THREE PRIZES MONTHLY: $250 Award made the last Saturday in each SOCIAL CORNER POEM Little Words By Sylvia Silverthorne.

One little word, I would I might recall. Only a little word, in haste all heedless spoken, Only a little word, but by it hearts were broken; That little word, I would I might recall. One little word, I would I might unsay, For, ere I pondered, quick my lips it left. And of a friend's sweet trust found one all bereft; That little word, I would I might unsay. One little word.

I would I might forget, For bitterly it rings adown the years, So painful echoes, In unwilling cars, That little word. I would I might forget. i Ah! How a little word may fill a life with sorrow, Alas! The arrow sped we may not e'er recall. In vain then, deep regrets, tears, anguish all, (lie hasty word may fill a life with sorrow. Sent in by Juliet.

GREETINGS FROM READY. Dear Social Corner Sisters: What a long time of silence for one -hat had so much to say at one time. Although silent I have lost no interest and have kept track of all Social Corner doings. I have been glad for those who could enjoy what I had to miss. I had a vacation and nothing doing the week I was free.

I did not leave the city as I have been surrounded by Infantile paralysis. Wo have had nc new case for one week, and tomorrow school commences. I have had glimpses of the Sisters, but have had only a chance to speak to Practical Polly. She was talking with Goldrnrod. After a trying summer here we are In the fall.

Already leaves are turning and falling; and the beautifui flower gardens I have had to admire are looking theworse for wear. These cool days "the man of the house" is getting anxious to place the wood box. I asked him ono day where it was and he said he did not know; and a few days after a Social Corner Sister called and went and hunted it up. When he found a place for it the first one who corn's and sits on it, 1 will give a cup ami s- ucfr. I will send word as soon as he makes up his mind where wants to put it.

C. B. Sweet William sent me a picture of her family all In a row. Ixmks like a pair of stairs a-3 each one Just about as much taller than the other. Very cute.

Aunty Xo. 1: Kad I known sooner when you were going to have your picnic I would liave waited. About every one up this 'way Is mak-ine- tattin. Frozen How are "you Theoda: I thought I should have called before this late day. Bachelor Maid: I hope you are well.

Love to your sisters. I trust M. Roen.i, Killie, Potlatch and Dreamer will answer as promptly as I have. I should enjoy reading letters from some of our first writers. All new members are welcome.

With best wishes to all. SISTER READY. SPANISH OMELET. Dear Social Corner Sisters: The Following is a very palatable dish: Spanish Omelet Chop one-half can Df tomatoes, one medium-sized onion, one-half pound of boiled ham or chicken or lamb. Cook all together until onion is tender.

Drain off any tomato juice, beat six eggs until light, add one-fourth cup of finely chopped combine the two mixtures, season with salt and pepper and cook as an ordinary-omelet. EVENING STAR. Wlllimantic. ALWAYS HOPEFUL. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Although I have not written for a long time, I never lose interest in the letters and always turn to the Social Corner page first when our paper comes.

I have only attended one picnic this summer the one at Olga's. and we certainly had a fine time there. Was very sorry to hear of the death of Sister Hope, as I had received a card from her only a very short time before her death, saying she was feeling better. I think her pen name fitted her as she was always so cheerful, and hopeful, with always a kind word for everyone. Will close hoping to meet all the Sisters October 11th.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The bar of soap we call homely and do no I think very much of is a very good friend to the housewife for cleansing purposes.

If your door should squeak or if it should shut too closely, making a squeaking noise -when it is opened, put soap on the edges that mo together and your door will open and close noiselessly. This also applies to drawers, shutters or any place when two surfaces rub together. When you are cutting a dress and desire it marked, shave a piece of soap to a point. The pattern can be laid on and the outline marked with soap, so it con be cut absolutely correct. This method for marking is splendid for turning hems, or placing trimming or butts.

Shave a bar of yellow soap (3trons) Into a gallon of water and let it simmer on the back of the stove until it reaches the consistency of jelly; into this stir one ounce of carbolic acid and pour into all cracks around a sink and drain pipes to rid the kitchen of i a i ill I LI ULIlCfi VCI 11J1I1. 1L 141 1VJU bedbugs or any kind of vermin; but do not let the children get it as it is deadly rpoison. If your shoes are loose and persist in rubbing, boles, in the heel of your stockings, rub a little soap on in the back of your shoe. Soap shaved with parrafin will do a wash without rubbing. Soap rubbed on linen napkins will help ycu turn a' hem without much trouble.

