Weil this has been a splendid and a very perfect day; ; T took my work and worries and 1 threw them all away— I took the work I ought to do and looked it in the eye And saild: “You get a holiday, old task of mine, good-by, 1 bope you have a pleasant time wher- ever you may roam. Now, don’t get lost. but just the same you needn't hurry home.” My work stood begging at my side, my elbow Duty nudged. But with a stern and haughty heart I never even budged. I stretched myself upon my back with- in the hammock here And swung and swung and let my soul get bubbling full of cheer. My work went galley west, I guess—I | know it isn’t done— But, friend, to have a lazy day is cer- tainly some fun And all the things I worry for and of— | the pesky things! I gave them all to understand they might as well take wings. I'd worried over them in a most faith- ful, earnest way, But worry hasn't any place in any lazy day. Some little worries fretted up and sighed: “What can you do?” 1 blew them all to smithereens with one intense “Pooh! Pooh!” So here I am. with work dndone, un- worried worries, too, And still the grass is nice and green, the sky is nice and blue. The world is rolling right along, no doubt the stars will gleam— I guess I'll linger here a while and muse and doze and dream. My friend, when Work is fighting you and Worry wants to stay, Just throw the whole thing to one side and have a Lazy Day. —W. D. Nesbit, in Collier’s. ANSWERS AND INQUIRIES.

ME AND IT AT THE COUNTY FAIR. Editor Social Corner: The county falr sure is a stupendous bunch of en- Joyment ;always providing you have /the right party in tow. Little Us & 1Co. started out with the firm intention {of devoting one day to study of live- Btock in all its phases. A lone dollar bill reposed in my pocket. Says 1 to myself: “Surely, such a bird as I have been said to be won't have to travel in single harness all day long. I'm sure to land on some soft spot_before many moons are over. 1 don't pretend to set up as a rival of Uncle Horace. but my deductions were certainly correct—and then some! After much crowding, hustling, jab- bering and useless delays, the car from Franklin square landed midway be- tween Nowhers and Slowtown and we were all requested to “get off and Being of a very obliging disposition, T got off and walked. | was much dis- iressed on reaching the entrance to the fair grounds to learn that it cost 60 - cents to get in. I got in, all right, but 1 got sore gettin’ there. Of all the mixups I was ever mixed up 1n, the county fair is sure the cock- tail. ‘The whole family from Squee- Lk and Bunport was there, with bells wa. Susie and her Willie sauntered rustically across the velvet grasses, ciad artistically the majority of rainbow colors, and chewing like blazes on their home-made sandwiches. Living up to t old eaying, “When you're in Wisevllle, act like a chump,” I sat down 'neath a tree and began to turn grub into s h aches. After eating, I d about the Do You Fear Consumption?

I saw noth- ing, however, which would travel be- yond the soda or ice cream limit. So 1 continued to stroll. About noon I first saw It. It was standing near a booth, gazing pensive- at near: parasols. It appear- ance spoke for a pretty fair sized bank | Toll T walked ‘over tg the booth and offered up'my last spgre dime for a chance on an ‘‘umberdll,” but before | the dime had changed hands It had |shoved another of the same variety into the cryer's hand and, after re- | ceiving my deepest thanks, we watched the wheel buzz 'round. Who's got 32?7 rang out in | stengorian tones, and 1 surged to the | fore,* waving aloft the winning card. I smilingly accepted the congratuia- | tions of the cryer and, taking It's arm, | walked down the line. We stopped at another booth where for 10 cents you had a chance on a canary, a fancy vase or a dollar bill. My friend again comes to the rescue, {The wheel spins. Twice in the same | place! 