THE PICNIC ‘WALL BE HELD JUNE 16TH. Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends: In regard to the picnic on June 16th at Coventry lake. I think it safe £o say we shall have it on that day, ymless it should rain hard. If the weather is very bad, we will post- pone‘itto the 17th; but come one, come all, ig”it should rain a little ,for we shalk"be under cover. Polly Peppermint writes me she can- nok come out. I am sorry. I know Hhis date doesn’t suit everyone, but I /can’t help it. The Old Home week coming prevents us having It that week, and the next week is the week of, the Fourth. So in order to have it in June, the 16t: will have to be the day. ‘Will someonc come prepared to write] up the event for The Corner? I asked Polly Peppermint, but she can't come. Who will volunteer to do the work? Polly Peppermint: You ask if they will all be gone at 5 o'clock. There may be some who will stay, and if you can come, do so. So Sorry it hap- DPened this way. Roxanna Wince: Had to do it. majority rule. Be sure and won't you? Blize Jane: No excuse for you this time. Come along, and early, too. Crimson Rambler: I shall look for you so we can laugh. Be sure and come, planning for a good time. Aunties Hester and Abby: Hope the date suits you nicely. Won't we have a nice time? To all I would say: Get off at the lake. I need not tell you the rest. On your way through the quiet vil- lage of Coventry watch out for a yel- low flag at Biddy's, at the right going up. Last year I said I should raise a flag but I forgot it. I will try to bear it in mind this year. Either a flag or vellow bow, perhaps the vellow bow won't be quite so conspicuous, and so I will tie @ yeilow bow on the fire bush in front of veranda. Watch out now. Three cheers for June 16th. Again I will say: Each one bring their own lunch. A paper plate, a cup, 2 knife, a fork, a spoon, and their own napkin. This ‘will make it easier for the hostess. Come prepared for a good me. The come, BIDDY. A DAY WITHOUT MEAT. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Meat is over-estimated as a part of the daily diet. The following bill of fare illustrates vwell-balanced rations without meat for a_day: BREAKFAST Cantaloupe Cereal Cream Norwegian Eggs Coffee LUNCHEON Corn Mock Oysters Peppers Stuffed with Rice Tea Blscuits Hot ~ Chocolate Vegetable Soup DINNER Bean Croquettes ~ Creamed Potatoes Balred Tomatoes String Bean Salad Apple Tart Norwegian Eggs: Cut bread in neat slices and toast; butter the slices and cover with a thin layer of ancovy or bloater paste; turn a poached egg on each piece of toast and serve. Corn Mock Oysters: Cut down through the center of the grains each row of green corn on - the ear, and with the back of a knife press out the pulp, leaving the hulls on the ear. To each_ pint of the pulp add two beaten eggs; one tablespoon of butter, one of salt, a dash of pepper, and enough flour to bind it. Roll it into small cakes and saute them in butter, or they may drop from a spoon into hot fat, making fritters. These mock ovsters may be made of:canned corn, in which case use a little milk and sugar. Bean Croquettes: Wash the beans and soak them over might. Boil them slowly until tender, changing the wa- ter several times. Boiling them with a small plece of salt pork, a bay leaf, and an onion, improves the flavor. ‘When the beans are tender take them off and mash through a colander Season with butter, salt and pepper and add enough cream or stock to make them the right consistency. Add a well beaten egz to the puree, form it into small croquetts, roll them in egz and crumbs, and fry in deep, hot fat, with a hot tomato sauce, Tea Biscuits: Add four level tea- spoons of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt to one quart of flour; sift and rub in one. tablespoon of shortening; add one and one half cups of milk; knead quickly, roll out, cut into rounds, and bake in a hot oven for twenty minutes. MIRANDA. —_— GREETINGS FROM HOPEFUL. Dear “Editor -and Social Corner Sis- ters: It has been a long while since I have been privileged to chat with you. Have been very busy and time has just passed by without my hard- 1y realizing it. I have not lost inter- est' in The Corner in the least, and wish 1 was able to attend some of your Social Corner gatherings. How I would especially like to attend the picnic at Coventry; but, as usual, 1 shall have to read about it instead. Biddy: A short time ago 1 was wondering_what the Social Corner sunshine boxes were like, when the story about Diana’s. Sunshine box, ap- peared which explained it fully; and 1 wondered who had written it; but have since found out. . Doctor: 1 see by the Connecticut papers which I read that you must be very busy. Your: practice must be needed before the day is over. At a be on hdnd at the picnic with your remedies as -you wil no doubt be needed befort the Gay is over. At a gathering like that it always well to have a Doctor present if possible. If you need any help in your