POETRY. A Winter Morning. The soft, blue sky, leaned down toward the earth, Veiled with White, moved and sti Like the light pinions of some sleeping flcecy clouds that ird, Poised in the cther where it had its birth, An opal radiance shimmered in the east, Mounted and widened, till, ghot through its bars, The arrows of the sun dispersed the stars, Glad from their service to be thus re- leased. No san which lights a perfect day im June Has ever known a fairer eky tham this; It should be welcomed by the songbirds’ tune, G Its rose and gold should greet the south-wind's kiss ; Who could believe, did he not glance be- low, This glory bends above snow? —By Ninette M. Lowater. a waste of January. A fair new year before us stands With wondrous gifts within his hands And riches for the earth’s broad lands.

NEW YEAR‘S“GREETINGS Dear Social Corner:—Having been lent for some time Wwe will pen a few lines for the Corner page, first by wishing the editor and all members a most pros- perous and happy New Year. As in years gone by there have been many changes making some happy, with other seeing sad and loncly hours. As we en- ter the New Year let us have a kind ward for one and all. Make it a happy year in our homes, “Dbe cheerful and thoughtful to one aYother and let there be no room for discouragement. ‘“For- wards is the Watchword.” Thus you and yours will be happy. With much interest we have read the Bocial Corner page the past year and have greatly enjoyed the letter from the many new writers. While we must ad- mit we have missed a large number of our old friends who have dropped out. As the women are now voting and h to make the laws of the state let. us hope they will help make the Corner page the best ever in 1921. May ‘the New Year bring its full share of health, happiness and prosperity to every member of the Soctal Corner is the wish of i RURAL DELIVERY THE OPENING OF A NEW YEAR. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: As we are permitted to enter upon the dawn of another new year, our thoughts are lead to wonder what may be in store for us in 1921, Resolutions are in evi- dcnce at this early stage of the year, showing §he best of intentions for good -results. It seems a general benefit to us all, to maintain, and express our best wishes for happiness and prosperity to each other, at this particular season of tho calendar, The Social Corner f:has opened its page for another year, with opportunities for the writers to continue, to contribute of their substance, for helpfulness, items of interest for all readers of e Bulletin. I think we are never lacking for an op- portunity to assist one another, either gircetly or indirectly, and often we re- gret to hear the sentiment of those who say. am not looking for those things.” We are apt to frown upon such a disposition, for well we know, they may, and often do, need something, which presents their case, an opportunity for others to act upon. Many conditions of life might be encouraged, among the sick and sad-hearted, if only a trifle was given out in the right spirit, at ths need- ed time. In referring again to the res- olutions of the new year, the varieties are many and largely tend to elfect ot ers, whom we’'may be in contact with. However, none can do bet than to resolve, to perform some oné deed of kindness, some act of denial, or unsel- fishness, at least once a week. Consid- ering our own environments, and circum- stances that may necessarily hinder. Oft- times we are unconscious that a word, or « smile, or a card which we gave out, zmounted to anything, just then, but per- haps years later, we were reminded of its help, so then two hearts are glad.in- stead of one. I trust all sisters of our Social Corner may be able to fulfill their good resolutions, and seek for oppor- tunities to help along those both near and far, who need encouragement, where life's ways are not pleasant to them. Good cheer will count much in “onely hours, and as we receive, let us give out Happy new year to all. milk (bring to boil), one small cup su- T, one or two eggs, as you like; one- half cup flour; flavor with either lemon or vanilla. Lily Cake—One-third cup butter, one sugar. one-half cup milk, one and fourths cups flour, two and ome- aspoons baking powder, whites of one-third teaspoon lemon ex- two-thirds teaspoon vanilla. A happy new year to all MABS.