1 walk jubilantly on, plus $1; plus, perhaps, a few more dollars be- | fore’ dewy eve shall have fell down. After a light luncheon consisting of oyster stew, bread rolls, coffee and pie —and, of course, ice cream—Me and It rolled over and sat down 'meath a tree, watching the crowd and reading numerous pamphlets which we had imukeu up. My friend also in a warm tone, which I discreetly | looked warm and spoke chose to ignore for the time being. Finally things got so “het up” that I suggested a walk and Moxie, of which 1 drank two glasses. It was now about 2 o'clock. My |iriend led the way to the grandstand and we esconced ourselves in seats midway between the ground and the | planet " Mars. ~ After watching the | wrestling match and a horse race I | became so warm from excitement that my friend bought two sandwiches and a glass of blood orangeade with which I attempted to mitigate the heat; but before the trapeze act was over I open- {a bottle of sarsaparilla. Things began to warm up. I bet 5¢ [to $5 that my horse would get there {first. Lo! and behold! I picked & | winner! Six dollars to the good, and only 4.30 o'clock. Along towards 5, while Tubbs’ band | was playing a soft selection, I sug- gested that we not wait for the motor- cycle race, but leave the stand to stretch our legs. My friend agreeing, we descended Tom the stand to again wander among he crowds. We landed this time at a |stand where genuine Brazillan dia- mond stickpins were being sold for a quarter, with a real diamond ring thrown’ in. Needless to say, I got a ring, and, later the accompanying pin. After three more sandwiches, a cup of coffee and much mush from my friend, we walked, arm in arm, to the car and landed, sober, at Franklin square, A box of candy and some more mush whiled away the time till the 7 o’clock car for New London rolled in. I got aboard, loaded down with souvenirs of fair day, and after we had said “au revoir but not goodby” four times, the car started, and I leaned back in my seat, conscious of the fact that I'd spent a most profitable and enjoyable day. . Q. E. D. HONEY CAKES—FARMER’S FRUIT CAKE, Dear Editor and Members of Social Corner: I am pleased to see my letters printed in The Social Corner of The Norwich Bulletin.

Soclal Corner Editor and Sisters: T for one thank The Bulletin for its tent, a pleasant meeting place for the writ- rs end friends, and I realize the trou- | le, expense and time it must have taken—how kind, I' might say loving; | and what hearty greetings. Hope I shall meet Theoda again. I like her | looks and ways. I was guite taken with that lady in lavendel who re- ceived a while. Try some rainy day or dull evening when nothing better claims your at- tention, what my hubby did, the other night, to amuse a few young folks. One asked him how old he was. He !said 180 meons. I furnished pencils |and paper, and soon we all were deep in mathematics—13 moons per vear. Grace was a Surprise party to me, a lwelcome one! How nice to me the | things looked in the Norwich grange. 1 am a farmer from choice, but am in- rested in many other things—cannot J.ET. NINE WAYS OF UTILIZING OLD CAKE. Members of the Social Corner: I pre- sume every family with no children always hungry for a piece of cake no matter how dry, has some difficulty in getting rid of the scraps. The fol- lowing cake desserts are all well liked by my people: Steamed Cake Pudding—The fresh- est, best looking pieces I cut in reg- ular shapes, steam until soft and serve with hard sauce. Cake with Custard—Hardened pieces I cut into cubes and pour over them a soft custard, then let stand until nicely softened. When I serve the dessert I add more custard. Baked Cake Pudding—When I have an oven I make a baked pudding by breaking cake into small pieces, ad ing raisins or currants, and milk and egg to moisten. A distinct orange flavor is given if a little grated orange peel is added. When baked I top it with a mnice meringue. Sponge Fingers with Whipped Cream—When whipped cream is ob- tuinable I cut dry sponge cake into narrow strips, arrange in glass frappe cups and put a mound of whipped cream in the center. Steamed Fruit Pudding—For a steamed pudding, I use different kinds of cake, spice preferred, break into pieces, add spices to taste, raisins, chopped dates or currants; moisten with milk and eggs and steam in bak- {ing powder cans. This is served sliced with hard or liquid sauce. Baked Apple Pudding—Arrange sliced apples in bottom of baking dish, place on them a layer of broken cake, moisten with milk and egg; garnish top with slices of apple put in edge- wise. Sprinkle top with plenty of cinnamon and sugar; brush over with butter and bake. Fried Cold Cake Pudding—Dip slices of cold cake pudding in batter of milk and egg and fry in butter until deli- cately browned. Junket with Sponge Cake—For a d_mnty junket I make the regular re- cipe and before allowing it to set pour it over finely crumbed sponge cake. Nice for invalids. Crumb.Cake—One cup molasses, 1-2 cup butter, small 1 3-4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda in 2 tablespoons milk, 1 1p of cake crumbs, 1 teaspoon spices, eggs, 1 