A MELANeE FROM LARK.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am a reader of The Social Corner and 1 will send a few suggestions.
 For Sore Throat or inflammation: Bake a sour apple soft. Have piece of butter at hand, pull out the soft apple and quickly mash butter the size of apple together Eat 1t as hot as you can bear Then start another apple baking and repeat un- til relieved. It is also good for quin- sy sore thrat.
 For Quinsy Sore Throat: Pull up E a., mullen leaf and root; steep or boil in milk and water; wet cloths in 1t and keep the throat wet with it, placing a flannel over it. Draws the swelling out. it does not usually break inside. | To Kill Poison Ivy: Wash in new warm milk. Boil sweet fern tea, wash with it every time it burns or itch- eS.
 Mothers Fried Apple Turnovers- Make a biscuit crust (only not as saucer and fold together carefully, prick with a fork. Try in hot fat.
 When cold, pull open and put spoon full of stewed apple in each Sift sugar over them when ready to serve.
 To Clean Green Spots Of of Silk or WooI-Sponge with good alcohol; rub the spot until dry. I cleaned fly pap CT off a silk dress that way and it left no trace or spot
 To Clean Unfinished Paint or Grain ing-Add a good teaspoonfuls of baking soda to one quart of warm water. Wash about two feet square. With a dry soft cloth polish it until perfectly dry. The way of the grain looks like new.
 For Burns-Spread vaseline thiclxly on old linen Lay over the burn. Keep the air away which anays the pain.
 If you find a mouse hole wet a piece of soft paper. sprinkle well with cay enne pepper, roll it to fit the place. Drive it in the hole. Will drive the mouse away.

A PRETTY LAWN BASKET

Dear Social Corner Sistsrs: Now is the time to make a lawn basket for lawn basket that want to tell. the so- cial Corner readers of 1t. When one has small lawn and does not like to give up the smooth green for flower of the perplexity for it will hold a whole flower garden in itself and still not interfere with the green plush" spread under and around it.
 The rim or top edge of the basket Is a tire from a wagon wheel, and the other part is made from strips of hoop iron. One end of each strip is riveted to the rim of the basket and the other shape, and fastened to a pole which is firmly planted in the ground and goes up through the center of the basket with birdhouse on top of the pole. The pieces of hoop iron are several inches apart so we lined the inside of the whole with moss in or der to keep the earth from falling out Sod would do as well if moss could Madeira vines and cypress planted next to the pole and they soon covered the birdhouse at the top. Next were gladio3as then geraniums, next coleus ground ivy to trail down over the sides. The whole when done was very charming and admired by everyone.
 A Floral Wheeibarrow: Another way to make a flower bed for showing or a few plants is to make a, wheelbarrow with a rough, rustic frame and a wheel of twisted grapevine. The bed of the Wfleelbarrow is made of a plain large box. nearly square and shallow. This is filled with rich earth; plant around the box nasturtiums; and in the center tall plant that will grow upright. Fill in witS native ferns and delicate vines. What could be pret- tier for a shady corner of the piaz- ga.
 It would make a pretty hyacinth box for the early spring. or if planted with border of heliotrope and yellow rose it can be left out late and then taken to the. bay window for winter blooming.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It has been quite a while since I wrote any thing for The Corner but have read with much interest the letters every week, and have tried some of the recipes and found them all right. Will send in one or two of my oOn that have been tested:
 Suet Puddins-One cup of chopped suet, one cup of milk. one-haf cup of molasses. one-half- cup raisins, chop ped, one egg and little salt and tea spoon cream of tartar, one-half tea spoon soda. Steam two hours.
 Filling for Layer Cake: One cup of milk, two rounding tablespoons flour, two rounding tablespoons sugar, a 1it- tie salt, one-quarter teaspoon vanilla Put the milk on the stove. and when 1t boils stir in the thickening and when 1t cools spread between layers. Some call this ice cream filing.

 I wish some time the Sisters would come Sterling way for picnic. or something of the sort. I should like to get acquainted. Think it must be fun to find out who is who"

WAYS OF SERVING APPLES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Have you room for still another? If you have, will come in and join your cozy Corner. think all the letters are interesting and helpful. would like to say cheerful and encouraging word to any who are tired and discour- aged and by so doing will be like giv- ing refreshments all along the Journey of life and help many to reach the end smiling who otherwise would have fallen by the way. Who knows?
 l.. H. K: Can you guess who's whof Did you not live in L. once? Your recipes are fine If remember right, you used to be fond of puzzles. Try this: although not & puzzle, it is rather odd: Take any number not more than g. either two three or more figures, and reverse the figures and subtract one from the other and 1t Is always equal ly divided by 8.

