TAKE CARE IN LIGHTING GAS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Like Satur- day Eve I enjoy the letters soaamuch I wish We might have a full page. And really it does seem as though, with so many members, We should have, but I eX- pect those away on vacation do not have time to write and those like myself, who have no vacation, think they have nothing of interest to write about
 Norma gave us some good advice on cutting down the gas bills. Have often planned the same way myself. I read something the other day that 1 am going to pass on, thinking others may profit thereby.
 The gas bill may be much reduced by care in lighting the gas. Hold the lighted match to the burner, then. very slowly turn on the gas. If the gas is turned on full force before applying the match a slight explosion ensues, which affects the meter and sends it forward rapidly Keziah Doolittle: Your nice letter re- ceived and will answer soon. It seems Twice Twenty years since I was down your way.
 The Five Willows: Welcome to the So- 1 cial Corner. Let us hear from you often Curt: How did you enjoy the supper l Last Rose of Summer: You seem SC
 near and yet so far. Hope to see you
 soon.

MOUNTAIN LAUREL.
A DELIGHTFUL VACATION.

Dear Social Cornerites I am going to tell you about how l spent my vacation, as l have been quite interested in how the other sisters have spent theirs.
 ] left one Saturday morning from Norwich on the Central Vermont at 5.25 Mass, to attend the summer school The Young WOmen's Foreign Missionary Conference l arrived at East North field station at 9.25, where there was bus awaiting for all incoming trains, so that l arrived on the campus grounds at about Il o'clock, daylight saving tjne). l registered at tent 119. l was in The Aloha Camp, where there were about PIP girls. We stayed in tents. four ! girls to each tent. The furnishings of ] the tents consisted of four cot beds a chair, table mirror and the light that We had was from a lantern.
 The rising bell was rung at o'clock and We had our camp prayers in the | pine grove right in back of our tents at l Il5 and breakfast at 7.45. Then at g l o'clock 1 attended the Bible class and at | 10 the mission study class. At o'clock | dinner was served. We had all of our meals in Gould hall. From to , were | rest and recreation hours, for tramps, picnics, drives and tennis. Six o'clock We had supper and at 6.45 there were | the song service and sunset talks on | Round Top and at +7.45 platform meet | ings in the auditorium, with addresses | by missionaries. At 10 o'clock all lights
 were supposed to be out.
 All of these meetings were most inter ! esting. l also went on two very inter-
 esting drives while l was there. One
 was 10 Mount Hermon school and the
 other was the three state drive, through | keene, Hingdale N. H. and as far as Brattleboro, Vt ] stayed on the cam pus q week and then I went to the Louise Andrews camp, about a mile and a half away l remained there a week also. There were about 60 girls at this
 camp. Each girl helped share the light household duties. We had little log cot tages to stay in there. The one that l was in was called Kennedy cottage. A number of us girls would go down to the campus every day to attend some of the meetings of either the Sunday
 scheo Tor home missionary conference The day before l came away I went
 ever The Mohawk Trail with five of the
 other girls. We started at about quar
 ter of two. We took a lunch with us
 We stopped at number of places of in
 terest and purchased a few souvenirs climbed the tower where We could SCI
 the five different states and We took
 few pictures. which We had good lucI with. On our way back we stopped il
 Shelburne Falls at a little tea room ant
 had our supper Then we started or
 for camp again, arriving there at abou quarter past ten.
 : From the Louise Andrews Camp,

 Run a little tuck in a child's skirt and when the dress is washed should it shrink you can pull it out and have it the de- sired lengtt.
 Wher cutting sleeve turn the sleeve the iong way of the cloth so that each edge comes near the selvage and you can most always get one-half of sleeve out of the space if the goods Are one yard wide.
 In turning hem in napkins. rub well with soap then you have no trouble to hem them.
 To clean a sponge, rub thoroughly in- to sponge a fresh lemon; then rinse in water to which soda has been added.

FAMILY REUNIONS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: At this period of the year we note the many family reunions that are being held and the Old Home weeks held in various towns and villages. It is interesting to read of these pleasant gatherings and it becomes real pleasure to be a member and share, in a family meeting at an old homestead. Such has been my privilege again this year. After my sightseeing visit at historic Plymouth, I went down on Cape Cod to Sandwich, to attend the Tupper family reunion. The meetings were held on two days, some of them at the First parish church, which consisted of addresses and music given by promi- nent members, also business transactions The annual luncheon was held at the Daniel Webster inn, with it's amusing after-dinner speeches. which was a pleasing feature CT rjoyed by many mem i bers and friends who came from various states-Vermont. New York, Tennessee, Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachus etts, and I the lone member to represent the Nutmeg 1 Cape Cod being noted for it's ancient old houses, it is the pride and honor of | the TupDer association to own the oldest of them all. Built in 1887 at Sandwich, | the homestead 6f Rev Thomas Tupper, occupied by his family and descendants of the name for eight generations, a pe- | rlOu or Z6l years, sold in 1904 to other parties, almost wrecked the following Ii years, and then purchased in 1915 by the | Tupper Family association of America
 now completely restored, typical old | Colonial home. What a rare privilege for
 us of this day and generation to visit i this delightful ancient fireslde to ster
 out and in the doors, to go up stairs and l look from the same windows, to catch a
 glimpse of Cape Cod bay, the same fields
 and majesticev trees that other eyes have looked upon long years ago
 As our family party strolled about the dooryard and stood by the old we'll wt noticed the lilac bushes and the tiger lilies by the old stone wall and the, seemed to nod us a welcome and impress
 us that they, too, are descendants Vt

 with speeches and light luncheon toward. the closing of the day

 Many people of all families do not car

There are roses and roses and roses, Roses everywhere- Pick the finest. the fairest the sweetest, Yes. pick them all if you care.

