 But she would not take up the cud- gels against him. would not seem tc countenance or condone his offense by discussing 1t from any angle whatso- ever. And she was more determined to allow no degree of friendliness, even in conversation, because she recog- niEed the masterful quality of the man.
 After a lapse of time they dropped into another valley, and faced west ward to a mountain range which Bill told her was the Rockies. The next day a snowstorm struck them. It was not particularly cold. Bill wrapped her in a heavy canvas coat. and plod- ded on Noon passed. and he made no stop. If anything. he increased his pace.
 Suddenly, in the late afternoon, they stepped out of the timber into little clearing, in which the blurred outline of cabin showed under the wide arms of a leafless tree.
 The melting snow had soaked through the coat; her feet were wet with the clinging flakes. and tho chill of s lowering temperature had set Ha- Eel shivering.
 Roaring Bill halted at the door and lifted her down from Silks back with out the formality of asking her leave. He pulled the latchstring, and led her In. Beside the rude stone fireplace wood and kindling were piled in readi- ness for use. Bill kicked the door shut, dropped on his knees and started the Ire. In five minutes a great blase leaped and cracked into the wide throat of the chimney. Then he piled on more wood. and turned to her.
 'This is the house that Jack built." he said, with a sober face and twinkle in his gray eyes. This is the man that lives in the house that Jack built. And this"-he pointed mis- chievously at her-"is the woman who's going to love the man that lives in the house that Jack built"
 "That's lie" she flashed stormily through her chattering teeth.
 "Well, we'll see." he answered cheer fully. "Get up here close to the fire and take of those wet things while l put away the horses"
 And with that he went out whistling

GROWING TOBACCO.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It has been a long time since I have writ ten to The Corner. I have read most of the letters and been amused at the different opinions some of the Sisters have expressed. especially about lady smoking.

AUNT MARNs PICNIC.

Dear Cornerites: Would I had the pen of ready writer that I might so plainly picture the 18th of August that all the sisters who could not be at Aunt Mary's that day might see in their minds eye all the many pleas ures and beauties of the day, and so enjoy it. somewhat, too.
 First it was an ideal day and joined the sisters who left the city on the 9:45, north-bound trolley The ride was very fine and the lily pond beautiful. The visit with the sisters, very enjoyable. Then the smiles and word of welcome from Aunt Mary need no description, as all who know her know they a part of her and we always look for them when we meet her. and never are disappointed.
 Each car from north and south brought more until noontime, when some of the south bound sisters came who We had given up; but what fun they made for us all telling their ex- periences. They started early enough, but by some mistake took the West erly car, and when their mistake was discovered had gone quite distance, so must wait for car back to the city and start anew: but they reach ed us in time for dinner and a good d1l6rnOOn OI pledSuT6s
 Some went after berries before din- ner and many more during the af- ternoon and were very successful in finding them, large sweet and plenty
 I could not go but, thanks to the Greeneville sisters, I had a pound grape basket full to bring home with me and have enjoyed them very much Thanks.
 In the afternoon there were read ings, recitations, conundrums, stories music and fun which made the time pass so swiftly that it was 6 o'clock and time to start for home before any one was, really ready.

GREETINGS FROM GREAT GRAND
 MA

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Time passes rapidly with me and age pre- vents my being with you at the so= cial gatherings. do enjoy reading the reports, and poems. There was pathos in the one from G. L. to his mother As read the poem readily and earnestly the heart in prayer went to God for his protecting care. that the dear soldiers life might be spared to return to home and mother.
 For long time I have been inter ested in The Man Who Talks and make clippings of that column for my scrap book The reading you can take Up at any time. and is interesting and profitable.
 I have no recipes to add as I am living on wheatless, nieatless and sweetless food with plenty of fruit, corn and vegetables,
 As the Social Corner adds to it's numbers the unity, good will and love manifested seems conducive of bring ing happiness to many homes, an1 may it ever continue is the prayer of GREAT GRANDMA,

Within the Shadow.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: A few months ago I wrote letter on New England homestead wherein the old time spirit of peace and kind ness had not been estranged, nor into it's atmosphere had entered the un- rest of the world.
 It is With sadness I note that during the past two weeks the shadow of death has fallen on this beautiful old home, and the one who for so many years in sincerely cared for those who had remained with her, and ever vel comed home those who had turned has been laid forever to rest beside those whom she loved in her early life.
 It is with feeling of satisfaction that I reveal in these lines the thoughts of those who in days of joy tarried in this home, of those who in days of sadness found a shelter under it's roof, and to know that my words are not platitudes nor meaningless.
 AS in the shifting scenes of life when 50 many of us have been called far from the peaceful home of youthful days, we hold fast to those who are strong and steadfast, and whose com panionship formed the foundation and ulpI6SSlOudDl6 SLdnudrQS or He. But earthly farewells are only for little while, as one by one we are following on to that same rest. 1 shall leave with this teacher o1 childish days and loyal friends of lat CT years the imperishable sentiment and the assurance of remembrance ot a truly beautiful life. the influence. ol which tim alone will accentuate. and the hope that the earthly sleep upor which time alone will accentuate, ant the beginning of the fulfllment of he1 dreams and prayers. an entrance into the land of light and life immortal.

The Service Elaa.

