THE LITTLE SINISTER.
A BUSY PRESERVING SEASON.


 Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: This past summer at one of our gatherings, there was quite warm talk as regards new members taking a name which had for a long time belonged to some other sister. I said there Is in my opinion no one to blarae for this but yourself. If you would write every month, signing your pen-name new members would know that there was at least one sister who had selected that as hers and there would be no such mis- takes. One sister said Its month8 since I have written but cannot think of anything to write" I said you could at Least say, Hello Sisters I am still a member of the Social Corner and am known by the name of Good Bye. Then there would not be any danger of an other selecting your particular name And after ah that good advice it's over month l am afraid since I have writ ten, but I do not think there is any danger of anyone's selecting my pen name.
 I notice in last Saturdays page o. | '. c. told about pickling beets. I do mine much the same but do not use so much sugar. I use pickling spice in the vinegar and to every two quart glass jar I put two red sweet peppers. with 1 seeds removed and pod cut into about six strips cut. length@ise. and six little onions. l think it makes the beets much nicer.
 have had so much fruit given me of different kinds this year that counting Up the jars in my fruit cellar last week l find I have over. 80 done in 1921, 2s eft over from last year. over 40 tum- blers of different kinds of jell this year, | laft fre years bottles of grape juice and rasp- berry shrub and about three dozen left from last year I have five two-oua If | jars of cucumber pickles and 20 dozen eggs put down in egg preserve and I teel that is pretty good for one who has to do almost all her work sitting down as I can be on my feet but 3, lit- t|e While at a time. The man of the house says he has spent most of his time taking jars down cellar this sun- | mer. As I empty jar I wash and dry It, i'll 1t with sugar and set it away SC | when l begin the next summer l have plenty of sugar to nut up<. all the fr1,tt want and it is e. z CT than to buy ST. | gar and fruit at the same time.

 CHOCOLATE. AUTUMN TIME IN GALES FERRY.
 Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Perhaps the brilliant howerage of au- turnn more fancifully displays it's wist- flu. loyeliness in this quaint little vfl- lage.
 The red and scarlet leaves that light ed the shadowing hillaides nsge shifted their lines of color, and are gathered in hillocks that fill the winding paths and every nook on the rocks below. Like haunting memories the sere and withered oak leaves rustic along the pathways and whirl along the drives.
 Among the groups of slender pines, standing like dusky warriors, shoot the flaming birches and naples rising like blazing tapers celebrating the feast of the dying year.
 The staid old street is gay with 1ut- tering ribbons of silver and gold the long time lanes are touched with shafts of misty light, and the lonely paiEs that lead along the river banks and into the forests are interlined with trailing creepers that mingle with the faded s
 But a sail on the little launch Elsie down along the shores of the bluff where the cottages are g1lded with straying leaves and knots of foliage, will better ideaiize the study of the imagery and richness of natures pag- eantry. Below at Browns Crossing, where the shores run high and steep, the rolghened sides are massed with prismatic colorings.
 The river sparkles and losses in the changing bree As. and ythe betting banks rising like rainbow stained clouds, min gle with the clouds that sweep the heav- ems.
 Across the river on Raymond,s hill the endless banks of vivid scarlet throw back the reddened tints that are reflect ed in the sEaying waters in twinkling waves of crimson that shift with the moving tides.
 But the lovely little village is wrap ped In dreamy stiffness. The old houses that date back to Revolutionary days look out furtively from their fringe of autumn leaves; the Colonial houses dig nifed and stern, soften under their can opy of autumn glory, while back in the woods the call of the birds and the chat ter of the squirrels touch the heart of the listener, all telling the tale of the long ago, while the tragedy of life goes on.
 Yet, while wander, the tranquil twi- light falls the lights along the shore shine like the stars above, and the tops of wonder reckoning hills are lost fn the gathering darkness for night has come.

MORE ANSWERS BY KITTY LOU.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Sis ters: I have been asked so many ques- tions I hardly know where to begin.
 very fne tooth powder is made of preeipitated chalk, four ounces powder ed orris root. eight ounces; powdered camphor, one ounce.
 The little white Heck on the fingef nails indicates disturbed circulation ot injury from the cuticie knife. No Sex- ternal application will cure them.
 Premature grayness is usually caused sage will often correct this condition, but 1t should be persisted in faithfully every night and morning.
 Rub just little white Gasoline in the eye brows
 If the scar is slight. massage will ef- face it in lime.
 Bay rum or toilet water is not a good thing to rub directly on the hair. Hot olive oil is very good. but do not Ese too often. It rots the roots of the hair. If you would massage your scalp every night and morning it will do more good to the scalp than you realize, and if you will send me your address, I will send you 8 sulphur formula" which re- stores a healthy condition tc the scalp and will surely stop falling hair. It is tie 1OSh Su1k1lul llldl IS uSeu dHu II H4S the other ingredients in with it, the olive oil, etc. Pure olive oil is not good for the hair as a permanent diet. That or vaseline is better not used at all unless with cantharides and there are three other ingredients that go with the rock sulphur, You just signed your name.

 There is little insect formed where the blood is impure and does not circu- late. It looks like 8 little crab if you look under a microscope. This is not a form of dandruff, it is simply from lack of circulation and impoverished roots When your scalp is washed, do not rub it too bard, for that is one of the worst things for a scalp. When you shampoo do not handle your hair too rough. Ada C.: think I answered your letter

We have kept dogs for years, and l know they can be kept just as healthy when chained as when allowed to run. Personally I never saw a mad dog, and hope never shall, but years ago cous- in had a beautiful big Newfoundland dog that the family thought everything of One day a mad dog ran through the village.

1t is believed here that Germany's

in official quarters that no German

serious consideration by Great Britain,
