with the proud air of on who has
made a big sacrifice for the sake of
her country.
Now in many cases the buying of
this number of bonds. even the pur-
chase of a single bond has meant a
real sacrifice. But Mrs. Jones knew in
her heart that She bought those bonds
simply because the investment was a
convenient and safe one.

CHRISTMAS SALADS.

Dear Social Corner Ststn-s: These salads for Christmas may to you be self commendatory:
 Celery, jelly and nut salad: Simmer one cup of celery stalks in three cups stock or water with one slice of onion, two slices of carrots and sprig of paNsley. Strain and season with salt and pepper. To one pint of HQuid add one tablespoon granulated gela- tin dissolved in one-quarter cup of cold water and strain again. Tint green and mold. When unmo1ded garnish with English wairtuts and dress with a mayonnaisa dressing. Surround with lettuce leaves. A sprig of holly makes it a pretty Christine $ salad.
 Here is another delicious Christ mas salad: Spread cream cheese one quarter inch thick on large, lucious slices of pineapple, place on bed of hearts of lettuce leaves. Cut sweet red peppers in strips and arrange as poinsettias on top of cheese. Fill the center of pineapple slices with boiled dressing, in the center of which put a stuffed olive.
 A good salad from the South:
 One envelope of plain gelatin, juice of two lemons, one ne-thirl cup grant, lated sugar one cup celer.s cut fine one-half cup chopped nut meats. one quarter cup chopped apple. one-half cup chopped sweet peppers, one quarter cup chopped Spanish peppers Soak gelatin in one cup cold water for five minutes. Then dissolve in one and one-half cups boiling water. Add sugar and lemon juice. When jelly is beginning to set add all other ingredi- .ents and pour into individual molds Serve on endive leaves and garaisn with one or two holly leaves with berries.

A FEW HELPS IN. .NEEDLEWoRK

Dear Social Corner Sisters: When making baby's bootees, run .t piece of narrow elastic around the ankle. It is very handy and never unties. Do not make it tight enough to make a red mark.
 I have found in embroidering any kind of sheer material it is better to haste it on heavy waxed paper: you will find that this is not in your way the same as a loop. The needle passes readily through the goods, but slides off the paper; and the work can be bent into any shape and not Wrin- kie. I also baste chiffon and geor- gette crepe on paper when I have any sticking to do. This is quite a help. \ Another help which I know will be appreciated is this: When working a pattern in crochet which requires a chain on which to work, crochet your chain and then whip your crocheteN chain to a piece of muslin. After your work is started rip it off the muslin.
 Make your piece-bag of mosquito netting. You can then locate the piece you are looking for.
 How to make balls of yarn with clipped ends: Wind the wool 30 to 40 times around two fingers. slip off and tie with strong thread, very tightly dIOulO tHSl OtuISIs Cllp IH6 ends or the loops: shape the ball, by rolling between the palms: and continue clip ping and rolling until it is perfectly round. If to be used at the end of T cord this should be tied in with the thread. Cut two round pieces of card board the size of large spool, make a hole in the center and sew your worsted through the two, then clip the outsides of the card board; then I tie a, thread through the center and clip it again. The number of winds varies" with the sizes of balls made.
 How to finish hems of dresser scarfs: Crochet a chain the length of the hem, haste the latter, and then sew the chain right through the mid dle on the machine. This can be done in any color of thread and makes a real pretty finish; or stitch rickrack braid on the ends of the scarf and then crochet into the scalIops
 In using an old-fashioned crochet hook your hands are sure to get cramped. I took some sealing wax and dropped it on the handle, mold . ing it while warm to my thumb and finger. Now I find I can use it with out any difficulty. This seemed to remedy the trouble. -
