We did not "feel for a_moment that we had been slighted. We wrote we could not wear the yellow ribbon to the Social Corner tent because we could not find time to attend the fair, also visit the tent and get acquainted with the writers of The Corner. o! We have never been slighted by the Editor or the members of the Social Corner—on the other hand we have had many compliments from them all, which we shall never forget while time lasts.

The picture in the corner of our} page reminds me of the pleasant time in the tent. Every one busy, chatting merrily, and busy writing names on | each other's papers, etc. I met just fourteen. The greatest surprise to me was Jim. Have I not met you somewhere before in the long ago? 1 was especially glad to greet Bid- dy, Polly Wintergreen and Faye \'erna; f in them I found dear old friends. The surprise on J. E. T. was worth the admission fee to the grounds. As for Theoda, I had heard so much | of her goodness, she hardly seemed like a stranger to me; and Aunty No. | 1. dear soupl, made the day complete. She is truly a friend in need and deed dow many saw the Social Corner Baby? If 1 had been the judge she would have won the prize.

Moisten to proper consistency with either hot water or hot milk. Baked Hash: beef, add onec and chop fine. half cup of cracker crumbs, one tea- Two cup cups cold roast of boiled potatoes, spoon of Armour’s Extract of Beef, dissolved in one half cup of water, onion to taste, a little salt and pep- per, and one tablespoon of catsup, and pour into a well greased pan and bake until brown. PEE-PO! TIMELY TESTED RECIPES. Dear ter: Social Corner Editor and S 1 send herewith nice recipes: Mocha Sponge Cake: One flour, one level teaspoon of baking powder, two-thirds of a cup of sugar, three ezgs beaten separately, three tablespoons strong coffee. Beat a long time and bake in a tube-pan twenty minutes, using two radiators. When cool cover with mocha frosting. Mocha Frosting: Beat one table- spoon of butter to a cream. Add two tablespoons of sugar and beat till ab- solutely creamy and without granulat- ed particles; add one egg. yolk and continue to beat. Work in gradually three tablespoons of sweet, thick cream and two taspoons of strong coffee. Maple Cream Fudge: To one cup maple syvrup allow one and one half cups light brown sugar and half a cup of sour cream. Boil gently. When | done according to the usual test beat with a fork until cold. Nuts may be added if desired. Smoking Fish—Scale and split fish, but do not remove heads. Remove gills and intestines. Make a brine of 20 parts salt to 100 parts water and add to it one-tenth ounce of acetate of soda to each quart. Soak the clean- ed herrings in this brine for 30 min- utes. Remove and flatten and hang in a current of dry air, drving them as quickly as possible. When dried well, hang in a smokehouse until they are a bright golden color—from 12 to 14 hours. Store in a dry dark room or , { Pack in boxes in dry wood ashes. Canning Lima Beans—Fill jars wiih shelled Lima, beans, then fill with cold water. Put on rubbers and tops, but do not screw down. Place in boiler, on a rack; pour in enough cold water to come half way up bottles. Cover boiler, place over fire, and steadily for three hours. Take out { jars, see that they are filled to over- | flowing with boiling water, see that the tops are screwed tight, and put away| to cool out of a draft. Or, instead of completing the loiling in one process, cook one hour after the water comes to a boil, set aside until the next day, and | repeat the hour’s boiling, doing this again the third day. This progressive sterilization is very satisfactory in canning vegetables and many fruits. MOUNTAIN LAU Fast Norwich, N, ¥ AR GINGERED PEARS.

Good-by From ‘ AUNT HES TER | FAYE VERNA AT THE/ FAIR. Editor and Friends in the Social Cor- ner: This beautiful autumn morning finds me almost alone. Guests have come and gone and the children are off to school. The frost last night was kind, and left my plants and zarden vegetables unhurt, so I am feeling grateful. Now I am going to take advantage of the mood and conditions and write a let- ter to the Social Corne: First, I wish to add an expression of gratitude for the kindness of The Bulletin company in placing a tent in the Fair Grounds as a meeting place for the members of the Circle. Aunty No. 1: Your reception to Sis- ter Enid was timely. I was glad to be one of the merry group. Was pleas- ed to meet you at the fair. Great-Grandma is indeed a welcome addition to the members of our happy Circle; and, Grandma, we are glad to havs you in our midst once more, Was disappointed not to ses you at the fair I looked far the sprig of Ivy, but didn’t find it. ! have a quantity of it grow- ing with my other flowers, but the frost will soon clalm them for its vie- tims, and I feel really sad. Sometimes I even dare to wish that I did not love them so; but they arc a part of my life. since my home Is so many miles from nowhere. Pelly Peppermint: We enjoyed read- and once great sorrow by the untimely leaving. Budded on earth to blossom in heaven. » Pegzy Ann. : Was so sorty that more of the s s could not attend the lawn party. It is no easy task to prepare for guests where there is a family of little on and it must have been a great disappointment to you. I was in hopes to meet you and wee Peggy at the fair.

Hope hubby is well again, that | you have found your pei cat, and that | we will hear from you cften now. | Crimson Rambler: Acceut congratu- lations on account of capturing the rst prize last month.
