THE OLD FASHIONED MOTHER.

Mir. Editor and Social Corner Sisters: As I was standing in the open door the other day, I heard these words spoken: Such an old fashioned mother" spoken by a girl, and I thought to myself how many old fashioned mothers can you find these days-theAmO who in her dark calico dress and big gingham apron al- ways combed her hair before getting breakfast, a mother who knew just what to do if you cut finger or when bare foot hurt your toe, oJI one that always thought of home and loved ones there knew nothing about lodges or the movies as the mothers do today
 Yes, just an old fashioned mother with her hair parted in the middle, combed back so straight and smooth, to whom you could go for comfort when in trouble, and found her true blue, or one that on Sunday went to church and tried to profit by what she heard and tried so hard to live as she understood she should. I wonder if we had just a few of these old fashioned mothers that the young people of today condemn to the back seat if the world would not be the better for their being here? I think so, don't you?
 If young girls had so many yards of yarn measured off to them to knit up or
 
 had to go to bed at D. m, we would not need any white way on our streets at night, or to have the curfew bell ring to go home. If young girls had to have l mother or some older company than themselves when they go to dances I wonderif there would be as many suicides | of young girls who get discouraged with going the pace that they do nowadays and perhaps if such a one had had an l old fashioned mother to talk to and ad- | wise her and keep her under the home | roof, she might have been a different girl | and not know the sorrow she did know l But we all have to play the game l Old fashioned or modern, we are on the | screen for the movies of life, each ar actor or actress, taking a part in life's chances. but I would like to say to the | girls and boys in future years the old fashioned mother will be the one for yot to think of and love in old home mem ories, when you wTl sit of an evening with your mind on days of the past ant think of what was your home when sh, left 1t for the realms above.
 So don't be ashamed of your mothe because she is behind you in some thing at the present time. For as she is toda, so you, too. will be in years to come perhaps just as old fashioned as som are today

DEALING WITH A BADLY BUSTED
 SINK

Dear Sisters: One of the sisters in uuired a few weeks ago what to do Tor a rusty sink and the replies have seemed Co me to deal with a sink that was only slightly rusty. I have one that is used only in warm weather that will always pet more or less rusty over winter and this Is my way of cleaning 1t. Wet the sink all over with kerosene and allow lt to stand a little while to penetrate the rust. then scrub with fine sand and soap suds or a solution of sal soda. using an old scrubhing brush that you can dis rard when through Wash out thoroughly and let dry. Then I should think an ap- nlIca4ion of Three-in-one oil that one sis ter suggested would be fine to keep 1t from rusting again.
 Delfah Deal: Thanks for birthday card. One birthday gist that I am en- towing was an amaryllis just ready to bloom and t now has three lovely blos- sonns in the cluster and another that s-iu open soon. To a lover of flowers what more acceptable gift can there be than A plant or bulbs that hold the nromise of future surprises?

LEARNING THE VALUE OF MONEY

Dear Social Cornerites: Think 1t is about time that I answered to the roll call The other sisters have so hnauv nice things to say that there seemed to be nothing that I could say that would be interesting. but after reading about pocket money for children thought I would write about my two little girls. eleven years old. We live in the coun- try. so they have a small garden each and whatever they raise they sell, and as there were quite number of sum mer boarders in this part of the coun- try they had no trouble in disposing of what they raised. They decide each for themselves what to plant. Last year one of them decided to raise lettuce and I think she had the handsomest heads of lettuce I ever saw. In this way they learn the value of rnoney and I think girls should be taught that as well as boys

 Free Air: Thanks for the card. Should like to meet you, and maybe will be able to some time. Hope you will have good luck with your sink with what you are trying now.
 wonder if any of the sisters have the words to the song, The Faded Coat of Blue? I have seen where some of you have sent in words to other old songs and thought perhaps you might have the words to this one.

leather goods may be beautifully polish ed by rubbing them well with the inside of a banana skin ana then polishing with a soft dry cloth.
 In washing sandy vegetables such as spinach, use largo pan and drain off the water carefully that the sand may not go down the sink pipe. Even a spoon of sand will cut and wear a pipe more than gallons of water. It cannot be to strongly impressed on the memory that the waste sink and drain pipes are intended for the passage of water only, not for bits of paper, burnt matches. etc A very little carelessness in this respect may lead to 8 large plumbers bAl

What GrandmOther Had.

Grandmother used to go and see Folks who were sick and make them tea Of boneset and camomile And fuss around the bed and smile And not go till some neighbor came That she was sure would do the same. Unless they met her at the door And put up an emphatic roar About it's being smallpox or Some ailment to be watched for She never even stopped to ask If while about her loving task Herself might be endangered. No, She hadn't read her Bible so. She'd only found the texts that said Sick have ye tended" hungry fed" And such old fashioned foolishness Ere modern wisdom came to bless.

She lives only about mile from me, so I hope to call on 1her ere you see this letter. She knows two other mem bers near by, so that makes four of us. Now if we can only find a few more we can perhaps form club. Let us hear from you members who live between those places.
 Silent Partner: saw Tom Grinnell when I was a child. He would say Tom won't hurt anybody" As child I used to "dress up.' and when would be parading around I remember hearing my grandmother say: Well, here comes Liz Stetson p I never saw her, but imagine sine dressed up'' too.
 How many of you are putting down eggs? I do, in water glass. It is such a saving.
 would not advise anyone to paint sink. I had a tin bathtub painted once, but where the water would drip from the faucet it got all rusty. If ever have one shall try Canterbury Bells remedy. Here's hoping I hear from more mem bers who live in this section.
