PAULA [ ara— THE WHY OF A HOME e:.—nu: I I&k‘.&; D, no & home—and covered B 1 man race has mever defined satisfactor- ily—Why and If. What made the cliff dwellers have homes or the cave folks? It was an inbora insalubrity to be above the wild beast. There will always be war and strife in too familiar association. The brute will kill and rule. Thus we build strong with wood, stone, etc, to protect our young and kind. Thie build- ing we call home. The rude tent days will not fill our present meeds. Illness and elements, vulgar eyes, ever limited space make homes necessary. We wear little more than mother Eve did, but we have been refined by suffering, increased Inquisition and improved conditions. The door of Noah's Ark has been opened. We coexist no more from necessity. Why ecach blade of grass by its own root? Why, oh, why each little flower that opens and the birds care to sing? Ask of the winds that blow, I would more on this matter. T am old and out of date, weary and dull. Each generation shall grow more wise we are told, can we gone-bys grasp the new theorem?. I am a home lover, LET HOPING FOE ANOTHER GATHERING Dear Social Cornerites: I would like to drop in for just a few minutes and have my say now. read all the good sisters' letters, telling of the delightful time they had the 27th, also what royal entertainers the good man and myself were. Now please do not get the impression that the good time all depended on us for it was very easy to see that everyone was out for a good time that day and willing to do thelr share in both work and fun and they surely did it (thank you), 5o the day passed only too quick- ly and it will always remain a yellow day in our memory. I hope to have you mest here again some time. On May 4th a sister and myself spent a very pleasant and profitable day at the Buckingham Memorial. The fancy work display was very interesting and I received several new ideas from it. Hope to visit with Clubs No, 1 and 3 some- time during the summer. 1492: Your selection of a penname is 0. K. Sorry you could not meet with us the 27th and get acquainted. Smgle and Blessed: It fits you all right. Glad you made a change. If 1 mistake not I think I know two Just Me's, Nixi derberry twisted? Yours for the good of the Corner. TWICH TWENTY. Was it the grap juice or el- julce or both that got you SORRY FOR THE MIXUP Dear Soclal Corne, Editor: Somehow there seems to have been a grand mixup in names. In last week's Social Corner was a letter which I sent to you the week after Twice Twenty's party. In- stead of having my name signed, it was signed “Bug.” Now, “Bug” would never allow herself to write such a nonsensical plece and I can imagine she might justly feel quite peeved. I've had the name of Nixie for a number of years and it seems more homelike. Besides do not approve of duplicate names and am So,- ry to have made 8o much confusion. So much has been written as regards crowding out “ads” Did it ever occur to anyone that the Bditor kindly prints our letters free gratis while for the “ads” he recelves pay. It scems to me only right he should insert them where it seems best. I don't think he has ever intentionally omitted any Social Corner letters by so doing ms he has type which will spell “continued” when necessary. He ought to receive bonus for printing them in euch a conspicpous place and T for one hopes he does. Have often won- dered of The Bulletin w the first paper to advocate “free speec among, women. It's quite some years anyway since they began the Social Corner. For the m however, I'm really sorry and beg F pardon. NIXIE B, CLUB MEETING WAS A SUCCESS. Dear Soclal Cormer Sisters: Now the fine weather !s coming on I expect all of us with gardeng will be very busy. What o fine gathering there was at the Buck- ingham Memorial last month. I*like to meet the new sisters and get acquainted With them, but oh, so hard to remember after the meeting who is who. I often wonder what has become of Delight. Tt Is & long time since she has met with Really she cannot know what she bas been missing. 1 started carly ag I was to be one of the hostesses and not knowing whether we would have daylight eaving or stand- ard time. At least I called 1t early (9.20 standard time) when lo and hehold, the first one I saw When I entered the room was Ma Price. MId Clover had the tables out, so we began to work at once. T hope next time things will got more settled as to tho time. It certain- ly was a mixed-up affair. I wish to thank those who so kindly remembered me by cards on my birth- day. Bob White, Deliah Deal, Bonnic and Smiles, Smiles being a new sister, 1 was greatly surprised to recelve a card from her. Evelyn Burr: Was pleased to meet you and hope you will come again. Come early next time, Bob White, Marizold and Betsey Rra: Is it not about time we heard something from you? I still have my lemon on the tres. To- ward the window It s quite yellow but the inside is very green. There are two other preen ones on the tree. I hardly think they will mature ag I cannot put it out of doors quite yet. It certainly has been a great novelty for passersby. Marigold: T admired your new home very much. T think I could content my- self on just such a place. What a niee time we had that day, Mr. Necia and myselt. 1 imacine you Wil see us agein before the summer f8 gone. Was surprised to see vou all on Saturday. Wishing the Corner success, as ever SISTER NECIA. REMEDIES FOR WAKEFULNESS. Dear Siaters of the Soclal Corner: With many of us we find it dificult to fall asleep soon after retiring for the night, and apparently seem to know of no good reason why we keep awake for some time following. Of courso there are various causes for wakefulness when the health Is not up to normal cndl- tions, but without enumeration,. the rem.- edy to induce sleep is what we most de- sire. Many people dislike to take tah- lets to fores sleep that way, but other simple treatments may prove the desired results without any possfble harm. Perhaps many do try a treatment which I wish to speak of, knowing by experience its merits. 