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon van- illa and lemon. DOROTHY Q. ONE OF RURAL DELIVERY’S DIS- APPOINTMENTS. Dear Editor and Social Corner Members: When George Washington was keeping company” with Martha Curtis he didn’t have very easy sailing. History tells us the dist‘nguished lover had to “hang around” a long time be- fore he won the fair widow's hand. Taking lessons from the stick-to-it habit of the Father of His Country, we come again asking for a little space in the Social Corner, as we are “hanging around” and hope to be of some help to the Social Corner by adding a few words to the department. The birds are flocking together for their southern trip, the fall crickets and the katydids are here, the leaves on the woodbine are turning, the fairs will soon be over and fall and winter will be upon us. _Notwithstading there has been much visiting and repaying visi the sisters bhave made The Corner very interesting during the summer months, and as the long evenings will soon be here, 1t is expected they will make the depart- ment better than ever. While 13 is considered by some as a very unlucky number, 1 thinl we have much to be thankful for during the year 1913. There has been an unusual number of June weddings. and the roses never were more beautiful than they have been this yéar. Many “Old Home Day” gatherings have been held In all seotions of the country and happy reunlons ameong friends from far and near have made the year long to be remembered. We feel that we have had our share of comforts, as well ah some disappoint- ments, one of which is that I was not able to wear the vellow ribbon to the tent The Bulletin so kindly furnished for the Social Corner family-at the fair, I should Rave been more pleased to have met the Corner members than a boy with his first jackknife or a girl with her first beau. During the summer months I have been highly favored by recelving cards and letters from members of The Cor- ner, which I prize highly, and I should only be too glad to take them by the hand and say “Thank you!” and “Then You Remembered Me.” How time files, and the style changes with it. People seem different, they talk different and dress different. I was at a railroad station one day last week when I saw a fine looking young lady get off the train whom 1 felt very sorry for, as I thought she had torn her skirt badly, which at- tracted the attention of the young men who were standing nearby, when I heard a spruce looking lady remark “Phere Is one of those 'slit’ skirts, Isn’t it horrid” The young giris standing near said: “Why, that's the style” It seems to me that the dressmak- er's shears must haye slipped when she made the 'slit” in the skiet we saw; but perhaps We are net good Judies of the sivle ai fhe present time. They may pe an improvement en the hobble skirt in gettinz on and off the ears, but they do attraet lots ef atten- tion, The Eerner gtill furnishes many geed pecipes for the table, which puts a smile on the face of the man of the heuse that wen’t rub off.

The Birth of a Among the hills of southern Vermont Is & little village of N—, the best fruit | district for miles around. One of the best farms in this community belonged to Themas Murray and his wife Jane. Years before, when they came there to live, Thomas' father had told him if he wanted to make any changes to g0 ahead. Now at the lapse of ten ygars it looked like o different place. he old folks had passed along and at present only Tom and his wife were at home. Two sons had blessed them, but both were now working in a near- by city. September was drawing to a close and as he sun was sinking to rest on this a beautiful day Jane took one last lingering look at the Tows of canned frult and jellies as she placed her last addition of grape jelly she had made that day. A smile crossed her face as she thought of her first at- tempt at jelly making. It had proved she had covered it tightly while still hot. Profiting by this fallure, she was now one of the best housewlves to be found. Going now to feed her chickens, she gazed toward the distant hills clothed in gorgeous hues. “Oh, how I wish the boys liked farming,” she thought and | so wrapped in her reflections she did not notice the approach of a gentle- man until he spoke the second time. “I beg pardon, but may I ask if my wife may come in and rest a while? My auto has broken down.” “Certainl, replied Jane. In a few minutes she and her v itor were busily talking. On entering Mrs. Wolfe had exclaimed: ‘“Oh, I know you are preserving!

