PRACTICAL SUGGESTION TO SIM
 PLIFY CURTAIN MAKING.

Members of Social Corner: am in the curtain making mood and I thought I might assist someone who may be in a state of dissatisfaction like myself when I thought I was obliged to hire them made. Of course I felt that I must pur- chase a cheaper material and it was so cheap it hardly warranted the expense of making it up. Equipped with a yard stick, a good sized table, a straight eye and an endless number of pins I began my work.
 I had scrim for my curtains. I had small French heading at the top, and put good sized hem in the bottom, turning it twice to give the curtain weight, thus making it hang better. hung them next to the glass, and let them come just down to the sill In the bedrooms they come below the sill on the first floor I hemstitched the hem and you would be surprised to see how quickly you can do the hemstitching If you wish to use rings. take the width of the window and make scrim curtain which measures that width when finish ed. I found by taking groups of little plaits and at each group sew on a ring, the fullness is thus evenly distrfb- | uted by the groups of plaits. In this | way I find the curtain does not sag be- tween rings wf~n pulled together. | I find it is best to finish one curtain accurately and then pin the others by i it as I have about eighteen pairs tc
 make at once it is easier for me, so
 am suggesting this idea.
 With a window twenty-eight inches il width, the width of each curtain at tn,
 top finished should be 19 inches if tn,
 material is 30 inches wide-and if di vided every IA inches. it will requir light rings for each curtain and abou
 1-2 inches apart. The little plaits cal be made any size that is necessary, thre | at each ring. Then when the curtain i
 drawn the fu1lness will be evenly dis | tributed.
 My overdraperies I put up accordin,
 to the window. If your woodwork i

SOCIAL CORNER POETRY.

Iuus. Fair June, sweet June, is with us now once more; She brings her warm, soft winds, and wondrous store Of scented hours, all filled with dear delights Of perfect days that change to perfect nights. Her lush green grasses bend beneath our feet, Her birds fill all the air with music sweet; Each tree is a fair village filled with homes From which faint murmurs rise when morning comes. Soft, tender emerald clothes the grain fields still, Which ripple, wave-like, at the winds own will Brave dandelions star the roadsides bare, And rainbow blossoms greet us every where. Summer is young-and oh, her kiss is sweetl Earth, wind. and wave in harmony complete For her caresses; all the world is new, Made up of roses and of honey-dew

THOSE WHO NEVER READ STORIES

Dear Sisters: I wrote several years ago in response to Keziah Doolittle's in- quiry, How to bring up children" As We seldom see letter from her in the Corner, take it she has been busy put ting into practice the advice received.
 Now I have a question for her and Twice Twenty and lots of the other sis ters to answer. What do you think of a person who never reads a story?
 I met such one a while ago, in fact two of them, who said they never read stories, the characters in them weer not real folks, and it was a waste of time. For myself enjoy a good story, am now reading the serial, Cloudy Jewel, by Grace Livingstone Hill Lutz and wish every sister, especially those who have the care of young people, could read it.

HOT CORN BREAD.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: For break fast. or on a chill. rainy night, in my opinion nothing goes much better with a family than does crisp corn bread It is economical at present, too, because of the high price of white flour.
 Here is an old-time New England re- ripe for this healthy and palatable bread -Sif: twice. two cups corn meal with an even teaspoon each of soda and salt. Beat two eggs very light; mix a tea spoon of sugar in three cups of butter milk-or sour milk in case you cannot get the first-add the eggs and ta- blespoon of melted butter, then the pre- pared corn meal. Have ready warmed three deep jelly cake tins well greased divide the batter between them and bake in quick even. Eat hot.

THE ONLY REAL HELP IS SELF HELP
A srRAWBERRY WHn.

Dear Friends of the Social Corner: Now that the season of strawberries is here, the cook who wants something es- pecially nice in desserts will find it in strawberry whip.
 One quart of ripe strawberries should be hulled and sprinkled well with sugar. Mash the berries, add the juice of one orange, and let stand for an hour.
 Beat stiff the whites of four eggs; rub the berries through a sieve, add the egg whites and beat until stiff and smooth. Line an ornamental dish with slices of sponge or white cake, fill with the whip garnish the top with whole berries and serve at once.

GETTING MY NEW SPRING SUIT

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It has been quite a long time since I sent in my hit hut enjoy reading the letters just the same.
 Perhaps. some of the sisters would like to hear how I got my new spring suit. I had an ancient brown suit which I steamed, pressed and turned, was care full not to stretch the outside of coat I made 8 belt which I loosely tied. and added some tassels, the only thing bought (they cost me 50 cents) and with velvet buttons which covered, and a lace collar I have a very good look ing suit in which I feel real dressed up Perhaps this might helr some of the other sisters cut the high price of clothes not saying anything about the | high cost of food.

CAKE PANsIEs AND LETTUCE

Dear Cornerites: There was a mis- print in the receipt for raised cake of last week. It should be four tablespoons of cooking oil in place of teaspoons.
 Chocolate Cake: Make in the order given. One beaten egg, cup of sugar or less will do; two tablespoons cooking oil, salt to taste, teaspoon vanilla, melt one and one-half square of chocolate, add one-half cup of hot water with small teaspoon soda, one and half cups flour with teaspoon baking powder, stir well, last one-third cup of boiling water. bake in shallow pan. Frosting im- proves it.
 Pansies are lovely and I decided to have bed of them. Sewed two packag- es of seeds but nothing doing. Then l purchased a basket and have seven diff ferent colors. I set part of them in the ground and the remainder in a hanging basket. Although we had lettuce growing very slowly in the garden I decided to buy half dozen plants that were three inch es high. They were set in kettle and have more than sprouted up. We have had fine messes from them. Cold nights brought them in. Wish I had experi- mented with nore.

By doing our duty to Him and

they left the pier one stevedore
staggered off the side and was
drowned in spite of efforts to save
him. The other paid no attention