There's a little star in the window of
 the house across the way, 4 little star, red bordered, on a
 ground of pearly white; [ can see it's gleam at evening; it is
 bright at dawn of day, And I know t has been shining
 thru the long and dismal night The folks who pass the window on the busy city street,
 l often notice, turn a glance before
 they hurry by, And one, a grayhaired woman, made curtesy, low and sweet, While something like a teaTdrop was
 glistening in her eye. And yesterday an aged man, by life's
 stern battle spent,
 His empty coat sleeve hanging down
 a witness sadly mute, Gave one swift look and halted--his
 form full height, unbent- And ere he passed his hand came
 up in soldierly salute. The little star in the window is afame
 with living fire,
 For t was lit at the hearthstone
 where a lonely mother waits; And she has stained it's crimson with
 the glow of her hearts desire, And frightened it's pearl-white hea- ven beyond the worlds dark
 hates. The star shall shine thru the battle
 when the shafts of death are
 hurled: 4 It shall shine thru the long night watches in the foremost trench es' line: Over the waste of waters and beyond the verge of the world Like the guiding Star of the Magi, I it's blessed rays shall shine. The little star in the window shall
 beacon your boys return z And his eyes are set to the home f land, when the call of the guns shall cease; fn the flags high constellation thru t the ages it shall burn, A pledge of his hearts devotion, a sign of his neople's peace. t-John Jerome Rooney in New York Sun

WASTING OF FOOD,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I be- lieve the American women were never struggling harder to live economically and to save food, or wasting morC than they be today.
 The housewife has been sorced from her old frugal habits to experiment with new recipes and all the substi- ute recipes are more expensive than the old ones and do not give as sat- isfactory results.
 Crackers too hard to soak soft and devoid of flavor and bread that crum- bies under the knife are trying the souls of the people everywhere.
 We threw a whole loaf of bread into the garbage can." said a woman to me the other day.
 Why did you do that?" I asked.
 Nothing else to be done" said she, we could take our old stale bread and convert it into bread pudding, but stale. inedible stuff would make an inedible pudding if eggs and but ter, etc. were added to it and result in even greater waste Half the bread we buy isn't fit to eat
 There is no doubt some people are making good bread with the substi- tutes, but great many housewives are in state of disgust and colfus iOn over the feStrlctlon3 which upset regular systems and force them tt make unsatisfactory experiments.
 Old bean flour mixed with new wheat flour doesn't make a good digestibIe substitute for the wheat bread we have been accustomed to. Indian mea and wheat are far from being sat 1Sfactory combination for the average stomach. No stomach is likely t. crave it.
 Combinations of rye, rice and bar ley are better with wheat, but after all they never get in public favor bu, remain as something necessary tt save wheat substitutes which must bs put up with.
 It is to be hoped a combination bread may be discovered that will b, | popular and ever in demand because of its excellent taste and nourlshinx qualities.

THE PICNIC AT NELLY BLYs.

Social Corner Sisters; We had an other pleasant outing at Nellie Bly's Lome. The spot was ideal and the crowd a merry one; and, oh. how they did enjoy waving hands and ker- chiefs to the passing autos that went by. Some 25tor more were there. The table spread upon the lawn. Old Glory flying in the breeze from the tall white f1agpole; yellow flowers grow ing around the house mixed in the other pretty blossomed plants.
 The hostess was all that could be desired. Shortly after noon she placed before the guests a large pan of steaming hot clans, tender yellow corn, plenty of hot tea, coffee and cold home made root beer, which wasn't long in going out Of sight, be- sides the box lunch.
 Scottie was there with her knit ting.
 Dehlah Deal with new creation bag of a pretty and handy design.
 Nearly everyone busy at something, but all found time to chat and ex- change ideas.
 Prudy arrived later and said she was not real tired after her picnic of the day before which I was sorry to miss as I had forgotten the date.

ONE OF THE sADDEsT SIGHTS.

Dear Social Corner Friends I thank The Bulletin for the yellow slip. Last month l was much impressed by what saw. and have thought of it many tunes since. l was one of thousands who saw another large number of our local boys leave for camp. I happen ed to be standing directly opposite a saloon when the train came in, bring ing hundreds of other selected men from nearby towns. and there was perfect rush for that saloon.
 One already needed the support of two of his companions, another came out tucking a large bottle in the front Of his blouse. I was not proud of our city that morning. There were many wet eyes that day, but to me that was one or the saddest parts of the leave taking.
 Women all over the country are urged to knit and keep knitting and rich and poor are gladly doing their part.
 was on a back street the other day and passed mother surrounded by a humber of small children. She looked so tired and worn, but her poor crook ed nngers were patiently struggling With a sweater (by the way thought should have nervous prostratio be- IdHSl6Q neel and the Kitchener" toe, but I was as proud of that sock when finished as a lad with his first pair of trousers. , There is much more the men can do for the good of those who are leav- ing us. The city officials could close the saloons during the departure of the drafted men. That saloonkeeper could show himself man by refusing to do what would demoralize those who are fighting and dying for his freedom. Do you call him loyal to Uncle Sam? Would he send his own son away with such a blessing?
 Our lawmakers could place the sale of liquors eff they must be made and sold). in the hands of those who have a conscience.
 have noticed that all doors are closed during the voting hours on election day, it is very necessary then that all must have clear head. so no mistakes are made, and no votes lost Are not the morals of our young men of as much importance as political position?
 I was glad not to recognize any of our own home men that morning, but each one represented some mothers boy. Think of the extra heartache ii there were any in that crowd wht had come to see the departure of theil loved ones.
 There is a fine if liquor is sold to one in uniform. No doubt that saloon. keeper fiattered himself he was keep. ing within the law as the boys were still in citizens clothes. but each ont was wearing the badge of red. white and blue pinned to the front of hi. coat to show he belonged to Uncl, Sam, and as his representative should have been refused.
 have never thought much abuu my rights at the polls. but there i one thing sure, whenever and whereve
 wives and mothers have a chance t.
 vote on that question, it won't talk
 them long to do their best to clos
 the saloons.
