Editor Social Corner Thank you for. giving space to that kindly soul, Great Aunt Phena, to advise me in regard to economical ways of living in a rented room; and thank you again for letting me now reply to-that kind Sister.
 Evidently she is housekeeper speaking from a home where there Is plenty of space, plenty of time and plenty to do with. Except that I have running water in my room. there is no way to do my own cooking, or-what is more troublesome-to clean up after it. l cannot find space for a fireless cooker-except on the dresser or in the bed-and when once I tried an oil stove the best schemeI had was to keep the oil in a bottle. Then the wick got smelly, and my landlady objected to that as well as to odors from what I cooked. She is widow with means, so can afford to be fussy. and she frp- quently reminds me that men tenants are superior to women. remaining in | the house merely to sleep, and being willing to pay more. If I have fruit or vegetables. there are the skins, parings ! etc, to be reckoned with Have tried taking cold lunch for noon; but after sitting at my desk or typewriter all morning l surely need. fresh air and the chanse of going out toadinner

INEXPENSIVE RECIPES,

Dear Social Cornerites: As so many other readers have testified. I, too,, prize the useful and suggestive. re- cipes furnished from week to week by the members of the Social Corner For that reason I want to give the Sisters one or two of my own, useful recipes during these times.s when everything costs so much. Since to use more than one egg nowadays seems extravagant, let me tell you all of my nice One egg Cake: Into mixing dish put one cup sugar, add one egg, a heaping teaspoon of lard, one teaspoon flavor ing. Beat well; then add three fourths cup of cold water. Stir just enough to mix with egg, etc., add one and one-half cups Of flour sifted with a rounding teaspoon of baking pow der. Beat well-200 times is good rule to go by. Pour in pan and have the oven hot at first, then cooler after fifteen minutes from the time the cake is put in. To make marble cake, you can use vanilla or orange ffavoring, and after cake is beaten. take out about half the batter. adding one fourth teaspoon each of nutmeg, clove cinnamon and sa1lspice This is fine with butter frosting also good fiav- ored with rose, and with mocha frost ing.
 creamed Beef-Scrape perfectly
 lean beef to pulp; mince; put in a pan with salt, pepper, one tablespoon 5oi
 water two tablespoons of richs cream;
 butter the size of an egg. Cook two
 minutes, stirring constantly. Add ont tablespoon of cracked dust, and one l teaspoon of made mustard. Our folks
 like this to eat on toast.

USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HELps.

- Dear Social Corner Sisters: Several weeks ago, one of the writers in The Corner told of the practical value of a fireless cooker in saving time, trou- ble and money.
 TWO other useful devices are of great help. especially in a large fam fly. One of these is the bread mixer. which enables the household to have good, home made bread, which so many of the Sisters have praised. In home where there are children the young folks think it just fun to turn the crank, and the bread is ready to set to rise in very short time. ss
 Then that bugbear dish washing. which nearly every housewife dreads, loses half it's terrors if there Is one of the simple drainers at hand. Dishes well washed and rinsed, put to drain in this wire device, need no wiping, but dry perfectly and quickly cannot catch dust or lint, and. are ready to put back upon the table when wanted.
 The first cost of these useful house hold implements is soon covered in what is saved in time. strength and fatigue.
