GREETINGS FROM JIM.

Mir. Editor, and all of the members eArthe home circle, especially Old Sol, Rura5 Delivery, Nat, Ruth, The Little Spinster, Aunt Mary, and all the rest, wish you all very Merry Christ mas.
 Since Nov 11th I have felt like shouting or singing and whistling, be- cause this terrible war is over. and our dear boys are coming home again. Never in my life have I known of such a happy Christmas, when the angel songs are being fulfilled of Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth Peace Good Will toward Men,
 Let us not forget to thank the giver 'of every good and perfect gift for His unspeakable gift.
 Nat Billie, Merry Farmers Boy and Papa's Boy, we have not heard from you for some time. Here is a little device I rigged up to tell the time during the night hours, with d small electric bulb and some bits of wire l had; two dry cell batteries costing soc; one single switch, 4ec; total S1.20. These were connected up and by touching the button at the head of the bed I can tell what o'clock it is on a cold winters night without arising.
 Such lovely pumpkins and squash we. have this year and such pies that make me think of boci1ood days, Here is an original riddle Why should we eat good lot of pigs liver?, Because it will have a tendency to make one "plucky," So long. /. Yantic.

A NEW EXPERIENCE.

Dear Social Corner Editor: I was invited to attend the December meet ing of the Social Corner at their headquarters in the city. Although it was a stormy day. showing and rain ing, it seemed to make very little diff ference to the Sisters as there were about three dozen present It being near the Christmas season the enter tainment was suitable to the occasion.
 The ladies evidently make sociabil- ity the main feature of the society as all were made welcome and no one neglected
 After the usual greetings and intro auctions fine dinner was served by the committee for the day.
 After another social hour attention was. called to a Christmas tree at the end of the hall, and at about the same tune, a small Santa Claus. arrived who seemed very much at home, and caused no end of merriment
 A ticket with 9 number was given to each one, and when the number was called the holder went forward and received the gift. The numbers were called once more and each one responded with reading the poem or quotation accompanying the present These were greatly enjoyed.
 These Sisters believe in having a good time; and if they are fair rep resentatives of homes in their differ ent localities Eastern Connecticut has many bright and happy homes VISITOR

Whoever it falls in front of must other climax is reached, when he throws it back to the otker side again. Any failing to go on with the story without Q moments delay loses a man for that side.

REARING CHILDREN,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Much is said nowadays about child labor. I have heard people say Children should only play and stury until through high school.'' I have watched both boys and girls who have nothing to do, and when they are through school they are educated nuisauces. A girl reared never to wash a q sh, sweep a fio0r make a bed, or do any useful work, will too often turn ur her nose at mother, not remembering that her mother has Iabored for her since her birth
 The boy or girl who has been made to shoulder part of a parents burden is the one wEo makes a real man.
 Work in reason has never been 8 hirdrance to the proper development of children.
 President Lincoln's parents were poor yet Lincoln. who split rails, grew up to be a great man. responsibilities mean development. As the mother of both a boy and girl, l know what am writing About.

light as much as possible; too much heat will rot the damp pelt and strong sunlight will fade fur
 In summer be sure to guard them against moths; cold storage is best if in @ perfectly dry atmosphere. Heat dries out the natural oils that keep the pelt soft and pliable. They should be put away as soon as possible. The garret is a poor place to store them. Before putting them away, clean any spot or any tiny crumb Of food that may have fallen into the fur; shake well, hang in the sun and wind for several hours, lay them on flat sur- face and beat every inch with a fiat stick; after they are beaten, shake and hang up in the sun once more; then wrap them up in cotton or linen bags. If you have not cedar chest, put them in a cardboard box and paste a strip of paper where the edges come on the box. They should be looked at once in five or six weeks. The nat ural furs are more apt to be attacked by moths than dyed furs.
 Of all furs, otter is the best, and moleslxin the worst: the one having one hundred points, the other but seven.
 All water animals pelts have the best wearing qualities. Well up the list of durable fur is skunk. The red fox wears well even in it's natural state, or when dyed, and will give ex- cellent service.

GREETINGS FROM BLANCHE.

Dear Social Corner Members: There are many funny stories both verbal and written about gifts for the holi- days, that many times money would be more acceptable and friends could select their own presents, especially when living at a distance.
 It is well to remember the little ones, shut-ins and those along in years.
 We hear so much about there being no old people at presenN that one wishes children, young folks and some older ones could be taught that the spirit body is young and only the physical form that becomes feeble, and they should not judge them simply by their outward appearance.
 They would be reminded and realize to some degree that the fieeting yean would soon place them in the same condition, and thoughtful remem- brances would be appreciated perhaps more than in youthful days.
 A postcard message will 20 far at this season to cheer lonely hearts.
 A merry Yuletide and every good wish. RI, A,NLruE
