Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I was surprised to find Sweet Sixteen calling for a recipe for loneliness, The best recipe I know of is sprightliness. I find it gifficult to take this inquiry from Sweet Sixteen seriously, because never have I seen a statement that Sweet Sixteen could be lonely. Loneliness is_the result of a mor- bid condition of the mind. It marks an_absence of something personal, or 1 the time he went to war, edifying, or pleasing—a gap in our t when he'll come again to me I'll | little world. e from afar.

BACK YARD GARDENS, Corner:—There ought to be 50,000 more gardens in the six New England states than there are at_the present time. The New England backyards devoted principally to growing, weed to increase hay fever, and for propagating cut-worm moths to read their progeny through cultivat- ed fields to destroy the crops of the industrious. This is what the agricultural de- partment of the government tells us may be done in a littic backyard: For vegetables you might make a garden five feet wide by sixteen and a half feet divided into fifteen row: Plant two rows of radish, two inch apart in a row and two of lettuce six inches apart. Piant next four rows of inches apart and three of four inches apart. Then double ath of rows and plart four rows of tomatoes twenty inches apart, that they may have rcom enough to spread. Follow your redish and lettuce with beans, your beans and beets with spinach ‘and turnips and you have eight crops at the end of the season where you started with only five.

Take the same plot of land and make your rows as before, with the excep- tion of the radishes, or one foot apart —the radishes two.inches apart in a row, two rows of lettuce six inches apart, two rows of beets four inches| JOSEPH BRADFORD BOOK BINDER Blank Books Made and Ruled to Order 498 BROADWAY, apart. So far we are all vegetables. Now it is suggested you plant two rows of zinnia eight fo ten inches apart in a row, two of nasturtiums six inches apart, one of ageratums elght inches apart, two of California_pop- ples five to Six inches apart and two of petunias six Inches apart. Follow matoes—which in this scheme are used only as a second crop—and your beans with beans and turnips. Uncle Sam doesnn’t see why the Americans_should not understand in- tensive gardening as well as the Eu- ropeans or Asiatics. The continuous, profitable use of the land now grow- ing weeds and worms in New Eng- land ,would produce enough green stuff to half supply the tables of the working classes if they would work it intelligently. In Japan they use the crevices in the bulldings for plant growing and thus produce flowers and fruit. The day is coming when New Eng- land yards will grow fruit, flowers ana vegetables instead of quack- srass, rag-weeds and_insect pests. JOSEPH DOE. THE COVENTRY LAKE PICNIC. Sixty Social Corner Sisters includ- ing many old friends, some new friends—and many surprises, several children, all the Aunts and one Uncle, gatnered at Coventry Lake on Wed- nesday, June 16th for the annual So- cial Corner picnic. The gay began with a gray sky and a few sprinkles. But it was a merry crowd of yellow ribboners who board- ed_the 10:15 car for the Lake. We were met by Fairy, who led us through wooded paths until near by we heard the cackle of our one Biddy. A few had gone on before, and after srectings _we took possession of the Cottage that had been seclured for us. | Here we enjoyed visiting with our old friennds, and much merriment was caused by trying to find out “Who is Who?” One Sister brought her work, and was soon busy making towels. Later I asked her about her work and she told me she had finished them both. Another trolley and still another srought more Sisters till the woods seemed alive with vellow bows. Meanwhile Biddy assisted by Huldy, Aunty No. 1 and others were busily getting the Juncheon ready. Such an array of salads, sandwiches and cakes of every known kind, as one beheld. When that luncheon was ready such coffee and such _appetites as _we brought to the feast proved to us that getting vp early, no breakfasts and long trolley rides, was the proper way to epproach a luncheon as bounteous as the one provided. After lunch, Club No. 1, gathered on the porch and gave an exhibition of how to make a noise. With heads together one of their number emitted a noise, for that is what it was called “a war whoop!” Then, with their cheer leader they said: “Willimanntnic! Willimantic Club No. 1, B. S. C. S!” It was great fun, Then the long “cut-cut!™ of our one Biddy. Two squirrels sitting on a log nearby disappeared and were not seen again, so great was this distur- bance. After this we were called on to eat ice cream, and while it seemed an impossibility, it soon was an estab- ished fact. Then, those who cared to, took a trip on the launch, these two cour- tesies being cxtended by The Bulletin, Later an original poem by Huldy was read. Boxes were packed to be sent to shut ins, and the Sisters made merry, discovering the Heavenly Twins, and the Sister without an idea in her head. One by one they left the cottage on the trolley, and soon the third annual and most delightful picnic became history. JU FRIDAYS OF GOOD LUCK. E BUG, itor ana Social Corner Sis- Friday an unlucky day? Per- e world at large will never get over the idea that Friday is en un- lueky day. That crucifixion occurred on Fri- day is more than can be proved, for even the year of that event is by no means defermined; but admitting all that is claimed, there have been many events occurring on that unlucky day which were decidedly the reverse. Of course, a long list might be given, but a few connected with American his- tory will do.