. thought "if a little was good, whole lot would be better" A friend gave me eight stocky tomato plants and cucumber seed of her own raising In time they were all nicely started. My! How those tomato plants did grow You could almost see them grow. In- stead of Jack and the beanstalk it was Jill and the tomato vine. I am not very tall, but soon the tomato vines were nearly as high as my head, and I began to think if they kept on might need a step-ladder to- harvest handles and patiently waited. Just be- fore our first frost in the fall I har- vested my entire crop, four little green 1 ones about as large as walnuts. | After little my cucumber vines did not look just right, either Someone said, look out for cutworms. One morning I found one plant cut of neatly close to the ground. Digging dispatc him.
 Another kind adviser told me bugs
 did more harm than anything else, SC l hea aring that soot was good to keel | them away. I gave the remaining
 plants a good coating. I guess they never found them, for after a little ]
 had hard work to find any trace ot l them myself; and the only result from my eight cucumber hills was one lit
 tie one which clung to life until it wal
 about at inch lcng. then dropped off After it was all over the wise one:
 said too much fertilizer The to-
 mato plants all went to vines, that should have nipped out the ends tC
 make them branch out: and that i
 was a poor year for cucumbers any | way.
 My neighbors have had many joke
 about my failure. but I am going t
 try it again this spring.
 My garden" has been enlarged. fiji teen by twenty feet. and I shall tr, 1 again cucumbers and tomatoes, wit Swiss chard, beets. beans and radishes 1 Each one is asked to do their share il planting, so I am bound to plant am try and profit from my last years ex perience.

THANKS AND WORDS OF sYMPA
 THY,

Dear Corner Sisters: I have had a prolonged birthday for have received a number of cards since the 7th, and few since I wrote last. I thank one and all for their kindly thought of me. I am afraid a few of the cards have got put away with the others and I cannot tell those for which I have thanked from the others: and fear I arate them; but I thank each one, even if I omit to mention your names.
 Saturday Eve: Your stamps will be useful for one must put them on let ters and Uncle Sam IS asking for a higher rate. Although I am sorry that one must pay another cent to mail a letter I am loyal to my country.
 Aunt Mary: The sentiment express ed in your greeting was beautiful; but I fear my life will come far short of it.
 Dom Pedro: Glad to hear from you and I thank you for your kind wishes.
 Princess Pat: Surely I thought of you not only when I read your greet ing but very many times since.
 You Sisters surely not only made me happy on that day, but for many more days extend a hand of well come to all the new Sisters. We are indeed large and happy family.
 I send my sympathy to all of you who are sick and to those who have heen called to part with dear ones. For the IOIH1Sr l WiSn that you VIII SOOH be well and strong, and to the latter I would say cling hard to the Fathers hand and you will be given strength, not alone for the hard and trying days, but to enable you to take up the threads of life once more.
 Today is really our first warm day, to be followed by others I hope, 01 vegetation has been at a standstill, and now one can take pleasure in sec ing the crops grow and to watch na- ture as she adorns herself in her spring and summer attire.
 Much love and best wishes to each member of our family

DON'T LIKE THEM FOLKS.

Dear Social Cornerites:-I some times think if we could only moult and cast our dislikes-(our prejudices) once a year, as birds cast their old feathers. it would be a good thing. 'I ain't got nothin' agin them peo- ple," I heard some say, but I don't like 'em Here is a barrier set up against civility and good neighbors without any affirmed cause. This Is the way most dislikes are born and continuously cherished.
 We do not like the looks. or the style, or the sentiments or the man ners of certain people and feel free to let them know it. We purposely evade them. We proceed to hurt ourselves more than we can possibly hurt them We get sour when we should keep sweet.
 This doesn't look very kind, or sen sible, or ennobling to

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Mems discarded soft shirts can be very con- veuiently made over into little dresses for babies. The shirts seem to wear out at the cuffs or neckband before the body of the garment shows any signs of wear or even becomes faded. One year old dress patterns just fit com fortably on to the shirt-the front of the dress to the back of the shirt. and vice versa, and, best of all, oftentimes the original buttons and buttonholes are as neatly paced after the trans formation as before. Shirts of pongee or similar light, soft material and plain or of conservative pattern are, of course, most suitable.

A LOSS TO THE CORNER,

The Social Corner Editor: cannot express my thoughts at this time as I think of the great loss to The Social Corner of that faithful member, Aunt Abby, for 1t was many a word of cheer and helpfuiness came from her to me.
 Not now, but in the coming years. I believe we shall understand shall always cherish the words of my old pastor whom God called higher. The Christians best days are before him. I think as a. Corner we should draft resolutions. or in some fitting way try and express our appreciation and sympathy.

COMBINATIONS OF TERMINALS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few Combinations of PerenniaIs: A planting of delicate pink holly hooks, in front of which we place a good clump of white phlox, ie to be much commended. Similarly, the phlox will combine nicely with delphinuim. A bed of peonies in which have been planted some liliumspeciosum rubrum and album is good; the peontes will have finished Towering before the lilies begin
 Huge beds of German iris of one variety are shown By themselves; but since they are out of bloom before July 1st, it is well to have something to maintain the beauty. A few attrac- tive shrubs are then useful. Especial ly decorative are viburnum opolus, or some of the honeysuckles with their berries.

And if 11nlzindly harm I've given. Forgive me" and I'll be forgiven. On a golden ring these keys I'll bind, This is it's motto, Be ye kind. f-u often use each golden key, And then a child polite I'll be; Hearts like doors open with ease With very, very little keys.
