IT DOESN'T COST MONEY.

It doesn't cost money, as many sup pose.
 To have a good time on this earth; The best Of it's pleasures are free unto those
 Who know how to value their worth The sweetest music the birds to us sing.
 The lovcliest flowers grow wild; Tho finest of drinks sushes out of the
 spring
 All free. to man, woman and child. No money can purchase, no artist can
 paint
 Such pictures as nature supplies, . Forever, all over 10 sinner and saint Who use, 10 advantage, their eyes. Kind words and glad looks and smiles
 Cheery and brave Cost nothing-no. nothing at all: And vet ail the wealth Monte Cristo
 could save
 Can make no such pleasure befall. To bast In the sunlight to breathe the
 pure air.
 Honest toll. The enjoyment of health Sweet slumbcr refreshing these
 pleasures we share. Without any portion of wealth. Communion with friends that are tried
 true and strong. To love and 10 he loved for loves

 In fact all that makes life happy

E1iie, who heafds s4id it seemed good fo talk natural As he had to raise his voice Over there" On account of the aeroplanes and noise. The last time he spoke in a deserted barn. He had been with the 164sh, regiment from Springfield and in all camps in sev- eral countries. They were all the same. clean, sanitary stfd well be- haved.
 The Germans threw potslAs with notes in them ever in the Entente lines and asked What kind of peobie they were. British, French CT American v Come over and and out" they fe- piled.
 One soldier was firing his gun as fast as he could pull the trigger when all at once it stopped. He looked at his hand and the index finger was gone. He was a tailor by trade and said What do you ltnow about that7 It's all right! The finger use the thinnble on is there" !" They go out in all kinds of danger and bring in every man that is ~ourdA ed and handle them as carefully as any mother Or nurse.
 Do they want to come home? Oh, yes, but they want to come via Ser | lin.
 The speaker heard someone say they | would not ca.e for America after the war; it would seem dull after so much l excitement and travel, but the speaker ! said there is not man who would not ! give q year of their lives over there for a day in America and they will be prouder of her after they come home l than ever before. They all gave three ] cheers for the folks at home as he ad. 1 dressed them just before hs left. They have won some of the largest battles in history and without taking one drop Of rum or anything of the kind.

from the Latin word frigera, to fry, through the French frier, hut. 1t is thought more probable now that It de- rived from the French fr-leesser,
 meaning to break into pieces. or tf5
 Latin fricare, to rub. In French the
 word is used to indicate any meat fried in a pan but the English mean
 ing is disn made from rutttlg into

 O. ctler ran with a graTsF.
 No'ssses comes through many mcii-
 ums from the Latin nellas aus. mean
 ing honey like. which is dert[ed from mel, honey.
 Custard was corruption of midi
 English word meaning a pie or tart, and was allied to the modern French word croustade of the same meaning. All these words came from the Latin crusta, meaning crust. Salad means salted and is a direct descendant of the Latin word sal, or salt. The use of salad to mean the
 greens from which, or on which a salad mixture is placed, is one of only recent origin. The Italian insalta and the Spanish salada, meaning salad, in those languages, actually mean salt ed. MOUNTAIN LAUREL.

TO MAKE A KfMoNA WAIST
 QUICKLY.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: Take a piece of goods S6 inches wide Or more, fold through center crosswise, bringing the four corners together; now fold through center lengthwise, cut square piece out nf the top edge of fold three inches wide by four in- ches deep; cut an opening on left side of front portion, from edge of square neck down about three or four inches; finish with buttons, and trim neck edge with insertion or edging; now for the sleeve part, allow about eight inches, taking from edge of center fold and cut about four inches straight then curve to make under arm pos ticn, nd cut along the goods length wise to bottom. This will allow you a piece of goods about four inches wide: it can be used to 1engthen the sleeve if too short to suit one. Hem bottom, and put Q loop on each side seam to where your waist iiJs should be: wear a patent leather belt. This style is be- coming to stout CT slender figures and looks pretty made either in sport or middy goods.

SOCIAL CORNER POEMS.
HIS NAME IS LOVE.

