SUGGESTED ways OF USING WIRE 4

4
 ,. Dear Social Corner sisters;aW We. sthrow away many little things in our homes that are really useful if we only khew 1t. Take for instance, &thes little wire clips that are used in offices. When sewing long seams of cloth, use them to fasten the edges of tbea cloth together and. no basting will be necessary. Turn ub a hem the desired depth and place the fasteners at the bottom edge.to hold in pace This also saves basting,.
 When cutting out a dress or anything that has to be pieced, use the fasteners to hold the piece on. Save circulars and advertising letters printed on but one side of the. paper Lay a number
 Of sheets together with plain sides up
 and fasten them at thes top swlth a clip
 and you will have handy memorandum
 pad. When cutting out pieces for patch
 work fasten the dark, pieces and light
 ones with a separate clip, When cutting recipes from the Social Corner page, fasten them together with clip until you are ready .to either copy; or paste them into a book. If you wish to faa- ten curtain back to keep 1t from blow: Ing against the screen. fasten the front edge to the back with a clip

NEW VENTURES w1rH PLANTS

Dear Social Corner Folks: have just finished "The Page. Each letter is. SO personal and helpful I'd like to answer every one.
 First want to thank Twice Twenty for her frosted custard pie recipe in It's three forms. I shall try 1t at the first chance on Monday morning.
 Peace asked about raising pansies from seed We have done 9 often and find the plants stronger and freer blocmors than any we ever bought. The seed should be sown rather early in the sum mer and the little plants set about six inches apart when they have three or four leaves In the fall they will be ready to start Sometimes in winter we have found them coming out at warm spelIs They require only a little protection and come on very early in the spring when they beneft much by frequent picking.
 am making two interesting ventures along new lines with plants this spring. One Is the raising of cyclamen from seed They are SO sRtisfactory- in winter but are expensive to buy. I got a pack age of seeds for twenty-five cents. There were eighteen seeds planted ther, very early about an inch apart in a box in the window. For nearly two moutEs there was no sign of life, Then one leaf began to peep up here and there until I have thirteen in all They look quite thrifty. I have them at the back of the veranda and would like to know if they would do better in the full sunshine or partial shade this summer. Ny husband often asks if my fortune will be made selling them or who win be he friends to receive them next Christ has. H
 My other venture Is a carnation plant purchased early from seed establish rnent. They bloom freely out of doors Fith ordinary care. This has a dozen CT more buds. I have it on the verauds In 2 pot as 1t came too early to set In the open ground where. it does equally we'll The blooms are practically ths same as we purchase at the green i1ouse
 Husband and I run the vegetabIe gar. den together. He prepares the soil nnG have the fun of planning and planting Then I can save him much time by doiYf the fine wedding while he does the hard CT digging between the rows The sor of work rests me and nobody minds if { neglect the extra frills of ilousekeepin, for a time as we are hungry and happ. enough to enjoy bread and milk an, berries for suppef. The children love |, be out with us and are learning how 1 Is done. They grow in the sunshine al day now.
 hope to meet more. of you at som Social Corner gathering this summer.

WHAT THE SOCIAL CORNER DOES Dear Cornerites: It was early spring. time and the birds, were singing. the boys playing marbles, the .tchipmonks,' running on the walls, and everything was coming to life, and eyerybody seemed to be happy.
 There were two boys who had been playing marbles, and becoming tired If their sport they sat down on some soan boxes near the. Socialville post office and were having 3 social chat. One was Tom Harris and the other Ned Spencer They had been good friends from tha cradle up to the present time. Tom was F and Ned was A. As they sat on the soap bo-.1s talking their conversation was oves ard by some of the bystard- CTS, who always spend much of their time at the Socialville country store and post office
 Ned said. Say. Tom,. there was a deuce of time at my home last night. The. house was full of folks until mid night". What was the troublee'' ask ed Tom. eoh. no trouble More joy than trouble. They alE seemed to be more than happy
 F. asked pa what it all meant and he said: Why. it is the Social Corner writers. They all meet here to have a good time and exchange thoughts and recipes.

COOLING BOX.

Dear Corner Friends: An emergency box was made in the following way and proved quite eenetive: A dry goods box about two feet square was made tight by deating the cover and adding hinges. A four-inch layer of sand was put in the bottom and three-galIon earthenware crock was placed in the center. The space around the jar was filled with sand. By dampenfng the sand from time to time the interior of the jar was kept at a sur- pristng low tenpe5rture. The above reads well and world make one if I could get some sand,
 I will try the old way Of placing one Jar within another and fill the space with water and set them in a granite pan of water and cover closely, keeping colth around the outside with the lower edge in the water and test the inside jar with the thermometer If the combination is placed near a north window it may be effective to a certain degree.
 Again, the good old summer time.

 The Way It Goes When it's spring. you catch a cold; Summer time, you're a neltin; When it's winteFs wood is scarce sieet an snow a speltin'. When you've got the cash in view, Plenty to befriend you < When you need dime or two. Not a soul to lend you When you're on the mountain top, Teieyeopes to spy you; When into the ditch you drop, Whole world passes by you Ain't a bit of use to fret Take t as you find 1t; Best world that you've been in yet; Laugh and never mind it.
 Boost Boost, and the world boosts with ycu {; Knock, and you're on the shelf; For the world is sick of the one who And wishes he'd kick himself. Boost when the sun is shining. Boost when it starts to -ain; If you happen to fall, don't lie there and But get up and boost again, Boost for the towns aIvancsment. Boost for the things sublime; For the chap -thatsson the top most sound Is the booster every time.
