GRADUATION PARTIES. _Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Now the graduation days are fast ap- proaching, some of you may be con- templating a graduation party fos daughter, and the knowledge of how others have done may be a help to you. . In a case where the class colors were yellow and white, the following plan was made for the table when refresn- ments were served: Place a basket of yellow_and white flowers on the refreshment table and vases of the same wherever they will be most effective. Serve yellow and ‘white ice cream with yellow and white cake and it is easy to buy bonbons of the two tones. The cake may be made like a-marble loaf, dividing the ingre- dients, stirring the yolks in one-half and the whites in the other; or it can be made in layers. Or you could serve both sunshine cake, or angel's food. or any other pure white cake. Favors are not necessary at an evening party, but if you wish you can buy tiny candy boxes, fill with small candies and tie with the club colors. Realizing how the Inexperienced are plagued to plan for these special fes- tivities I thought a suggestion might be of assistance to some of your So- cial Corner readers. A MOTHER. THINGS THAT TELL FOR HEALTH Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I am sending in a few recipes some of you may find to be useful: Health Broad — Pour over one cup “ rolled oats three cups boil- ing wated, good one-half cup molasses, one tablespoon lard, one des- sertspoon salt. Let cool and-add yeast cake dissolved in cold water, Add flour until it can be kneaded. Bake one hour and ten minutes. Rye Pancakes — One cup of sour. milk, three-eighths cup mo- lasses, one teaspoon soda, table- spoon’ butter, salt, cinnamon and nut- meg, two scant cups cach of rye and white flour, two eggs well beaten. This makes a stiff batter. Take up on the spoon batter as large as an English Wwalnut and fry in nice, fresh lard kept just for pancakes, to be eaten with your favorite cheese. To Propare Prunes and Senna—Af- ter thoroughly was® let the fruit soak In' clear, cold water, just cov- ered, several hours, or over night. In the ‘meantime prepare senna tea, us- Ing about two tablespoonfu senna leaves to one pound Let the leaves simmer in a pint of water over a slow fire until the tea seems sufficiently strons, then strain into the prunes, which are cooked as usual. - A better flavor is procured by cooking twe or three whole cloves with the fruit.

This plan y 1s effective with the kind that toe cut and strike the opposite leg with the heel. Torses that stand differently, with hocks wide apart and feet close ‘together. have sometimes to be shod in the opposite way. Always put the breeching as high as possi- ble on horses that strike themselves. They generally do it going downhill, and a low breeching brings. their quarters together. The best cure for interfering is to ®et them fat and strong, and the ful- ler they became in the quarters the less liable they will be.to hit them- selves. Shoe horses with weak ankles hind, and heeled calks. If you own a pacer that cross fires —that is, strikes the right forward foot with the opposite hind foot, and vice versa, try lowering the inside of the hind feet, which will tend _to straighten his stride after the foot leaves the ground. Pacers may _be balanced with much shorter toes for- ward than trotters. CRIMSON RAMBLER. THE SOCIAL CORNER PIN. Fditor Social Corner: I send you a few more lines in regard to the So- cial Corner Pin. I agree with J. A. R.: Of course, those who are not in favor of wearing a pin are not compelled to do so, al- though the rest may wish to do the opposite. Some one spoke of it, as looking too much like a “secret society.” The Christian Endeavor society is by no means a secret one and all are proud to wear a C. E. pin. Why are we any less ashamed of wearing a So- cial Corner pin be to be criticled as “one who didn't {know enough” and would be surprised | to see us wearing the pin. ‘Why should we think of such a thing as others talking against us, if we did not harbor the same feelings toward them. Surely we cannot ex. pect a good word If we do not give one first. Let us remember the words “Judge not, lest you be judged.” Doctor: I think you will hear from me if I write many more letters as long as this one. 1 can never remem- ber a whole sick day since I was very, Quite a record.

