AMBITIONS,

Sisters of the Social Corner: Ambitions can be wings or they can be loads. Did you ever think of it in that way? Small ambitions limit one. A visible ambition generally is trouble-maker, It gets in the way of honesty and unselfish dealing. is easily recognized by all and, even if realized, seldom brings real pleasure and profit.
 But big ambition is a helper every time. Of course, 1t must not be so large that there is no hope of realizing it, or it dissolves into vagueness. It should be high and broad, worthy of the highest endeavor Then few will recognize it and you can work for it unmolested by crit icism or lack of understanding.
 Ambitions should be selected after 8 great deal of sober thought. They should be suited to the personality and the ca pability of the one choosing. One with special talent for music could not expect success in writing the artist would make a clumsy musician. Many a life's most unfortunate misfits are such because of mistaken ambitions. But once the proper one for the individual is selected, 1t is wonderful how circumstances and events seem to shape themselves toward its full fiIlment.
 To be sure, they do not come wholly of themselves. Did you ever notice how, when some particular place or name has been called to notice. that one place or name will be found in reading or be mentioned in conversation again and again? Just because the mind was at tuned to it's sight and sound 1t in1presses itself. That's the way it is with anbi- tons. Once fixed in the mind. they call aid to themselves. Get one-and see if this Is not so

MAKING OVER CLOTHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: wish to pass along an idea or two to the sister who is handy with needle and sheers.
 When little daughters dresses become too short though otherwise in good con- Iition, look them over and note how many may be made into attractive and service able srT,ocks for wear with separate skirt Select those of q style somewhat like that of the smock. cut them to the desired length = about ten or twelve inches below the waist line-and hem the lower edge. - Belt and pockets may be made from the material cut away or a leather belt may be worn. The separate skirt may be made from an outgrown or silently worn dress of any heavy ma teria1 Cut eff the waist. using it for patching worn parts of the skirt stitch the skirt. to a plain cambric underwaist mada long enough to provide the neces- sary Inr-th Old serge dresses having very full skirts also make excellent gym IF s'u-1 boomers.
 When r7en's madras shirts are no long ar wearabIA as such cat off the back niece at yoke. Where ar1nholes cut in. s+raighten goods from yoke down and use from the fronts enough to piece on for shaDine the arfon. Either hem and edge with rick rack or bind with bias tape The bard and strings may be made from good parts of sleeves. This makes an apro1 about thirty-ona inches long, They re easy to make and look as well as those o~e ran buy, and Tn these times of high priced eingha ms 1t is a saving.
 Best wishes to the Corner.

Dear Corner Friends; was very much disappointed because I could not be with you at Theoda's party and also at the annual picnic. but it was impossible for me to come at that time. Shall hope to see some of you soon.
 A few days ago We drove over to Harvard. which is about twenty-eight 7 big fruit farm, and as our hostess was formerly one of the pretty girls of Willi- mantle. I thought you would be interest cd to hear about it.
 Practical Polly will tell you who the lady is.
 We went to Arlington and then follow ed the Old Paul Revere trail through Lexington and Concord. over the old North Bridge. where the battle was fought ard past the big monument in the square. which tells the sad story of the fallen heroes Then we go past the gloomy Concord prison and soon We are n the pretty village of Harvard
 Our friends live on one of the highest tiils and from one of their piazzas one can see for many miles
 Camp Devens is in the valley. a few miles away and can he plainly seen, and in the distance can be seen the outlines 0t mts. Monadnuck and Wachuset.
 The house and barns are large and equipped with all modern improvements e1d look and seem like a city home. Back of the barns are the houses where the fruit and vegetables are stored, and sorted ready for market. At the end of pretty little lane Is a lovely grove of chestnuts. from which the place derives It's name, "The Chestnuts' There is 2 pretty bungalow for the manager and ether help near by. and beyond that are nearly a thousand fruit trees and other small fruit. which keep everybody busv during the season

