II a small tear appears in a child's
rubber, don't throw 1t away, but mend
the rubber by sewing on the inside a

When mending tear in child's
plaid dress, several colored threads in
one needle give good results.
When making an omelet, allow a
tablespoon of hot milk to each egg
and eggs win go farther.
When wipins the face, never rub
the eyes. Just pat them gently with
the hands or n soft towel Avoid any
thing that will bring the blood to the
surface and do everything that will
encourage the lids to become thin and
white, for then they will become more
beautiful and the brilliancy of the eyes
will be much increased.

A WINTER DOOR.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Under a
veranda l saw today something un-
usual-two pieces of leftover roofing
paper fastened on the outside OF a
wire screen door--the door even with
door frame or casing, the paper Tapped
by two inches on to house, the roofing
paper coming three-fourths up. You
could see over the top and through
glass door into a sunny kitchen. The
roofing paper was fastened upon the
screen door with bright tin washers
the size 81 T. five-cent piece. and the
paper was thickly covered with a sort
Of coarse silvery sand which the sun
, made sparkle. The lap covered the
screen door edge, thus preventing the
cold from creeping in. No hinges to
take off or door to put away; a com
binatioE screen and storm door. You
all can see this door going from Nor
Wich to Willimantic if you are at all
curious.
Yours fos the odd and beautiful.

SUGGESTION FROM BETSY
BOBBEw.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Doesn't
it seem good not to be frozen in now,
as we were last winter? These last
few days have been almost like spring.
Perhaps that is what brought Bee out
last week. Hope she stays out now,
and will write again.
l wonder if Club No. Is hostesses
will mind if / make a suggestion: AS
Feb 18th is so near Valentine day it
seems to me it would be a good idea
for each Sister to bring a valentine
to the hostesses. That they may not
detract from the value of the dona-
tons, they should either be home
made or of the penny postcard variety
and should be comicaI rather than SEN
timental in design
They might be put where the Sis
ters could inspect them during the
meeting.

He's getting ready long before
The choir stands up and sings:
Hes pressing buttons pushing stops;
Hes pulling here and there,
And TESTING all the working parts
While listening to the prayer.
He runs mighty big machine,

a mass OF boxes, pipes ana tubes
Ana sticks and Stats and strings;
There's little whistles for a cent,
in rows and rows and rows;
l'i bet there's twenty miles of tube
As large as garden hose.
There's scores as large as stovepipes,
and
There's lots 50 big and wide

For miles the road was as level as
the house floor. We would come to Il
high hill looking from the distance, but
when we took it we did not heed it
and how much like life all things look:
so large till we get to them, then they
roll away.
We passed through many beautiful
villages with their restful elm and
cah trees and little white churches
with their spires reaching toward
heaven to show US that all good comes
from Above from the Spirit of Love.
We passed through some cities that
showed just the reverse side Of life.
T assing around Seneca Lake a grand
body of water as blue as the heavens
above us, and its waves made us think
of our old New England state; then

the deck so that we all had to go be
low; but it certainly was grand.

Which do you think was abused the

truck gardener was numerically beat

the morning, and he was no doubt, in
hurry to get to market, so he could
sell his cabbages, carrots, berries tur-
hips and corn. His old horse Aeented
to be tired, and he baked at the foot
Of a steep hill. The pavement was

struggled, and beat him severely, when

him to, Stop it! Stop it'll" she