Embroiderers, or those women who delight in doing tine drawn work, will be giad to know if that portion of the linen that is to be worked is rubbed with a slightly dampened cake of soap, there will be no trouble whatever in drawing the thread in the material. Soap can be used in plac-s of wax for your thread. Soap is used by carpenters to run steel nails into before driving into the wood, also nails and screws. There are several other uses for soap. OH you ever suspect these uses for it ThPse secrets are yours now.

I thank Blanche and Clara of Canterbury for their nice letters. I hope Clara of Canterbury dyed her china berries all right. She was the only Sister who sent for the china berries. Do you know these berry chains soil for $3.50 in Charleston. S.

C.7 I gave some to a lady in Uncasville and also down lo Trading Cove and tlif traes are beautiful. 'The Sisters paid me such high compliments i have come back for a short timo. ETHBLYX. COURTEOUS CONDUCT Sisters of the Social Corner: Not lorei? ago one of the Sisters had an interesting letter concerning good manners of children, and I thought there were many good points, for older ones to take note of. We all admire a wall mannered boy or girl, as according to the "old saying "handsome is, that handsorna does," "beauty is only skin deep." If it is essential that children should be taught to he polite and courteous and if they lail, or neglect to carry instructions out, they are often spurned or criticised by their elders, it would seem that "grown-ups" should not need be requested to be courteous to those they may come in contact with in a public way.

But we observe this fact, that in all local railroad stations there are posters kindly asking people to take time to be courteous to railroad employes. Many there are who regard those whose services are for the public, as mere servants, only to be hastily spoken to, many times with contempt, but on the other hand, those people are and often their favors and helps are not met with a spirit of appreciation. This also applies to the groceryman, milkman, and not infrequent to the clerks behind the counters in the department stores. It is ft poor rule that don't work both ways. If we expect those serving us from a public standpoint, to be courteous, why is it not Just as fair for them to -expect courtesy from us A good motto t6 follow: "Live and let live." JENNIE.

COMMENDED RECIPES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have a few seasonable recipes I should like to have some of you try: Carrot Salad Two cups raw grated carrots, 2 cups shredded lettuce, 1-2 cup French dressing flavored with 1 tablespoon of grated onion, 1 tablespoon finely -chopped parsley or green peppers. Wash, scrape and grate the carrots on the downward stroke (coarse grater.) Put on shredded lettuce, cover with dressing and sprinkle with peppers or parsley. Squash Muffins Put two-thirds of a cup of cooked squash Into a bowl. Add; a quarter cup sugar, one well-beaten egg, two cups and three-quarters of flour, half a teaspoon of salt, three teaspoons of baking powder, and two tablespoons of melted butter.

Mix and bake in spoons of melted butter. Mix and buttered gem pans 25 minutes. i Spanish Hash Chop together four cold boiled potatoes, two small onions, and one green pepper, then add one cup of chopped cold roast meat of any kind, and one cup of tomatoes. Season with pepper and salt, and three drops of tabasco sauce; then add osje egg well beaten. Drop by spoonfuls Into muffin pans.

Bake In hot oven. Stuffed Eggplant Out the stem end off the peel, scrape out the center, and put all together In a weak brine for 45 minutes. Drain the pieces scraped out of the center, chop fine and mix with meat as for stuffed tomatoes, adding a Ifttle ocam. Put into a deep earthen dish -With plenty of butter and a little water, cover well and bake in the oven, basting frequently until done. I feel perfectly safe in commend- ing these recipes to Sisters fond of new dishes.

HANNAH WHO. THINGS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. Dear "Social Corner of the" little helps remembered become, continuous blessings-. Here are a few which- may- become so: Shears big common shears, such as used to cut thick felt are mighty useful around the kitchen. They are invaluable when it cornea to cutting the joints of fowl, trimming lettuce, preparing grape-fruit and other things about the kitchen.

