Could you get a word in sideways? No- doubt there are a great many of the sisters who would enjoy a ride to your, place, if they only knew how to find you out. Did they leave in time for you to catch a wink before breakfast? Ready: Your letter in last Saturday’s Bulletin was fine. What a time you must have had after the snowfall. Glad you had a little, for I thought by the appearance of things up here that we had about all that fell. Quite a bit left here vet for anyone that hasn’t had any. You asked me some little time ago who captured the Social Corner souvenir 1 offered for. the first sister finding ‘me out. Well, it bas at last been taken by Maple Leaf, and per- haps you will like to know it was a very pretty hand painted china sugar bowl. CRIMSON RAMBLER. A FINE MOCK LEMON PIE.

A Social Corn “It seems to me,” remarked Eliza~ beth, as she added another pair _of stockings to the goodly pile that had been mended, “that it i s very quiet in the Corner just now.” “That is 80,” replied Jane Grey. Yet It would seem as if we had done ev- erything possible in the lines of both work and play.” A number of the sisters were hav- ing one of the social afternoons for which the Corner is famous. They had assembled early in the afternoon of a bright spring day at the home of | Jane Grey. Each one carried a pretty ’DI‘ fllled with fancy work or mend- ng. The meditative silence which follow- ed Jane Grey’s remark was broken by E. G. S, who affirmed: “There 1is just one thing which, if my memory Serves me aright, “we have not had “What can it be?” chorused the sis- ‘A Fair and Food Sale.” “Why not have one in the near fu- ture?” asked Hettie Marle. “And plan for it this afternoon,” add. | ed Hepatica. “To what shall we devote the pro- ceeds?” enquired Sunflower. “Then we are really to have one?” answered Peggy Ann. “Let us put it to the vote” ex- claimed Jane Grey) All in favor of holding a Bocial Corner Fair piease signify by rising. The sisters rose in a body. A After they had recovered the scis- sors thimbles, and other small ar cles which had beerr scattered in the process and resumed their work, Bee said: “Will some one please suggest a worthy cause to which the proceeds of the fair can be devoted.” “I should like,” volunteered Saman- tha, to widen the sphere of useful- ness of the Corner, to secure enough money to send the Saturday's Bulle- tin or the Tuesday's Courier, which ! you know contalns the Social Corner | page, to shut in and lonely people. 1| should also like to have copies sent | regularly to the women's wards In | some of our hospitals and to the wife of a missionary in some lonely parish.” “Let us hold the fair in Norwich,” proposed Polly Wintergreen. “And ask all the Cornerites to con- tribute,” continued Aunt Esther. During the remainder of the after- noon the coming fair was the all ab- sorbing topic of conversation, and be- fore the sisters dispersed they had it all planned. 2 To bring their plans to a Success- ful consummation required consider- able expenditure of time and energy. They rented a room in a convenient location In Norwich and decorated it tastfully with palms and yellow rib- bon. Some of the sisters were on hand each day to receive and arrange | the contributions. By some magic which she alone could explain Ready recovered and sent the old original Social Corner Wood-box. Theoda, with marvellous generosi- ty, sent book containing a copy of ev- ery Social Corner page that had been published. Ye Editor sent a number of coples of the first Social Corner page. Al- 80 the prize winning stories and let- ters in all the contests which have been held. From Married and Happy came a graphic account of the first Social Corner pic-nic which was held at the Willimantic Camp ground on the 12th of October, 1912. Biddy sent a very entertaining sec- ond Social Corner narrative of ‘the second Social Corner pic-nic, which was held at South Coventry in the summer of 1913. Other contributfons w Mehitable a book entitled “1001 Ways | to Use Surgeon’s Adhesive Plaster; Liza Ann—the plots of all the stories she had planned and never found time to write; Joseph Doe a number of potted plants; Balsam Fir a book containing directions for home nursing first aid to the injured and similar hints; Diana, a book of suggestions to invalids. The minister's Daughter, a booklet which provided a‘ helpful thought for each day in the yea: several nicely roasted chickens a number of large and lucious pie: Reubey and Wife, Glenwood, Faye Verna, Aline, Eliza Jane and Clara of Canterbury contributed, between them, a goodly supply of cakes, cookies and doughnuts. Aline and Interested Read- er sent jellies and jams. Grace contributed photographs of the Social Corner tent at the Norwich Fair in 1913. Fach photograph con- tained a different group of sisters. Each one of the five sisters who were the first to wear the bow of vellow ribbon sent a neatly writtens account of the occasion handsomely bound in tes e Aunt | When the appointed evening ar- rived the room was crowded with the Soclal Corner family and business was obrisk.

