ONCE IN A WHILE.

It is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one
 who will smile
 When everything goes wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And 1t always comes with the
 years. And the smile that is worth the praises
 of earth Is the smile that shines through
 tears. It is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray, When without or within no voice of
 sin
 Is turing your soul away. But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by fire. And the life that is worth the honor
 of earth
 Is the one that resists desire. By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, Who had no strength for the strife, The worlds highway is cumbered to- They make up the item of life. But the virtue that conQuers passion, And the sorrow that hides in a
 smile It is these that are worth the homage of earth, For we find them but once in a
 while.

NOT WORTH A PIN.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: We are accustomed to look upon a. pin as vafueless and the saying Not Worth pin" is common, among us; suited our great-grandmothers They knew the worth of pin.
 heard of a woman going crazy be- cause she could not find out where her D ns went to. I have begun to be care f2l of my pins as that is one thing I think would be asAhard to give up as salt. 4.fg ; s3
 There was time when English la- dies were glad to have a pin given them for a present for New Years gift; they were so expensive.
 z They tell me that was tfe reason why sum of money was settled on the English ladies' atstheir marriage for the toilet called spin money" They Gid not seem to care about the point sovering the affections did they?
 Today pins are made by machinery "a noisy, ratthng.. snapping little ma chine turns out 300 pins every minute while 50 years 5agaF itztook 20 people to make one pIH-one to draw out the wire one to- straightcn it, third to cut it, fourth to point 1t. etc., until it was finished.
 When one thinks of thesway the wire is thrust into the machine and de- voured by the little monster-drawn travels on to be enf aasn d pin $ length is pushed in. and held fast by a nipper-then it is snapped and left pin length with a. neat little head; then it slides into tray. where it is held by the head, as it dangles there the blunt end is, sharpened by a re-
 volving steel roller. As each pin is pointed it is whitened and brigntened in order to be- described Clean as a new pin" Think of this when you use the expression Not worth a pin." 1-tl fi3
 It is the same with "pinkers." They used to be a little steel scalNp with a handle called pinking iron, to be pounded; now I have machine that pInks 20 yards in five minutes or less, and only cost $5. Everything" is ad- vancing, even the making of pin or tha cutting of scallop. 2.

NICE SUPPER DISHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The fol- lowing are few nice dishes for sup persin winter: Z .s-s- 7,SsS y-s
 Tomatoes and Toast-Bring one quart of canned tomatoes to a boil. Season with one cup of sugar, one teaspoon salt and a tablespoon butter. Into this put as many slices of nicely toasted bread asg there are people to be. served. E. Let boil zip once and serve in individual dishee. Tomatoes canned at home are the best. ys@ - Oxtail SouP-Oxtail soup thickened with rice, with a little touch of kitch- en. bouquet in it, makes a fine supper dish. The oxtaiI costs about seven cents and rice is inexpensive. Put the tail on to cook in cold water, cover closely and cook several hours before adding the rice. f - |
 The following is a hearty dish for supper Place a slice of smoked ham one inch thick and weighing about Ia pound in a baking pan Cover with two cups of milk, bake slowly. .basting frequently and turning once or twice until the ham is tender and has ab- sorbed all the milk and is Drowned on top. This will take about one and a half hours. .s Serve hot with potafo balls, which are simply mashed pota- toes with a littlel onion grated in, md moulded in flat cakes and fried until brown. Sometimes make thick sauce in. the baking pan, and serve with plain boiled potatoes instead. 's'

CROCHET EDGlNGS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: In our Corner page Farmers Daughter was asking for some crochet lace patterns. I hope these patterns will be of use original ones and I use them on col lars, cuffs and handkerchiefs I cro cnet these edgings right into the ma . terial after drawing a thread It isn't can keep straighter by it. and make the crocileting about the same depth into the material all the way.4 ]
 For the first row, go all around the material with single crochet; second row. double crochet in every single crochet. making a close bor- der; third row, I crochet five single crochet between every thirds and fourth double crochet, giving a fan like effect for the edge.
 lar by using the above pattern and making first row pale pink: second row in white, and third in pale pink. I bought a yard of good quality or- gandy for 90 cents. can make about six collars with it-depending upon the size of the collar. I also bought a ball of Royal Society cotton (white). No. 70. for 15 cents: You can pur- chase two balls of ttie same color for 25 cents. Then I bought a crochet No: 1-2 would have been. better after trying it; and also a ball of pink and one of blue cotton.
 I made another scalloped collar, a little larger resembling a shawl col far. Around the edge of this one made 10 single crochet into the ma terial then pfcot, and anothers 10 single crochet, ands SO on all around the collar. I, chain five and join the fifth chain into the first one, forming a tiny circle-this makes the picot.i
 I also made "a sailor collar with three tiny tucks near. the bottom. My first row around this collar was single crochet; second row, double crochet single crochet in each of four meshes of the double crochet then a picot just above, and so on. The double crochet forms little squares. This is called the mesh and is similar to beading through which we thread ribbon. :.
 A very pretty edging can be made by making first row white: second pale pink. and third a little deeper shade of pink, or with whatever coiors. you prefer. Red. white and blue would make a. pretty handkerchief -edging.H
 You can make med a1lions. to sew irto the collar as follows: Chain from five to seven stitches according to the size of the collar you prefer and join the last stitch into first to form circle. Then make single crochet around this circle, covering the chain stitches. and work around with double crochet until you have the, medallion the size you require. When you sew the medallion cn the collar do not cut a circle of organdy from the collar until after you have sewn it on. then. cut circle and overcast the raw edge neatly. '-i
 I hope you will be able to un5eEs- stand these patterna. I have fn- ished my three collars with the .ex- ception of putting on neck bands. I like thern better than ones I nave bought
 Best wishes.

