SOCIAL CORNER PICNIC JUNE 23D Dear Social Corner Friends: 23d is the day set for the annual picnic South - Coventry. ‘It was Biddy’s pleasure to meet with her committee in charge at the home of Tidy Addly Thursday, June 8th. o committee consists of Biddy as chairman, Hully, Practical Polly, Tidy Addly, Saturday [ Bve, Tiny, Crimson Rambler, Aunt 'abby, Popover, Polly Wintergreen, riniies. Roxanna Wince was on the commit- tee, but her husband not being well T, Tidy. Aaaly 1o ly. ly is a_cap- 1 ctiose her bottom, which is so essential to health. Clean:oft the dust with a soft brush once or twice a. ‘week. Some housekeepers buy very slender ood laths instead of tape. These may. be used season after season. The ef- fect is very nice in either case, as the netting doés not sag, but tightens be- cduse of the rains or dew. In these days of chiffon, voile, Geor- gette crepe and net dresses the fol- lowing sewing hint ‘is timely: The home - dressmaker very often finds it difficult to cut apd sew chiffon, crepe de chine or Georgette crepe. Here is the problem solved: Pin the material firmly on paper, then lay the pattern lon the other two thicknesses and cut out the shape wished. Baste and sew the material with the paper still at- tached; when it is all finished it is easy t0 tear away the paper and the seams are all perfectly straight. A hint for stains on clothes and ta- ble lifien: it staing - may Te- moved by soaking them in boiling wa- ter. Chocolate 'or tea-stains should be soaked in cold water. For coffee stains, pour bolling water from height, brushing the spots beforehand with borax. A hint for pillow making: In mak- ing pillow cases it 1s a good idea to make them at least two inches larger than the pillow. Nothing - detracts from the looks of a bed more than pillows stuffed into pillow cases. Then covers for the pillows of the old cases or of new cloth, just to This serves tq cover the ticking and'to keep it from becoming soiled or discolored. Best wishes to all. I-hope all are now in the best of health. BDASTER LILY.

THEODA ENTERTAINS. Dear Social Corner Friends:—A number of Social Corner folks were ebtertained last Friday by Theoda in her homie on Columbia road. We spent a’delightful day. A nice lund was served by the hostess. Music, story telling and selections on the phono- graph were heard. A number were prevented from coming by bad weath- er. ‘We hope for a good attendance at the June- picnic. -Joseph Doe—J, have thirty-elght dahlias and have transplanted twenty- four. Theoda's were looking fine, too. Yma: You nfust diet if you want the front seat. Just lovely of you to bring me_home. Bright Ray: Do try and bring the baby to the laxe.

I saw something about a white bird being seen at Norwich Town and Theoda saw one around her home: Mr. Addly thought it might be a White robin. Can any one tell? ‘We have lettuce and spinach plaited this spring, ready for the table. How is that? (MRS.) T. ADDLY. et TO CLEAN A TABLE TOP. Soctal Corner Bditor:—Bright Ray’s table-top will become a joy to her if she will remove (or have it done) all the varnish from the top with paint Temover. (About 25 cents' worth will do the trick) using a smooth scraper and old rags. If some varnish sticks use a little fine emery and linseeq oil, end rub, ruo, rub After wiping off il oil and emery, if the Wood seems wo thfee small Try it and see how:nice it is. POCAHONTAS. A FEW SIMPLE STITCHES IN EM- - BROIDERY. -~ above, s0 that the stitch shall slant and side. This stitch is of special value in working stems which need to be wider than the ordinary. . outline would make them. Rope Stitch: This is a heavy and very handsome outline stitch. It is usually made Wwith rope silk. first stitch is mon chain stitch, but ‘in the sec- ond stitch the needls fs Inserted just al > and to the left of the preced- ing loop. This gives a heavy twist- ed effect, which is muchricher than any of the common in . stitches. ‘There are many other . beautiful stitches,, 1 hope some of the Sisters will try these and wrif some of’ your embroidery work. I. be glad to learn some new I have learneg many. Iam a new sister. Best wishes to all. ‘Willimantic. STAR. How Old Is Your Brain? What is your mental age? Tt makes no difference what your actual age is, you.bave what is known as a _mental age—somewhere between six months and twenty-five years or thereabouts. Among school children it has long' Dbeen noticed that some, much older thian others in point of years, were a good distancé behind them mentally. The idea was evolved that if children, fmbeciles and criminals could be given simple tests to determine exactly how a shaped and full to| waist erimes. - iminal were found to be only eight years old mentally, then the prope: 2 trifie lighter in’ color than the var-| o nished part of the table, rub in the grain of the wood, lamp black and ofl until the color seems right. Use plenty of rags and rub, rub, Tub, clean. Then apply floor wax, not a lot, but just enough to cover well, Aand rub, rud, rub. Soon that top will shine beautifully and no hot dish or water will mar the surface to such an extent that a little wax and elbow grease applied once a weeic wilt not keep it in fine condi- n. I did e table-top this way, and while it seemed like a good bit of bard work at first, it is so easy to keep it nice now, that it pald well.
