EXCESSIVE PRUDENCE IS MPRUDENcE

tanias dead 1 felt personal loss. all though 1 had never seen the man; but I had spent such delightful hours browsing among his books that l could not think of him as a stranger. He wrote of common things in an uncom- mon way.
 It was he who wrote the Little Journeys to he Homes of Good Men and Great, To the Homes of American Authors, To the Homes of Famous Women etc.
 Joseph Jefferson wrote him: Send me two copies of everything you print one copy to read and love. and one to give away" and Maude Adams, af- ter visiting the Roycrofters, wrote him: "Yes, have been to the Sum- Rising; have seen Ali Baba, Saint Gerome and Fra Elbertus at work; have seen the place where country boys and girls are given an education in art. music and literature, each ac- cordirg to his power to absorb-and it all seems to me the nearest approach to Utopia that has yet been realized" "
 wonder how many Cornerites read and enjoy that optimistic little maga- zine. The Nautilus? Many of you: hope. It always makes me feel better and brighter.
 With best wishes to all.

Social Corner Sisters, also Brothers: On Saturday, Sept. 21, I will be At Home" at the library rooms in Plain field village, from 2 to S.3o o'clock in the afternoon, and hope all members of the Corner who can will come.
 A basket lunch at o'clock, and l will serve light refreshments for all who cannot stay until that hour. Cross at Flag crossing, follow street to end, turn to the left and pass three houses, a store, two houses and then the libra ry-an old time cottage plainly mark ed. and for that day decorated with flags and yellow bow. Come!
 Now for a story with a moral-to be found. Years ago small boy wis tied us and was told by his mother not to tease for lunches. He did not, but he remarked quietly to my mother: "Auntie, if you have got any cake or cookies that you are afraid will spoil 1 will eat them for you.'
 If anyone has books, magazines or papers that are in their way, we have room on our reading table for few at any time.

HOW TO MAKE. RAFTING.

How to make tatting and the neces- sary implements, which consist of a shuttle (thinner the better) and a crochet needle.
 The cotton should always be of good quality, strong and soft. There are | several available sizes-the most used are 1-2-3 (especially for learning). First fill tho shuttle with the cot ton; hold the shuttle between the thumb and first and second fingers of the right hand, leaving about one half yard of cotton unwound Take up the cotton, about three inches from the 1 end. between the end and first finger of the left hand, and let the end fall into the palm of the hand; press the cotton around the other fingers of the | left hand Ckeeping them parted lit tle) and bring it again between the thumb and forehnger.- There are only two stitches, the English and the | French, and these are usually done alternately in tatting and are termed a l double stitch.
 English Stteh-Let the thread be- tween the right and left hands fall ] towards you; slip the shuttle under the thread between the first and sec ond fingers; draw it out rather quick | ly, keeping it in a horizontal line in the left hand. you will find a slipping loop is formed. On the cotton stretch ed tightly out and with the second | finger of the left. slip the loop thus made under the thumb.
 The French Stitch is made by throw 1 ing the cotton in a loop over the left hand, and the shuttle passed under the thread between the first and second | ringers upwards. The knot must be invariably formed by the thread which passes around the fingers of the left hand. If the operation is reversed | and the knot formed by the cotton connected with the shuttle, the loon will not draw up. This is occasloned oy letting the cotton from the shuttle hang loosely in place of drawing it out and holding it tightly stretched When any given number of these double stitches are done, and drawn 1 closely together the stitches are held between the first finger and thumb. and the other fingers are withdrawn from the circle of cotton, which is gradually diminished by drawing out the shuttle until the loop of tatting IS nearly or entirely closed. The tatted loops should be quite close together unless directions are given to the con trary.
 " VIII A-OOPS-N Hen6VeT IOODS are joined, picot is made. When you come to the corresponding part of the second loop, draw the thread which 1 goes around the fingers of the left hand through the picot with crochet needle pulling through a loop large enough to admit the shuttle Slip this through, then draw the thread tight again over the fingers, and continue 1 the work
 1 Trefoil Tatting-This is done by | drawing three loops up tightly made i close together. and then leaving a short space before making more. The 1 tr-sfoil is sewed into shape afterwards i with a needle
 l have taught so many how to make 1 tatting who had given up learning. I thought l would write the elementary
 parts to The Corner.
 | taught a trained nurse (who is now in France) and I don't think she
 was over ten minutes learning.

