LADDIE.
ENJOYABLE TRIP MADE
 . TROTTlE.

Dear Social Cornerites: The middle of October I left North Abinton, &C., companied by my daughter as far as Roxbury; later l went to Dorchester, remaining with friends there a fort night.
 AS Hulda had been expecting me to visit her in her new home for some time, I just made up my mind that I would not return to North Abingdon until the long -looked-for visit was made, and we certainly improved every minute by way of conversation as we strolled about the town.
 Winchester is far different than had expected to find it. As entered the place I observed the high rocky hills, on top of which were fine residences. In fact. Winchester is residential town, and there are many fine estates, and so many pleasant places.
 Not day passed that we did not enjoy seeing some new route. getting back after an hour, at one time strik- ing into Broadway, after a grand and lovely walk on the edge of Mystic river On the riverside large willow trees overshadowed the walk. The park in

but when one of those returned ser vice boys opens his mouth to smile, l tell you, Sisters, it is a picture worth looking at!
 A laboring man, perhaps owning property and having a struggle to get along, with the thought of big family, rarely gets toAthe point where he can afford to put his children in the care of a reliable dentist from their earliest years. Here is where the school dental clinic would mean the saving of hundreds of dollars. endless suffering, disfgurement, and the bad digestion which invariably results from cases where people lack sound teeth to masticate their food.
 If some of the Suffrage workers who seem to copy the political tricks of the men voters would look above en- ploying their ballot in school elections, etc, to defeat somebody of the op- posite party banding together to bring about such reforms as school dentists regular visits, maybe I might take the stump for Equal Rights myself; and 1 assure you all. I'd never growl in case my tax bill grew a bit bigger, because the children in the schools were being taught and helped to keep tn teeth which God gave them and which most of them now seem to value so little.

COUNSEL FOR PERPLExEp.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: In thinking of writing to The Corner. I am wondering what I could write about. when there came to mind the letter from Perplexed, of some time ago, asking for advice in her perplex- ing situation. I presume she has had any quantity of. advice for like the man with a crazy wife, everyone knew what to do with her but him. self.
 Now, my dear Sister, yours is not the only case on record. There are thousands of them, and I have been called upon to advise many times: and my advice has always been the same Let the first consideration be- the children, if there are any. If you have not the means to take care of yourself and them, and make a home for them, better to stay with them hard as it may be to be obliged to stay with a pig for the sake of the sty The little souls were given into your care and protection and though trials and burdens may 5eomes even. these may be the means of our own deveI, opment.

 London was full of great houses vacant when the war ended. Income taxes did part of it, the fuel controller much. Who wanted a. 40-room house when the coal administration allowed only fuel to heat seven rooms. and when servants could not be had at any wage? So today many of the great places still stand empty. while there is a scarcity of middle-class houses; palaces are too expensive. novels no longer good enough.

BOSTON AND THE OLD SOUTH

Dear Social Corner Sisters: One ad- vantage of sightseeing in Boston is that the places of interest are so close together. From the Old Corner Book Store tosthe Old South Church, taper ing up above the stores, is but step.
 The church is huiit on the site of Governor Wipthrop's garden. The house had been torn down for fuel in 1775; and the land given to the Third Congregational society. on which to build their church.
 We are told that the place became e favorite one for town meetings.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: No one can ever wholly compass the art Of cooking. but a new tip and a new flavor adds pleasure to life. ! Some of The Bulletin readers may find the following recipes worth try ing:
 sugarIess Gingerbread: One and e-half cups flour, three-quarters tablespoon lard mixed with tips of fingers. pinch of salt and cinnamon, one-half teaspoon ginger, one-half teaspoon soda, three-quarters cup mo- lasses Add water until right con- sistency. Bake in moderate oven.
 Griddleeakes: Into coffee cup of sour milk put half a teaspoon of so da and stir until it foams. Beat an egg, add to milk, with little salt and tablespoon of sugar. Use either bread or pastry flour to make stiff enough to spread very little when dropped on griddle in tablespoons. Add half as much cream of tarter as soda to the flour. Have griddle hot and well creased and you will find the fritters light and delicious. Adding cream of tarter was told to me a year ago and I find they are not only much lighter. but finely favored, with no sus- picion of sour milk about them. Now have griddle cakes with syrup as a breakfast dish, or for supper, lightly lfsnrinkled with cinnamon and sugar 1 The children are very fond of them. < A Substitute For Meat Loaf: Twe cups cooked peas or beans. one cur cooked rice. one cup bread crumbs, one | egg, one tablespoon fat one-half tea 1 spoon or one teaspoon of rice. un-

Lessons of the Mar.

England has learned some lessons from the World War which it would be well for Americans to consider in the light of present economic disturbances, according to bulletin from the Wash ington headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 i ''The greatest lesson the British peo- pie have learned from the war is that of consumption, says Judson C. Welliver, writer of communication on which the bulletin is based. They have acquired the habit of being steadily employed at good wages.
 They have learned how to. spend their money carefully, sanely. thrifty. They have learned to save; the bond selling campaigns have taught that. Thrift came from ebriety, serious mindedness, and the necessity of stretching all supplies to make them go round.

WHAT UNCLE JOE REALIZED.


 Dear Social Corner sEditor4 I am perplexed by Perplexed's perplexity, and so is Mirandy; and from the re- plies I realized that calm waters have been by it very generally ruffled.
 I said to Mirandy: q have been married long enough to know a homely woman makes everything home like for her husband and her childrenl" Mirandy says with a sharpness: "Jos-eph!"
 "rn leave it to you if that aint so" said I. That's why I think Perplexed is good locker"
 Tt seems ito me-. said she, that your remarks are too personal, for you did not wed a handsome woman your self! Eve known handsome women who were fine home makers! Joseph, remember, handsome is that handsome does."
 T don't mean to insinuate nothing" said I. l"Now stop getting sensitive and get sensible! Yougknow this MT. Perplexed is only one of a million. and when he says. I've got a wife!' 1t sounds just the same as when he says I've got a dog! He is inflated and dazed with his idea of ownership. By heck. he ought to be made to look in the glass every hour for ninety days and see himself"
 Joseph , says Mirandy. "I feel sure that Perpleed is more like a henhawk than an angel. Patience is often the , highest way to do Gods will but we are told passion is the drunkenness of ] the mind There's too much drunken ness in that house.
