TRYING TO DODGE THE RAIN


 ;. Dear Editor. and Social Corner Sisters I think it is high time I wrote you and let you all know I am still in the land of the living. I have been going and coming so much, that at times I hardly knew which way was going. At present I am home,
 Now I leave 1t. to you to guess whether l am there or here. I was all ready to go to Ocean Beach August 2nd and had made a special trip up. to Swat Williams to get her two youngest children to take down with me But the weather man said no. It rained over our house so all day it was a case of stay at home, the roof had no chance to get dry. At three in the afternoonSI I had g phone message from cousin saying come up and bring the children and stay. to tea. 1 said it looks just like calling it just pouring. Why she said it. is lovely here. the side walks are as dry as can be Well, said, if it clears of before bed time I will bring the children up. At five we started and managed to arrive at herahouse. But it was raining when we came home, but it did not rain hard enough to spoil clothes or disposition. We went the next day. The children dug in the sand and padded in the water and gathered shells They had a lovely time. Marjorie said the river was so-big she could not see the end of it.
 I am always pleased to hear pleas ant voice say I believe this Is Sister Ready, or whom have we here? I was pleased to meet Olga recently. It was hard to tell which talked the fastest I also met Married and Happy rece4tiy
 All, those that have had death enter the family please accept my sympathy. In July death entered our family and took two. On Saturday, the sth, the other on Sunday. The shock was great and I have been upset ever since. When the great call comes it has to be answered. Our loss is their gain
 With best wishes remain as ever,
 SISTER READY.

butter to corn. In melting butter care should be taken that the butter does not bubble. Add eggs slightly beaten and hot milk. If the corn is very Solid add two cups of milk. Mix lightly and turn into a buttered baking dish. Bake about 45 minutes in 8 moderate oven. The custard should be firm to the touch when done.
 Corn Puff: One cup corn, four eggs. one tablespoon four, one-quarter cup milk, one teaspoon sugar, one tablespoon butter, one tablespoon salt, one-quarter teaspoon pepper.
 Beat whites and yolks of eSgs sep arately, yolks till thick and lemon col pred and whites till stiff and dry. Add four, butter, salt, sugar, pepper, milk and yolks of eggs to corn. Fold in whites and turn into a buttered bak ing dish. Bake half an hour in a mod crate oven.
 A very good luncheon dish is made by combining corn, canned tomatoes. one sweet green pepper and one-half an onion with coarse buttered crumbs. Gov CT each layer of vegetables with crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until the crumbs are brown, This is an excel lent way to use up left-overs, but it should be remembered that no great amount of nourishment is provided.

the filling in which was done both ways up and down, the same as checking only cross-wsys. Then the ends of the cane were fastened on the wrong side and it was all finished except binding off A wide cane was furnished which covered the holes and the common cane was put up the hole and over the wide can, and down the same hole and so on round the frame. Many families with numerous children made business of seating chairs and it was source of revenue and sup piled the needs of many household. Then 1t was all changed and the chair shops put out no more seating to families It was all sent to the jails and penal institutions and I suppose Is today.

If should try to put one on paper I might leave out something or the ingredients might not be right which would be failure for a new cook. Let me tell you how a young woman made her first cake. i.s
 She measured out the butter with a very solemn air, and the milk and sugar also, and she took the greatest care to count the eggs correctly. and all bit of baking powder which beginners off forget; but never quite forgave herself for leaving out the -four.

 "One has to be up to date to keep up with the crowd?" True-probably. But what does that mean? Why should one always want to keep up with the crowd? ? Are crowds noted for wisdom of action, calm delight, happiness even7 Or, rats CT, for restless excitement, airnless hur- rying, pushing, and scraml-sing? Why not think a little fartherZ
 It's no sin to want to be in the fashion. It's probably wise-provided one I'esn't go too far. But it's far more satisfying in tie end to follow truth and unity along with it and not to be afraid to part company if paths diverge.
 Best wishes to the Corner.

Dear Social Corner: I am not q mem Der of the Corner but wanted to. tell you how much We appreciate Kitty Lou's let ters in our home. We look for them, they are So inspiring and believe you are a friend to every one like Aunt Mary. Isrniss her letters 50 for she was always there with her nice cheery letters. Kitty Louis letters have taught that the great high road of huIaen welfare ies along the pathway of steady well doing and those who are most persisten. and work in the truest spirit will in- variably be the most successful; success tread on the heels of every right effort. A few months ago you wrote a let ter about girls working.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: Some of us have such craze for up to dateness, we had rather be dead than out of fashion as regards dress, thought or ac- tion. We seek for the latest, and, if possible, antedate that. Old standards we ignore them. Old truths-we pro- nounce trite. worn out
 That might all aid appreciably in world progress if it were only based on firm foundations But it is far from so being. Real truth Is never ''trite"- worn out" Pads soon become just that, and are thrown into the discard. Truth is ever the same in it's fundament- als.
 Look over the past decade and note the discarded fads and follies. The way is. strewn with them. That of itself should prove their inferiority. The source of their inception should be an addi-

 To be applied with liberal use of the lubricant of humor. Recommended for all patients and im-patients especial ly for those who suffer or make others suffer from a sour spirit.

THIRTY-TWO.
ARE CLUB NO. SISTERS TAKING
 A VACATIONP

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: Through a misunderstanding did not receive my yellow slip" for the prize letter won in July until last week, therefore delay in sending my thanks. But better late than never"
 Was pleased to learn that the letter in regard to the Hair Albums" caused lola .to write so interestingly of other antique articles made from hair.
 I have hair ring made from my mothers hair, exactly like Iola's des- cription, and when I was quite a young girl my father had a watch chain made from my sisters hair, it was woven in tubular strands, then twisted in rope effect, and mounted with gold, and really was very attractive looking and artfstIc, too and worn for many years.
 It seems to me that the sisters in Club No must be taking a vacation from letter writing, as their names do not appear on the Social Corner page. The summer Is nearly over and maybe as the fall comes on they will take greater in terest
 Will close my letter by sending in tive recipes that I have never seen in the Social Corner.

TOMATOES AND UMBRELLA SUP
 PORTS,

Dear Corner Sisters and Editor: The cheerful colored tomatoes are with us again, the red being most in evidence while the yellow displays The Corner color.
 They certainly are like a growing family and need much attention to bring them up in. the way they should go- All kinds of strings and wires are needed to tie them to supportefs. At last utilized some old umbrella frames. tied them to poles and when opened the points were bent down and l call them the revival of the hoop-skirts.
 Last spring if I had thought about them, should have set the gladiola bulbs in a double circle and the frame in the center and with the stalks tied to the ribs the blossoms would display theil l beauty in a compact form.
 This idea is building for next year

My KlnKdom

And leave flies daily turmoil all behind Here I am supreme master Of my fate Herein choose, and take the path 1 will; Though storms may ragc without, here all is still. And here all lasting pleasures on me wait. Here adverse circumstance is shorn of power, And wealths gay trappinss lose their weight and charm; None but myself herein can work me harm, And no mischance can cloud my peace full hours.

WHERE FIGURED RUGS ARE MOST
 LY USED,

Social Cornerites: In room where the upholstery is plain it is permissible to use a figured rug, especially when the walls are simply treated but the design must be inoonscipuous and the coloring subdued.
 think. though. as rule figured rugs are at their best in halls and dining rooms. In the first case, the constant tracking in of mud. and in the second the. inevitable spots and spills are least noticeable on figured surface The flr4 niture being limited in kind and quality and seldom upholstered.
