 From Waterbury we went up hill like a house roof on the start for Danbury. Up and down some dreadful hills we went until arriving at a three corners at the foot of one steep decline and right in the woods our ear began to smoke badly. 1n- VestIgatlon showed our oil glass cracked and our oil all leaked out. The Blue Book told us we were in the town of Woodbury. Josiah spied a house chim- ney in the woods at our right and sue ceeded in finding a house where quart of oil was purchased. The man came to the car with it and informed us that our car was sadly in need of overhauling. We knew better, but I didn't know but she mans need of work would cause him 10 hold us up there D the woods while he did it. But we escaped and arrived in Danbury about o'clock, with the sun shining brightly. Don't think would rare to live in Danbury.

 we walked down to S ferry and had 9 grand ride across the Hudson and back, just at sundown. We were told that the river was three and one-fourth miles wide at this place. On the trip back across | .he river we could look up and see the l lights at Sing Sing prison.

For the Labor day trir we drove to Norwich, crossed the river and on down to the submarine base Two submarines were near the shore and were the first we had ever seen. From here we went to Westerly and over the shore road to Narragansett Pier, where we stopped to take some pictures and watch the bathers. After that we trun. 1led Oil to Providence, where We stayed over night at the Allen house In ths morning We drove around the city little getting our first view of the Rhode Island state capitol. Then we went through Fawtucket, Woonsocket and Blackstone to Worcester and home through Wilbra ham and Somers.
 The thing I noticed most in riding through Rhode Island was the scarcit, of gaIden or field crops. It seemed tc be just mills tenement houses and pas lures. with pasture land that would feed numerous sheep or cattle all going t, waste, and other lands that in our stat, would be likely to have growing crop, were in Rhode Island left without culti vation.

LIYING AT PEACE.

Social Corner Members: You will re- alize that it is very commendable to live at peace with all our neighbors. One who wishes to follow the golden rule can scarcely do otherwise, whatever the proYocation. It is not necessary to be intimate. but simple kindness and cour tesy cost little and often pay large divi- dends.
 It goes without saying that it's com mendable to live in peace with our fam lilies. It is as much for our comfort as for theirs. Added to that reason is the higher one of moral obligation. We cannot afford to ignore it. And if We do find it hard at times to overlook little annoyances in the close contact Of home life, it may be that We are not exactly perfect and that they have to bear with us. you know. Sometimes We forget this. part of it.
 But it's most eommendable of all to live at peace with ourselves-provided we have high ideals. If we've failed to provide ourselves with a set of these in our scramble for the more material pos sessions of life, living will never mean more to us than a scramble and push ing for merely selfish ends. We may have a certain kind of satisfaction. as a well fed porcine youngster, grunts con- l tentedly when he has eaten to his ca pacity, or as the family dog lies down ir content after he has siyly stolen tho house cats bone.
 Not so very hattering to a human
 this kind of satisfaction, is it? Yet som' of us seem to be content with it, nevei knowing the greater joys beyond theil
 grasp until self is left behind. But i
 we do ,have a glimpse of the heights o | life even our struggles toward them
 will bring some measure of peace. an'
 the victories gained will pay for all thu l F. D.

CANNING PEACHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: If you haven't already started you are probably making preparations for putting up your winters supply of peaches if they can be obtained. My Canning isn't complete unless 1 have one or two baskets of peaches done up, and this is the way I do them, using the cold pack method.
 Select peaches of uniform size, ripe ness and color. (The yeIlow-colored ones make the riche--lookng product Put them in wire basket and dip into boiling water, holding them there from 1 to minutes; then cold dip at once and remove the skins, taking care not to cut into the fruit Halve and remove stones; pack into hot, sterilized jars and fill the jars with boiling hot thin syrup CMake the syrup of three cups of. sugar and cups of water, heating until the sugar is dissolved and then using at once.) Adjust rubbers and GOV CTS, partially seal, and sterilize under boiling water in, wash boiler canner for 16 minutes. Seal, and inYert to test for leakage. GA delicious flavor is ob- 1 tained by adding to each jar one or two l of the kernels from The peach stones. | Sliced Peaches-Follow directions
 given above, merely slicing the peaches l and putting them into the jars instead peaches are used on winter shortcakez
 or in various desserts

WATERMELON RIND PRESERVED.

Sisters of the Social Corner: There isn't anything nicer than preserved wa termelon rind: So many are delighted with it when served that l decided to send my recipe to the Corner that those desiring 1t might try it for themselves.
 Remove all of the pink portion and pare off the green rind from sliced wa termelon. Cut the white ring into one half inch cubes. Cover with cold water to which add salt in the proportion of one tablespoon of salt to each quart of water. Cover and let stand over night i; drain and wash thoroughly, changing the water several times. Cook in boil ing water to cover until rind is trans parent and tender and each cube whole. Drain we'll. For each pound of prepared fruit allow thEse-fourths pound of sugar, two lemons, one orange, one-half ounce of green or preserved ginger root and one cup of water: Slice the lemons and orange, discarding all seeds and chop the ginger. Cover with water and cook until the rind is tender. Drain and re- serve the liquor Make a syrup of su- gar, the liquor and water enouVh to make one quart. for four pounds of fruit. Cook until a rather thin syrup is formed, add the rind and continue | cooking until each cube looks plump and 1 full of syrup skim out the rihd and put into sterilized half-pint fruit jars | add the syrup drained from the rind to
 the rest of the syrup, add lemon orange and ginger; continue cooking until syrup I is thick. Fill jars to overfiowing; coy i CT, seal in the jars and store. Citron and

WAYS TO DO A TASK PROPERLY


 Sisters of The Social Corner:- There are some women who seem to be of the opinion that there is never more than one right way to perform any household task And of course that way is their way If you can convince them they any other way is better, they adopt it thenceforth to consider any way but this new way decidedly at fault They forget that several ways might be right. and that circumstances alter cases in homework and cookery as we'll as in other matters.
 For instance there is the housewife who keeps the ice in her refrigerator wrapped in newspaper because she says that it does not melt so rapidly this way. Another housewife insists that this is wrong for although the paper keeps the ice from melting. it also keeps the ice from cooling the rest in the ice box. Both points of view are really right. If you have only a a limited amount of ice which must last possibly till the next day, then it is a good idea to keep it covered with newspapers. placing the milk and butter; or what eyer else you wish to keep from spelling : close 10 the ice. However if you have enough ice and an ice box full of food il 1 is foolish 10 cover the ice for you spoil Soul iVuu "HHS EOu sdNe your ICt. Il you happen to have an ice compartment | full of ice and have not yet filled you1 shelves with food there might be gooc ! reason to cover the ice so as to prevent | it from melting.
 So you see there are two sides to tht | question. as there are to many other, concerning housewifery Your way may be the best way for you, while for som, ! one else another way may be best Ant | remember that there always may be a still better way that is yet to be dis l covered.
 Best regards to the Corner and all it | members

TIDINGs FROM A LONG TIME MEM
 BER

Sisters of The Corner: July 10th I left North Abingdon with my son and
 family, going by auto to Connecticut, a distance of a hundred miles. We started
 at a. m., arriving at Mansfield Depot at 12. AS we went across country the view of the hills on one side and fields under cultivation on the lower lands was fine to look upon. Connecticut is noted for the hilly roads mad rocky land and one wonders how farmer can possibly cultivate such land. It certainly means hard, persistent labor to accomplish any thing in the vegetable line, and much is used for pasturage only. I rather like the undulating country, as Connecticut was my native state, Rockville being my home for 25 years. There are large
