DRIED APPLE CAKE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Several times have noticed recipes in The Corner page for cake made with apples. I am sure that you will like the following rule for making
 Dried Apple Cake-Soak one and a half cups of dried apples over night; in the morning chop fine-or put them through the meat grinder; add one cup of nnolasses. Cook slowly, taking care they do not burn. Cool; then add one cup of sugar, one-fourth cup shorten ing, one cup cold water. two and one half cups of four. one teaspoon soda salt, cloves and nutmeg. Bake slow ly, as you would fruit cake.

nREAMERs.

Social Corner Folks: I overheard a remark the other day which caused me 10 do some thinking. It was "Oh, she's just a dreamer; and dreamers if she is a dreamer, is the latter statement true? Don't dreamers ever accomplish anything? Where would all the art and the poetry and the music of the world be if it were not for the dreamers? Where the great inventions and discoveries which make life today so much richer than that of the past? Where the great commercial enterprises which are the making of modern business?

Peace reigTed everywhere, and the moon was shooting it's bright silver through the rich foliage of the geraniums, in the boxes, sense of ianguor lay over everything and the silence predisposed me to dreaming of the impossible Identification of life. My muscles relaxed, my eyes closed, I slept.
 Suddenly l seemed to be walking down Vanderh6rst street in Charles ton. S. c. It was the 2tst of June It was about o'clock at night and I was walking briskly toward the house Of d friend.
 Suddenly a female figure appeared before me. It was the same identical markab1e day when. Mir Smith took nlarsable day when Mr. Smith took me approa ched me. and waved me Back. stopped, amazed. With a warning gesture she said:

Among the fisher folk Of La Panne,
where King Albert Of Belgium spends
his summers, he Is known as the old
fashioned king. He lives in a small
cottage Of unpretentious design, circled
by homes of Antwerp and Belgian mer-
chants much more kingly. The royal
palace and park, at Ostend, where his
uncle, Leopold II. spent the summers
In gay frivolity, and the gayer resorts
OF the French coast, have little Of In
terest for the practical and democratic
monarch. The dress of the king in
both fashion and fabric is like that
OF the merchants Of La Panne. The
affairs Of the town are the affairs of
his household, and one not knowing
him would pass the kindly-faced man
on the street and not recognize him.
He takes pleasure from his camera,
swapping the peasants and fishermen.

queror Julius, invading Gaul, found
