TITS ON SEVERAL rHfsos.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: At some time or other most of the members will find the following suggestions valuable:
 For Suffering Corns: Many women suffer with soft corns and they are sure ly great annoyance as well as being painful. A good remedy is to shake tal- cum powder on bit of cotton and place it between the. toes over the corn. Keep this up and the corn may disappear.
 Tray For Sick Person: Next to neat ness and cleanliness in serving a meal to 8 sick person colors play, the most i'm or badly contrasting dishes on the tray A spray of flowers tucked into the fold of the napkin or bunch of flowers can be placed on the tray, but it should be small and not too heavy of perfume
 The Useful Hairpin: A convenient article to hold the spool when crocheting may be made from a hafr3in. Take a common hairpih and bend the two ends toward each other. Insert the ends of the pins in the end of the spool Slip the head of the pin over a button of your blouse and the spool will turn as the thread is used.
 Wrapping Silver: Before putting away spare silver. clean it thoroughly :; wrap fl up in dark blue paper with few cam. phor balls in the parcel and when the sii. yer is unwrapped. even months after ward, it will be found to be as bright a. when placed away. Filigree ornarnent, should always be kept in dark blue sof
 paper. %
 Best wishes to the Corner.

NONE or US PERFECrs

Dear Sisters of The Corner: If we 90 through life by the path of recrimination we shall never travel either pleasantly ,r swiftly. Whats the use of living in perpetual battles of reprisal? Why not Yet past wrongs and iniustices be past tl memory and all Why carry the differ ences of the past days over into the pres snt?
 Why not be generous and self-forget- tul and overlook that which made yester- day hard? Why, center attention on the slights and the harsh speeches of others? They are there, of course, for none of sur acquaintances, or friends. or mem ters of our families, are perfect. They sll will see things to find fault with, and 4fiH proceed to find it.
 But it isn't as it might be did we not Suffer from like imperfections ourselves. When the pot begins to call the kettle Nlack it's a sure sign that fault is on 10th sides. For the truly generous soul overlooks and excuses and refuses to hold Yrudges, Such things promptly are put | tnto their proper place in the very back sround of life, life which holds so many | things of more importance than sights
 and careless criticism and grudges seem .not worth more than the thought reces- vary to profit by them.
 1 It's only the person who thinks himself | perfection that is so hurt when he find
 that someone else does not approve ofhim l Why should we expect to please everyone
 when even the wisest and best on earti tave so signalIy failed here?
 Life must be largely made up of com I Vrornises and wise overlooking of differ ences. Sudden resentment and continued policy of retaliation bear only bitter frui
 and are not worth cAltivating.

RECIPES AND SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: am sending a few recipes l:
 Tomato Chutney: Two dozen ripe to- matoes, medium size chopped ;- six on- ions medium size, chopped; three red peppers, chopped ;0ne dozen tart ap- pies, chopped; one pound seed1ess rais- ins; one cup celery, cut fine one quart vinegar; three cups sugar; salt. Com bine the Ingredients and cook the chut- ney until it is thin and clear. Pour it into hot sterile jars and seal them.
 Stuffed Peppers with Corn: Take six large bell peppers and remove the seeds, rsix one can corn. one tablespoon of but ter and salt to taste. Stuff the peppers and bake in moderate oven.
 Tomato Pie: Stir two cups of corn meal and two and ore-half teaspoons of salt into six cups of boiling water and cook 45 minutes, brown one onion in hot fat, add one potind of hamburg steak and stir until brown, add two cups of tomat0es and season with little cayenne pepper. Fill a greased baking dish with layer of the mush then a layer of the seasoned meat and bake 40 minutes. A Good Polish for Hard Wood Floors i Melt together in bowl set in hot water half pint of tnrpentine. two and a hall ounces of powdered rosin and three I quarters of a pound of beeswax Do not let these ingredients come in contact with fire while being melted as they ara lnhammable. When melted apply with 2 soft cloth and polish with a brush.
 To Save Carpets, if possible always have an interlining of paper betweer floor and carpet and If it con be ar ranged it is a. wise plan to tu | .he car pet around occasionally to equalize tn, year.
 An excellent way of cleaning carpet I Is to scrub and wash them with tn, il following mixture. Put into a large | pan one gallon of water and add to i one pound of yellow soap shaved thi, and half a pound of washing soda. Le these boil together untl the soan an,
 soda are melted. Wash only a snal
 portion of the carpet at once and rins with clear water

home. In the first place, make good studs of some pure white soap and warm, not hot, water. Then put your sweater into that and swish it alsund gently When you rinse it be Sure that the water you use is of exactly the same tempera- ture as that in which you washed the garment.
 When 1t is clean, squeeze out as much of the water as you can easily, but squeeze very gently always and never,
 never. think of trying to wiring it. Then
 drop the whole thing into a clean cotton bag, an old pillow case makes an excel
 lent one. and hang the bag out in the
 breeze to drip and dry This method has
 several points of advantage In the first place, the sweater is not stretched nor
 pulled out of place in any way, as it usually is when dried, as some dry them upon a coat hanger. Next, the bag pro- tects 1t from the strong light and so pre- vents fading. which is big point if the sweater is made of colored materials. Then, when it is dry or, rather. almbst SO. it may be pulled into shape gently and spread out upon a clean sheet or towel on the table to finish drying. I ; o LAUREL BLOSSOM

TIE kKrpEs KITCHEN.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: know most of you will agree with nfe when say that the kitchen is one of the rooms of the house to- which the bride cannot home Those who don't think so before they start are liable to find it out by ex- perience. F.
 There should be a high stool with revolving seat to save many steps, a small ladder which can be made into a. chair or one that serves as stool is handy and saves bringing up the big stepiadder from the cellar. A comfort- able chair should be included if there is room as often One can bring sewing or g book into the kitchen while something is cooking and save unnecessary steps. The table should have a porcelain or zinc top with flour and sugar bins For the sink there should be a dishpan, dish strainefs, mop. soap dish and tin garbage strainer, For the refrigerator a nest of small china or agate bowls. There should be containers for spices l tea, coffee and dry cereals or glass jars will do for the latter, a bread box and a separate one for cake, a teapot and cof.
 fee pot and tea kettle not too. large fol l two. For baking there will be needed g board, rolling pin, four sitter, biscuit cut ter, glass measuring cup, measurini
 spoon, two cake tins and three layer oak, pans and three pie tins or glass dshe, and a, muffin or gem pan.s
 No bride should start housekeepin,
 without a food chopper. casserole, sev etal ramekins, an ice cream freezer ant
 a chopping board. potato masher, eg;
 beater, cream wfipper, ladle, strainer
 lemon grater and squeezer, can opener
 cork screw and, tea strainer. bread knif
 and spatdia, several pairing knives and large carving knife. a large wooden spoo besides several sizes aluminium or agat
 spoons is almost a necessity. Ther
 should be large fork for lifting roast , besides the smaller forks.
 II double boiler should be include i among the sauce pans, also a four qual ! covered kettle two sizes of frying pam pitis a pudding pan and a drip pan
 This does not include the brushe , soaps and cleaners, brocrns, nops, pail 2 ironing board and washing utensils an . the kitchen towels
