As for myself, well, I was so inter- ested in a friendly chat with a Sister, whom I had met for the first time, that the peanut game, and all dancing passed by without my help. It was very pleasant that some of the Sisters could bring along their visitors, whom they are entertzining at home, that they, too, might share a Social Corner pic Sister Wylt- wick was pleased to introdure her amother and brother, who are her guests from New York state, and we were glad to greet them.

TESTED® SALADS. For the Social Corner: I am always anxious to read the letters found in the Social Corner. They are concise and to the ,point. The recipes and home hints are always practical, an item which should never be overiook- ed in choosing recipes in cookery and methods in household management, I have some recipes which I have found through my experience in cook- ing and I would like to share them. Raw Carrot Salad: Two cups of ground carrots, one-half cup ground raisis (more if desired); mix these ing: nts thoroughly with the oil, or boiled salad dressing. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves topped with a Iit- tle of the dressing and a sprinkling of walnut meats if desired. Use a food- ciiopper in the process of grinding it is a quicker and more satisfactory method than the knife. Raw Carrot Grated Over Potato Salgd makes a very attractive addi- tion to “this oid picmic standby.” Pineapple Rice: Pick over and wash one cup of rice. Put over a quick fire in about one quart of cold water and stir with a fork occasionally until the water boils; let bell rapidly three minutes, drain through a fine sieve and let cold water run through® the wire. Place this blanched ric n a double boiler, add three cups of boil- ing water and three-quarters of a tea- spoon of salt, let cock until the water is absorbed and the rice tender: allow to get very cold, add one-half cup of cream, one-half cup of sugar. Mix e, cream, sugar until thoroughly orporated. Stir in one cup of fine- 1v divided pineappic and earve in glass dishes, or sherbet cups. To Cut Sliced Pineapple: Make an incision through the slic At the right angles to this place the knife and cut around the slice, making two | sections. Pick up each section and| cut. It will be found to cut much To Use Scraps of%Beef or Chicken: h and blanch one cup of rice as ribed above. Place in double boil- add one-half teaspoon of salt, two of boiling water, and two cups of Campbell’s tomato soup. One cup of soup stock may be substituted for one cup of the tomato or three cups of water and one of tomato. There must be four cups of liquor. Cook un- til rice is tender. Add in time tc be thoroughly heated one cup of dried beef or chicken. Serve very hot Ty We G INVITING DISHES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: These recipes will be found to be acceptable to these who like new things: One-Egg Cake: One egg, one cup sugar, one tablespoon shortening, sait, two-thirds cup sweet milk, one jarge cup rice flour, one-half- cup wheat flour, one teaspoon vanilla, one and one-half téaspoons baking powder. Bake in sponge cake pan and frost with Lily’s condensed milk frosting. Amber Pudding: Stir one teacup of cornmeal and one quart of sliced sweet apples into one quart of boil- ing milk; add one teaspoon of salt and one teacup of Trholasses. Mix thoroughly. Add two quarts of milk, pour into a large buttered dish and bake in a slow oven four kours. Serve cold. Fish Omelet Cook one level tea- spoon each of corn flour and butter together, add wradually one cup hot milk and a little pepper. Soak cod- fish over night, one heaping cup in small pieces. In the morning cook un- til soft that it mav shred easily. Mix with thickemed milk. Then mix the whole withi one pnt_cold boiled po- tatoes chopped fine. Put a tablespoon of butter in spider, when hot turn in fish and cook slowly until a thick brown ecrust has formed: then fold over and turn out on a hot platter. Garnish with curls of bacon fried and parsley. Cucumber Catsup: Made without cooking, and it retafns perfectly the taste of fresh cucumbers. Pare very thin six large and fresh cucumbers and chop fine, add a small tablespoon of salt, let it drain in a collander about an hour, add two small or one large onion chopped fine, teaspoon of white pepper and one piat of white wine vinegar (cider vinegar will do). Stir it all well together, put into wide- mouthed bottles, seal it airtight and let it stand at least a month before using. Anvone fond of cucumbers will like this. If airtight will keep years, EXPERIENCE. CORNER CLUB RE- UNION. Dear Social Corner Friends: Tt was indeed a Red Letter day when nearly eighty of the clan gathered on the THE SOCIAL annual club reunion. The pleasure was mutual when frieng greeted friend or straneer on that beautiful day, amid such delightful surroundings. The view of the lake was especially good from our location, and the cool, inviting woofls made an ideal place to meet and eat our lunch. e greatly appreciated the kindness of Mr. Brooks in-putting up tables and seats for our use at noontime, as well as for the use of the roomy..conven- ient casino. After our lunch a brief business ses- sion was held, followed by a song by th; occasion, and we still hear its echo. Amy saild her book contained 76 names, so that means over three score and ten thanks to The Bulletin for cur delicious ice cream which was served before the picnic was over. To my regret, I had to leave the merry party, sooner than I should chpose, but as trolley cars and trains, are like the tide, that waits for .no man (nor Social Cornerites), I was obliged to depart, and soon I was speeding over iron rails homeward bound. In conclusion I would add one im- portant thought, and that is, while the Sisters and friends enjoy these social gatherings, for the time being, there is always a continued pleasure of thinking it over afterwards at our leisure. To me, persondlly, it has af- forded a discovery trom a Social Cor- rer Sister, that she was once a school irl friend of my mother, and I en- ved so much to learn that fact. Hoping we shall all meet again to have some more good times W! may be helpful as well as . a ‘memory of a day pleasantly spent, and hoping it may be repeated at some future time! THEODA. WHY NOT READ FOR A PURPOSE? Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Greeting to each. I enjoy your letters more than I can tell you. Before the Social -Corner began .I was a reader 6f The Bulletin, and when the Editor announced he was preparing for a_Social department I eagerly leoked forward to the first i gue of it. I think it a splendid addi- tion to the paper. 1f.1 were the judge each Sister would receive a prize. Per- mit me to say I think the letters in The Bulletin for June 29 were the best ever printed.

We have a real garden this year from which I am canning the sur- plus; but my little back yard gar- den of last summer wa® much more of a success than the first year. My tomato plants furnished enough for the table, some for the neighuors, and all 1 needed for canning. I planted snake beans (or Kentucky Wonders), around two clothgy poles that were in the garden and Mad sev- eral meals. of delicious string beans. My five hills of potatoes and three of paring, yielded well. My Dbeets were abeut the size of walnuts (as my first planting did not come up), but I pickled every one; all these with Swiss chard and a few cucumbers re- paid me for my first year's failure. My motto is still, “Try, trv again.” That little garden seemed to be a joke with my neighbors. My morning “Mary, 2 quite does your garden grow?’ Yo knew my name and disposition. . We have heard of Toad Stools springing up in a night, but never of cabbages in a forenoon.
