Dear, Social Corner Sisters: I send in a féw recipes: Ribbon Cake—Beat fo a cream one cup of butter and two cups of suga add the beaten yolks of four eges, one cup of milk in which one teaspoon of soda is dissolved, three cups of cassoons Of cream of fariar And ne teasp. of an e e, whites of the eggs. Bake two-thirds ‘of thé do tins; add to the ning cupof currants, a little citron, cut in small pleces, one teaspoon of all kinds of spices, two_tabléspoons of molasses, then bake. When nearly cold put ti cakes together with jelly, having the fruit cake in the middie. Cherry Pie—Rich, ripe cherries are required for this purpose. It is a mistake to_use inferior fruit. Line a rather deep tin ple plate with good crust. Stone cherrles enough to fill the pie, heaping them in the centre and sprinkling heif a cup of sugar over them. Mako a rich puff paste. wet the undercrust’cn the edge and press the uppercrust into it - lightly Wwith the fingers. There should be abundant slits in ths uppercrust to allow the steam to escape. Put the pie in a very hot oven and baike it as rap- ialy as possible. Best wishes to all Cornerites. PAULA.

Dear Editor and Sisters: -Another gala day of Social Corner events has|oil passed into history and only ‘& very pleasant memory remains of the occur- rences of the day. weatlier be” on the day of days, when all roads led to Aunty No. I's hospit- able home, where for the second tim she has .welcomed all the Social Cor« ner family, and wbere the final, general eocial event takes place for this year. Trains coming. from. every direction brought those who. wore the yellow boy: those who. came by auto, by single and double team and 1 were warmly welcomed by Aunty No. 1's smiling face as ehe stood under the decorated porch to receive all. My power of expression is inade- quate to describe the surprise and, pleasure which was ours on that day, and to express our appreciation afd ks for all that was done to make the Social Corner outing so thorough- ly enjoyable. Every comfort and con- venience w: ride from t our improvised recreation room and the food so temptingly arranged on the long table. I cannot do justice in describing the one corner of the ceiling to the oppo- site one and were caught together in the center by a Jarge bow of yellow; the four sides were also draped and the Social Corner color was brominent everywhere. The window ~ draperies were yellow, the table cover and bne of the floral decorations was & besuti- tul_bunch of yellow dahlias and as- paragus. I .was told much credit was due Great Grandma, Grace and Slim Jim for their assistance in the decorat which was very plessing snd added greatly to the coziness of the place. 1 doubt if such sociability could be found in any other gathering as was manifest among us that day. It seem- ed as if the bond of unity and friend- ship was stronger than ever, it the clatter of voices gave any evidence.