THE SUMMER COTTAGE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner Right now of course those who are for tunate enough to be able to have them are thinking about their summer cot tages. One woman has fallen heir to an old shack, and she is determined to transform it into a livaHe summer camp. It is fairly long. low building of the bungalow type, with rough plastered walls not good looking enough to be left in their natural state. Except for. the unattractiveness of the walls, the shack looks pronlising-it seems to have all sorts of possibilities for comfort for those who want to live simply and quietly in the country in summer.
 One practical friend suggested that she tint the walls. It Is simple thing to do. Just mix up little whitening or whitewash, according to a given formula, add some coloring matter and put 1t on. Nothing is more ugly in a summer camp than glaring walls, and 1t is not neces- sary for any one to have them If one does not want to. This is one way to set about getting attractive results at small expenditure.
 First get about six pounds of whiten- ing. put in a wooden bucket and cover with water. Set it away for twenty -four 1 hours, then pour of the water; mix half a pound of size with two quarts of hot
 
 paste, and add this to the whitening Add also one tablespoon of powdered alum and mix all together well, until it is of the consistency of cream. Strain it and set aside until 1t is cold You may need more than that, but those are the correct proportions to follow.
 ] The coloring Is of course something that each must decide for herself
 The walls must be dusted thoroughly in fact, they should be washed well be. fore you tint them. and they real | iy ought to have a thin coat of sizt 1 first You must be sure also to fill UT ] cracks and holes with some plaster oi paris and whitening. Do you know how to make paste of that? Take thre, parts of whitening to one part plaster oi paris and mix it to smooth paste witl water and little size.
 l When you put the mixture on you walls use a good, broad brush and be careful not to take up too much of the liquid at once, for splashing Is to b, avoided if you want smooth neat walls

DRYING srRPLUs yEcEr.Et,Es

Social Corner Sisters: Everyone must appreciate the importance of self hel- by saving surplus articles of food when they are plentiful till they are scarce and higher priced To do this. tha following way of drying has beeen suggested to me
 wash cook. remove skin if necessary, and grind the vegetable in the meat chopper. Spread the paste on the trays Of hydrator for on any good vegetable dryer-there are several on the rrlarget) and the result is a .crumbling cake of dry paste. The haste from most yereta hIes VIII dry in two and one-haIf hours. The vegetables should be Strictlv fresh. or there is no use in trying to preserve then, 5E drying. The pasteson the dr.r should te turned over from time to time by a pancake turner Cthe puln should ba spraad over the drying surface to depth Of one-half inchl
 When thoroughly dry Gf the haste chances to be spread on the dryer to 2 depth greater than one-haIf inch in some place it may require from three to three and one-haf hours to reach the hard kernel stage which denotes thorough dry Eess). pour into an open dish cover with piece of cheesecloth and let stand for half day to season. stirring the con tent sof the dish every hour so that sll parts will season alike. Be S Ire to keen me ctSn covered even when stirring : vegetables ez1osed to the air may become worrny after being placed in the tightly closed jar or fibre container in which thsv should be stored until used The far or container should be stored in a tfiorough- Y dry place
 Carrots. turrios, parsley. peas. punnp- kirs. potato-in fact. alrnos tall yegeta- bies can be dried in this way and will b, found a tremendous blessing by the norsekeeper when making soups. cro- ouettes or indeed when any blend of fla vors is needed. or when she wishes to usa fresh vegetables
 The squash or pumpkin may be used for pie as well as for soup favoring. For i1ie it must be soaked about one and one. half hours and is then ready to be treat ed exactly as the freshly cooked and mashed squash or pumpkin is treated for pie -0-
 Onion and celery should 70. be cooked or put through the meat chopper before drying; either process would spoil their flavor They should simply be sliced finely and dried raw.
 l should like to know what success any *ao have tried this plan have had and nov any others who try it make out.

JEMNEY.

DON'T NOW HOW MUCH THEY MISS Dear Social Corner Friends: Hope you all are enjoying this nice summer wea- ther.
 As I believe 1t is better to do thing late than never at all, want to thank the editor now for the yellow slip I re- ceived quite a long time ago.
 Happy Go Lucky: You want to know what I think of person who never reads a story? Well I think they must be like the boy who never went to a circus. and so does not know how many good things he has missed till someone tells him all about it later on. I do not feel that my time is wasted reading stories so long as the family have plenty of good nourishing food prepared by my self, clean and whole clothes to wear, soft clean beds to sleep in and the house in order at all times. There are some who think all this waste of time and that their duties lay in locking after others affairs. Every one to their own taste suits me all right Now Happy Go Lucky, if you have not read Mint Julep by Martha James, and Shutdown Slim by Henry Herbert Knibbs, wish you would do so and then report. Think they are just the kind that would suit you O. H. O.: Hope you, can manage some way so as to meet with Club No. at Wildwood park on July If.
 Country Cousin: Come to our picnic July If and wear your yellow bow. so we may find out who you are.
 Curt: Glad to know you are fighting H. C. [. How are you going to earn your dollar?
 Am looking forward for a good ay and a good big crowd at our picnic,