practice Just let me know. If I was only near- er would just lfke to drop in this aft- ernoon and see you all. Polly Wintergreen: 1 was very sor- Iy to hear of your misfortune, and very glad to hear you are now bet- ter, and able to be around again. Eliza Jane: I suppose you wonder what has become of me; and think I have forgotten the time when a friend in need proved to be a friend indeed; but I certainly have not. I have been very busy and will expiatn later why you have not heard from me. Grace: How I would like to_see you. Yes, Iwould be glad of the blue Tose cutting whenever convenient to send it. Auntie No. 1: T often think how I became interested in The Social Cor- ner, and how anxiously we used to wait for the paper ‘on Saturday morning. Evervthing else had to come to a stand still for awhile. 1 suppose you are very busy and planning to do a great deal of canning this sea- son. Am so glad that it oc- Theoda: curred to you to get up the sunshine box and thus gladden the heart of an- other shut-in, which 1 know was greatly appreciated. HOPEFUL. READY'S PLEASANT SURPRISE. Dear Editor and Soctal Corner Sis- ters: Once more I greet you. I had such a pleasant surprise June 4th that I want you to know about it. It seems too good to keep canned up just for myself alone. I was in the little city of Willi- mantic and I was just about to step into an auto when T felt a lizht touch on my shoulder and I heard such a sweet voice say: ‘How do you do?” I turned instantly and to my surprise I looked right into the sweet and smiling face of our dear Married and Happy. To me it was just like a flash of.light on a dark night, and the one good thing about it is, Married and Happy always sees me first and never passes me by. The memory of that meeting will linger for a long time. I had the pleasure of introducing her to Sweet Williary’s family and also to “the Man of the House,” as he felt well enough to take a ride that day. After such pleasant meetings as these T agree with J. E. T.. The So- cial Corner has come to stay. I think we 1o need worry. Theoda: 1 intended to call when we came back, but we took another route. Polly Wintergreen: Your card re- ceived. T was glad to hear from you. Am glad you are getting along nice- Iy. Calla Lily: T had a glimpse of Dr. R. I think he lgoks feeble. Aunty No. i: How are you? T trust. Frank: I trust you are well. very warm weather up this w: Billle: Ws so glad to read again a letter from you. Have been wondering what had become of you. T think we have two Sunshines now in The Corner. Which is Sunshine No. 1?7 Best wishes. Well, Not ' SISTER READY. THE MOTHERS OF RESIDENTS.

(While a complete list would have been most desirable the Editor has not the time necessary to look up the names lagking.) GROWING PLANTS FOR THE BOR- DER. Dear Social Cornerites: The lovers of flowers among us may find the fol- lowing directions for growing hardy plants good for reference: General Directions for Sewing Seed —When only a few plants of a kind are wanted, all may be sown in one box or plot (in rows). Place in bot- tom of box some pieces of crock stone (have holes in bottom first) or coarse coal ashes, for free drainage, and over this some sifted soil—2-3 good gar- den loam, 1-3 well rotted stable man- ure and a mixture of sand to make porous, would be a Sood compost, but soil taken from vegetable garden or some_ such place, reasonably rich and sandy, will do nicely; condition of soil should be such that when wa- ter is applied surplus molsture will readily run off without leaving puddles on surface. Fill box to within about two inches of the top, press surface even and well with a plece of smooth board, wet thoroughly and let stand two or three hours. Then sow the seed in rows. For small seed, prepare (what I call pressed rows) by pressing the edge of a piece of board 1 1-2 inch width of edge for about 1-4 to 1-2 inches into sofl, lengthwise of box, and dust on bottom a little sand. Press this light material into rows a bit, sow seed on top and barely cover with finely sifted soil. Dampen, over each row, lay a plece of cloth kept well moistened, and re- move entirely as soon as germination Is seen to have taken place. All seed (both large and small) does well treat- ed in this way. B Cultivation—Stir soil between rows when germination is completed (some- times it is an excellent plan to sprin- kle a little dry sofl, sifted, among the seedlings at this stage). Gradually ex- pose the small plants to full sun by placing box in sun and tacking on a piece of cheese cloth to back of box (edge) and on other longest edge (side of cloth) a plece of board, so as to draw quite tight over box and water when necessary through the cloth, un- til the seedlings get a little hardened, which will be in about a week or ten days, when cloth is to be removed. About twice a week a short time atter watering, stir between rows. Then, when two or three leaves have formed, transplant, giving good cultivation, and it is well, after