tinges the complexion of an admired schoolmate,s mind. This child. a little olden than charlotte, was visiting her one day and the mother heard a conver- sation which excessively displeased her She waited. however. until her own daughter remarked; well, don't see either what she lives on this avenue forl She doesn't dress nicely at all. and her mother doesn't keep any maid"
 Charlotte, what are you talking ?'' was the inquiry then made. Come here, both of you, and tell me all about it."
 They said this little girl in question, had not had a new dress in ever so long f' that she had to he1p her mother in the kitchen and help her with the dish es and that no maid was kept.
 Charlotte, I am ashamed of you,' was the wise mothers comment "I did not know you were so Ignorant. You cant tell by the fact that no maid is kept how much or how little money any one has. You don't know that your father and I have so much. Because we live in a large, we'll furnished house, keep 8 maid and own an automobile, Is no indication that we have an over abundance of money. For all you know, 1t might be more to our credit to dis pense with both.5 Tn any event, while money fs convenient ft is not the very uesC lnlnR III the world.
 Remember. daughter, that society Is but 3 succession of steps, We keep but one maid. If your judgment of Leila AL liston Is correct. if you would like to be measured by the same standard, Clara Hamniond had better not play with you flor her mother keeps three servants. l would like to become better acquainted with a little girl who is so helpful to her mother Suppose you run tight over tc Mrs Alliston's-Mabel will excuse you for few minutes-and invite Leila tc lunch with you tomorrow-art1 to spend the afternoon"
 Rather unwillingly the little daughter went. The next evening this mother ano daughter had a confidential talk Those unfortunate ideas had been suggested bS the talk of other children at school. And
 only chance had revealed it to the moth, | CT. t There may be weeds of similar na l ture to uproot from your little ones i hearts, and mother can usually only dis
 cover them when she Is in close com
 panionship with the children, when sh, has shown so great an interest and s, tender a love, so just a discrimination
 that the child's heart will 6e as an ope, book before her, which the little daugh l ter will never care to throw any cove, l over when she realizes that mother ant mothers love can always be relied upon KITTY LOU.

among them one or two classics. The other act was a man and woman who did an extremely graceful and beanr- ful, as we'll as difficult dance. Did they get lot of applause? Not so you could notice it. I waited second ana then, when there was only little scattered applause, I elapped my hands so hard they hurt I felt like a fool and So con spicuous: and hate being conspicuous. but 1t "got my goat" to see the audience sitting there like 8 lot of sticks, so l made up my mind that I, at least, would show my appreciation.
 There is not one of us but likes appre- citation. So why not show our appreci- ation of others when 1t is deserved2 Why wait for people to die before putting flowers on them? I don't want any one putting flowers on my grave want them now when I can appreciate them. The members of the church to which l belong have a rather pretty custom The week of the anniversary of the pass ing of some loved one they put flowers on the platform of the church as 8 l memorial and after the services they are sent to the homes of the sick. Is that not better than putting them on the
 grave? Putting them on the grave may
 satisfy some morlNd senkiment, but
 does no real good.
 It is some jump from vaudeville tc
 the cemetery and back but when
 take my pen in hand I never know what

 ble to jump from politics to pickles
 so here goes back to vaudeville again
 If we want our managers to give us i really worth while acts we must show our appreciation of them when we dt ! get them. Why reserve all our applause for jazz. and foolish and clownish acts | Once again, must refer to the aetor'l
 remark Some hick town" Is he right.
 I guess it is up to Norwich to prove | differently.

SOME. SWEET HOME.


 MT. Editor and Social Corner Read CTS: wonder. this beautiful June morn Ing. what this old world would be If none of us loved our homes
 A little child will yet hurt or angry and will say want to go home to moth CT. It means to them to find love and comfort and where they can usually find rest in mothers arms. AS the chil- dren grow older and go to school, they get tired and want to 20 home to find rest.
 When sickness and trouble come we want our homes our dear ones, and where we usually find freedom and do as we like.
 Some want to go home to rest, some to take comfort, some to be near the dear ones and find love that every hu- man heart hungers for at times And in home where peace and harmony reign you will usually find love.
 But how many men reach home after a hard days work, tired. cross and hun gry, and find discord there, no supper, no easy chair for them, fault finding and scoldingl Is that rest for the one who labors for those in that home? Noi Such a one may be peeved, go out with out supper and slam doors. Some swear and some don't, being afraid the neigh bors might hear them. The tired wife sits down, cries and wishes she was a girl again. So from little things big ones grow till they both decide that they hate each other. Don't you think they both need a change? I do. Let each go into a true home where harmony is and stay few days and like taking a good dose of medicine, they will fec better. said to a gentleman the other q t,a eoid -ie11a I,a through with the world.

MANDY.
CLUB No. ? NOT TO MEET UNTIL
 OCTOBER

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Good morning, everybody! I am going to chat with you all and tell you who were not at Club No. 2's meeting June and what we voted to do.
 The summer time brings so ;. many outdoor picnics that Club No. 2 will not hold any more meetings in Buckingham Memorial until October. Owing. to such large number of Social Corner sisters at the dinners and such Ebig piles of dishes to do we will in October ask ey- eryone coming to dinner to bring their own cup, plate, knife. fork and spoon with the dishes the food is on. Besides the serving of dishes to each one it has become a hard task for Nellie By. It has taken three people to clean up the dishes and she hasn't been able for more than year to come up stairs and visit with us, so remember to tell oth- CTS they are to bring their own dishes tc use for dinner There will be enough work for Nellie By to wash up those used to serve the food set on the table With the increase in members at dinner we must find way to reduce labor ol start 1t by bringing our own dishes like Club No. 1 does at their hall. Please keep this in mind and don't come ant say ssOh, forgot it." One forgotten may not mean much, but for several to for get means pile of extra work for some one else.
 As you depend on me to look aftel different things about the meeting 0 1 Club No. 2 you must expect me to lool oltsfor the labors of those who ar willing to work so please take this in ; kindly way and thank you,
 I, want to thank all those who have S kindly and willingly served in any ant all ways to make the dinners q sueces for Club No. ?. During the year yo' have done your parts well and no com plaintss are heard. Again I thank Yol one and all.
 We have sent out quite a number o Il sunshine boxes, flowers. fruit and gift Eduring the year. As my report shove

GIVE TO WORLD THE BEST YOU
 HAVE

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sisters Here is Salome with change in cos tune, also in name. 1 hope she will do better than she did with the first. I think 1t was a name that just seemed to fit me as I always found something needing doing to improve each shin ing hour I hope the owner of 1t will pardon me for taking it without inten- tion of wrong, not knowing that a sis ter had a better claim to it. I hope to meet her some time in the future. I think we should all be social and happy together if we take the right meaning of the Social Corner. If you take note of the happiest people in the world, you will discover that they are making others happy. There are loyal hearts. there are spirits brave, there are souls. that are pure and true. Then give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. Then give to the world that pleasant smile that cheers their troubles away, for life is the Mirror of the King and Slave. 'Tis just what we are and do. Then give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.

Dear Social Corner: Once upon a time a vaudeville actor made the remark about Norwich, Some hick town.s' The people of another city speak of Norwich as "The City of the Unburied Dead" Will the result of the last election con- firm or contradict these people? Now I wonder.