They fit in in a hundred unexpected ways. If shoes pinch anywhere they can be stretched by wringing a cloth out of boiling water and laying it over the shoe where it is tight. Repeat the process several times. This expands leather, allowing It to stretch to the need of the foot. Soft coma may be cured by rubbing them with camphor each night and morning and covering them with common chalk.

Salt is a good tonlo for falling hair. Put a teaspoonful of salt into half a pint of water and apply it to the roots of the hair -two or three times a week. Twice a week rub in a- little vaseline. In taking down a stove pipe, if any soot -should fall upon the carpet or rug, cover quickly with dry salt before sweeping. An old-fashioned remedy for grimy red, rough hands, is to mix cornmeal with vinegar into a paste and apply to the hands two or three times a day, after washing and rinsing them well In warm water.

Paper bags in which articles' come from the grocery should be saved for use about the range. The hand can be slipped into one of these bags, and the range rubbed olf without soiling the hand- From one who knows their worth. CHARLOTTE. SOMETHING FOR INVALIDS. Dear Social Sisters: The sunshine clubs who serve the invalid and the poor and the crippled teach the little attentions which brighten up life a little.

They send tiny jars of jelly or of honey just enough for a meal whet the appetite by being only a tempting dab. Calf's foot Jel-liea come in new "packages," and in a semi-liquid form meant to be chilled, before serving to a quaking substance that literally melts in your mouth. Ind'-vtdual breakfast sets. milk-toast plates, with a lid to keep the food hot; tiny teapots just for one; egg-cups and spoons, trays little or big; there are a thousand things to suggest from small carafe with its tumbler to match (which can be found for 10 cents) to the loveliest, costliest comfit box in which to disguise the tiresome pill and powder boxes. A to clocks, write vol -Times, upon what they mean in.

the m.irkirg off of weary hours, especially those wirh "radium faces," that tell time in the dark. Reading stands to screw on to the arm of a chair or to stand on the bed -table are a big comfort when even a light book seems heavy. It's in the way of its giving that many a gift doubles its value. A hot-water bottle, wearing its knitted cover like a doll's dress and with a rhyme attached, amused one little cripple so much that on bad days 'Hot Dolly" always helped. A thoughtful girl sent an invalid a tall single-flower vase with a single American Pieauty bud, and followed her gift up every fsw days, as soon as she thought the flower would be faded, by a beautiful blossom or spray.

One time she sent Just three slender twigs of pussy willows, with their fuzzy "pussies" well in evidence. Often a little thing affords for the shut-ins much joy. SITSIE. AZALEA'S PARTY. Dear Editor and Sisters: What summerlike days we are having, and this 3rd of October reminds me of the 27th of September when one of the pleasantest gathering? of the season tool; place at Azalea's.

There were eleven of the Social Corner members. To say we had a jolly time is putting it lightly, as all you Sisters are aware. The hostess gave us a cordial welcome, and the table was so laden with of various kinds more tempting than one could bear, as a Sister remarked, "It tasted more-ish" but ot eat more to this Sister the writer was obliged to say: Well, the day passed off so delightfully. In the evening all returned to their homes, except Roxatia Wince and Trottiewbo returned with Hulc'a and was kindly entertained at her home over night and next dav. Married and Happy and Theoda: You were missed at the gathering.

Trust you are improving M. and H. and Theoda you must have been having a fine time at the shore enjoying the eea breezes. How I should have enjoyed being with you, for I like the salt air so much. How many of the Sisters are going to Aunty No.

October 11th? I wish to thank Slim Jim for birthday card- As I do not know the Sister personally, I thank her in this way. Good wishes for all. TROTTIE. THE SOCIAL CORNER STANDS FOR THE BEST IN THE HOME. Dear Social Corner Sisters- I was thinking this morning of the days spent at Aunt Abby's and Aunt Mary's and I wish we could have a little club right here In Plainfield.

It is hard for some of us to get to Wlllimantic and Norwich. People are beginning to understand that The Corner is more than a lot of women getting together to gossip. I believe in real old-time gossip the kind that keeps us in touch with old friends. I am old fashioned enough to have more interest in the doings of Aunt Mary's grandchildren; the progress of Whip-poor-will's small school boys; Aunt Abby's flowers; Crimson Rambler's family and Paula's farm work than in the doings of the ancient Greeks. I am interested in the doings of the outside world and so are other Sisters.