a little established in new -soil 'to give occasionally a weak liquid fertilizer or stir a.little dry among plants. Seeds may be planted during June and July for early spring blooming. JOSEPH DOE. FIGHTING GARDEN PESTS. Editor. Social Corner: Those who grow plants know that it is necessary to know how to destroy thelr enemies, What to do to protect plants is dis- closed in the following directions: To get rid of ants, first find the nest, which will be somewhere not far from the house. Having found it set to work as follows: Place an Inverted garden pot over over the nest. and the ants will work into it.. Plunge the Dot with its contents into boiling water YOU ARE to the Social Corner Picnic COVENTRY LAKE, On Wednesday, INVITE June 16th, 1915 (If rainy, on the 17th) All Comers Should Bring Basket Lunch, Paper Plates, Napkins, Knives and Forks, Drinking Cups, Etc. Take Trolley Line for Willimantic and the Williman- tic Trolley with Terminal at the Lake. and repeat the process if necessary. Another way to keep them from get- ting into a house is to sprinkle sulphur just outside to prevent them entering. They dislike sulphur so much that they will not come near it. Slugs are soft-bodied creatures, fre- quently covered with a shell. They attack many species of greenhouse plants, lettuce, violets, etc. They live in moist places. They are trapped with cabbage leaves, sweetened bran, pois- oned powdered lime sprinkled over the soil about the plants. Red spiders are so minute that it requires very careful examination to see them on the under sides of plants. The affected leaves curl downward and | lose thelr color. Affecting both indoor and outdoor plants, they are especlally harmful to the sweet pea. FBlowers of sulphur mixed with water in the pro- portion of one ounce to a gallon of water and sprayed on the under side of the affected plants will exterminate them. For this purpose the best ap- pliance is a force spray pump with a fine nozzle. If on violets, use as a spray weak whale oil soap solution. Aphides, commonly called plant-lice or green-fly, are small, pear-shaped, soft-bodied insects—winged and wing- less. Tobacco smoke will Kill them on indoor plants. Outdoor plants should be sprayed with whale oil soap solution or kerosene emulsion. Caterpillars, sometimes called leaf- rollers, affect’ plants and trees, being very destructive to roses and apples. They wrap themselves in the leaves by ~making cocoons. Pick off co- coons and spray with paris green. Rosebugs burrow into the heart of | the rose blooms, spoiling them, There is no remedy for them which will not also_disfigure the rose. Pick them by hand, as they are easily caught. A GARDENER. A FEW GOOD THINGS TO EAT. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I am pleased to send The Corner some appetizing recipes not common: Beet Salad—Bolil beets tender and run them through a meat chopper. Take the same amount of chopped ¥ab- bage, put two tablespoons of ground horse radish to a quart of salad. One- fourth cup of sugar to a quart of salt and use enough good vinegar to make it moist. It can be canned, although it will Keep in an open jar. Apple Pancakes—Make a_batter the same as for the usual griddlecaKes; then add some apple chopped fine and serve them with butter and sugar. Raisin Sandwiches—With one cupful of seeded raisins, chop an equal quan- tity or nut meats. Mix to a paste with fresh, sweet butter and spread be- tween toasted crackers or thin slices of brown bread. A dash of lemon juice adds a piquant flavor. Baked Apple with Rolled Oats—Bake four apples which have been pared, while getting dinner. In the morning serve in large cereal dishes, cover with hot oatmeal. Serve with sugar and milk or cream. This makes a tasty dish and is a change, Sandwich_ Filling—Chop green sweet peppers and cucumbers quite fine and moisten with salad dressing. A boiled dressing is best. Prune Bread—Wash 1 heaping cupful of prunes and let soak over night in water to cover. In the morning stone and chop fine. Mix the prunes, 1 qt. of whole wheat flour, 1 pint graham flour, 1 teaspoonful of salt and 1 ta- blespoonful of sugar together. Add dis- solved yeast cake and enough luke- warm milk to make a soft dough, Al- low to rise and when light stir briskly and pour into buttered pans. Allow to rise again and bake in a moderate oven. HANNAH WHO. GOOD CHEER FROM SWEET LAVENDER. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters:—Once again I am up and about the house, and the last week have been been able to take an automobile and. car ride. Isn't it splendid to be living at this time of year. Every- thing is so beautiful. 1 was so sorry not to be able to send Sister M. Roena a card, but was so ill, threatened with rheimatic fever. After fever was checked 1 was up and down with rheumatism. In fact, have it now to a certain extent. ‘Wish I was where I could attend the picnic Wwith you all this summer; but remember I will be with you in thought. Wish you could ail have one on my lawn, as it is just the place. I am thinking of giving a small lawn party to a few of the Sister Re- becca’s—but then I must not plan ehead. 