 I am wondering why Hulda is so long silent. Surely you got my let ter. Can sickness have overtaken you?
 Sister Roxanna, Tidy Addly, Maine Lover, Wandering Jew. how goes the time? No doubt you find it filled with various occupations.
 Perhaps a little description of the place I am at present remaining may not come amiss: The state road, which is concerted, running parallel with the house. On the porch are ramblers which are just beginning to bloom. In the back ground river runs and crosses (not far from the house), un- der the state road. emptying into a large pond some miles distant. This pond has. always been a fine place for picnics, and called Island Grove on | account of nice grove there. Boats are in vogue, but the pond is very deep and treacherous for swimming | unless we'll skilled.
 ! In my description of the place ] ! did not mention the beautiful shaded streets consisting of large naples and | many elms. A very nice drive fol any Sister. as the state road runs fol miles.

AN UP-To-DATE PANTRY.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Just a few lines concerning the con- veniences of the pantry which are a help to me.
 To those housekeepers who are not very tall, likewise short arms. espe- cially do we like to have all our dishes and cooking utensils within easy reach. Most modern pantrys are not very large; also, the shelf room Is limited.
 I have recently added some hooks underneath the pantry shelves to hang the cups on. and find it makes quite little space on the shelves. Platters always stand edgeways, with a tack to ! keep them in place. Every available space in the pantry l is utilized to hang up small articles l such as egg beater. small tunnel, small 1 saucepans, and anything that is fre- quently used, so as to be in reaching | distance and to avoid getting a stool to | stand on.
 These minor conveniences count ir
 the busy hours of the day, and one ot i the best rules for the pantry is to have 1 a place for everything and try to keeI l those things in their place. I think nothing is more satisfactor, well regulated pantry; yet it seem. 1 about the easiest place to neglect. 1 We might keep our clean shelf papel bit longer if we were more careful il | setting down wet or dirty dishes. I
 is always the ounce of prevention tha is worth a pound of cure.
 With best wishes for an up-to dat
 pantry.

SURPRISED,

Dear Sister Hinkey: I am sorry you when I read some of your family didn't like the recipes sent you by One Who Has Saved" She is one of the best cooks of The Corner. You should eat one of her pies. I wish you could taste her soup. It is certainly won der how she makes all those nice eat ables.
 l can take her recipes but somehow I can't get them to taste like hers. ] guess that is the case with you.
 She is no more nor less than Uncle Sans Daughter" Don't tell anyone I told you who she was.
 I am like General Pershing in re- sponse to the boys question, "Wher are we going homer" General Pershins arose, and holding up his hand, said Now in regard to you going home, don't want you to tell anybody; I an going to make an effort so we will al go home together"

 I'D ToK YOUR ACID-sT0MAcD

Mary had never been to my house be- fore to a picnic, and it was indeed a pleasure; also, to the others who came for the first time.
 Keturah, I am afraid. failed to hear of it. for she doesn't have the paper.
 Was disappointed not to see Saman- tha.
 F'loradora: I wanted to come to your picnic, but if you could have seen me! The painter was here and I had all my pantry and kitchen dumped into my dining room. I can sympathize with anyone who lives in a trunk. for I lived in a heap for five days. but I look enough better for it. I know you must have had nice time and I was dis appointed that I couldn't come. If you have it again I hope things will be different here so I can come. Aunty No. 1: Hope you are not sick from the picnic. I haven't heard a word and am wondering.

ANSW FRS.

Dear Viola: Your query about the Priceless Cooker. You can get an aluminium steamer, steel cover ed with mottled blue porcelain. Write some dealer for a catalogue. l think they will send you a catalogue. Dear Sister Hankey: I am sorry you did not succeed in getting the things together so as to satisfy the appetite of your family, nevertheless. I would try again. It is rather hard to take another persons recipe and at first have it satisfactory. I have yet to fail in things to eat. I usually please the crowd; so perhaps your crowd might like your recipes better. You will have to use your own judgment in the seasoning, etc.
 There was letter from "One Who Econonizes," on the way she cooked her meat. It is a fine recipe for tried it. Perhaps that would help.
 I was surprised when I saw Sister viela's letters" in The Corner. intended having them mailed to her but never mind, perhaps some othe Sister might be helped by them.

A RHuRARR HEEL

Dear Corner Friends: No doubt you are all planning for the annual picnic, and my best wishes go with you in every endeavor. It is a lovely place at the lake. where I understand you are to meet and exchange greetings.
 l shall not be able to attend, as I have a rhubarb heel. You never heard of one? Well. you try to follow The Corner Sisters various recipes for cooking that plant and you may get one if not two of them.
 I think One Who Saved can find a better use for three hundred tin cans she has in her cellar. as I have heard that they are in demand in some
 places. It seems to me they would make good scrap heap.
 To A. P. would say. in answer to her query, What are you going to do about it?" I am of the opinion that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" Let those who want to vote do so. if they can, and let those who detest the thought of it re- main undisturbed.

OPPORTUNITY.

 With doubt and dismay you are smit- ten,
 You think there's no chance for yea, son? Why, the best books haven't been written,
 The best race hasn't been run; The best score hasn't been made yet, The best song hasn't been sung; The best tune hasn't been played yet Cheer up, for the world is still young No chance? Why the world is just eager
 For things tHat you ought to create; Its store of true wealth still measer Its needs are incessant and great; It yearns for more power and beauty More laughter and love and TO- nance More loyalty labor. and duty, No chance? Why there's nothing but chance! For the best verse hasn't been rhymet yet,
 The best house hasn't been planned The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet.
 The mightiest rivers aren't spanned Don't fret and worry, faint hearted, The chances have just begun; For the best jobs haven't been start The best work hasn't been done.