We have many who can tell us of travel and visits to places of interest. If we could meet once In a while during the winter to talk things over I think it would help us all. I wish we could meet together and talk it over. The Social Corner stands for the best in the home and in the lives of the Sisters; and it is being read and talked of by others even by the men. ETTA BARBER.

Plainfield. HOW TO. KNIT TABLE M-ATS. Dear Sisters: I am lonely tonight with no one to talk with so wilt send a short message to you. The evenings seem Quite long now and there is time to do fancy work If one is not too tired, so I send directions for knitting table mats.

If cotton yarn Is used; or dollies may be made with silkotine or thread: Cast on SO stitches, using two needles, knit 8, turn and knit back to be ginning, then knit and turn knitting back, each time knitting, three more and going back to beginning till all are used, then seam back to this will form a gore; repeat till THE HIGH COST OF SHOPPINGS The rather stout woman responded to the doorbell and admitted the rather thin woman, who came in like a gust of wind, all ready for action. 'Oh. my!" she exclaimed. "You've got your work all done, and as I live! Well, put it away and come with me shopping. I hate to go alone and I want your opinion on a rug that I want to get for my living room.

Ernest gave me $40 to bay one with, and I must have it down this week, as I expect some of his folks for over and, of course, I want everything as nice as I want a fern for the table and a new centerpiece. I always keep the cloth on, but as long as they are here I'd like to have a change after meals, and substitute a doily. I shall have to get one all embroidered, as I haven't time to do tt. I need new curtains, too, so I shall have to skimp on the rug and make the amount do for the three extras Tve made up my mind to get. You have mich good taste that I want you to come, too; so come on.

We'll have a whole afternoon for it. I think I hear the car, so I'll run out and stop it while you lock up. "Yes," added the rather thin woman as they entered the store, "I do like that suit. I need one, too. I hate to look shabby, but, of course, I can't get it today.

We'll go direct to the rug department. Oh, look! They're leaving a sale on coffee I need one. I've always used a coffee pot, but with his people coming I ought to get a percolator. How much? Well, I'll take one. I can save on the rug, perhaps, for that Well, it's one needed thing, anyway.

"Oh, did you know that there was a sale of gloves today Why, isn't that a bargain? Regular $2 gloves for $1.79. I'll need some new ones when they come, so I guess I'll take two pa its. I certainly need those before house rid things, and perhaps I can save on the centerpiece. "Let's go upstairs now for that rug. Here's the elevator.

Fourth floor, please. Why, everybody is getting out on the second floor. Such a crowd. Let's see what. Is going on.

Oh, a focd frale! And just look at the lovely booths, all trimmed up. Aren't they pretty? They're demonstrating. Lot's go and sample them; it doesn't cost anything, "Such delicious cocoa! Ernest's mother drinks nothing else. I haven't any on hand, so I ought to get some. I'll take two boxes.

Oh, it's on sale only this week for 23 cents? Well, I guess I'll take three boxes, then. I like to save where I can, and, besides, she drinks so much. "Well, here are some biscuits, and honey, too! Did you ever? Don't they look perfect? My dear, did you ever taste such beautiful biscuits? Srnest just. dotes on them. Oh, you're advertising the Xo, I never have used that kind; maybe that's why mine aren't as light and flaky -as these.

How pleased he would be if I passed out some biscuits 'ike these to his people. He would be proud of my accomplishments as a cook. I do oelieve I'll try there are 12 gores when you bind off all the stitches; then sew this end to the beginning which will form a very-pretty mat. For a finish crochet scallops all around the edge, or knit narrow, edging. Aunt Jerusha: I am glad you have surprises, it breaks the monotony of daily toil.

Florodora: Have you lost your pen or are you too busy to wiite. L. J. K. Hope you are feeling better and will spin a yarn soon.

C. E. I suppose you are canning fruit and making all kinds of pickles. I will close, wishing you all good night. BARBAR.

AUNTY'S PICNIC OCTOBER 11TH. Dear Social Comer Sisters: I am still planning for the picnic Oct. 11th. I shall be pleased to see a goodly number here. There will be a way provided for ail to ride to and from the station.