 The housekeeper who must work alone
 at her canning should not prepare more vegetables than her canner will hold at
 one time-indeed it is best to handle
 only as much fruit or vegetables as can be blanched at once. In this way, the fruit or vegetables have no chance to spoil before the process is completed. Fruits and vegetables are washed, pared, scraped, or shelled (according to their nature) as for cooking. They are then
 put in wire basket or in a piece of cheese-cloth and plunged into boiling wa
 ter and left there as long as the time ta-
 ble directs. Do not begin to count time
 until the water is actually boiling again after plunging in the vegetable or fruit. After this period of blanching, remove the product from the boiling water and plunge it immediately into cold water for a moment, removing 1t at once (this is called "cold dipping'). Pack 1t into jars after it has drained for a moment adding one teaspoon of salt to every quart jar of vegetables. Then fill the boiling water or syrup (according to the product). Dip the rubber into boiling water and place it on the neck of the jar; half seal-that is, with a screw top jar, tighten the cover with the thumb and little finger; and with the spring top jar, adjust the cover and place the
 top bail in position, but do not push
 down the side wire.
 Now place the jars on the rack in the
 cannet, making sure that the water comes one or two inches above the jar tops. Boil for the number of minutes the time table directs, then remove the
 jars, completely seal them (that is, with the screw-top jar. finish tightening the
 cover; and with the spring-top jar snap
 the second baiD; invert the jars to test for leakage, cool, label and store.

rAknG CARE OF HUBBY.

Social Corner Members: My husband often gets out of patience with me for ! am forever looking after his hand kerchiefs think he ought to have a clean one in his pants pocket, one in his undercoat. and one in his overcoat ,1oclzet every morning, for I do detest seeing a man take 8 soiled handkerchief out of his pocket Sometimes I take one out and forget to put one back, that IS when he loses his patience, but never nind.7 he invariably has clean handkerchief every day. That is the way I was brought up to do. Mother Is worse than I am. but I think it the right way If a man has clean collar and cuffs a clean handkerchief and clean shoes he looks very nice. Of course most every man takes care of his nails and If these days their clothes are mended q little, they look very respectable.

chiefs for them. The little ones learned
 to use them very young. would put
 pockets in their dresses and when my youngest boy was eighteen months old
 he would use his kerchief and return it
 to his pocket. He was very proud of his
 own little handkerchief with his initial in the Corner. He will never use a soiled one, and is very careful about car- rying them when mussed, and although he has grown up. been overseas, fought through all the minor battles and re- | turned home. the habit for a clean hand kerchief every morning is still with him. He changes his socks every morning and union suits three times week, so you see what habit will do While overseas it was sometimes three months at time he would just take off his shirt so he could hunt cooties. He said that was war, but after he came home the same old habits came back. think sometimes when I see children take out soiled handkerchief it is pity their motht rs l have not taken the very little trouble necessary to start them on the right road 1 to cleanliness.

VISITING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Dear Social Cornerites: We'll, it's been Quie a while since I wrote and I will try and tell you about a trip I took a short while ago One of my cousins and l thought we would take a few days of and visit our relatives so one morning we started bright and early. We had to, owing to the change in the timetables We were at the depot in plenty of time for the train and waited and waited. At last news came that the train had broken down few stations back but at last it came and we started. A friend met us with her car, took us uo to dinner and after that took us to out aunts house where we enjoyed ourselves very much, but as it most always does when I go away, as I've told you before, it be- gan to rain in the evening. We went to call on some cousins, but had gone only a short distance when something was the matter with the trolley and we had to change cars. It still rained and rain ed hard and we were dressed for hot summer weather not rainstorms. We had a jolly good time with our cousins. At late hour we started back. We went out to take the car, thinking we only had q few minutes and I'm sure We waited half an hour and it was still raining. We had to transfer to another car half way home and that was late. l think we stoood in a drug store one hour watch ing and waiting. At last it came and we finally arrived home.
 We had planned the next day to visit other friends but alas in the morning II still rained so we had to give that up We thought we might possibly go down town early and do a bit of shopping even if it did rain so after an early dinner we braved the weather in borrowed rub bers. raincoats and umbrellas. We went through one store when my aunt looked at her watch and said it is almost your train time so we hurried to the depot only to wait for three long hours for that train We could not go out asaln, it poured so At last we got on our train and if we didn't just sit there over an hour waiting Something was the mat ter somewhere, but we arrived home al last. safe and sound but rather damp, after all that waiting and I've always said was not a good waiter. But after all we enjoyed ourselves as we kept our temper and made the best of things. but it does seem queer to me that 1t aiways rains when plan to go away.

