Dear Social Cornerites: When vou start on a picnic take a good lunch and plenty of it. Plan a day before hand. If you are possessed of a short memory, make a list of what you will need. The sandwich is the.picnic standby of_which a variety never come amiss. For simple. sandwiches, butter white bread thinly, and place between thin slices: of cold chicken, if one happens to.have it, or thin slices of cold boil- ed ham, scrambled egg, or whatever one might have on_hand. It you are going to have a campfire take some thin slices of bacon, or a few frankfurters, and toast them over the fire; for the frankfurters one needs a little wide-mouthed bottle of prepared mustard. The sandwiches may be kept fresh and moist by wrapping in parafine pa- per. Saratoga Chips are nice if one pre- fers to make them. Here is a good recipe: Pare and slice very thin me- dium sized potatoes. Let them stand in cold water for a little while. Drain on a towel. Fry in hot lard until browned, remove to brown paper to absorb the fat and sprinkle with salt Of course you will want to take some cake for dessert. A bottle of grape juice, which can be diluted with water, makes a drink, or one may take a bot lemon syrup and make lemon: n a minute.” Lemonade: Boil one cup suzar, two cups sugar, two cups of water twelve minutes; add one-thirg of a cup of lemon juice: cool and pour into a wide-neck bottle and dilute, accc to_one's taste.

The husband, a very slow and pompous person, took us through the house, but as he was summarizing the advantages of the house, real and imaginary, the wife joined us. Imme- diately the man’s manner changed from stony pomp to meekness and hu- mility. “He drifted out of the limelight at once, and what got me was the con- tentment with which he became a su- per. That's why I call him the ideal husband. As soon as his wife came along he retired with a figurative bow, as much as to say: ‘Now you have the real works. I now lay before you something of which I am justly proud. You would have thought he was a sculptor and that she was something he had _just sculped. “When the wife remarked that it was a perfect day the husband grinned as much as to say ‘Isn’'t she the cute un? Everything she said seemed a particularly brilliant sally in his opi ion. The only time he didn't srin was when his wife spoke of her first hus- band. I don't know why wives have to tell everybody about their first hus- bands. But she got over the ground promptly in the early part of the pro- gramme and never went back to it. “The husband’s conduct during the recitation concerning the late lamented was heroic! He merely turned his back and stood with his hands in his pock- ets, apparently observing distant hills. It was just like a person waiting for change in a store. “In due time his wife remembered his presence and said: ‘But that was years before I met Mr, Smith. At that Mr. Smith, the ideal husband, knew that part one of his wife's recftal was_over. “Every time the lady referred to him in her narrative he glowed with pleas- ure, he was so happy and proud to figure in the life of such a grand lady. She spoke grandly and she wore grand gold spectacles, and her manner was grandly bland, which, of course, is the only real pure and unadulterated grandness, and 1 suspect that you have to be like that in order to secure an ideal husband like Mr. Smith. “Having had one man to practice o sives a woman a great advantag goncluded Miss Wertenweiler.—Chicago News. spoons baking powder; vanilla flavor- ing.

PRIMROSE. New London's Sc ducted on Business Princ cerning Municipal Wharf. (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, July 7.—At the month- ly meeting of the New London court of common council Alderman Alton T. Miner gave the board of school visitors severe jolts in regard to what med reckless expenditure of the public funds, present and prespective, for it made o difference to the school- men whether the money was available or not. If not, up rolled the deficit which must ba'met by increased tax- ation. It is not many moons ago when at a meeting of the hoard of shool visitors it was announced that the board was supposed to spend money whenever and wherever it was deemed necessary, but it was not up to the board to' provide the money. The school visitors have evidently been doing business along that plan. Al- derman Miner stated as an instance that the board seemed to imagine It had the right to spend the city's money without any regard to the amount appropriated for school pur- poses, and in this way incurred a floating debt of $30,000. With not a cent In sight to meet the increased expenditure, the board in- creased the salaries of the school teachers. No doubt the teachers are deserving of more pay, but it is mighty poor business to increase when no provision is made to meet that ex- pense, and when it can only be provid- cd for by that always dreaded in- crease in an already heavy tax for a city no larger than New London. A year ago the school committee had a deficit of $5000 and instead of economizing to meet it deliberately in- creased the indebtedness to four times that amount. The alderman said he had nothing to say against the person- nel of the board, but he was satisfied that the school affairs of the city were not conducted on business principle: and if continued would put the ci so deep in unnecessary debt that fu- ture generations would be burdened and the city’s progress effectually blocked. A motion pfevailed that the board of school visitors be ordered, not requested, to submit to the court of common council at the next meet- ing a detalled statemert of the school finances. The board of school visi- tors for years has insisted fthat its members being elected by the people, just as are the members of the court of comon council, that the board is responsible for its action to the peo- ple direct and not through the court of common_council. It is therefore not absoluteiy sure that there will be dompliance with the orders of the council. Have a care, gentlemen, lest there be a soclal fight on in New Lon- don that will totally eclipse anything that has ever happened in the allezed school-fighting town of Stonington. Just what will be done towards the purchase of the Thomas W. Casey property in Ocean avenue, for school purposes, which has been generally discussed by the town council and the townspeople generally for the past two months, is still in the air. The council has gone on record as being in favor of the very desirable proparty, as suggested by the school visitors, but the opinion of the corporation counsel has prevented such actlon. He says that inasmuch as the oity has no funds for that speclal purpose that the purchase would not be legal, but there was nothing to prevent the city leasing the property with perhaps the ultimate agreement of purchase, a sort of gentleman’s agreement. The corporation counsels opinion was not sought in relation to the pur- chase on the annuity plan of eight acres of land in the rear of Riverside avenue and along the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road’ company, with entrance from Ocean avenue, _indirect. This pro- perty is owned by Dr. F. W. Calkins and for years has been in the mar- ket but without a purchaser, although inducements have been offered to par- tles who contemplated locating indus- tries in the city. The place is suit- able for park or industrial purposes and in behalf of the park commisston- ers, Alderman Miner offered a vote, whica prevailed providing for pur- hoo!

Dr. and Mrs. Calkins are quite aged and the daugh- ter is perhaps middle-aged, but should the payments continue for a longer period than anticipated it could be demonstrated to a man equal to the DBS.

The citizens in city meeting, under the guidance of well-meaning citizens of prominence, did some time ago just what the court of common council said the school committee should not have done. That city meeting voted to build a municipal pier at a cost of £32,000 and to Improve the approach to the Groton-New Londonferry, and with no coin to pay for it in sight. True those citizens of promience said the money was practically in hand and no doubt they believed themselves just as the others believed them, but the sed their information on an unrelia- ble grand list, which will shrink fully the amount that the gentlemen said was practically in hand and could be used for the proposed improvement. The details have been explained in this correspondence, and is recalled bec: motion prevailed in the coun- cil meeting that parties occupying the premises that are to be improved have been ordered to quit on or before Sep- tember 1 next. This would indicate that it was proposed to go right ahead with the construction of that pier and the other improvements proposed, and with no money in sight to pay for the same. So it gets right back to the be- ginning, and its a safe bet that the vote adopted in that city meeling to assess a special tax to meet the ex- penses, but which as a matter of fact would not be assessed, but the vote passed as a matter of legal form, will become an added burden to the tax- payers.
