But I certainly like to know. all there is to them. shaT1 have to let Primrose or some other Cornerste an- swer It.
 remember going with Grandmother B. to Sunday school when v1s very small, she used to sing in the choir. went for a ride Sunday to 2. K. to see the flower show. NIT. w., mother and niece went too. It was certainly worth going to see. Mother doesn't get out much and can't hear very good They said Saturday there was large company there, and the band played Ii must have been fine. Such little trips do one lots of good and are not expensive think we forget how 1t was last | summer with no berries and no fruit rc speak of. This year one can have plen' l ty of everything to can. The summer 1 has seemed very short and the night, are beginning to seem quite cool. Let u' hope the frost will stay of as long ai i it did last year.

 she left me again, and should. have

KITCHEN MANAGEMENr.

Dear Corner Friends: Many of my acquaintances complain about the hard work in the kitchens. It Is true that such work isn't the easiest, but neither is it necessarily the hardest. Method in a kitchen can save any amount of labbr and give better results and in carrying this out g most important point is to have place for each utensil and keep it there. It saves any amount of time and untidiness.
 One of the very first rules g dispenser has to learn in her important work Is to put back every bottle she uses be- fore taking another from the shelves
 chaos would result otherwise It soon
 becomes a habit and is carried out me
 chanically. If the worker in a kitchen
 would follow this rule, especially while
 cooking, there would be no aftermath of clearing up to reckon with.
 Always have stores and utensils plac- ed as near as possible to the place where they are to be used 4nd handled. and , don't have saucepans and moulds on shelves out of reach. or tins and lids, con- l stantly in use. hidden away in a dark 1 cupboard. It all requires thought and l care when arranging, but well repays the | trouble. Hang up everything that is pos 1 sible on the safe little brass screw nooKs that are bought for few cents s : dozen strainers, whisks. cooking spoons ! etc. can all be dispensed of in this way i If you want to try what I consider a ] good cake, stir one teas spoon of butter i into one cup of sugar, then beat in one 1 egg until the mixture foams. Now put 1 one-half teaspoon of buttermilk. and when the soda is dissolved add this mix.
 ture to the above-given mixture. Ther add enough flour to make a regular cakt 1 consistently, using one teaspoon of bak. ing powder with the flour. Any desired
 seasoning may be used. but I find grated 1 nutmeg makes good change.
 Hope all the sisters have had nic,
 summer and are ready for the delight ful busy autumn days.

THE STORY or AN UMBRELLA

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Has 1t ever occurred to you what kind of story your umbrella could tell if 1t could talk. Here are some of the experi- ences mine has had.
 Several years ago after was con structed in large umbrella factory and was inspected and placed with what seemed to me a numberless lot of um- brellas and taken to a large wholesale dealer in distant city. After a while
 with a lot of fellow umbrellas, was sent to a store in this city. One day school teacher came into the store and
 bought me to be her companion for a
 rainy day I had not been with her very long, when she left me on a veraf1- da with another umbrella so much like myself, I could hardly tell the difference, when she came out. she picked up the other umbrella and left me for the other lady, who took me home with her, rot Rowing the difference until some months after, when informed by the young lady, but each must haves thought a fair ex- change was no robbery. and I have re-
 mained (with exception) with my pres l ent owner ever since. I have been left in markets. grocery and dry goods ! stores. church and halls, but thus far 1 have been found and returned. Once she left me standing by meat table in l a market. When she missed me she was 1 about to start for home, she inquired of one of the clerks. He said she had not l left me there. Then she asked to leave 1 her bundles while she visited all the l other stores to lind me. When she re- 1 turned they asked if she had found me. 1 She said no, but thought she left !t there. Another clerk who was not in the first time said. What kind of an umbrel- 1 la was it?" and when she described it he said, why yes, it's there by the desk" So was saved that time. Once
 she took me with her to a large hall and placed me by the wall with 8 lot of um-
 brellas, wraps. hats and rubbers. The ladies were. all assembled in the main hall and judging by the sound of their
 voices, there must have been a grea!
 many present, visiting, talking and
 laughing After a while. I heard sing ing and 1t was the same tune had heard
 so many times when my mistress haf
 taken me to church-The Doxology,
 think they call 1t. Then the talking ant
 laughing began again and the dishes
 began to rattle and ladies were passing : back and forth serving food and coffee
 After dinner they seemed to be havint
 another sort of good time. I hear,
 some one say an entertainment was or i and occasionally I heard the clapping Q hands. When 1t was over my mistres
 Fathered.up her belongings and wft1t hnm.
 but sad to relate she, left me standinl l by the wall She must have sent som ] message by some one for I was takel down two long flights of stairs and lef in grocery store, where I was rescue
 the next day by a neighbor of my r1is tress. who, while trying to keep me l | l mind forgot and left one Of his pa ek az , l es in 3 store where she had purchased

LAVENDER PINCUsHIoNs AND GRAPE JUICE.

Dear Sisters: Am wondering how many who have lavendar beds ever take the trouble to save the blossoms and dry them. They arc delightful for many uses. A lavender filled pincushion is delightful. To make one all that :s needed is to mix the dried lavender blos- sons with equal parts of weil-dried bran. and stun tightly into small bolster or cube-shaped cushions made of uu- bleached calico. This material should be first washed and dried to remove the strong colored linen. and buttonholed with layender-colored silk
 Lavender bags of clear muslin. ha,1 filled with lavender. to place in draw CTS. and between the folds Of linen ir the linen cupboard should be renewed each year. They look specially dainty and attractive if tied lightly round the middle with a narrow ribbon of palt pink or lavender, or of the two com bined
 Many people are weaving small cush ion covers of colored raf1a. and n1itn. them with lavender. a completing touca l being provided by tassels of colored raf fla at each corner.