Take the Central "Vermont train for Franklin, Conn. The northbound train leaves Norwich about 9.30. The southbound train leaves Willimantic about 9.50. Please bring plate, cup, fork and spoon. A basket lunch, as usual, served at 12.30.

Slow: I believe you can tell something about how the chowder disappears. Hoping for a pleasant day the 11th, and seeing you all here, I am still AUNTY NO.

WAYS OF SERVING QUINCES Dear Social Corner Sisters: As the season for quinces is at hand I am going to send methods for using them. The quince is a native of Northern Persia, but is naturalized through the northern hemisphere. There are only three varieties in cultivation the apple shaped, the pear shaped and the so-called Portugal quince, which has very large fruit. Some housewives have the idea that all the quince is good for is in the way of jelly or preserves; Quinces require a long time in cooking, and this should be remembered In preparing them for the table. Baked Quinces: Pare, halve and core enough quinces, to cover the bottom of a baking dish, fill cavities with sugar, also sprinkle with Pour In enough water to cover the bottom of the dish, cover closely, and cook In a moderate oven, basting often.

Serve with cream. Steamed Quince Pudding: Pare, core and quarter some nice ripe quinces, stew until tender and chop fine. To two cups fef quince add yolks of three eggs and one cup sugar beaten up together until light; then add the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one cup chapped dates or raisins, one cup of bread crumbs and the beaten whites of the eggs; Place in a buttered pudding mold and steam two or three hours. Serve with, an orange or lemon sauce. Quince Loaf: Wash, pare and quarter a half dozen quinces, or enough to make a pint of pulp, add water and a little stick cinnamon, stew until tender, and wash to a pulp.

While still hot add three-fourths cup sugar and a third box of gelatin dissolved In one-half cup cold water. Stir until all the gelatin has been dissolved, then pour into a bowl, and Bet in a cool place, or oft ice. When tt begins to stiffen, beat up until light, then fold in one cup of cream, and the whites of three eg beaten stiff. When smooth, pour in a mold and place In a cool place for several hours. When ready to serve turn out and garnish with halved quinces that have been stewed in rich syrup and whipped This makes a nice company dish.

Quince Custard Pie: Stew enough ripe quinces to make a. pint of pulp, add to this the crated rind and juice of half a lemon. Beat the whites of two and the yolks of foUr eggs, with three-fourths cup sugar until light, add quince pulp, one-half cup cream and one-half teaspoon vanilla. Turji Into a pan lined with good pastry that some of this flour. a bag? Well, that is cheaper than what I pay; Oh, It's on sale.

I might have known; flour is so high now. Wrell, please send me up a bag, and charge it. Oh, I have to pay you? All right! "Well, I guess we had better be going. We have spent so much time now. Let's stop at the art department, as it is on this floor, and -look for the centerpiece.

"Aren't those the loveliest boudoir caps? I'd like to get ono for Ernest's mother. That dainty pink one would go beautifully with her gray hair, and I'd have to get one for his sister, too. She likes yellow. Wouldn't it.be a surr prise for them? Yes, I'll take those two. $2 apiece? Oh, well, Ernest can afford to spend that on' his people, and he will be pleased that I thought of them.

"Now, there ie something that he has been wanting to get for a long time. A pair of leather sofa pillow covers. Aren't they beauties? Wouldn't they Just match hisNden? Brown leather, and such lovely designs! I'm afraid they may be sold if I wait till later, so I guess I better get them now. Please send them up to this address. How much? Yes, 1 have just the right amount $10.

"Now for the doily. Haven't you anything any larger that are embroidered? Only that one for $25? I haven't any idea of paying so much for one. I'll look somewhere else. "Let's walk up instead of taking the elevator; then we can see more. Look at those hats! Aren't they handsome? That one with the silver lace is exquisite.

How much? Only How I'd like that hat! I need one, too. Do you think it looks Well or. me? It's, a iittlo too much to pay, don't you think? Oh, it's marked down from $20? It certainly is a bargain, and as said I do need one. Ernest wants rne to look nice, and especially before his people. I'll take it before I think too much about the price.