A number of small tables were quickly cleared and put together, form- ing one large table. Simon went out to buy & contribution for the feast and soon returned with a large bundle. As he placed it on a side table, he remarked: “This follows the dessert.” When all was in readiness the sis- tren and brethren sat down to a feast of great variety and lusciousness which was eaten In a spirit of complete unanimity and friendliness. When the time finally arrived when no one could eat another crumb, Simon arose and sald: “Friends, I am suré we are all thankful that what threatened to be a family row has ended in such a peace- ful and enjoyable fashion. Possibly some of the brethren feel that the oc- casion is not quits complete without a good smoke; but we do mot wish to annoy the ladies, and there is no suit- able place to which they can retire I propose that we (in imagination) smoke a pipe of peace.” So saying, he undid the bundle and handed to each one a small white pipe tied with a yellow ribbon. “Now,” he continued, “let us unani- mously take a smokeless whiff for a covenant of everlasting peace In the Corner.” At the conclusion of that Interest- ing ceremony ye Editor moved that they hold a business meeting and en- deavor to devise some way of adopt- ing, at least in part, the plans of both sides of the house. It was voted to form the non-perish- able articles into a Social Corner mu- seum and use the proceeds of the falr for its maintenance. It was also decided to charge a suftable admission fee and form the | resulting shekels into a Social Corner | Extension Fund. A Social Corner Museum commit- tee and a Soclal Corner Extension committee were appointed. Each com- mittee was requested to call a meet- ing at some time within six months of all the Cornerites to hear reports of what had been accomplished. THE BEARS AND BIRDS FRANKLIN PARK. —ear Editor and Socfal Corner Sis- ters: It is some time since I have writ- ten to the Social Corner. There have been many changes in my life since then. At that time I lived in dear old Norwich; now my home i in_Boston. I live within three minutes’ walk of Franslin Park zoo and have often gone up to see the bears take their morning piunge in the big water tank. It is a rare sight to see the big polar bears jump from the wall into the water In the afternoon at 4 o'clock the keepers feed them carrots and loaves of bread. | It is amusing to watch one Lrying to steal from the other. A iew weeks ago a large cinnamon bear became loose and got away. The | keepers gave chase and the bear took refuge In a tree. They took lighted torches and forced him into & cage and brought him back to the zoo. One day in the week they do not get anything to eat. They also have beautiful birds of every description. The park is in the heart of the beau- tifat Blue Hills; the Harvard college weather bureau it situated on the sum- mit of these hills. It is very nice to buy The Norwich Bulletin for three cents a copy on the streets of Boston, and you must be on time to get a copy. How are you, Balsam Fir? Do you remember the dear old songs on the hill with the accompaniment of the banjo? “Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still,” and many others. 1 hope my letter is not too long. I wiil close with best wishes to all from AUNT JULE. | OF TWO TESTED FISH RECIPES. Lear Sisters and Friends of the So- cial Corner: I hope you all survived | the terrible storm we had two weeks ago today. The scuttle blew off the house where I was and we had to tele- phone ' for the nelghbors for help to ! put it vack, for the rain was pouring | in. . I received a lefter last week from ! Pasadena. They wrote me it was the worst storm they have had in 3 Thereswas four da of rain, a perfect@deluge. Several lives | were lost. bridges carried away, trains | stopped and a great deal of damage done to property. I have a couple of tested recipes for cooking fish which I wish some of the Sisters would try: Escalloped Fish—This recipe is for | cooking remnants of boiled or fried fish left over. Remove bones and skin and pick the fish fine, squeezing it with the hand to be sure all the bones are out. { Heat twice as much milk as you have fish_and thicken it with flour stirred smooth in a little cold milk. Add one beaten egg and -season with butter, pepper and salt. When this gravy is removed from the stove, stir in the fish, cover the bottom of a deep dish with | cold sliced boiled potatoes and pour | the gravy over it, sprinkling with | rolled crackers. Bake just long enough to brown the crumbs. Baked Fish—Split the fish, remove | the backborne, lay it onen, make a niee | dressing, cover it all over, cut thin slices of salt fat pork and lay over| the dres: Baste often. Haddock is fine haked this way. What has become of Aunt Sarah? Hope she did not blow away in the last gale. { Ocean Heach is nearly all washed | away, walls all gone, bathing houses | floated off With hest wishes to ail from TAK. RURAL ANNIVERSARY PAGE.

Four vears ago the Social Cormer boat started out with only a handful of passengers, with the iuditor as pilot, and today the boat is loaded down to the water's edge and a larger boat will soon have to be put into use. There has never been an ac- cident and all has been harmony and peace with the captain's precious load of jolly good people. He has always made a safe landing with his large! family and the anxiety and responsi- bility which has been upon him the writers will never know. May our pa- tient Editor live for many years to guide the Social Corner ship tarough the rough waters into safe port as he has done in the past four years. As I am an old-timer In the depart- ment, I can plainly see the Editor's place In the Social ‘Corner can never be_filled. - We will lay down the pen for th time, as I expect there will be many writers respond to Old Glory waving SPECIAL TO WOMEN The most economical, cleansing and germicidal of cll antiseptics is Paxtine A soluble Antiseptic Powdes to be dissolved in water as needed.