1 wonder how many ever think of planting the seeds from grape fruit or cantaloupes in the fern dish? 1 tried it, and it is a thing of beauty, although the grape fruit is far the prettier. Auntie No. 1: How is the little plant? Shall try lonesome pine's fill- ings for cakes soon. SWEET LAVENDER. MEG'S EMERGENCY SHELF. Dear Cornerites: The first time my husband walked in with three extra people for dinner he nearly brought me to the Verge of nervous prostra- tion. My dinner, elready cooked, consist- ed of four jamb chops, six potatoes and two cups of custard. It meant a scramble and a polite refusal of every dish on the table by my husband and myself. ‘After that day I added what I call an emergency shelf to my pantry. On this shelf will be found, one botile of salad dressing, one can of chicken, one can salmon, one can deviled ham, also one of tongue, three cans soup, one glass jar bacon, then come the vege- tables—two of each kind, like the an- imals in the ark; greted corn, peas, lima beans, and tomatoes. Several kinds of crackers to serve with fancy cheese, either with salad or for des- sert, and the cheese, as well, three pots, two small ones and one of larger size. And I have two cans of con- densed milk, a jar of beet extract, and some nuts; 'also, a bottle of pickles and one of olives; and eome quickly made gelatine for jelly. All that last needs is to add hot water and pour it into a mold, and before you know it, it is ready for use, and very -pretty and good. & You can imagine how, if we were ectually without another thing in the i house except what is here, with per- haps coffee, butter, sugar and pota- toes, we could have a good dinner. First. soup: then Lot tongue with brown sauce with potatoes and corn, made_into a_ custard; then ealad of lima beans with crackers and cheese; Jelly for dessert; end we could fol- low this up with'a breakfast of bacon and a luncheon of creamed chicken. These things were mot purchased all iat one time, but little by little as I had a few cents over my actual needs. I make it a rule not to use up what I have here, without replacing it at the earliest possible moment, that pre- vents my getting out of everything be- for I realize it. Then, when I am feeling very poor, and am in need of a vegetable, I just | use one of the canned ones from the | shelf and so tide over till the money | is plenty again. | "I am amply repaid by having friends say they always are certain I am pre- pared for company. Best wishes. LITTLE THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: when you are in town? Should like to see you very much. My health is much improved—much better then I ever expected it would be. I go out pleasant days, but get tired very quick. Enid: T enjoy your letters ever so much, and_think you must enjoy your stay in Havana. I should love to see the sights you are seeing. Calla Lily: ‘1 answered your let- ter, and thought It very strange I did not hear from you again. Wishing might meet you all at the Lake, I will say good-bye. DON PEDRO. A HAPPENSTANCE THAT BOTH- ERED JEHIAL. Mister Editor: I see in The Bulletin @ spell ago somethin’ Nat sed 'bout his hogs and ’*bout things in common over ter his place, and I thinks ter myself: “T'll jest tell him and all the rest of them’ people that write what's bin a-goin’ on over here while I bin laid up with a game leg, and see what they will say then.” Yer see, it was ’long in the latter part of March I had that black colt of mine out ter give him some water. Lucretia, that's my gal, and a right spry one ehe is tew, says that colt is like one the Parson of Wakelot had, whoever he is. - As near as I can figger she is kinder hittin' on his age. But cracky; he ain’t so powerful old. He was two or three years old, I don't jest remember which, when I got him, three vears before Lucretia went ter Righ school, and she got her deploma a year ago this comin’ June. But I snummy, I'm way off track. As I was w-sayin’, that colt see somethin’ by the hoss tub and he jumped and yanked me right inter rarge of his hind legs. Then he lit out and kicked me right on my knee and I yelled somethin’ fierce. Lucretia sed: “I guess the _colt thought so tew, 'cause he started for the barn and most climbed inter the manger, he was so_wrought up.” My other half, Miranda Ann, come out and she and Lucretia hauled me inter the house, and then she set up she'd got ter see where the hoss kicked me. I suppose you've heard ‘bout how gentle a woman Is when a body’s sick, but gosh! Miranda Ann got the tea- Kittle of water and jest set there and sloshed that bilin’ hot stuff over my leg for most an hour. Then she tied it up her and Lucretia, I was most tuckered out. Lucretia sed she'd tend ter the crit- ters out in the barn, and she tele- phoned o Hen Johnson's boy to coma| |and milk. I told her that the