WEATHER PREDICTIONS IN WIN
 TER.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Are you sn- terested in the weather predictions for the coming winter? Most of Us are I like to compare the various prophets and See how they agree. or disagree
 An editorial note in The Bulletin re- gently, commented on the thundershowers we have had lately, saying If they meant anything we were likely to have colder weather.
 Now I am no weather prophet, please don't think I'm pretending to be, but here is a weather sign which an old Bay State farmer used to claim to be. fair ly accurate: Wherever a thundershoWer occurs after the twentieth of September you may expect an open winter. If there is no thundershower then look for a hard winter.
 According to the number of thunder showers we've had since Sept. 20. we should have a faiNy mild winter. Ir predicting weather for the summer thi, l same man used to say that a thunder shower shortly before March 20 meant a summer rather cooler than the average | The head of Theodos house says h,
 is predicting a mild winter from tb, l fact that the nuskrats have not ye built their winter houses. We hope tha I he is right.

salt, two teaspoons of baking powder, sifted in three small cups of flour, half teaspoon each of cloves, nutmeg and cin- namon, half cup of seedless raisins or dried entrants. Steam constantly for two hours. Be careful not to jar the ket- tie while steaming or to remove the kettle from its place.
 The sauce I use for this pudding Is as follows: Two tablespoons of butter, creamed with one cup of sugar. Into an other bowl, put one tablespoon of corn starch. moistened with cold water pour boiling hot water onto 1t until quite thin, stirring as you do this, then stir in the mixture of sugar and butter. Add a teaspoon of vanilla or lemon, This spe- cial steamer I suggest Is also excellent for making steamed brown bread. I send in recipe for carrot marmalade which have recently used and like very much
 Carrot Marmalade: Two pounds of carrots, two large lemons. Put through the coarse food chopper. Cook separately about thirty minutes in as little wa ter as possible. Mix together. Add one cup of sugar for each cup of bixture and boil till thick. Put into jelly glasses, with wax covering.
 Pickled Beets: Wash beets well, boil till done, and put into cold water, or al- low to cool. and remove skins Cut up if necessary. One quart of water beets were boiled in, add one quart of vinegar, one cup sugar, two tablespoons of salt. Boil 1 this syrup and add beets can while hot, in glass jars and seal.
 Hoping these may be helpful to some one. Best wishes

sUET PUDDING, CARROT MARINA
 JADE AND PICKLEUA BEETs.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Tn response to sister E. M. R. c. P, send in a recipe for suet pudding; which I have used many times. The best re- suits lie in the method of steaming. If you have not a special steamer for this purpose, I suggest you secure one be- fore you try the recipe. Possibly you do not know what I have referred to. The one I have is about seven inches in depth, a tin pail with funnel from the bottom up through the center. A tight fitting cover and without a bail. Before putting the mixture into the steamer. have the inside well greased. Have a large, deep kettle about half full of boiling water aEeady for the steaming process and keep it boiling without stop ping for two hours, fby adding more boil ing water occasionally as needed. On either side of the steamer are small rings, at the top sides. Use strings to tie to each side of the kettle, so that the steamer hangs in the water, the bottom not to touch the bottom of the kettle. The water should not come up more than half way on the steamer Use tight fitting cover on the kettle, so to keep all steam inside as much as pos sible.

 Tidy Addly: I canned my tomatoes by your recipe and had good luck I wish the sister who canned without cooking tomatoes would send in the recipe to keep them. Why so silent? Would like to see a letter from you with the informa- ton.

SOME HA1LowE,EN COSTUMES
JOAN.

Dear Editor and Sisters of The SociaI Corner: I haven't written for quite a long time, so thought it time took my pen in hand and wrote. As Halloween Is so very near will give few hints upon Halloween costumes.
 Halloween is the name given to the night of October 51, as the eve of the VlrgH Of All Saints or All Hallows' day, November l. In ancient days the peo- Die believed that on the eve of this festival Samon, the Lord of Death. called together the wicked souls cf those who had died the past year and had been condemned to occupy the bodies of ami mals. From this belief arose probably the popular superstition that on Halloween spirits of the dead wander abroad. te- sether with witches, devils and mischief making elves; also, that children on the night can perceive and hold converse with supernatural beings In parts of England and Scotland Halloween Is known as Nutcrack Night and Snaonle Night.
 The Queen of Hearts is very pretty costume made of crepe paper, the dress | to be made of white crepe paper, trim med with red hearts, and a large heart ! for cap.
 Night would make a fine costume for tall, dark girl. The dress should be a soft and flowing one sdade of black net or cheesecloth dotted over with stars and a crescent moon cut from silver paper The |hair is worn loose and flowing, with wreath of the stars encircling the head A Chinaman wears loose trousers, blue overalls will do, loose shirt of figured cretohne, pigtail made of braided black | rRgs obtained from old stockings and fastened to a skull cap, also made of stockings and a Chinese mask
 A sheet or two, pillow case and a mask representing a skull are sufficient to dress a ghost of either sex The part should be taken by tall. slender people.
 Dawn, makes a pretty costume for 8 fair haired girl A loose gown of thin gray stuff is worn over slip of r6se celored sateeD: The hair is worn loose and flowing, and is topped by crowr decorated with stars made of gold paper
 A gay kimona, a sash and few Jap. anese hair ornaments in the form of tiny fans or glass balls, form a Japanese cos tune for dark haired girl who car wear her hair in ponnpadour style.
 A tramp costume consists of old clothe. that do not fit, and piece of black courtplaster applied to several teeth, te l give the effect of missing teeth.
 A very good costume for a man is te dress as a skeleton, white against a darl suit, he would have all the party anG the room to Himself.

HOW TO PRESERVE CITRoN FOR
 CAKE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: AS E. M. R. c. P. asked for the recipe for suet pudding, I thought I would send in mine, which is very nice, and an old recipe, so 1t might be what she wants; also Diana wished for way to preserve cItron.
 To Preserve Citron for Cake Peel citron, cut into strips and remove seeds Weigh the fruit and allow a. pound of sugar to every pound of fruit Make a syrup, allowing a cup of water to every pound of sugar. Cook the citron in this until tender. Remove and spread on dishes Boil the syrup until quite thick. stir in little lemon juice, add ginger root if preferred. Lay the strips of citron back In the boiling syrup and stir until candied and coated with sugar Lay on a platter to cool and dry.
 Suet Pudding: Two and one-half c,,ps of'four, one cup of chopped suet, one cup raisins, one cup milk or water, one. cup molasses, one teaspoon soda, one tea spoon cinnamon. little nutmeg. Steam three hours if in a loaf. I use an erq poacher and the custard cups make nice individual cakes. Then boil one hour or steam
 Sauce for Pudding: Melt one table spoon butter in a saucepan add one ta- oiesp0on hour. When smooth add grad uaily one cup of hot milk or water, stir ring all the time. Pour this over a well beaten egg and one cup of sugar flavor to suit taste This is fine.
 Theoda: Arrived home safe. That hubby of yours is some driver. The visit did me good, performed a cure.
 Cady: l had to laugh when I read your last letter. I think we that have dogs that have always had their libertv around home know what it means to them to be confined so closely, and we know what 1t means to us who have the care or them: Sometimes I think will go crazy.
