THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: This is my first attempt at writing for the Se- cial Corner, although have thought of it a great many times. I have just been reading the last letters of the Corner and they were fine, as usual. : am going to write a little about my childhood days. They were spent: in Timbertorou.
 wonder how many of the Social Corner Sisters know how to cook and bake by an old fashioned fire place and brick oven?
 My mother died when I was few days old, and then 1 lived with my grandmother and she had no use for stoves, and that is how I can write about the fireplace and brick oven. Every Saturday the oven was heat |ed a fire was built in it just the way
 I've build fires in the stove. It burned about two hours. then the fire was
 taken out with 8 long handled sf1ovei and the large loaf of brown bread was
 put in the oven first, then a kettle of
 pork and beans. then the pies and
 bread.
 The large loaf of brown bread was left in the oven all night and we had 1t with the pork and beans for break fast Sunday morning. It was warm and tasted so good.
 These grandmothers certainly knew l how to cook. There were no fancy dishes such as we have now, but good Iold fashioned cooking.
 l Another thing my grandmother had
 no use for was a lamp, she was SC afraid it would get tipped over so we used to knit and sew evenings by a tallow candle. It used to give about
 as much light as lightning bug, but
 we were satisfied with it. have some letters that were writ ten over one hundred years ago, and 1 if 1 write again I will tell The Corner about them. l knew I must sign some Ename so I have decided on | SILVER LOCKS.

THE OPPOSITE OPINION.

Dear Editor Social Corner: I was glad to see Billie ands Etta Barber come back into The Corner with an opposite opinion. This is what The Corner needs great deal more of.
 The opposite opinion is always in- teresting and usually somewhat net tling. It keeps people from going to sleep. The polite, the designing and the dead have no use for the opposite opinion. I agree with Etta Barber. When it comes to clothes or clawing one another, it is all a family affair. Our harmonies and our discerds are all our own, and only the unwise will ever venture to interfere
 see some of my neighbors getting joy in ways l couldn't, and doing things l don't approve of; and they do not seem to need my approval; and they certainly can get along without my interference. Since they do moi object to my being an amused or an astonished spectator, seem to be realizing upon their conduct all that should come my way.
 It is healthy and educative to dis cuss all questions with an earnest and tolerant spirit Reuben's Wife would not as soon put paris green in her cake as a tablespoon of whiskey-the diff ference in the two poisens makes the tablespoon of whiskey less wicked an6 less criminal If Reuben's Wife had thought the matter out fully she would have said knowing the danger, hel conscience would not allow her to use whiskey in food
 There is no harm done in being . little careful what we write.

IL Is strange how things do happen sometimes. A sailor beckoned to me yesterday and inquired If l ever knew a man named Bill Ball?H

He said speak of Bill Ball because everybody knew him as Bill, not Will liam"
 T do know him." said I, flor I am Hezeliah Olds. and he is my father in-law."
 That's singular, isn't it?" said the stranger, that ] should tumble upon the very man I was in search of" and he passed me a note, for which ] thanked him, and then I gave him a cordial invitation to come right hon.S with me to dine: but he declined upon the plea that his time was limited and his mother wanted him every minute so I asked:
 Flow did Pa look in uniform?"
 He looked every inch a soldier said he. -and talks about canning the kaiser"
 T hope he'll do it. and that Unole sam will lose his can opener," and he went of laughing heartily over the re- mark.

MOUNTAIN LAUREL.
rHoueArLEssMEss OF SPEECH.

H
 Dear Sisters of The Social Corner I would suggest few items concern. ing tlleughtlessneB of speech in the presence of young children Many a child has had it's tender little heart grieved by some few words spoken though not intended to wound the feel ings. These impressions on the young mind are often life lasting.
 Perhaps we can all look back 10 our childhood and recall how some one, a grown-up, gave utterance which we now might say, it would have been better had they not said it. I have in mind just nov an illustration which think good example of how care less some are in expressing their opinion too freely before children I had 9 .neighbor who was the mother of little twin girls, one was quite pretty looking, and the other had livery plain features-they did not look at all alike. Frequently, it happened that people would say, in the presence of those two ehildnen:
 Ruth is the pFettiest, I like her l , the best" while the other little tot | with her. sweet disposition was not noticed, nor did she express her grief till alone with her mother, then, switf her tears and ssas. she would say: l Mamma, nobody loves me- ] This was certainly a grievance tt 1 the mother as we'll for it pained hei I Ito see this child so often heart =hrok l en.
 l In consolation the mother woult
 Say: 'SWell, Inez, God will always low
 you just the same, and so will uaanlm;
 and papa"
 If people would take the secon,
 thought, just a little caution, and thin I how those expressed opinions are go
 ing to sound, and the effects after
 wards, surely they would be careful
 for 7grownzups do not like their feel l ings hurt, neither do children I can frankly say, right here, it wa
 my earliest teachings from my mothe \ lnever to make, fun of anYone's infirmi I ties, or to initiate a lame person, t Ecriticize 6 redhead or refer to a cross s eye, or anything else which a persol ii or child cannot help. and conceEnin { which they may be very sensitive. ! There are people who find it a de
 light, often among big children, t A tease others of their impeFfeetions : do think it most unkfnd, with sad re Lsu1ts, that people do not use nor lI IscaaTnon sense and avoid these thing
 which may finger for a lifetime in tn
 memory of wounded hearts.
 l With .kindest wishes.

 her own or the family mending to att tend to, or who just likes to sew.
 First of all, unless one has an apti ' itude for carpentering it is well to have carpenter make the frame. A tbree-plv screen is a convenient size, and it should be low. so that all it con- tafns may be within easy reach of the woman who likes to sit in low chair sto sew. The screen may be covered with chirtz or cretonne, to match the hangings of the room. Then it will seem to take up eYen less space in a small apartment, for it will fall back into line with the other furnishings, rather than stand out as an individual, demanding special space privileges.
 A good scheme is to cover the screen frame with flat layer of the oretonne on each side of each section reaching to within about six inches of the floor. Tack this cover on securely with small, brass headed taeks. Then make ever so many little pockets, of various sizes, and fasten them securely. They will Eold thread and mending materials and all sorts of sewing paraphernalia- Larger pockets will be useful for hold ing small pieces of work or mending. The pockets should be cut larger than tEe space which they are to cover |and be either gathered or plait- led on. It is 8 wise scheme to use a narrew elastic as running string for the tops, as that gives a heater, tidier appearance, especially when the pockets ars well filled. One lrnay hang such things as needlebeok, small scissors, wax and emery on long ribbon, from jackson the framework A few brass hooks will, also. be found useful for hanging up shears and other things that one does not wish to attach to cords or ribbons. The sewing screen should be fairly light. but broadly enough built so that it will stand firmly It may be moved about lat will and, as the pockets are all on one side, it may. when not in use, be set with that side out of sight and SC present a neat appearance no matter how full of work it's pockets may be. It is really R great convenience to have all one,s sewing implements arranged neatly within reach as one sews, and lnot be obliged to hunt through box ol basket or table drawers for what one wishes. With the screen the different necessities may be so well sorted that one may put her fingers upon what she desires almost instinctively.