1If, after a while, ¥ou cannot sleep on going to bed, get up and take a thick piece of cloth, such as a towel, or light weight flannel and wring it out with elther cold or warm water, then as you lle down again, fold the damp plees back of your neck at base of bratn. Place a thick towel or any guitable cloth, on the npillow to prevent. wetting, threush. This simple treatment is very quieting and sleep will soon follow. Another good remedy Is to bathe the pulse with water, some pre. fer warm instead of cold, but either sults me. Hope these simple sugeestions may help someone who may need them, to find their sleep, as T have often proved them reliable, Best wishes to afl, JENNTE. GREETINGS FROM SNOWFLAKE Ne, 2, Dear Friends of the Soctal Cornaey, Ae PVLAS l No doubt you have, 'WORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, WAY 21, 1821 the true time onmce more and 2 msorry for those who are forced to do otherwise. I say let the business man open his office and store and hour earjier of he wants to and close when he pleas- s without forcing the people in general who are obliged to arise early anyway, to do so an hour earlier than they need to. 1 wish to thank all the sisters who re- menthered me on my birthday by let- tems, cards, etc. I surely appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness of me. I also give a hand of welcome to all the new sisters and extend my sympathy to all those who have been sick or have parted with a loved one. I am very sorry Etta Barber to know that you'are poorly but remember yout friends and Corner sisters will think of you often and hope that you will soon be better. Although I have been poorly I have enfoyed reading of the many good times that the different clubs have had. T pre- syme next month the outdcgr plenies will begin and I would wish you could all at- tend. What a gathering that would be as our family has greatly increased in size. Best wishes to each one. I have written but once, and then very! briefly, I feel the spirit move to try my hand omce more. Now I have menced it carries me back to my child- hood days, sitting by my dear grand- mother's slde, trying to write my first letter when I would say, “Now, grand- ma, what will I say next. I read with pleasure in last Saturday’s Bulletin that I was missed at the last meeting. I think I read it more than once to be sure if was really me. Thanks Wurdy Belle. I think I have you all right. Did you attend the Maybasket party given by the P. of H. last Wednesday even- ing? 1 was away from home. Hubby and T skipped (not our boird bill) but out of town for a few days. And as he has not left the old farm in a long time, all will agree that the “captain” (that is a name a neighbor always uses) ought to have a day off. We journeyed by auto for hours, enjoying the beauti- ful scenery, passing through the lovely, town of Farmington where Grover Cleve- land’s sister lives and so on all the way reaching our destination about dark. It rained every day we were gone but there. was sunshine in our souls, which is the one need in this old world. Wel here I am rambling on and if I dom't stop the editor will certainly: put this out instead of in the Social Cormer page. Hoping to .meet with you all at the next gathering, will close. 2 SNOWFLAKE No. 2. SUNSHINE No. ® CHANGES NAME. Dear Corner Editor and Sisters: This weather Is too good to miss. I hope you are all enjoying it while it lasts. Nannie Lou and Student: Looked for you at Willimantic. Where did you keep yourselves all day? Good Iuek and best wishes. TWILIGHT. DIANA SOME GOOD PUDDINGS. Dear Cornerites: Perhaps othérs in the Corner are as partial as I am to pud- dings. They are preferable in my case to Ples and I mever tire of them. There are of course likes and dislikes regarding DPuddings as anything else, but farina pudding with fruit sauce you can safely set-before your most exacting guest. To make 1t, boil one quart of milk, Pour in ten ounces af {fariha, cook for 25 minntes. Add two pinches of salt, two ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter, mix well and let stand for ten minutes. Then add eight raw egg volks and six raw egg Whites whipped to a SHIf froth. When well mixed fill in but- tered molds, three-quarters full. Cook in a bain-marie 40 to 45 minutes, Serve with fruit sauce. Fruit: Sauce—Dilute one pint of jam or fruit juice in same quantity of light syrup. " Boil and strain into an- other pan. Cut into small squares va- rious kinds of preserved or fresh fruits. Add this to the sauce and boil again. If too liquid- thicken with a little corn- starch. Strawberry Cottage Pudding: Make an ordinary one-egz loaf cake, slice it into individual pertions to serve while still hot, and over each portion pour the followlng sauce: Cream one heaping ta- blespoon butter, add one-half cup po dered sugar and the stiffly-beaten white of one egg; beat all together until very light, then add one cup of mashed straw- berries with their juice. I have been watching to see it some one would send in their way of mak- ing meringue. for lemon ples. I cannot eem to get good results. PUSSY WILLOW. THE DAY AT TWICE TWENTY'S. Dear Social Corner Friends: I am sure all of the No. 4 club had a delightful day at Twice Twenty's, and I knew that we would, she heing such a jolly body, and especigfly when she sees “stars.” T think that Nixie must have sat opposite me at the dinner table, and it was very fortunate that Bee True gave her the string bag to carry before dinmer in- stead of after, as I do not think it would have been possible then and how we all were to receive a lost bum. P oe e Candy Girl got her party safely home, even if they were slightly crowded. The Putnam bunch arrived home safely, some by trolley, and some by jitney. Hope I can meet all the good sisters in the near future. We may formet, without regret, Soma friends, as time goes by, But friends like you I can't forget, And ain't a-going to try. CURT. DANDELIONS AND OTHER THINGS Dear Sisters of the Cormer: Probably you are all making the most of the op- portunity now aticrded to get dgndelions. lverybody knows that dandelio are Ai‘l. licious, but few housekcepers realize that milkweed, “pusley’—the pest of _the rdener, sorrel, plantain, cowslip, mus- fird and other weeds may be made into & luncheon or supper dish of great merit. These 1 feel you will find worth try- 1B} el Soup: One cup finely chopped sorrel, 2 tablespoons butter, 1-2 (caspoc?n sugar, 1-2 teaspoon vinegar, 1 lmsp?"{ salt, 2 cups white stock, 1-2 cup thick white sauce, 1 cup rich milk, 2 yolks of S Vash sorrel and chop. Melt butter, add sorrel and cook five minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add sugar, BAR aud vinegar and 2 cups of boiling water. Siramer 30 minutes and rub through a sieve.