PULLED CORN AND LAYER CAKE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I feel very much as Grace did last week almost ashamed to write after being silent so long. I saw several letters signed with my pen name a few months ago, but as haven't lately, will try again.
 First of all, I wish to express my sympathy for Azalea and O. H. O. in their recent troubles. Sickness can not always be prevented; but it does seem as if some of these terrible acci- dents could be, if people would only take a minute to look or think. Only a minute at times would help a great deal, and still not make much differ ence in the time of arriving atstheir destination.
 Samantha: always look for one of your interesting letters, as I met you once, though probably you would not know me now. I should like so much to drop in with you all at some of your gatherings, but as I have a large fam fly I do not feel that it is right to leave the cares to an aged mother. Could call some afternoon just to say How'd do ?"
 Someone asked about huIling corn. Here is my method: always take common yellow corn grown here in the east if I can get 1t, as I think it cooks more tender than western corn. l look over two quarts or a little over and let 1t soak over night. In the morning heat it and add four heap ing teaspoons of common baking soda I have heard of people using lye and ashes, but never would, as the soda seems cleaner and not as strong. Af- ter it has boiled long enough so the hu1ls will rub off, wash the corn until they are removed It will take long time, but the trouble pays when you get taste. After it is washed, boil until tender, changing the water at least, as this boils out the taste of soda and makes it winter.
 Please tell me if you have good luck. My children are fond of it and have been wanting some, but sickness has taken too much of my time lately to hull any. It is fine, when tender and well salted, to eat in milk.
 wonder if someone wouldn't like to try this recipe for layer cake as so many require two eggs:
 One Ec~ Two-Layer Cake-Sift to- gether into a mixing bowl one and a half cups flour, one cup sugar, salt, one level teaspoon soda and two level teaspoons cream tartar. Break into teacup one egg, add three tablespoons melted butter and fill up with sweet milk Stir this into the flour and su- gar thoroughly. Bake in two layers. Sometimes I save out a little of the dough and by adding raisins, all kinds Of spices a spoonful of molasSes and a little flour I have three layers, put ting the dark in the middle and put ting together with any filling you pre- fer. I usually like just confectioners' sugar moistened with milk and flavor ed with vanilla
 Why doesn't someone send in rules for fancy work? Anything would be acceptable, as there are so many Sis ters it would suit some one. I love to see 1t and should do more if I had

Dear Sisters of the Corner:-F1rst want to thank Interested Reader for remembering me with a pretty ca1en- |, der-such lovely flowers and flower beds.
 It reminds me of our flower beds when I was a girl. We had them heart, diamond and star shaped, five in the lower yard and a bed around six pear trees in the front yard; and the beds were a mass of blooms. . These were built up with turf and it was no easy job to take a pair of old dull shears and cut the grass around them.

 I cannot insist too strongly upon this essential of the business in hand. Put the ice. broken in pieces as big as your fist. into a stout sack; lay up on the ground, and beat with mal1et or rolling pin until it is like coarse ,a snqw Then pack y,i It instantly before ore tightly closed freezer and pour over it two quarts of brine strong enough to bear up an egg Heap cracked ice high oyer the freezer. tuck thick piece of sacking doubled several times, closely over all and leave in a cool place. You need not touch it again for an hour.
 Then wipe the salt and wet care fully from the top of the freezer: open 1t, and with wooden paddle scrape the congealing contents from the sides into the middle. This done, beat and churn the cream steadily for good five wooden dasher such as is used for churning, it will be a great help in this part of the operation. Churn hard and thoroughly for the smooth ness of the cream depends upon the manner in which this is done. You cannot be too faithful here, and tkis is the only grinding, or churning you have to do.
 Then close the freezer and pack down again in plenty of rock salt and pounded ice mot pouring off the brine). Bury the freezer clean out of sight; put weight on the top to keep it from floating and replace the thick sack, tucking it in to exclude the air. and give yourself no concern as to the outcome of the experiment for three hours Cor five or six. if it will please you better).
 Vanilla Ice Cream: Make a custard of quart of milk, six eggs, and four cups of sugar. Remove from the fire and let it get perfectly cold. Flavor with vanilla to taste, recollecting that cream is to be added, and allowing for it in the seasoning. If you make the custard the evening before the cream is to be frozen. do not put in the quart of rich, sweet cream which com pletes the mixture until next day. This should be added. stirred well in, just before turning all into the freezer. Freeze as directed above
 Raspberry Mousse: Mash well a quart of ripe, red raspberries and mix with two cups of fine granulated su- gar. Turn into the freezer and pack in ice for an hour.