fust five critters from the door had a quart of grain outen tae fust chist, and how the tew team hosses had four quarts from the last one, and the colt had only three quarts. She sed that it was all quite plain, and a whole lot of high soundin’ words to that effect. After she'd gome out I snoozed a little when my leg didn’t ache so tarnal bad I couldn’t. and I aidn’t see her any more until she came in tew say “Good night!" before goin' ter bed. “Then I sez, sez 1: “Was there any settin’ hens?” “Yes, da the big loft.” “Wal” I sez, “you take them eggs in that there basket in the cubbord and put under the pesky thing.” ‘Things went on for pretty nigh onto tew weeks and one day the cream geth- erer come inter the bed room where I was and sed: “Cream’s kinder fallin' oft, aint’ it, Jehiel? Wal, 5 wan't a-goin' ter 1et him know I didn’t have any idee about it, ‘cause he's a little upstart from the totner end of the town that went to Storrs and thinks he knows all there is about farming, so | sez: “Yes, 'tis a-failin’ a little, but then it's a bad time of year. After he'd went I looks at the check. Jehosephat! 'Twant but ten dollars and thirty-nine cents. The card sed for the last tew weeks we'd a bin a- gittin® only five pounds of cream where I'd bin a-gittin’ fifteen or twenty. I was a-gittin’ around a little then, so I decides ter go out when Lucretia went and see how things was a comin’ sez she, “a white one by on. Right now, afore I fergit it, I want ter tell yver that 'twant none of my doin’s callin’ her that high soundin’ name. 1 was fur callin’ her somethin’ common and sensible like—Jane, or mebbe, Mary; but law, Miranda Ann is powerful sot in her ways when she's a mind ter be, and so we called her Lucretia Wal, as I was a-savin’, I went out to the barn ter kinder look around. I vum! that zal had them cows all mixed up in them stansions. The fust five cows I told her I give grain to, as ehe had ’em, was a pair of two year old steers and a yearlin’, and she’d a bin in a rag and put me to bed. Between I have a few timely suggestions which I think may prove useful on hot day First bear these little things mind g ; Perspiration—excessive—is to many. Extreme cleanliness and dusting with powdered boracic acid mixed with fine starch is the best pre- ventive. When cooking vegetables never al- low the water to stop boillng all the in trial | time they are in the saucepan. To | do so will make them sodden. | “After washing lamp chimneys, try polishing them with dry salt. This gives the glass a brilliant shine and | prevents it from cracking. A good treatment for unduly moist hands is to bathe them frequently in warm water to which a little alum or vinegar has been added. | When you desire to keep meat and have no ice on which to keep it, wrap it in a cloth wet with vinegar. Wash the vinegar off before cooking the meat. Hot water used both internally and externally is highly recommended by | medical men as a cure for insomnia. ‘Bathinl.’ the feet in hot water is said | to_be particularly efficaciou: | I think the Sisters may find some these hints helpful. |of JANE. A NICE SUMMER DRINK. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- { ters:—How would you like to have a nice, cool drink for summer, that you can make at home? Well here it Is, and it is good, too! It is called Mead—Three pounds white sugar, one pound molasses; pour on this three pints of boiling water; then add one-fourth pound tartaric acid, and and one and one-half ounces of sassa- fras. Take one tablespoon of mead, add one-half cup cold water, and one- fourth teaspoon soda; and it is ready to drink. Saturday Eve: I look every week for something from your pen; but have failed to see anything for sev- eral weeks. Hope you are not doing little nowadays for The Corner, but it looks that way Rural Delivery: Have you changed your name, or do you get so tired de- livering mail you can't write? KEZIAH DOOLITTLE. CHEESE DISHES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— The cheese eaters may like the follow- ing recipes:— Cheese Croquettes—Mix one cup grated cheese with one cup sifted bread crumbs; add one teaspoon onion juice, half teaspoon dry mustard, a little salt and one teaspoon parsiey. Mix thoroughly with two eggs: then mold into tiny balls; dip in egg slight- Iy beaten; then in cracker crumb and fry adelicate brown in deep fat. Cheese Sandwiches—Take equal parts of cheese and celery; mix with a little mayennaise, or with a few spoonsful of oil, and vinegar mixed; spread on thin slices of bread. Ancther dainty filling is a half cup of grated cheese, two_tablespoons of whipped cream, and six olives, chop- ped fine. This is nice with rye bread. Cheese Ramequins—Put one table- spoon butter and a half cup cup water into a saucepan; when it boils add half cup flour, half teaspoon each of salt and paprika, and three table- spoons Edam cheese grated. Let it cook ten minutes, stirring occasion- ally. Turn in a pan; beat in one at a time two eggs.
