AUNT MARY.
MAKING kEsr uan DE 1lME.

T Social Corner Members: That idea
 advanced bykS. E. D.. of having a budget in the home is Tight in accord with my own thoughts, though she has expressed Them much better than l could. But I also think that there is quite as much use for time budget
 as there is for 6ne on finances.
 The home-maker knows that cer-
 tain amount of baking, special clean
 ing, sewing and so on must be done
 during certain period of time-say a
 month-but she usually depends upon the hit-or- miss system of getting the work done and carries the detail in her head.
 This means that instead of distrib- uting the hardest work evenly there will be days of frantic effort because the house, is all at "sixes and sevens' I as result of poor management. Il means too that she never knows just how much time she has for rest and recreation; and. being conscientious she is apt to take too little time fol | this rather than too much.
 If she would once make out { 1 monthly schedule or the first of thu month, written plainly on sheet O. l foolscap, and, pin this schedule oyel l her desk for ready reference, she coult not be persuaded to go back to the olt funcharted method. k@
 It is not easy to gauge ones abilit,
 in. advance the first time. and plaI accurately just what can be accom-
 .plished; but if records are kept durint the first trial of the schedule plan 1 they will aid in making out the sec iond months schedule. This is fasci hating work, and by installing thi system the housekeeper will find tha
 her mind is left clear for;t the problem
 of each day as they come up-inaea,
 of having her memory taxed by tryinI to remember future duties.

SOME RoIAro REcIPEs.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: We all know how much the attractive appearance of a dish has to dos with giving one a relish for it; and this is especially true of the potato, which one has to put on the table day after day. For that reason perhaps some of you may like to make use of the following methods of cooking this fa- miliar and useful vegetable.
 Deviled Potatoes; Peel, boil, mash and season your potatoes; then press though a colander, into the dish in which you wish to serve them, hold ing high enough to give. the mass fancy quirls enough to vary the .ap- pearance of the top of the dish. Sci in the oven and brown.
 Flashed Potatoes: After chopping cold, boiled potatoes small, season with salt and pepper and with a little chopped parsley. To each quart of potatoes allow three tablespoons but ter. Heat butter, toss in the pota- toes and when they begin to brown add one-quarter cup of thin cream Set on back of stove till brown or bottom. Fold like an omelette and serve quickly.

HIGH IDEALS

Corner Members and Friends:. We are all the time hearing much about ideals and having our attention di- rected to the high ones. If high ideals could be bought over the counters of our stores like some of the high pric- ed articles of trade what a rush there would be for them!
 It Is so much easier to spend money even if it be hard earned, than 1t is to spend time and effort and self denial and struggles. Belongings that have a money value and that we see our friends possessing inspire us to quick possession on our own part. But who ever heard of any one at once strug- giing after integrity because the As who live below us have it. or for sin ,ceritY of speech because the B.s whc live on the corner are known to own 1t? That's a different story!
 Of course, the cases are not exactly

COPENHAGEN, October 20.-Den-
mark, because of her agricultural
population. is suffering less under the
general financial depression than any
other European country, but even
here it is felt that all standards of
living must be lowered and all pos
sible means used to prevent the i'm
portation OF luxuries. For American
business men this financial slump
here has assumed disastrous proper
tions, many having left Denmark
within the past few months, despair
ing of sticking it out until there is
a recovery. g. - 81
European Outlook Gloomy.
Discussing Danish conditions, Karl
Thalbitzer, editor Of the Copenhagen
Financial News, declared that Dem
mark must suffer with the rest Of
Europe.
Our people will not starve because
we produce so much, but in the near
future we shall have less to eat and
less to wear than in many years.
Nothing can slow up this retrogres-
sion. 1t will continue until starva-
ton wipes out a portion Of the popu-
lation of Europe or great masses
only bright hope lies in starvation.
for If several million Europeans
should die it would be SO much better
for those surviving. When the crisis
is reached, that is, when the living
standard is brought low enough-and
this may take several years-then
only will come a whole hearted desire
to rebuild.
-. Slight Relief offered.
I'VE can help things slightly by
restricting credits, but it appears like
puny effort against the gigantic
forces at work in Europe. 1t is doubt
full If Europe can regain her former
position Of being the greatest unit
in the worlds economy for her place
has been usurped by newer and more
aggressive units. Perhaps war be-
tween the United States and some
European power might rennite the
various elements and bring another
era Of supremacy. But that is for
the distant future"
This gloomy outlook is not shared
by all business men here. Some even
hope that Germany and Russia will
recover their vitality within a few
months and help general conditions.
All admit that the present period is
about as bad as was ever known.