INTERESTING BOOKS.

Dear Social Corner Editor: Those who read library books are often more surprised by what they reveal of the character of those who have handled them than, by any ideas expressed by the authors. ;.
 The reader who takes little lunches leaves grease spots and coffee and COCO stains and cake crumbs, etc, etc. here and there upon the books pages
 The methodical reader of one page at a sitting who has a. poor n emory folds over each page and dog ears the whole book.
 Some readers encircle the page num- Der with a ring to denote the place of beginning, and some determined souls have brokenathe books back to make 1t lie open on the table; or reading desk. :
 do not like to- smell cheese or waffies or ham fat when open a library book.
 The optimfst, the pessirnist. the critic, the cynic, the fool all leave their marks upon library books, and from their tracks live reader is able to recognize who has gone before him.

 My euaddy quilt is a beauty and all who have seen it admire it, T made the eight-inen squares of the best quality sheeting and outlined the quaddy with red tamno cotton, put inc squares together. four wide and five long, then put an eight-inch wide strip of bricht red perca!e on all four sides. For the back used sheeting of the same quality as 'ahe blocks and tied each corner of the blocks to the sback with the tambo: The little stan "a. printed with each quaddy was so small did not put it t'n. but instead printed the name. of each one in let ters one inch high and outlined them with tampo The children can easily read these and will hare great fun. I expect they will want the light left burning more than one evening, to tell stories. I might say I made mine for spread. so did not put cotton in as for a quilt. .i,I7' v.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I heard a friend remark a short time since, Any one can go into shop and pur- chase gifts providing they have the money in their purse to pay for them, but every one has not the time and patience to sit down and make them value most the gifts made for me for into every stitch goes a thought of me- and money cannot buy loving thoughts.
 I was planning things made of linen last week and I have been thinking how nice Lettuce bag made of linen toweling, Celery bag." and a Corset bag would be.
 A linen sofa pillow Crochet a band to go through the center.
 A linen cover for a nice gown. any of which you would know how to
 A case for nice dress is made of dotted muslin about s5 inches in length; sew up the sides after folding and one-half inch hem; you can chain stitch the hem, or you can embroider it if you wish. Make a. large eye let for the hanger to be put through.
 Teanps is o< nsn useful l. gift nshed tS ye a button hole edge.-One may utilize many scraps. in this way.
 Handkerchief case made of linen, is made square. Allow each side to turn over wide enough for handkerchief button hole edge.
 The resting bag made for an in valid is for 9, dma, made of soft, white linen or dotted muslin, filled with som thing soft like down, or silk floss. You want to make them so you can remove the pillow when the cover is so;lcd. On one end attach a small bag for glasses and handker- chief, and on the other just a small bag for l pencil and small pad. You can buy these all made, but they can be made at home.
 A ring secured in one of these bags to slip her, -thiInble and another. for scissors that it would increase it's usefulness.
 A present I made an elderly lady last Christmas cost 12 cents. It was made of cheese cloth. a bag: 24 by 26, with a string (crocneted cord} through the top; stenciled upon it was a pret- ty pattern A dustere Of siikateen or cheese cloth should be made and put in the bag; and if grandma takes up a book that is dusty, or should she want to w.>e off anything that is not suited to her taste, she has the ready c'oth near. Many times when knit ting she used to slip her ball in the bag; and she used to put her slip pers in at night, so I thought of a slipper bag. Take piece of Crstonne OF anything you have about 27 inches long and the width of the slippers. sew on pockets and rings, and noEe 0 shoe or slipper bag. ETfIEI,YN.

DcuGHNUTS AND WONDER
 CAKES. fp

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Why will some persons persist in speaking of the holes in doughnuts? The real, genuine article never had a hole in it.
 If we could turn our memories back 60 1S4o, over good part of Fairfield, Litchfeld and New Haven counties, Conn, and Westchester county, N. Y, up to 1850. we would find that moth CTS at that time were to be regarded as the best authority on old fashioned American cookery '.-
 The doughnut of that period con- sisted sf bread dough raised over night with hop meal cakes. or "emptins" sweetened with brown s,r- gar. shortened a little and fried to a rich brown in leaf lard, and were somewhat larger than goose egg and about the same shape. These were known. among sthe old Dutch New Workers and are described in Barber's History of New York, published about 1S4o..
 Wonder cakes were similar, with a little more shortening and sweeten- ing. The dough was rolled about three-fourths of an inch thick, cut into squares of three inches, with three slits. which were pressed apart into a fantastic shape, and were the idolized Sabbath day lunch, eaten under the maple tree or the horse shed between the morning and afternoon services