One of the principal things that Shows the difference between the past and the present is the art of growing old gracetully. Twenty-five years age a woman of forty-five went to church, sewing-goclety, etc., and mingled with the “old folks” and was dressed in Jain, dark colors and looked every day er age. Today the same woman at seventy attends quiet soclal affairs and in her pretty white or pale gray cos- tume with her white hair in puffs and waves looks almest as young, and just as pretty as hor granddaughter. Grandpapa is as interested in bame- bail as any of the boys, and the fashlon for father and daughter and mother, or even grandmother, and son to go out together seems to be on the gain; and this is a move in the right direction. The gain is not all on one side Boys are generally safer with their father than with other gay young fel- lows, and some stald business men would be better off in the company of & manly young son than with some of thelr business friends; and a boy who has mother or grandma for his “best girl” is not very bad. How many middle-aged men. realize the pride that their daughter, nieces or grand-daughter * feel when papa or uncle acts as escort; and how many girls try to look thelr best at those times? And does mother try to be the queen of the social at which her son has taken her? No young man wants to be ashamed of his partner be she mother or sweet- heart and now both dress nearly the same, and why not? Why should the woman in the prime of life drop all interest in the world and be just moth- er, and let her children enter another cirele just when they need her mest? But te be successful father and mother must work together and both do their auty, If father is net willing for mother to go out with the ehildren or entertain thair friends at home] and if he will not go out himself he must expect bis sons and dangliters fo go their ewn ways for they will make young friends, and they will not hring them heme un- loss they are welsoms, Dow’t iry to ferse your ehildren te make friends f your friends for we are net all gliks, 1 remember a woman my mether was very intimate with, wha 1 detested in my chi‘l:fi,aefl; an the children of your best friends may have the worst influence on Four children, i Children know each other bsifer than New Business “I wish l{ were possible to buy home-made preserves, but nearly all We can get are put up in factories.” This struck home to Jane, who had all summer long been wishing she could find some use for their surplus fruit. Only a stage coach run between their town and the nearest city and by the time the fruit arrived it was hard- ly saleble. Soon arrangemenis were made whereby Mrs. Wolfe was to take sam- ples to her friends, promising to let Mrs, Murray know in a few days what luck she had, she reluctantly took her leave. When Tom came in to supper he laughed to see his wife so excited, bu she soon had the laugh turned when a few days later she received a letter from her new friend ordering several glasses of jelly and several dozen cans of fruit at prices which seemed fab- ulous. “Next year,’ wrote 'Mrs. Wolfe, “T want some of every kind of fruit, and my friends will, too, so be prepared for a large order.” The next Ladies' Aid meeting was certainly an exciting one. for the ways and means of a big business was plan- ned. An old shed was turned over to the ladies and the men laughingly cut wood and prepared tables and bench- es. Old stoves were placed in position and after housecleaning business com- menced in good earnest. All shared ex- penses, likewise profits, and that fall saw the happiest lot of ladies to be imagined. Certainly a busy and profit- able summey had been spent and that winter orders poured in until the fol- lowing summer they had all they could handle. BLACK PANSY. much by joining their company if you will join as a child not as a critic. Most of us still have too much dig- nity, but not so much as we had twenty years ago. Few parents who were the loving friends of their chil- dren are left to charity even if the children did not fear and respect them as those of their neighbors did. We respect and fear where we don’t love many times. TTA BARBER. MANY CORNERITES AT THE FAIR. Dear Cornerites:—Just a line this lovely day. Well the County Fair is now a thing of the past, and what a lovely time we all had there. I wish some of the ters would tell us through The Corner how many yellow ribboners, they met there. Many