THE HOME EMERGENCY CABINET

Dear Social iCorner: While visiting a friend this summer I saw the benefit of a first aid closet, especially where there are several children, including boys, in the family. as never before.
 My friends youngster had fallen and received a bad cut in his head She quickly gathered him up and took him to the bath room, where in a little white cupboard on the wall was everything for an emergecy. It was case of having :he needed things right where they were wanted and in no tine the cut was patch ed up and the boy at play again, with the bandage, covering the pad of iodine and dry gauge and all done without con- dusion.
 Adniring the idea, she explained the cabinet arrangement as follows: "The upper shelf is for dressings; ban dages, one, two and three inches wide oil silk and cotton wool pads, in case we need to apply lamentations. Some pieces of soft old flannel for fomentations, ster- | hlized gauge, which enc buys at any drug store, and an assortment of soft old linen and muslin have washed and boiled and stored away here.
 l That can of mustard, the cs Inf foru and the bowl and spoon are for an emer- gency mustard plaster. This is where the old rags come in. A mat of paper. little warm water and the right proportions of -four and mustard ard have a neat little plaster ready in two minutes. It saves 2 trip to the kitchen and fumbling around among containers in the cupboard down | Etairs.
 Then there are N hydrogen peroxide
 antiseptic tablets and iodine, soda tablet.
 and a tiny vial of peppermint for indiges tion, castor oil, fruit salts, camphor anC
 smelling salts. This carron oil which i!
 simply mixture of lime water and swee
 oil, is for burns, though yeu can bu, picric gauge for burns. And I keep
 saturated solution of boracic acid and
 bottle of boiled water on this shelf, well
 corked with sterile gauge"
 It certainly is a capital arrangemen for every household.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: have been reading all about your nice vaca- tion trips and how much you have en- joyed them.
 As we all cannot take vaaction in the same way, let us all plan to get as much pleasure out Of our surroundings as possible.
 Although I have not been more than ten miles away from home since last May, have enjoyed the summer very much, It has been mostly a "do as you please summer for me, and you know there is a lot of pleasure in that for the most of us.
 We have gotten up when We pleased, gone to bed the same, eaten the same, dressed the same and worked the same, rather a lazy existence, but very com fortable in hot weather
 I went to one Social Corner picnic, one "Old Home gathering and had com pany enough to break the monotony. An aunt of s5 years spent two weeks with us, which we thought. very nice.
 I am now giving you Feefpe for a canned vegetable soup, which a friend vouches for and which I am going to try very soon myself.

HELPS IN HOME MATTERS

Dear Social Corner Sisters I find it a great saving on children's underwaists to cut two holes out of the back of an old corset where the corset lace runs through and sewing them on to the underwaist and then put the garter pin through these two holes This prevents wear and tear on the waist.
 For an inexpensive petticoat cut off at the ankle worn out feet of long cotton pr Woolen stockings. Rip up seams in oack or stocking. sew together on ma chine as many legs of the stockings as desired to make the width of pettlcoat placing the wide part for the bottom of the skirt and the narrow for the ton Then press all seams open, and either face or hem the bottom.

J. Collins. A ballot resulted in the choice of Mir. Collins.
 Senator Fox was surprised and SO vert many of his political friends and they are puzzled to understand just the req son why. unless il be that he will be op- posed for the renomination for state sen ator. or to curb his alleged ambition tc be mayor. Mir. Fox, himselm. had no idea that he was to be bounced from the reg istrarship. especially in a presidential year. IL may be that Mir. Fox did not drill in the right political squad and this action of the democrats Is simply a po- litical retaliation of the action taken when the squad that Mir Fox did drill with controlled the democraiic party in New London and deposed William T. | connor from the office of reaiEtrar which he had filled for much longer term | than has Mir.

LEAP YEAR DRAWING TO A CLOSE

Dear Sisters of The Corner: How many of you realize this is Heap year., the time proverbial> for woman to take the initiative, in so far as the initiative re- mains to be taken?
 Shall we suppose that there will be more marriages and proposals of mar riage, the remaining months than ever be- fore, or fewer. For that matter I might read the paper and ask more divorces or less divorces?
 Now that woman can be made voters, who in our circle are going to made vot- CTS and go to the polls and vote? All of this is rather new, but important and interesting, and may be we can meet our affinity at the political meeting. The saying is that man proposes and God disposes," but this Heap year" is l towatch the 1920 record when the year | book closes. and judge whether this has been a ''ieap year. in name only. l Doubtless the forefathers who accord

HOME, SWEET HOME.

Sisters of The Social Corner: In these days when almost all over the country there is shortage of houses and fami- lies are doubling up, making room for relatives and acquaintances who are un- able to find houses to live in, and others are moving into rooming houses or board ing houses or hotels-then the housewife with a home of her own, be it ever so humble, begins to realize how fortunate she is in having that home, even though it does involve hard work and much anxi- ety.
 Probably homes were never more greatly prized than they are today. The man and his wife who, few years ago, by dint of hard saving and economy, ac- cumulated enough to start in the pur- chase of a little home of their own and then throughout the years that fol- lowed paid of all obligations, have now found themselves in possession of prop erty marketable sometimes at twice as much as they put into 1t. The housewife sharing such home now finds that pev-

 obliged to. but because having tasted of
 the sweetness of freedom from household
 servants they are unwilling again to go
 back to them.
 And the privilege of entertaining If it is only to offer friend cup of tea and a piece of toast in your ewnhome it is something that no one who has not tried to live in hotels or boarding houses fully appreciate. There is far less hos pitality now than there used to be-all the more is it appreciated when it is found.