 Because in day of my days to come There waiteth a grief to be; Shall my heart grow faint, and my
 lips De dumb,
 In this day that is bright for me? Because Of a subtle sense of pain, Like a pulse-b threaded through The bliss Of my thought, shall I dare
 refrain
 From delight in the pure and true? In the harvest fields shall I cease to
 glean,
 Since the bloom of the spring has
 fled Shall veil mine eyes to the monday since the dew of the morn hath
 spedH Nay, phantom ill with the warning
 hand;
 Nay, ghosts of the weary past; Serene as in arrnor of faith l stand, Ie may not hold me fast. Your shadows across my sun may fall, But aS bright the sun shall shine; For I walk in a light ye cannot pail, The light Of the King Divine. And whatever He sends from day to
 day. '" am sure that His name is Love; And He never. will iet me lose my way To my rest ip His home above.

CLUB No. 2s NOVEMBER MEETING

Dear Social Corner Friends: All taose who attended the November meeting at Buckingham Memorial of Club No. know that those who did rot come missed & very enjoyable se- cial gathering. Although there were several absent that we had hoped to see there and we missed tlIenf very much: but it had been so long since we had met there, and it seemed good to meet as many as we did. and every one seemed so glad to meet each other that we could not help having a good time.
 When I entered the rooms and saw Scottie, Gala Lily, and Blossom as busy as bees acting as hostesses, l'rew that everything would be just right as far as it was possible for the three to prepare for the guests.
 Some were late in getting there; but at the noon hour there were enough to i'll the seats at one long ta- ble, and each one brought something so good to eat that the table under the hostesses' ski1lful hands was a tempting one to look at. After sing ing Praise God From Whom All Bless ings Flow, the company aid full jus tioo to the bountiful dinner so skill fully prepared and artisticaIly ar- ranged.
 We were very glad that loan was able to he with us again and give us scme of her enjoyable music.
 Blossom added much to the enjoy ruent of the afternoon with her skill full playing.
 In order that we might have the pleaeure of the company Of the Frank lin Sisters it was voted to hold the club meeting at the Buckingham Me- morial after this on Wednesdays in stead of Thursday, as some members Cross workers on Thursdays. It was changed to Thursday on account ot
 the conference of churches meeting or Wednesday but it was decided tt change it back as it seemed to accom- 1 modate a larger number to have the r1ontlly meeting Wednesday, As the conference does not meet every month | the month they do meet on the first ! WednesdaN the club could meet the ! second Wednesday to accommodate | all of the members. This might be ! discussed in the letters to find whicf i way would be best suited to the 1arges number ! How sloriously our Heavenly Fa- i thcr is answering the many prayer: Of our people that he would bless oul
 armies and give them success. H, | has verified the promise: While thu people are calling He will answer i While they are yet speaking He vii hear

OLD KING ALCOHOL

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner: in 1920 rum will not be plenty. We will not mind the weather, but will all march together and shout for the downfall of old King Alcohol. It polsons the blood of our young men. lf it was not for that it might have been a different world: and I've no doubt when congress finds it out. chil- dren will not be crying for bread when old King Alcohol is dead,
 Congress right quick will ratify, and many a woman it. will gratify to have her husband sober come. and not bring home a bottle of rum. He will come home with smiles and money and the drunkards wife will think it funny such a thing has come to pass. The people will find out soon prison doors will close for good if Woodrow only would say wen have no more of tho dirty rot and git it what the kaiser got and farewell the drunken sot!
 If we live to see the day, hot so far away. we'll sing and shout and march ahead, because old King Alcohol is dead! @ 4.sF S
 IT you have a kind old mother in the old home far away. don't give her a chance to worry. but send her word today that you have taken the pledge forever, and God help you, son. to keep it.

