WHAT MANY PEOPLE THROW

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner: In
these days when we are cleaning out
closets. attfcs and drawers we find many
things which are worth working over in
to useful articles If we only knew which
way to work them.
Some believe it best to throw them
away but the backs Of worn-out kid
gloves are most useful If cut out and

An old silk hat can be Skinned" and

SUGGESTION REGARDING CLUB
MEETINGS.

Lear Corner1teS. On w Wednesday May
;, 1 attended our monthly meeting of
Club No. 2 and as 1 sat there and no
ticed the Social Corner sisters coming
in, first only a few with the numbers
increasing into a crowded room which
extended into the ladies' room where the
hats and wraps are put, my Thoughts
drifted back to when we had only one
short table length to set down to the
good things the Social Corner sisters
know how to make. Each month a few
more plates were added until length after
length of the table sections we've add
ed, until May 3 we had two tables run
ming the length of the rom and then a
resetting for the Social Corner sisters
besides the hostess and her helpers.
What came to 1Ry mind was what a lot
of work for a few willing workers, for
it's hard to get responses al some of
the meetings for hostesses: Dinner was
not over until o'clock or little after,
which gives so very little time for en-
tertainment and then the Cornerites
start out to do some shopping and start
| for home.
I wish you would think over the
| thought that has come to me since the
May meeting, especially those that at
tended it. and tell me what you think
could be done to still carry on the good
| time, tighten the work and lRbors of the
willing few, meet the expenses of hall
and whatever expense may occur.
| First. How about a buffet lunch or
the meeting day, make coffee at the hall
use paper plates and bring our own cur
and silver.
Second. Have a lunch box picnic-fash
ion and put our food all together. and ie
each one do self service, on the samt
plan as Club No l.. for coffee, dishes ant
silver
Then the sisters could have entertain
ment, each coming prepared with music
song, poem, etc, exchange crocheting ant
fancy work and ideas, which we have no
been able to do of late.'
I would like to hear what you all thinl
| of it. Perhaps we could talk it over a
our next meeting if someone would prini
it UP for different ideas. One write
wrote write what your mind prompts
This is what mine prompts and so
sent it in. trusting you will take it as
have written it, to tighten the labors o
others and make a day of pleasure an
enjoyment for all.
With love and best wishes to all sis
tiers. old and new.

FRIENDS
MANDY.

Dear Corner Sisters: The thought
comes over me this morning that the
word friends is used by everybody in con
versation and we do you stop and think
what it means? In my mothers day
there were friends and 1t meant mucn
when you said this is my friend or they
arc friends of mine or ours. In sickness
or trouble they would come to you and
help you. If you had worried mind a
talk with your dear friend relieved it
axd you knew you could trust that friend
and it would go no further. If you had
bill to meet and was not prepared to
meet It that friend came forward ami
leaned you and helped you out.
( But today how different When you
see people who smile so sweetly, greet
you and visit with you, ask you to call
on them and the next report you hear is
that awful remark about you. many times
containing untruths. being a story Miss
or Mrs So and So told that perhaps you
never Geamed OF heard of until it comes
back around the circle. No. that is not
the frieA1shi1l that cur nsouhers and
grandmothers were used to and il we come
across such a friend, that is a true
friend, 1 think their names should be
written in book OF pure gold and placed
where those who want to read them

pure kind of friends like everybody ha:

MORE HELP M1rH TEE PLANTS.

Dear Editor and Friends: AS 1 prom
ised to help you start your hardy gar
den by giving my experience and it Is
time now to SOW, I will give you few
more names for continuous bloom, which
may be started from seed under the con-
ditions mentioned in my April letter. In
the following list are the slower grow
ing, /. e. takes two years, columbines,
SALIVA, Azurea, delphisum, platycodon,
oriental poppy, etc, and these will self
sow if given a chance excepting sal
via aEurea.
The following list start one year
ahead: Lupine, gaillardia, fox glove,
hollyhock, Sweet William, delphinium,
bellamosum, companala persicifolia,
and sweet rocket. To bloom well twelve
months later lupines need best soil and
plenty of watering.
Achillea, hychinis, coreopsis, lanceo-
lata, valerian officianalis and rudbekia
are long lived, therefore are very de-
sirable.
Sweet William Is so easily grown 1t
| is best to grow new each year like
campanula medium and discard the old
roots giving its place to a later bloom
| ing annual. The best of the hardy an
nuals are, corn flowers, shirley poppy
| larkspur (annuaD, anthems andfever-
few. If allowed to self-sow in August
| they will bloom in the following May
| and June if covered lightly with leaves
| or hay over winter. Then sow these
again in spring to bloom in summer and
fall. The next in hardness of the an.
nuals are pansies, English daisies. snap
| dragon. dianthus, etc. Snap dragon will
not winter without cold frame. Thest
all may be sown in the open now tt
bloom later. OF course, early blooms
may be had by sowing In February o,

Friends Of the Social Corner: Read
ing Cretia's interesting letter made me
think Of an old New England Primer
Improved. or an easy and pleasant guide
to the art of reading and the
Assembly's Catechism. That is the way
it is written on the first page. My
grandfather learned to read and spell
from it, 50 he used to tell me. The
date is 1924. It is all the book they
had to learn letters, spelling and read
ing from. The first lesson in reading is
In Adams fall. he sinned all. The cat

picture Of the subject being with each

esting book.

them in the open in August for spring
blooming!
Do not overlook the annual lupine gail
lardia, calliopsis, scabiosa, calendula and
sweet Allysum, some of the tender an
nuals, however, are the most continuous
bloomers-begonias, heliotrope, scabib-
sa- ageratum and others.
Sow asters, balsam and candytuft at
intervals of three weeks and you will
have plenty of blooms. Transplant with
wood ashes if possible and use tobacco
dust near the roots. This will keep root
lice away from asters.
Canterbury bells planted in, April may
be transplanted June 1, 6 or inches
apart and September 1 to II inches
apart. For protection next. winter am
going to use the Stat covering. Will
! tell you about it later if any wish to

roots of most plants when using plenty

es the fight begins on insects and

and suggestions. For immediate use on
roses to keep the bugs away. make a
| mixture of three pints of sweet milk
| three pints of kerosene and two quarts
| of water and agitate well, using ont
pint of this to each gallon of water and
| spray once in two weeks from now. unit
! June Is. For other insects you have
to use arsenate Of lead. The directions
are on the package. The sucking insects
| which fasten on, may be conquered
with kerosene emulsion. The green fy
/ may be conquered with tobacco dust Oh
tobacco tea.
| Mealy bugs spray with tobacco wat
ter.
| Root lice you will not have If yol
plant with tobacco dust. However, i
the plants begin to droop without appar
ent cause dig little about the root
and drop in some tobacco dust or steel
tobacco stems and water the plants
thoroughly with it.
For blight spray once in two week
with Bordeaux mixture, which you cal
/ buy in small quantities if you wish
For mildew, dust lightly with sulphu
powder.
U. G. E.: Set your little plants out t
tougher for a week in a partially shad
ed nook and then transplant seven in
chts apart in good soil to grow for tw
months Then transplant again a foe