Yes, please send it. "Let's go over to those tables and get some cream. I'm tired out, aren't you? I want to rost a minute and then we'll go direct to the rug department. Yes, I'll have strawberry ice and ycu pineapple? It's- my treat. Have you a pencil in your bag? I want to figure up just how much I've spent.

"Why! My goodness' I T- oh, have you any idea how much I've spent? Why, what have I bought Only that hat, and, goodness me! I've spent $40.11 I guess you'll have to pay for this cream, for I've only got seven cents left, and. I'll have to go without my rug and the fern and the centerpiece and the curtains. 3-ood-ness! everything costs si much. We've only been down street an hour, too. "Well, anyway, we have to eat, and tve have to have clothes, but I'm afraid Ernest will he rather provoked wiien I go home with only seven cents.

I guess we had better walk, too, don't you?" "I'll pay your faro," said the rather stout woman. "I'm tired, too." VADA WILCOX. has been partly baked, finish baking in a moderate oven until custard is set. Cover with a sweet meringue made of the remaining whites of two eggs. Quince Honey: Four pounds granulated sugar, one pint water; boil fast for 20 minutes; grate five large or six small quinces; put in syrup and boil five minutes.

Seal whHe iot-sri Good on "hot biscuit or cakes in winter. I hope to meet the Sisters at Aunty No. l's Oct. 11. An ideal spot for a good time.

With all good wishes to The Corner. ELIZA JANE. TAKE LITTLE JOURNEYS. Dear Social Corner Members: Too many think of travel as something in which, only a favored few can indulge themselves. Most persons assume thai, it means spending a great deal of time and money.

But travel that crosses oceans and covers continents is not the only kind; nor does the value of a journey depend on the number of miles that are traversed. The trip that is most worth while is not necessarily the longef. The spirit of the traveler is what really counts. All that is needed is to pass from your regular week-ln-and-week-out surroundings to surroundings that are fresh if only for a day or two To do so at lcace once fn every year, should be the aim of every man and woman who is tPuly' alive. We read occasionally of some man or woman who has lived witlVn a score of miles of the railway without ever having seen a locomotive or a train of cars.

Such a life, "if the person is in good health," is a cause for regret rather than for boasting. The farmer needs to break away from his routine at least once every year: if only for a day or two. He need not journey several hundred miles to some city, at considerable expense. In the very next county, although he will see no people wearing nose rings, or eating with chopsticks, or living forty odd stories above the ground, he may see a new cattle-stanchion, or a novel method of road -building, and he is certain to broaden his knowledge of the world. In the same way, if the city man never leaves pavements and "sky-scrappers," he is wilfully starving himself- depriving himself of what is best in life.

The true spirit of travel is to be eager to see another any other place that the spot in which you live; to look, not with envy, but with interest, upon the lives of strangers; to broaden yourself by learning new ways; adopt any new methods of life that may be truly beneficial to you; and finally, to return refreshed and full of contentment to the blessings that are yours at home.

H. K. North Windham. FOR PACKING A TRUNK. Dear Social Corner Sisters: To pack a trunk, rst collect everything that is to be it.

Fold everything as flat p. w.lble Evening dresses and fancy waists may be put Into thin pasteboard boxes, packed in tissue paper and tied with tapes so they won't slip around. These will go In the bottom of the trunk. Save all the oblong pieces of paper that come home from the laundry in the men's shirts and fold shirtwaists around these. Use stockings and things that will not wrinkle for filling in the spaces that will happen, even with the most careful packing.

Put cellars, belts and ribbons into small boxes. Take folding hangers for dresses and coats. Short lengths of rlbnoh with a safety pin at one end. and a brass ring at the other take up no room at all in a trunk and will be useful for hanging up skirts. Tf you have no hat trunk and are obliged to- pack your hats in the tray, fill the crowns with, tissue paper, place them In position and fasten them there With wide- bands of cotton tape held to ithe side of the trunk with thumb tacks.

Keep always in -mind that the more tightly th things are packed In, the fewer wrinkles you will find at journey's end, provided you have used care in packing. SISTER VIRGINIA. TWO NICE RECIPES.
