The Joy OF Living.

To enjoy life VIE must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out Of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons
that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache
and Indigestion. A few doses Of
Chamberlain Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you a chance to realize the real
joy of living. Try 1t.

BACK OF THE COUNTER.

Editor of, the Social Corner: I have traded on, and off, in Norwich for good many years, not because l have thought it was the best market. but because it was the handiest.
 1 have always found the service in the stores very unsatisfactory because there was too little pen back of the counter, or anywhere el.t. In score of years of trade have met a dozen smart salesmen in the stores. There is a sort of a. silent, staring. what do- you want attitude back Of the counter, and if one does; not know exactly what he wants, I defy him to find out.
 The glad-to- -see-you trade sDiEt Is missing in half the stores of Norwich, and in too many stores only the old and readily recognized customer gets immediate attention. ."
 A town set on more hills and in more valleys than Rome eYer+knew should not become known as. a sleepy old place, at least in it's business quarters. ill less than three centuries. :-f 'a
 It is being walked up by new blood and new enterprise. and heaven knows it needs to be. A good third of the .bu- mess center, is now owned by enter prising aliens who have settled here and who are making real estate boom where it seemed to. be destined to molder and decay.
 Do you realize 75- per cent. of the births are of alien percentage, and that here in this dozing city all things are becoming new? A new business ~-a is dawning. and let us hope there will | be pep in it.

ENJOYS THE SOCIAL CORNER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is with interest that I read The Social Corner. Through its pages, we ob- tain different recipes, ideas and va rious information. and meeting with the club members, it is unnecessary to subscribe for any fancy work. maga zine. Some of the most beautiful work have seen at the clubs, all kinds, and everyone so willing to instruct you. One meets the different writers. young and old, each and all witb smile for everyone.
 Grandma H. and Aunt Mary two of the most beautiful characters one would wish to meet.
 I was greatly interested in Per plexed's letter, and think she has been given excellent advice from Aunt Mary and Saltwater. While writing I have in mind a friend who had. an insep- arable friend who was the means of parting she and her husband. They do not live in town. He left her with three small children; but she stuck to her children, and worked hard to bring them up, and today they can look upon a mother who cared for them through struggle and storms. We all have trials which are hard to bear and every heart knows it's own sor- TOW.
 What a great thing it would be if we could treat each annoying experi- ence as the oyster treats the grain of

T. U. meeting at Willimantic two years ago I was very glad to meet Mrs. Brown whom I regarded as a very dear friend She greeted me by my pen name and told me that she was Grandma of the Social Corner. Then l knew why I hada enjoyed her letters so much, although I had not been able to guess who the writer was.
 She was one who councilled us to not withhold loving care and kind deeds from those with whom we come in contact until they were dead, then bedeck their casllet with costly flow CTS which they could not enjoy or ap- preciate. She was a very genial, cheerful woman, one whom it was a pleasure to meet at all times.
 In the W. c. T. U. work she seemed to be very happy, and was always very efficient and faithful. Truly it could be said of her. She hath done what she could.
 I was very glad to read Great Grandmas letter short time ago in The Corner, and hope she will be spared to write many more.
 At the December meeting of Club No. we were disappointed in not sec ing Grandma H. and her daughters They always add so much to the en-, joymont of the day.

THE AWFUL TOP DRAWER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: A west ern humorist declared that King Ar thur could invent Round Table. but he wasn't smart enough to invent q top drawer in which a man and his wife could share the space without 1respass or snarling.
 Maybe so. But q friend l know has solved even this knotty problem in q simple and effective way.
 She has divided the drawer by sev- ersl fancy pasteooard boxes-such as those which hold handkerchiefs at Christmas, certain useful candy boxes and others Of that sort. Her husband has his half and she hs s hers. In each box is it's own contents--handker- chiefs. collar buttons. sleeve links. srn1icts. tie cl3sps etc. for thc man, while the several boxes for the wife arc made equally useful 10 catch the ,noussnd and enc things which always seem 10 revel in making tho ordinary .op drawer look as though it was ready to ride out" IS the saving is.
 In the family to which I refer there l. never confusion or wrangling about this catch-al drawer, for each article which it is supposed to hold is always in pla,e.
 Probably there are men not so orderly as the husband in this case but think in general the average man recognizes the advantage of having the articles like buttons studs etc. just where he can get them when in a bury and in case husband is not method icsl and orderly CmAybe spoiled by some mistaken mother who waited or him too much) the right kind of a wife can soon train him to habits of neat ness and system.

sand that gets in it's shell. and which it cannot exclude, cover it with pearl and make it as beautiful. or comfort able as possible.
 When trouble, sickness, sorrow, or financial disaster comes to our homes, and it seems as if everything was go- ing against us, how hard it is. for us to see the sun shining above the clouds. We feel as if everything was coming to an end, that there would be no more comfort or happiness for us. Yet. how few of us set down and count our blessings and health and our children.
 Are you going to let your troubles and trials, which are many, down you? Are you going to allow failure on your husbands part to worry the life out of you; and so devitalize you, that you cannot do the greatest thing you should do-stick to your children?

 For the babies, a soap doll of Turk ish toweling patterned after the fash ion of mothers gingerbread men" about eight inches long,. with black stitches for eyes, nose and mouth, few strands of yellow worsted caught to the top of the head for curls, and a slice of Ivory soap sewed inside to form substantial and useful body Baby has lots of fun with it in the bath tub.
 For children of the next age, rect angular bibs of Turkish toweling Cut the top little rounding for the neck, hem the ends, sew on tapes to tie with, outline some chickens or bunnies in color and crochet simple edge to match across the bottom. Only few minutes are required to make an at tractive bib, easily washed and need ing no ironing.
 For the housekeeper, loaf of hot milk cake with the recipe. It is quick to make, cheap. keeps moist and I'm always sure of it's coming out fine grained. It can't be told from sponge cake but uses only two eggs and a tiny bit Of butter. Put half cup of milk on the stove ito heat.

 In the city where I used to live there was a rich old gentleman. Uncle Wl- liam. suppose we call him. who had q number of nieces, each one expecting some Christmas gift from him. He was liberal and kind; but it soon grew quite a task to select presents tor so many so what did that clever old man do but begin buying gifts, by tie dozen. When he saw anything which pleased his :. fancy and which he thought his numerous nieces would like, he just bought the gifts in quanti- ties. Then there was no jealousy. for each girl knew on Christmas morning that what she had received from her wealthy relative was not one whit bet ter or worse than the gifts received by her cousins. It proved satisfactory scheme and could be carried out in case of a smaller number of relatives,
