nANc,Ne KEEPS ONE SLIM.

Editor of The Social Corner: I have been interested in the various sugges- tions for keeping one's figure, given from week to week by the different writers in the Social Corner. Once somebody mentioned dancing; now to my mind this is the very best Ere ducern, except perhaps swimming, and that of course is out of the question except during the summer, if it is within the scope of many readers any way. .s'
 But everybody of every age and col or and condition has a chance to dance. The mother who wants her daughters to grow up slim and grace ful cannot do better than to send them early to some good dancing teacher. It will make all the differ ence in the world with the way they carry themselves through after life
 having an influence upon their walk besides giving them correct disci~ pline in standing. Best of all 1t will keep off that horrid flesh which is ev-

 It is a very true saying that you can judge man by the way he treats his mother. I have one my self who always thought the sun rose and set on his mother, and the same with his wife.
 I know it is possible to live with a mother-in-law for I lived four years with one, and I know she loved me, If for no other reason than that was her sons wife. If things were not always to my liking I turned my back to it. and had a deaf ear to what others had to say. And when she left us for good was just as sorry as her own daughter. Don't be selfish or jealous. If you do your life will be miserable.

GOOD COUNSEL FOR ARLENE \

Editor of the Social Corner: An Engaged Girls Troubles has stirred me to write and offer my word of ad- vice:
 Arlene N.. if you ever marry the young man to whom you are engaged I hope it will be because you love each other. and that you love each other because you are especially suited to each other. Social gain would be a most un- worthy motive for marriage, and his good looks should not influence you to marry him.
 You probably should not live with his mother,-,but if your love for each and am just beginning to get settled talk the matter over, together and
 settle it right. There may be some hurt feelings but ask God to heIT you to make the hurt as small as possible. and feel sure that it will bs better than a big. hurt after marriage Then let me entreat you both (yor to pass the word along to him) tc
 give yourselves without reserve t Jesus Christ, and let your Lords worl take the place of dancing in your lives | '~+~ -- ONE WHO CARES.

.A- couMrRY BOYS. ExPERIENcE.

Dear Social Corner Editor: Several weeks ago, I heard my sisters reading from your page something about a womans duty never to look ffunpy. That reminded me of 9 recent visit to some cousins in New York; and now
 my sisters have persuaded me to write to you about it.
 Both my girl cousins, work every day, and so do their mother and their grandmother; but, although the | Grandma has to ride down town ev- cry morning in the rush, often hang ing to a strap in the L car, she is as | bright as any of the girls in the big insurance office where she audits ae- counts day after day. In fact, al though every member of the family | has to work hard, it struck me as wonderful, to see how bright and ami mated each one was-never tired, all ways ready to go to the theatre, or to a dance in the evening. Maybe that is what keeps New Workers l looking so young-for you hardly ever i see what you would call a very old person there-except you go down 1 town to the very poorest slums, which
 now, as l read, they are going to get rid of forever.
 In my aunt's home, a little apart ment which cost them a big rent, |. | did not overload the rooms with i things to make trouble in caring for them. They all dressed well, for as i the Grandma told me. no man wants I to employ a dowdy or frazzled looking 1 woman. and so there was nobody i more particular about her teeth, hair
 and complexion than Grandma. while 1 her clothes always looked nice to me. 1 My cousin Bessie was engaged to a | fir7n a1sv | he was taking her out and was talk
 ing my other cousin, Gladys, we went
 to a beauty parlor," and while the two girls were getting doIled up, we i chaps walked around the block; the l girls had come by appointment and 1 there were many others there, wait ing their turn. After they came out of the little booths behind the red curtains, tell you those two girls | looked swell! Young Frank paid for the beauty business, and when we went into the theatre, we two fellows | were real proud to have such nice
 looking girls with us, their hair all
 waved and their faces looking so pret- ty. 1 suppose some old fashioned
 people I know would be shocked al
 this; but take it from me, every youns l fellow likes the girl who is with hin
 to look so nice that every other fellow
 will envy himl
 My own three sisters are the bes girls ever. and they say I've grow1
 fussy since that New York visit; bu
 just tell them that country girls ar,
 sometimes too careless. In New Yorl

FAMILY coMsIpERATENEss.