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. Editor Social Corner:—When I tell you Enid spends her winters in the City of No-Hurry, you will know { where to look for it on the map. They claim at Havana the ther- | mometer never registers below T4 de- | srees any day in the year; and the| customs are queer to visitors. Think | of all business being suspended from 11:30 a. m. until 1 p. m. daily for the | business people to feed. There are more cafes in Havana than in any city in America and a woman is never seen in them—they are the resorts of men. When we were there the boys who sold magazines had a boy in a uni- form several sizes too big for him marching in front, first blowing a lit- tle horn, then calling out his papers through a_megaphone. He is followed by a boy with a great load of periodicals. The boy that biows the horn takes the money. A passing funeral looked queer to us. The hearse had doors meeting in a point in the back. The decorations “If T'd stayed another week Wwith Cousin Emeline, I'd have gone clean, raving crazy!” exclaimed Aunt Sally on her return from New York. “We don’t know what the rest and quiet and beauty of the country means till we put it alongside of Hvin' in a great city. You don’t get your fair share of sun- shine or fresh air or green things, or even of clean wind. I'd about as lief go _to prison as live all my life in a flat!" Emeline met me at the depot. She lives In a flat, up six flights of stairs, and what do you s'pose their rent is? They have eight rooms for $40 a month! I was too tired to look around much, so I had a cup of real nice tea and got to bed. I woke up twice in the night. Once it was cats—the terriblest pow-wowin’ you ever heard. The other time I dreamed I was smothering. There was two windows and they was wide open, but there wa'nt no air com- ing In. I was waked up again about daylight by a little voice down below crying: 2 “Mary Ann, come and dress ine." 1 couldn’t make out where the child was. It sounded as if she was right in the house. I went to the window and I saw her. She was one flight down. I could look right into the room. She saw me, and if you'd be- lieve it, she didn't seem a mite put out, but went on shouting: “Mary Ann, come and dress me.” Pretty soon a new voice chimed in, It was a man’s voice and he swore if she didn’t stop velling, or if Mary Ann didn’t show up, he'd come himself and give her a dressing down. Then her father got up end gave her an awful spanking. She cried for a good half hour and the man upstairs velled at her time and again, and 1 heard Cousin Emeline from another window call to her to stop bawling. She did quit at Jast and began to call for Mary Ann to dress her. At last, about 6 o'clock, Mary Ann came. She was in a bad temper her- self and the little girl had half a doden crying spells because her hair was pulled, her face washed and her shoes buttoned tight. When she was dressed she got out a drum and a harmonica. Aunt Sally Visits a City Flat I shan’t never scold again when the old rooster starts crowing at 4 o'clock. Well, I got dressed! I thought I'd stifie with the curtains down. I looked to see where our breathing air came from. We was two floors from the top and you could see a patch of sky about as big as our housetop;. but, land sake, Wwhen you looked down it ‘was into a narrow, deep dungeon that got darker all the way down, It wasn't more than eight feet across from wall to wall, and every window looked into another op- posite. When I was dressed I started for what I thought was the dining room. It wasn't. I wes in a room Where a young fellow was slumbering as sound as you please. I was glad he didn’t see me, o I tried another door and I found myself in the dark outside hall, smelling a dozen breakfasts— beefsteak and onions, bacon and esgs, fried fish, griddle cakes and coffee of every brand. I wandered,to the kitchen. There Wwas no cook stove there, except a jim- Py thing that burned gas. Pretty soon a frowsley looking hired girl came out, half dressed. She was kinder sulky at first, but grew more friendly as she saw I hadn't ever been in a flat before. They do have some conveniences we don’t have. A little bell kept ringing and then the girl would go and pull up a dumb waiter. One time there would be a hunk of ice on it, another milk and cream, then the beil would tinkle for the hot rolls, and the butcher sent up lamb chops, and the groceryman a load of things. Cousin Emeline got out to the kitch- en about § o'clock, and it seemed to amuse her to see how strange things looked to me. Tt gives you the queerest feeling to stand in the parlor and look through to the kitchen. You'd think you were spying through a long telescope, with away at the far end the dead walls and ‘washings brought down as emall as a microscope. I tell you, I was glad when I got back to the old farm once more, and could truly say, with Farmer Gray: “The best of & journey is getting home.” MEG. geous livery drove our party of four 14 blocks, or about 7 miles for 30 cents. The trolley and the jitney have no_competitive chance there. The hotel we stopped at had no glass windows and no one shouted “shut the door!” Open doors and open shutters are the rule. The amusements run from 6 a. m. to 12 midnight daily. Visitors are al- ways identified by their haste for no one else ever thinks of hurrying in Havana. PLINY TO REMOVE GRASS STAINS. PALERMO. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Is there any room for a poor little creature like me? T have been a reader of the Sc- cial Corner for some time. Ready: Glad to hear from your pen often. Hope to see you soon. I think I know L. H. K. Didn’'t you live once in Lisbon? If so, I called on you while living there. ‘Where is Fairy Godmother? Haven't seen any of your writing for some time. Hope you are not ill. A Good Way for taking out green srass stains: Rub the spots with alco- hol before washing. As the Social Corner ought to have a pet, I will sign my name KITTY. STOVE INK.