Allow at leest 1 quart of water to a pint of rice; throw in a teaspoon of salt; wash, pick clean and put in; let it boil 20 minutes, and if mot then dry turn off the water and let stand on coals a few moments with the 1id off. The kernels will be white, and is preferred so by many. Use in place of a pudding, with a sweet sauce, or with meats, as a vegetable. Cold Slaw Dressing—One cup vin- egar, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, tei- spoon butter, a little salt. Cook until it thickens, and while hot pour over some raw cabbage, cut very fine, into shreds. Allow to become cold before serving. Softens Woolen Blankets—To those who would make blankets soft and fluffy, or any kind of woolen clothing; Adq ammonia to warm suds and rinse in water of the same temperature as the suds. These are good things to file away with other useful scraps. RUTH. WAYS TO MAKE ICE CREAM Editor Social Corner:—The ice cream season is here and those who did not save the recipes printed out of season may find the following instructions useful: Spanish Cream—Soak one table- spoon of granulated gelatine In one- half cup of cold water and heat in a double bofler with one pint of milk, one-half cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat the whites of two eggs Stiff and slide into another bowl for ture uge. Now beat the two yolks In the first bowl before washing the beater (in order that you may. not lose any of the beaten white of eggs cling- to the beater and the side of the bowl) Now blend carefully the hot mixture in the double boiler with the yolks and boil until you have a thick -cus- tard. Pour into another bowl, let stand until it stops steaming, then add one-half teaspoon of vanilla and the whites of the egss. Set in a cool place and forget it until dinner time. When you serve it you will be delighted with the result. Harvard Cream—This makes four quarts: One quart of good milk In double boiler, 4 eggs beaten well, add to them 2 cups sugar and 4 teaspoon- fuls flour, mix together and stir into boiling milk. Cook 10 minutes, take from fire and strain, add 1% quarts| more of milk and 1 cup sugar. When cold add 1 cup of heavy cream, %% For flavoring 1 use vanilla. Other Creams—When you want chocolate cream add 4 teaspoons coca to eggs and sugar before stirring into hot milk. 1f you care for pineapple stir in ene can of chopped pineapple just before freezing. If you want coffse take 3 table- spoons coffee and 1% cups of water, Dbofl until you have 3% cup of coffes left. Strain, mix with rest of mix~ ture. Then you can use strawberries, raspberries and bananas. £ you care for a chocolate covering take 2 tablespoons cocod, % cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, stir into 2 cups Dboiling water; cook five minutes; when cold flavor with vanilla, use about 3 teaspoons for each dish, and you can use nuts if you like, HANNAH WHO., Willimantic.

Now what do you all think of The Bditor's letter in last week’s paper. It sesmed to me he does not favor a Ppin, at all, so I for one shall drop the subject, until some one else picks it uj p. When I suggested the Soclal Corner Sisters ought to have an Emblem, I supposed each one of the members would pay a certain amount towards it, same as the D. A. R. did when they got theirs; but the Bulletin would not allow that. I see quite a few of the Cornerities objected to having anything of the kind, so I think better let it die a natural death and say no more about :L What is the object of The Corner- tes? Crimson Rambler: You will hear| from me soon again. Will tell you what you wanted to know; but you must not give it away; please re- member that. It hurts me so to write I shall have to stop; and then my writing is so poor. I can hardly read it myself my hand is so shakey. Here is good luck to the Editor, aad | all the Sisters hoping this may find you all well and happy, is ll;e Xisfi of | [The Social Corner is not an organ ized body and has no relation wbat- ever to any organized society. ‘When J. A. K. proposed a pin on an | emblem had already been accepted, orange yellow bow—and those Wwho wished for some token of identification seemed satisfled with it. The Bulletin does not approve of any assessment of the Social Corner | writers for any purpose whatever. If the writers spontaneously unite in giving for some benevolent rurpose The Bulletin will always be found do- | ing its part. The distribution of pins to persons whose only interest in the Corner is to write and get a pin would not be just to constant writers and in effect | would be an imposition. The Editor is not opposed to any movement on the part of his oor- respondents which will please them or improve this department. If the ma- Jority were for the pin The Bulletin would gladly stand the cost. +The vote thus far stands 2 in favor | and 3 against. The discussion has excited very little interest. SOCIAL CORNER EDITOR. GREETINGS FROM AUNTY ABBY. Dear Editor and all Social Corner Friends:—Just a little chat this time. What a warm day this has been.

Eeginning at birth, a baby boy wears blue when a touch of color is desired. Girls are given pink. During babyhood a boy’s clothes do noc differ greatly from his sister's in regard to material and model, but less trimming, or rather, plainer decora- tion is evident. For instance, tucks and feather stitching will take place of lace and embroidery. As soon as a boy walks he is put Into a one piece dress on the romper order. The material may be gingham or chambray, linen or pique.