PARENTS. AND TEAcHEns, woRk

Sisters of The Social Corner: We were all interested to see how everyone an- swered to the call for workers during the war. And I think we need to keen up the spirit of cooperation now in every thing but especially in regard to child welfare and conservation of necessary products
 I think we make a great mistake in both the home and school training in not realizing more how little development a child can get in the home now, unless we take a great deal of extra trouble in teaching him and in planning suitable work for him in the home.
 We cannot realize the benefit and ad vantage a child formerly received in seeing and helping in the real work of the home, when all kinds of work had to be done by hand and at home, before the invention of machinery took most of the work out of the home and into the factory.
 The child fin his work at home and in his association with adults was learning many ideas which made him capable and fitted him for life and developed his mind for his schoolwork It Is natural for a young child to want to do everything he sees done and use everything he seei used. and we should never discourage him by telling him not to do this or that but we should arrange go that he car initiate the things he is interested In without his making trouble for others. The first thing in school ehcuid be fol the teacher to find out how much hon, teaching the child has had, and replace ag much as possible to the neglected child the development he shsuId havs had. before he was old enough to ente, school.

YOUR ROSES.

Corner Friends: When roses come in to bloom. and from now on there prom ises to be lots of them in this Rose of New England, it is the delight of every rose grower to cut the flowers and dis tribute them among his friends. The flowers will last much longer if the stems arg cut slantwise instead Of straight across and an extra inch or two taken off each day. Don't hesitate to take long stems with your roses. It is only by cutting back the plants that you will keep them in bloom and you might as we'll do your pruning when you cut the flowers as any other time If the bios- soms begin to decrease in size dig bone meal or pulverized sheep manure into the soil around the plants.--~

REGRETS DEATH OF SISTER JUDITH

|
 Dear Social Corner Friends: It is some i time since have written to the Corner 1 but it has not been because of lack of | intedest in it for l have read the letters each week and was very sorry to read of Sister Judith's death. She was one who always had smiling countenarc ce { to welcome her friends and we shall miss | her genial greeting and pleasant con- versation at our social meetings but our 1 loss Is her gain.
 | Was very sorry to miss the pleasure l of being at the picnic at the home of Re- l member Me but l had an only sister come to visit me from Smyrna, N. r.
 and two nieces from Waterloo, Iowa, l whom had not seen for ten years. They were very tired from their journey | and it seemed best not to take them on so long a trip as there were tiresome l waits on the way to the home of Remem- l Der Me and the company would all be l strangers to them while we could visit ] better at my home by ourselves. I have
 no doubt but the meeting was an espec- | ially joyful one as the home is an ex- cellent one for such gatherings and the 1 hostesses were well qualified to attend l to all of the duties encumbent upon them. Am hoping to attend the one at Alexander Lake If the day is pleasant and nothing happens to prevent.
 l Here is sentiment that I read the other day in a paper which seems too good to be forgotten: The chief end of
 woman is to be a good angel and help all who come in contact with her to be good and strong and pure"
 Do any hearts beat faster. Do any | faces brighten to hear your footsteps on | the stair or to meet you greet you l anywhere? Are you 50 like your Master
 dark shadows to enlighten that some are happier today for worlds they have heard | you say? Life is not worth the living if | no one were the better for having met us 1 on the way and known the sunshine of our stay. We are weary walking the l highway of life we are fretted and fius- | tered with worry and strife. Let us drop 1 by the wayside our heavy load and rest at the inn at the turn of the road. Let us tarry awhile at the sign of The Smile. Forget all of our griefs in the joys fat beguile; then up with our loads ana we will find they are light. Let us tarry awhile at the Sign of the Smile.'
 As one by one of our circle finish their work and lie down to rest let us not ge- Respondent but double our in crest In ] the Social Corner and look on the bright
 side of life and remember all Of tIe cheery happy influences of the one who
 has been called to her rest and strive to so live that we may scatter sunshine and joy ill our daily life and the world 1 be the better for our having lived. Hop | ing that we may have many pleasant re- 1 unions during the summer and that none | of the writers will lose their interest sn i the Social Corner but do all they can to
 keep up its standard and perpetuate it's good influence.