Sisters, did you ever hear of Stove Ink? It works wonders on red and rusty stoves. . Follow directions on bottle and then polish with some good blacking and you will be pleased with results. It can be bought in hard- ware stores. T hope this will help some one as it did me. DEW DROP. GREETINGS FROM PONTIAC. Editor and Social Corner Sisters: I haven't much to write, so much has been said on so many subjects. I confess I felt the least bit jealous about Biddy's picnic, as I could not go. It is quite a ways to go. Sweet Sixteen: What a funny thing for a Sweet Sixteen to be wanting a recipe for loneliness. I think a good brisk walk in the good country air is good. Try singing and see how that works. I am sorry you don't know School Girl. She is a very dear friend of mine. Should like to know you, as I am s0 near your age. I do not dare tell my initials as there are several outside The Corner who are trying to find me out. Sunshine: My curiosity has got the best of me. Do tell me what you know about my running. Can't you give me a hint as to who you are? Crimson Rambler: Did you have a nice time at Mrs. P's party? Hyacinth: Was o glad to make your acquaintance. I wish vou would come back into The Corner. How did you feel after Tuesday night? I think You have an excellent school. Have heard several speak of it. School Girl: I feel quite indignant towards you tonight. Don't think 1 shal] write any more to you now. PONTIAC. TIMELY RECIPES.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: I am sending_remedies for burns. Burns and Scald: In case of a burn or scald, relief may be obtained immediately by applying a linen rag saturated with a solution of carbon- ate of soda, and keeping the rag con- atantly wef; or by covering the in- jured place with a rag soaked with linseed oil and lime water. It will be found well to keep a bottle of the oil and lime water in_equal parts al- ways ready In case of a_nemergency. If the skin is removed by the burn, the flesh may be thickly sprinkled with flour then covered with cotton to exclude the air. The dressing on a burn or scald should be removed as seldom as possible as this retards the healing. Thanks to Social Corner Sisters for birthday, cards thev.sent me: Queen — Elizabeth. Crimson Rambler, Dom Pe- dro, Theoda, Blanche, Sister Ready, and Aunty No. 1. Best wishes to all Cornerites. PAULA. A CHAT FROM SATURDAY EVE.

Polly Peppermint: You surely are having a picnic on your tramps for birds. Just wish I could be with you.

Heziah Doolittle: You shall see just a fe lines from my pen Satur- day. 1 trieg your recipe for Highland Cookies and we like them very much. Fine for picnic. Meg: I have been on that verge several times in my life. Why dldn't you add some eggs to that scramble? How to Cook Rice: Wash in two or three waters; pour boiling water on it and add a little salt; boil hard for one half hour and the heads will re- main perfect.

I hope tor have personally greeted many of you at the annual picnic before this is printed. One glorious day of last week I had the pleasure of joining Social Corner Club No. 1 at the lovely home of Maine Lover who was assisted in entertaining by Trottie and Wander- ing Jew. The table with its tempting array of goodies was set on the lawn In the shade of a fine old maple, and we did justice to everything, especially to the delicious ice cream and cake which were served later. The absent ones missed a right good time. ‘heoda: Please send in the recipe of that ple. Roxanna Wince: Please tell us just how you made that cheese. Mine al- ‘ways crumbles,