thanks to our kind Editor for having the tent for us, while there, for I for one enjoyed the use of it, for at one time when we ate our lunch, there were a goodly number inside the tent. Theoda: I think our plans must fail, in regards to Lincoln Park, for that place was closed August 30th. We did not plan early enough, and I feel very sorry now to know that. Many thanks to our kind Editor for the trouble I put him to, and I would like to state right here, that when ever the Cornerites wish again to have any outings, or parties, please let us (all hands,) give ample time say a month, at least, ahead, 8o as to give the dif- ferent members, time to respond. Married and Happy: Please tell us all about October 11. If you fully decide upon what you spoke of at the Fair. Papa’s Boy: I was very much dis- appointed in not meeting you at the Fairground, as I heard you were there. Were you in yvour red auto? If so I failed to see your red car. I met your Mama. $ilver Bell: Your card received. lease accept thanks. You shall receive one in return in a few days. Ready: Your card also received and you shall hear from me soon. I thought perhaps I might have had the pleasure of meeting you at the Fair, but not this vear. 1 enjoyed the chats I had with the different Sisters very~ much having met eighteen in all Jim: 1 think it was too bad you did not wear your yellow ribbon so I could have seen vou as I was told you were on the grounds. Don’t fail to do so next time. Blddy and Aunty: 1 tried to see you both again as well as Theoda, but think you must have left the grounds before T_did. 'aye Verna I did not get a chance to see you again. Our day passed so ly. It is too bad we all are so_far apart. — Minister's Daughter: Were you at the Fair? If so, I did not see, you. I tried to see you if you were there with your white dress and yellow ribbon, but failed. T know one lady dressed in white and thought sure, as she came into the tent, it but it proved to be Cora of Norwich. I heard there were a.great many Cornerites on the ground Labor Day; but I did not at- tend that day. Enough for now, CRIMSON RAMBLER. HOUSEHOLD HELPS FROM FRANK Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— Those keenly interested in worth- while things will be glad to know that underwear when it wears out under the arms must be mended with small pleces of hamburg, or lacg, and the effect is of pretty, ]?L'L medallions which- really belong there, Fasten walst together by means of buttons and buttonholes inside Instead of a safety pin, or hooks and eyes and there ls no danger of spolling’ a new bodice with rust marks. . A little water color paint used of the correct shade on the extension part of the soles of new russet shoes in order to keep them looking llke new. Try keeping tbe children’s shoes to- gether in pairs by the use of clothes- pins. This will rélisve the mother and the owner of the shoes of constant sort- ing, and keeps the closet floor from getting disorderly. A confection that s well worth the trouble necessary in making—candled rose leaves: boil one pound of sugar and a pint of water for two minutes and toss into this a quantity of drier rosé petals and set away for 24 hours; drain the petals on a fine sieve and add a quarter of a pound of sugar to the sirup and boll two more min: pour this over the petals and let them drain and stand cne more day; the third day add more sugar and boil the petals and sugar until it granulates, then pour on waxed paper, and when cool separate the petals with a silver fork. Fresh rose petals sprinkled with pul- verized sugar make dainty and deli- cious sandwiches for the afternoon tea. Ruth and Polly Peppermint—I en- yoyed your storfes, favor us again. Great Grandma: May sunshine cross thy pathway and happiness .spring up like flowers around you. I had two grandmas—only one I knew; and she wa# older than vou; and I have never forgotten her kind words, and her smiles were treasured, She long sinco went to that undiscovered country from which no traveler, as yet, ever has returned.

Perhaps some of you remember that some time ago 1 Wrote an easy way of blacking a stove, which was to sim- ply rub a greased woolen rag over | the stove every day and occasionally putting a little blacking on with it.

It is to mix ‘Enameline with turpentine and_simply rub over, but it must never be put on except when the stove is cold as it will explode. Ida: No, I haven't two little ¢’s, but know them.