sALrED NUTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: You can save little money by salting your own nuts, and the trouble is slight Butter or office oil was formerly used, but peanut oil is just as satisfactory, and even the so-called cooking oils, made of corn and other vegetable pro- ducts, can be used with splendid re- suits. In fact, it is far better to use a good, fresh vegetable oil than an in- ferior butter.
 It is a great mistake to use a great deal of salt ;n this process. A very little gives the necessary piquancy to the nuts; an1 more merely produces an annoying thirst and sometimes even irritates the lips. The nuts should be put into well oiled eartl1en bak- ing dish and placed in the oven and as soon as they set hot they should be shaken about to keep them from browning uneveniy. If they do not appear to be oiled all over little more oil may be added. Watch them carefully to see that they do not be come too br3wned and when almost ready to remove from the oven add a springie of salt, shaking very thoroughly in the dish so as to mix the salt thoroughly Remove from the oven and spread out on q piece oi clean paper 10 ccol. Keep them ir a dry place until eaten, as they art best when crispest-
 Peanuts are the least expensive and most easy to salt. It Is best, however to buy thsse nuts unroested and that neeessitates blanching. To dc this poul boiling water on the nuts and allow it to repiatn cn them till the red skir puckers and becomes loose-usuail3 two of three nttnutes Is encuElit.

 He knows Connecticut, although he does n6t live in it, but upon ancestral aeres in { netghbUriiR state with a w0oded hill soV feet high back Of his R0use, and range Of mountains 5000 feet high in front of it. in a snug little valley, where the sun goes down at 3 p. m. this time of year, where the snow gets three feet deep and the temperature fingers for weeks about sefo or 3s degrees below in r1id- winter. He is a mystery.
 You will notice he never tells you how to run your farm, but how he gambIes with nature, and has as many failures as anyone, but he prefers to talk about his successes. He isn't bumptious and this is why he is a go0d teacher; but 1 have no idea he desires to take any students.
 He has shepherd dog named Major, and a growing pig in the pen named HindenbergAabo fit to kill. This may help you to judge some what of his Aff1eficanisfa.
 He is one it is good to know-he will not hatter you and you cannot f&tter him. He is afi wool and a yard wide, perpendicular as the mountains around him and as square as a brick.
 He evidently believes if you grow what the people want as they want It without grun1bIing.

WHERE WE GET OUR FOOD
 NAMES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Cruller is a good Yankee dish, though it is from an old German, or Dutch word, "krullen," meaning little curled cake.
 Sandwich takes it's name from John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, in I7S2, who used to have slices of bread with ham between, served to him while he was at the gaming table, SO that he need not stop playing. Stanwich, a tower in Kent. England, the name of which was made up of the Anglo Saxon word sand and ''wic," meaning town-sandy town.
 Mushrooms get their name from the same source as moss.
 Pone is word of Indian derivation and an early English historian of Vir- sinia took pains to explain that it was not from the Latin panis, meaning bread, but from the red Indian word oppone, and 1t was early applied in the south to any bread made of Indian corn.
 Fritter is from an old French word meaning to fry or a dish of fried fish, which comes directly from the Latin frictus, the past participlo of the verb frigere.
 Dumpline IS good old English dish and comes from the word dunpen that
 meant to throw down suddenly and the diminutive ending ling. The idea was 8 little cake that was made by throwing raw, rough dough into 8 boiling water.
 From Portugal we get our word marmalade, which was originally g sweet preserve made from qutnces. and takes it's name from marce;o, the Port uguese name tor that fruit. Nobody knows what rnuffin came from, but it was probably derived froir | the word huff, and we can imagine that it might have been tiue to som. similarit.' between the warm cake ant the hand ccFerlng.

SQUASH BISCUIT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: have long enjoyed reading the letters in The Bulletin, but realized more en- oy1nsnt and pleasure last week when I met with the Sisters at the Buck ingham Memorial in Norwich.
 As they vrefe nearly all strangers to me, only the friend who invited me and Aunt Mary were the only faces knew. I have known Aunt Mary for years. ever since she located in Plain field. when 1 was quite a small child. We were invited to her house to a Sunday school picnic, and we did have a good time, just as do the Social Corner Sisters when they have their picnicits with Aunt Mary.
 As we have to conserve on sugar, am sending a recipe for

nuts can be salted to advantage. But it is not necessary to blaneh them uri- less. the outside skin appears unduly thick and course. Sometimes the f1l- bert nut has such a skin They are especially appetizing when salted. A large nut like the Brazil nut, may be broken in halves or thirds. before be- ing salted.
