Bolivia and Chile Have Not Made Ad-

quircs Scaport-ErToncous Report

La Paz, Bolivia, Nov. 1.-The an sWer of the Boliv an foreign depart ment to inquiries by Peru concerning the report of an agreement between Bolivia and Chile by which Boliva ac- quircd a port, according to the Timpo, says simply that no agreement has been made With Chile but that Be- livia does not renounce her right to continue negotiations to obtain the the port, this being entirely a nation al question. La l}azon says the Chil- can min stcr at La Paz visited the for eign office Friday to obtain an explan- ation of the Bolivian answer to Peru and asked if the answer implied re- fusal of the basis of the agreement proposed by Chile.
 On November advices received in Washington said that Chile had ced~ ed to Bolivia a strip of land north of the province of Africa, giving Bolivia an outlet to the Pacific. The Bolivian legation in Washington disCredited the report and the Chilean govern ment the next day issued categori- cal denial of such cession.
 The Bolivian foreign minister de- clared Sunday that no treaty had been entered into with Chile but said pour parlers had been initiated recently.

oL6-TIME SUNDAY AFTERNOON
 JOYS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: was interested in N, what Befaadette wrote from Baltic about the bold ways of so many girls in public places. and want to say that 1t Is sad to see such pretty and well dressed young women walking about the streets during near. ly every Sunday afternoon. flirting ogling any boy who comes along, and showing in some cases very bad train- tng.
 What has become of the old fash. toned and good mother, who used to make sunday afternoon one of the most delightful and sunny spots of the whole week? Who would sop corn, make naelasses candy with the willing help Of the younger members Of the family, read or tell some interesting story, have a household "sing.'' and in varions other ways would make SSfi. day afternoon a time of quiet happi- ness for husband and children In such home. the young folks showed ne disposition to wander out into the streets, or to display bad naannes and get into bad company. It meant more work for mother: but the mothers of thz past generatidh did not hesitate to take on a little more work. if they could make their home folks happier.

CLUB No. f'S NOVEMBER MEET.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Another red letter day for The Corner has been entered on the page of his tory. It was a pleasant gathering Of sisters and friends that assembled at Franklin hall Willimantic. on Nov. 12th for club meeting.
 As usual, they came from all direc- tions, and by various ways, steam, trolley and auto. besides those who lived near enough to walk or drive. They arrived by twes and threes till near the noon hour. Most Of the Cor neYites had some kind Of work to iIn- prove the rainntss while visiting. Se- linda, witl1 her assissAAtS was aseut the busiest members Of the group for their skiiful hands prepared the long table spread for the excellent dinner which was served and enjoyed by al1. repeat, it was a long table. but not siff1icient to accommodate all at one sitting. When the first members were assigned 10 their places and ready te, partake of the tempting food we all joined in singing the Doxelosy. Every. b6dyss appetite seemed excellent as thes hot baked beans, salads and bis cults passed along. Hot coffee was favorite oe the menu. as some sister was kept busy. with her large pitcher, reflling the many cups. The variety of cake and pie was iIi evidence to suit all tastes.

VISIONS OF THANkselvtNc.

Dear Social Corner Edi.o.: Nore ef the days Ee celebrate remain the same. IL does not take long for any hoiy day to become chaAged into a iiSi- i6ay.
 Tine devout spirit which marked the fifss Thanksgiving and many there after was inspired by hardships and Perils Of which we know nothing hence we do not have the feeling Of gratitude and thanksgiving which our .forefathers had. and there never has Thanksgiving ike the first. In Thanksgiving days on, close esamira- ton We shall find there are ne substi- ute.
 Our 3orefathets went to thA woods for their turkey while we go t6 mar. ket--theirs was the reward of a hunt Wllile ours is a tax demand of frots
 75 cents to $1.60 a pound. They car
 ried guns for defence. and ws carry goif-s sticks for pleasure. < Following the passing of the early perils come the family reunions and the Thanksgiving fax-hunt, afi ini4 provelnent upon being themselves
 hunted by the Indians.
 As the oceas sion reeedes frens the conditions under which 1t was estab- lished it loses it's devotional character because the harrassed man feels the 1 uncertainty of life more than did the
 first settlers. and yet no man since time was has been sure of life from sunSup to sun-down. Death. Ike Da- | inacies, hangs his fnenac;ng sword above us by a thread and none or ue can, know when 1t will fall and cut us of.
 The Thanksgiving reunion of fanai- lies was joyous habit which, aliens do not understand; and tho Thanks-
 giving sport ot fox-huEting has given
 wax to modern sports, less strenuous l but, perhaps. just as ezhilerzting. 1 It will not be long. before every vestage of the Thankssiving 6ay oi 1 the Puritans wili have passed away
 And 1t will be but beautiful memory but the character of the Purltaas flsf l given form and strength to our Amer. | ican institutions which ws pray may ] last as long as the Republic itself.
 Every lover Of liberty should bs
 thankful for the inheritance which
 they established for the oppressed ei all nations.

WAYS OF ECONOMY.

Dear Self Supporting: Your short article in Saturdays Bulletin was So appealing that 1 felt I must write to you, if only few words. You say. q get good nourishiug meals, yet am hungry most Of the time" It must be that you do not have the right Kind of food: also, your expenses take all your salary.
 Why not have 8 girl cfum take rooms with you. divide the expenses, and have 2 cheerful companion?
 Cereals are so easy to prepare for breakfast-Grape nuts. shredded wheat biscuit, Quaker pats. the latter cooked for few moments the night before. then heated over hot water !n the morning. the others covered with hot water, then add hot milk and q. tea spoon of Kare syrup Is very appetizing. 4 slice Of bread and butter with a cup of coffee or cocoa Till make good morning meal. and only cost you a few cents. For dinner. a nice soup or stew with meat and vegetables well sea son. ed, bread. and for dessert rice. tapioca OF a triangle of pie will be great plenty, not costing over 25 cents. For supper, milk toast with cilese, slice of cake or ginserbread, will he less costly than meat and more healthfM.
 You can save expense by using a fireleSs cooker. You can make one that will answer aT your needs. 1 have been very successful with mine. and you can have good hot meals at little cost. If you have Perfection oil stove you could do all your cooking and not even trouble your lanSiady for hot water. or use gas for cooking. Hoping you can have a companion so as to divide the expenses, and have plenty of good food. anl.--. Yours sincerely. "

SENSIBLE PREPAREpNEss.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: With winter swiftly on the way. how many households would be prepared for q siege of sickness. if such eaiam- ity should all at once affiiet the fam fly? rn s.
 While it is well to be optimistic. 1t Is even wiser to face what must some day happen in every home; and look ahead in this matter of being able to respond: "Ready!" in case Of illness. accident, epide1nics. etc.
 Every home cannot. of course. set apart what one might call a hospital room; but there should be in every house a first aid kit. no matter how simple; there should be special bed linen, clean and convenient; special towels, old cotton or linen cloth; cot ton batting. and such little conven- fences as viii suggest themselves. Having these things in readiness isn't going to make anybody in the house hold get sick. as some of the supersti- 'tious may fear: hut being prepared may save many moments of pain and anxiety before a physician can be summoned. Wiser ones will not for get what is beyond mere sickness and be equally well prepared for even what Te all dislike to think Of!