SURPRISED AND DELIGHTED WITH GREETING. ‘To the Dear Social Corner: I will write you of my New Year's greeting. It came as a surprise in a large gilded basket filled with potted plants which I will try to describe, that all the Social Corner sisters may realize its beauty. Six poinsettas with their bright red blossoms and green leaves, seven roses, begonias and ferns, a pepper plant with red fruit blossoms, and buds, with clus- ters of fine white flowers, all tastefully arranged. Tears of leve and gratitude to God and to all the dear Social Cormer sisters came freely as I gazed on its beauty. The Bibie is full of promises to all who love, read, trust and obey will be led in pleasant paths on the sunny side of- the way. May the New Year as it passes bring to you all, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, peace and prosper- ity is e prayer of GREAT GRANDMOTHER. PLEASED WITH THE GIFTS. Dear Social Corner Editor: Many thanks for the pretty little yellow slip. Aunt Mary: I want to thank you for my pretty little bag that matched tue yellow slip. I a:n going to write you as soon as I can. I want to thank Paula and Social Cor- uner members, aiSo the other Social Cor- mer sisters, that sent me so many very pretly cards and remembrances. Paula the scarf end you sent was very attrac- tive. Soclal Corner Readers: 1 thank you So much for your kind letters of encour- agement, and also for your cards. I think you all know me by my name, “Kitty Lou,” and as some other Social Corner sister has taken the name of Et- ta Lou, I think I will change my name ' So the Social Corner readers who look for Kitty Lou, will have to read all the let- ters before you discover how Kitty Lou's letters are signed. I wish that joy may attend you all and that fortune may send you very pany happy years. KITTY LOU. MOVED INTO THE COUNTRY. Dear Social Corner Sisters: When The Bulletin came this Monday morning I cuse that I wanted to warm up, just to read our Social Corner page. First I read the letter from Sisters that I.know, then the other letters which I also enjoyed, fthen 1 counted them and was surprised to find there were only seventesn as I expected to see enough to fill one page, it being the New Year. Since my last letter I have moved into the country. Af- ter enjoying town life for six months I am out on the farm again. I do not mind it, a8 'tls only fifteen minutes walk to trolley so I can go to town any time I want to. Have come across some very | kind people and think I will tell you! about it. I started for town one day and just missed the car, so had 55 mum-| utes to wait. As it was a cold. Windy| day I decided to walk until the ecar came along. The driver stopped and was kind enough to ask if I wanted a ride so 1 got in and told him 1 was going to Norwich. He said he could take me to Taftville as that was as far as he was going. Just as we got to his stapping BRI Ademin (R, Dlase, & grain e i l Tcould do was to make very fanecy em- THAYER BLDG sometimes pia) with the gums. vOC So do ids. 1t is best not to take .

It cheered me up wonderfully. 1 hope the weather man will be good to- morrow, as I am prepared to attend the gathering, for as Joan says, eight wecks, is a long.time to wait = 1 expeoted to see Arrabella and Mr. Arrabella up at the farm by this t'me.

Joan:_ I have three windows full of plants, not rooms. I am delighted with them. Every one looks s0 nice and thrifty and have had blooms all winter. I have a double white petunia with over 29 buds and one bloesom. When blossom- ed they are the size of a five-cent picce. They remind me of little roses. Theoda: No one has guessed the name of that plant with the fragrant blossom. To the one who guesses the right name I will send them seme seeds. Blanche: Where are you for guessing those seeds. They would be just right for your containers. Now guess. Ma of Green Gables: We raise a great many squashes but don’t sell any. Mr. Acorn likes them for his hens. I want to say -right here we get over & hundred eggs day and I think the pumpkins make them lay. I have eaten ples with no eggs and they are real good, but I put two and three eggs in mine. 1 have a large white dish. 1 squeeze a quart of squash through a pofato ricer, take a tablespoon of ginger, one of hutmeg, salt, cup and half sugar, three eggs and a big quart of milk and it makes three'piés.

