PHOTOGRAPI{ER HOPES TO AT'I'END THE PICNIC. Dear Sisitere of Social Corner:— Glad to read so many nice reports concerning the birthday anniversary. I should have enjoyed it myself, had I been able to be present. ~Although it was such a stormy day, the attend- ance was very good which shows the spirit of perseverance and ambition on the part of those who could and did manage to be present. The meeting appeals fo me as a gathering of friends and strangers, who united together to have a good friendly visit for a_ few hours, with a good wholesome dinner included. I also observe from the different writers that the family of “social sisters” have increased quite a good deal during the past six years, which tends to show the help and encour- agement given them by the head of the sister family. For those who live in the locality of meeting places, it must be very pleasant to greet each other at these frequent gatherings. I presume the annual picnic in June, held at the lake, will be the banner event of the year. I, for one am looking forward with pleasure In anticipation of meeting with you. My closing thought: “That which is worth doing, is worth doing well, for things done by halves are never done right.” Kind wishes and friendship. ENNIE.

Dear Editor of the Social Corner: We talk about the old-fashioned gar- den, but it is beyond us to imagine what the primeval garden looked like, unless it looked like the garden of the agricultural ant, which may have seen the first to have a private gar- en. The first gardens were things of ne- cessity, the last the product of -taste and judgment. Man instinctively took the herbs and roots and nuts for food like other animals; and may have been led to know the value of the grasses oy the creatures who fed upon the seeds. Rice and oats and rye and wheat are the seeds of grasses, so when Nebuchadnezar was.sent to eat grass his fare may not have been so very trying. The flower garden in which we find so much pleasure is young compared with the countleu ages man has cul- tivated the soil to furnish the table. t was doubtless the fields of violets and daisies and golden rod, the wild ping out, as it gives us a homesick Etta Barber: Welcome back.