pELlAH pEAL,s AFTERNOON.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: What a nice time we had at Nellie Bly's! Isn't she an ideal hostess? And wasn't t her Social Corner kitten cunning?
 wonder if any of the Sisters found a lavender scarf at Aunt Mary's? l lost one that day somewhere.
 At Nellie. Bly's some of the Sisters expressed the wish to come to Jewett City and see where lived; but as it is apt to be little cool after this for a lawn party, and have no lawn, and as Aunt Mary says, housekeepers gre so very busy at this time of year, 1 have thought of a new plan If you would care. to spend the afternoon with me Wednesday, Sept. 18th, l would be very glad to have you. All who could come on the trolleys which reach Jewett City at 1:9 and 1:19. Those who find this too early come later and we will have our lunch at o'clock ir- stead of 12 as usual.
 While I have no lawn, I have quite little yeranda room, and the whole house will be at your disposal, attic and cellar even if you like.
 Now read every word that follows, as this will be different from our former gatherings. Each one will please bring a cup, spoon, knife and fork, and one article to eat, whatever they like, same as we do at the Club No. 1 meetings in Norwich. Am sorry to ask you to bring cups. but if as many come as I want I could not supply these. I'll furnish hot tea, sugar and milk for all. Stay for the evening too.
 After leaving the trolley, follow the Social Corner color yellow and it will lead you to my house. Unless I hear to the contrary, shall expect you all If it storms badly that day. come the i next, Come early and stay late as you like.
 Sweet Ripe Tomato ReIish-Seven pounds tomatoes peeled and cut into thick slices. four pounds sugar (Coffee c preferred). one pint vinegar: boi | all together until tomato is soft and 1 tender, then skim out into ltone jar i add to syrup two ounces whole clove and one ounce stick cinnamon tied UT in a cloth; simmer until thick as mo- | lasses; then pour over.

THESE TlMEs OF ECONOMY,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: We have not reached in Connecticut the patriotic fervor which marks everyday life in the neighboring state of Mas sachusettS where some time ago the food commissioner requested the peo- pie to go for two months without su- gar because of shortage, wherever pos sible.
 In England for year or two it has been the fashion if you go out to tea to take your sugar with you
 In Massachusetts restaurants no sugar bowl is ever placed upon the table, but portion of sugar done up in brown paper is placed beside the patron. If the patron takes water or milk. it is the fashion to pocket the portion of sugar allowed for use else where. and I dare whisper to you that two portions are in no danger of mak- ing the tea too sweet for most folks
 did not hear complaint about conditions there. The people would take this little packet of sugar from their pocket, remark: What I have paid for is mine" smile, and add it to their hot drink elsewhere.
 We should not fdget or worry for we are likely to have to face condi- tioAs that are worse instead of better and self denial which keeps other millions of souls contented and happy should become a source of glee rather than a cause for worry or wretched : ness.
 The worst we can endure is as nothing compared with what. our sil- dicrs have to suffer and they do not compiain--why should we?

The wayside scenes were picturesque and interesting Ever changing from meadowland to hills, from dark to bright fields. Riding along in the wake of the setting sun, with the beautiful naples casting their shadows across your path. Every now and then stately elms rear their heads high above you, demanding admiration from all who love the works of na ture. As the sun gradually goes lower and lower over the distant hills, one fells as if she had arrived at Natures altar to offer thanks to Him who has given us so much. Here and there patches Of wild flowers which are immensely pleasing to the eye make a break in the sombre colorings of the trees Ev- cry now and then some small lake or pond lying like a mirror in the hollows between the hills comes to view, and when we crossed the many little brooks it was delightful to hear the music from the ripping, laughing water.

dens which our attitude toward them makes them seem too heavy to bear.
 There is no credit in bearing trials meekly since we can ban half of them and weep over none. We need to know better how to Sing than how to com plain, and to attune our hearts to John Burroughs hymn of faith:
 Serene 1 fold my hands and wait,
 Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea. I rave no more against time and fate,
 For To! My own shall come to me!
 Eliminate fear, for who should be afraid who is heir to the joy and the power of the Son of God?
 Learn to count your blessings, to enumerate the good things which have come your way. and to pu2h all the disturbing incidents out of memory
 It is our duty to sense what the sunshine of Joy means to us:. that it is life and health and spirit, as is the natural sun to the physical life of earth.
 He who is our Brother and Friend is the teacher of Lessons in Living" and in His category being resigned is as nothing to being resolute for good and receptive to the joy no one can take away.