We are having such mild weather now, why don’t you fly down here. I received the pack- age. Thank you and mater. Mandy: Hope you are on the gain. Wiltwyek: I dried two quarts of sweet corn and will dry more next year. I like it much better than canned corn. LUCY ACORN all about that—and when one day the vain little girl pinned a brand new hat upon her golden hair she really pricked sleep, out of which nohting could rouse her. The poor mother went to see the me: dium, and what she heard there consoled her heart and eased her mind. “Your, daughter,” she said, “will sleep one month over a half year. Then she will get kissed and awaken to new life.” Seven months of sleep was not alto- gether a _pleasant fact to face; and what came afterward sounded more promising, for who would be apt to kiss a sleeping beauty but some kind of a fairy prince? And in this hope mother and father and all good friends watched at the flower- covered bed of the pretty sleeper to see what would happen. Thus one month passed after the other and when the seventh month drew towt ards its end Sleeping Beauty awoke one night out of her enchanted slumber with a loud cry. Alas! what had happened? Had an in- visible fairy prince come into the room? Alas! no. A plain old kissing bug had alighted on the lips of the pretty sleeper and with the stinging kiss of his proboscis aroused the beauty, who was suffering from a badly swollen lip. After that adventure had turned out so prosaically, Sleepinz Beauty lost more and more the regard of her friends, and even the admiration of her love-blinded parents, and in the end she had to marry wan tto remain an old maid till the end of her days. - And the moral of this tale? Well, 8. C. S., it is very simple. In a book a sleeping beauty is quite attractive, but in real life even a heauty has nowadays to be wide awake if she wants to gain that happiness and contentment without which even beauty itself is but a poor and valueless thing. SILVERLOCKS NO. 2. - POTATO COCOANUT CANDY. Social Corner Sisters: Received at the postoffice early Tuesday morning.

Corner Members: I would love to tell you a version by Madame ¥ if I possibly can remember it. ‘There was once upon a time a very pretty girl with hair like gold, eyes like the beautiful violets (dark) and a kissable mouth. Oh, so sweet a mouth néver gréw. And this girl was a daughter of very poor people who had to work hard to give her luxury her young préttiness demand- ed. She despised work (we will call this girl Betty) and loved to dream and to sleep, and her neighbord called her. half in jest and half in scorn, “The Sleeping Beauty.” The deveted mother did not resent such idleness. She used to boast that her 'daughter did not even know how to make a bed or cook an egg, and that all she MEETING OF CLUB NO, 2.

Hoosit and T Like It: It certainly was a treat to have your company, also “little Hoosil.”" You must come and bring her aguin so she can get better acquaint- ed_with the sisters.

You all know this Fate. She's a sly old lady, and if she wishes to play a trick on you, heither all your cleverness nor your caré will help.

Dear Social Corneritesc I think every time there is a Social Comuer picnie I will surely go, but have been unable to do so, but I hope 1 can soon be with you. We have had a great deal of compasy and some sickness in the family. With Christ- mas doings going on and then New Year's coming along it seems so my days are full. We had a lovely time at dur Christ- mas tree. Every one, big and little, was remembered in the family, and many out- side. Uncles, aunts and cousins were here from many different places. Now I wonder if 1 shall ever find “Mrs. Suze.” She sent me another card describ- ing myself very well, but for the life of me I cannot place her. But some day we will meet, I'm sure. I received a very pretty calendar today through the mail from a Social Cofner member, whoever it may, be. I thank them very much for 8o remembering me. I'm going to send a new recipe, at least it is to me, for macargons that can be made casily at home, and they are very nice. 1 don't like sweet stuff myself, in fact 1 hardly ever taste of candy, but I did like these. 4 Take two cups cormflakes, small cup sugar, whites of two eggs beaten stiff, one” cup shredded cocoanut, a tablespoon milk. Mix thoroughly, drop in pieces as big as a walnut far apart in dripping pan. Bake in oven until brown. » Sisters, do try these. Best wishes to all. MA OF GREENE GABLES. FIRST ¥EW MEMBER OF YEAR.

If we need proof of this seem- ken. statement we have only . Note the familiés 10 whom riches have bern suddesly brought. Look at the thousands who have hién earning larger sums than éver before. See the thousahds purchasing luxuries who in former days «ven found &mhe of the ne- cessities beyand reach. Everybody happy in consequence? All content and peace and delightful har- mony?