Myosotis Is blinking and watching, With eyes all blue and gay. To sec if the Johnny Jump Ups Arc jumping and jumping her way. Yes. surely the Johnnies are coming, And now for a round in the plot With the blue and the gold and the purple Johnny and Forget-me-not Jack has broken the hold of the pulpit And now at the close Of day is baskins around in sweetness,

cd, but instead of filling the jars with thin syrup, fill them with boiling water i; and instead of sterilizing the jars for
 16 minutes, sterilize them for 30 min
 utes.
 Peach Marmalade-Drop the peaches
 into boiling water for about one minute
 and then into cold water to loosen the
 skins. Drain, remove skins and stones
 and weigh place the weighed fruit
 (with several finely chopped kernels for fiavor) in the preserving kettle, rinse the kettle in cold water before putting
 them in, to prevent sticking) and heat slowly. stirring and mashing the peaches with either a wooden or an
 agate spoon. Frequent stirring prevents burning. When the pulp is soft and thick, add sugar in the amount of three quarters of the weight of the peaches Chat is, the previous weight-when the skins and stones were removed at the beginning of the process). Boil until the
 juice is jelly-like when little is cooled on the edge of a saucer or until two drops of the juice drop from the spoon in two separate places at one time. Turn 1 into hot, sterilized glasses and let cool then cover the top with paraffin. (The paraffin must be very hot.)

BUSY BUT INTERPRETED

Corner Members: Between visitors and visiting I feel as if I had neglected the Corner for while I have read the letters with much pleasure I have not found the time to write for number of weeks
 I feel that each sister should do her part, so I am sending two recipes 1 think you will like:
 Baked Onion Puf-Six or eight on- ions two tablespoons butter one and ohe-half cups soft bread crumbs, one third cup water in which onions were cooked, one-third cup milk, two eggs salt, paprika. Cook onions in boiling salted water till soft. Drain and rut through a sieve. There should be one and one-third cups onion pulp Mel butter, add bread crumbs and liquid ant cook until thick and smooth Bea yolks of eggs till thick and lemon-col ored. Add onion pulp to mixture, sea son with salt and pepper and bring t boiling point Add egg yolks. Bea whites of egg till stiff and dry and fol, into mixture. Turn into buttered bak ing dish and bake in a moderate ovei for 25 minutes. Serve at once

CANNING TOMATOES.

Social Corner Sisters: When canning tomatoes, try baking them instead of boiling. The large ones will need to be halved. Granite pans are best and they keep their shape better and will not change the color in moderate oven from one to two hours. Put them care fully into the hot jars and seal at once. Jars can be filled with cold fruit, the cold pack, and heated slowly: some ex- tra fruit will be needed to fill when re- moved from the oven. This can be put in a pan. The tops can be kept on the top of the stove.
 There are seven varieties in my little garden at the back 6oor The cherry, red and yellow pear are fine preserved. The egg tomatoes are early and yield well Large ones are ripening slowly, the same as in other gardens. May the frosts tarrJ along the way.

DOING YOUR HoUsEwoRK.

Social Cornerites: Maybe it is differ ent with the Corner sisters but I find there is always the temptation when you are doing your own work to get out of the habit of having regular days for de- ing the various tasks of your house. work. It is simple enough to have a Monday washday and a Tuesday ironing
 day when you have wash woman en- gagged to come on those days, and with helper there is no temptation to get
 out of the habit of having Friday cleaning day.
 But when you are doing it all your self, and hundreds and hundreds of wo-
 men who have never thought of keeping maidless house are doing all their own homework nowadays there is always that temptation to vary from the regu- lar system Monday looks cloudy and so you don't get to the washing. It clears up later, but by that time you have begun some canning. Tuesday it rains in good earnest so it is Wednesday before you get to the washing. Friday you are just going to start in sweeping | when a friend telephones and suggests a shopping trip. You hope to be back in time to do little cleaning in the after nOon but your friend persuades you to | have luncheon downtown and then a mo- | ton picture tempts you to finger And i so it goes. You are your own mistress
 and in a way you have right to dis
 pose of your time as it suits you. But the house that does not have some plan
 for a days work always runs along with friction
 ] This does not mean that for very good reason you should not alter youl l schedule. nor does it mean that you should always have a Monday wash day l a Tuesday ironing day and a Friday clenaing day If in your household yoJ find that it is easier to clean on Sat urday or to wash on Tuesday then em phatically rearrange your schedule ac cordingly.