Dear Editor of The Social Corner: I was greatly interested some time ago in reading the letter of enc of The Corner Sisters about remember ing family birthdays That surely is a pleasant custom and ] can recall how such little celebrations uSea to mean in my own childhood.
 There arc many conditions of home life, as well as the happy custom re- ferred to. which make for general home joy and contentment. At the base of happiness in the home as else where, you are pretty likely to find unselffshness. ,
 But in most homes there is sure to be one person whose habits, tastes . words. Or deeds, are apt to spoihIHe'e enjoyment for all the others. Maybe it IS a complaining mortal who, being a bit out oe health, viii i magnify trials and sllfferings until every other member of the family comes to be martyr to her Cor his) Whims. @
 ! In one household of which I think i now, there is a careless daughter, who ] whea sine begins to npdress each night i will leave her jewelry in one room :! her waist or dress skirt. maybe. il I the next room. and finally will end a {! her own bedside to shed the last 0 { 1 much if she only would gataef4up he l belongings that night or the Rex l morning: but she lazily leaves thi l chore to some of her more tidy sisters or her busy mother. @
 Then I have known families wher the real bread winners those who ila, l to he out and off early each morning would be kept waiting while one o l the others who had plenty of leisur
 would monopolize the bathroom nay be yield to the whin to take a bat which migst just as well be taken late

A. NEW SALAD.

Dear Social Corner Friends, Ar:- Some day, when you want something new and tasty, please try the, follow ing. If you like cranberries as well as I do. you will be glad of these new recipes: s
 Cranberry Salad: Allow half package of gelatine to soak in one halfspint of cold water until dissolved. Pour over this one quart of boiling cranberry juice, adding the juice of half lemon. a dash of salt and sweet en to taste, and when cool add one cup chopped celery and one cup of broken walnut meats. It is best not to add the nuts and celery until the jelly begins to thicken. Mold and place on ice.
 Prune Tarts: To one and one-half pounds prunes use 2 tablespoons cran- berry juice, sugar to taste, make short paste. Scald primes. remove stones and take out the kernels; put the fruit and kernels into cranberry juice, add sugar; simmer for 10 minutes; when cold make the tarts. Any stone fruit can be cooked in the same way.

 How many and how many threatening things Lurk as we lightly mount and ride away Into the future from the known to- day? What fates whirr over US on wheeling wings; To what wtid precipice the trackledge clinEs; What gorge of windy darkness waits it's prey; What sorrow squats and what gaunt hopes decay, Below those uplands where tomorrow sings? And yet we laugh along or shout a brave Chorus of challenge to the winds that race, The Fates that circle. and the hordes of sorrow. For though We have to rouse old Death and ride With that lank rattlebones to serve as guide We mean to climb those mountains of tomorrow. Bartlett Adamson. in the Sydney Bulletin.

Tha Dreams Ahead.

What would we do, in this world of
 ours,
 Were il not for the dreams ahead? For thor4ss are mixed with the fair
 est flowers, No matter what path We tread, And each of us has a golden goal Stretching out to the endless years; And ever we climb with a hopeful
 soul,
 With alternate smiles and tears. The dreams ahead are what hold us
 up
 Through the strain of ceaseless
 flight; While our lips are pressed to the
 wormwood cup And storms shut out the light, To some 'tiS a dream high estate, To others a dream of a truce with
 fate,
 In ceaseless search for health. One dreams of hearth and a home
 to be;
 One sees but a golden store; While the burdened- toiler dreams of Where toll shall be no more So, ever 1t is, in some sweet guise, Hope hangeth her lantern high; Oh, the dreams ahead are the golden stars
 That help us to live, or die.