Mix equal portions of greens and cottage cheese. Make into small balls and dust with paprika. Put in a cold place to become firm. Serve with 2 tart boiled salad dressing on a lettuce leaf. Regards to all the Corner members. CENTURY PLANT LIVE TO MEAN SOMETHING BIG AND REAL Sisters of the Corner: I wamt to re- ply to 1. W. A. and say I do not think you have a leakage of the heart. If you did you would feel pretty weak. I think your nerves are at the boitom of that rapid beating you secem to experience. Mine has had the same feeling at times. Do not sleep with your arm over your head, I often say that your nerves chioroform you and then look out yow'l have the “blues’ and every thing else. Now the high blood pressure 1 would not worry about as it is not dangerous. Iat as little meat as possible, drink one small tumbler of buttermilk nizht.and morning, keep your bowels open and as Janette says, live so that you mean something big, something real in anoth- er's life! That's the whole story. Throw your interest, your time, your effort into making a life for somebody, forgetting your own hopes, your own am- bitions (or at least, sefting them aside that some others dreamers may dream a big dream true) and vouw'll find the Spring from which bubble the waters of lasting youth. Go after the real thing the sinking of yourself in the current of other lives, and then the years will be kind; the heart of youth will stay alive within your own breast; and the soul of you (which is really you) when wou stand “naked In the market place” wil learn that “years following years steal something cvery day. At least they steal us from ourselves away.” T would prefer to have sent this to you personally, but as vou requested it for the Corner I comply with your wishes. KITTY LOU MEMBERS SHOULD WRITE AND SHOW THEY ARE MEMBERS. Dear Editor and Sisters: Pollyanna No. 2 is responsible for my writing this letter and I have been trying to find time for it ever since the April meeting of Club No. 1. T understood her to say that when she signed Pollyanna to her first letter that she did not kmow that there had ever been another of that name in the Cormer, and it does not seem to me that she is much ta blams for that, as the first Pollyanna has wot written for four or five yaars, unless 1 am much mistaken. Now it seems to me that every member ought to write, at least onee a vear. to keep their name on the ediior's Do but if any member falls to write for several years, and a new writer hanpens to choose her name, then, inst2ad of printing it as No. 2, let the editor say in @ note under the letter that one by that name is alveady registeced, bur it the first one wishes to continuiec a mem- ber under that name she should write ‘Wwithin a month to say so, or, failing to do so, the new member would be allowed to retain the name. Also, when the Corner lost fts first member by death, some one, Rural De- livery, I think, said he hoped that no one would ever use her name again, but with new members coming in all the time, most of them have not known the ones that have ‘gone, and I do ot see why they may not use the pen names that can not bz used again By the ones that first signed them. I wonder what has hecome of X. Y. Z., Valentine, Enid and Hannah Who? Wish they would write again. BETSY BOBBITT. DOESN'T WANT TOO NARROW A N RULE. Dear ditor and Social Corner Sisters: I thought I would let you know I am still on earth and love you as dearly as ever. Delight: Where art thou? Tola: I, too, have foad remembrances of Westminster and Gay Heal Marigold: How Ao you enjoy living on the farm? Grandma H.: So pleased t7 hear®you have a way of getting out to the meet- ings. Ella Lou: Guess you don't write any oftener than I do. What say we busy and do better in the future? Bob White: I always enjoy reading your letters. Merry Farmer Boy and H, M. L: Was so pleased to see in vour letters how kindly you sugzested that eack sister Dbring a friend to Club No. 3's gathering May 18th at Lebanon Grange hall. 1 think you express the true Social Cer- her spirit and am sure that clubs 1, 3 and 4 heartily will endorse your senti- ments. Calla Lfly: I was gricved when I read your letter. DId you voice the wish of Club No. 2 or oniy that of the stand- inz committee. Really it sounded a hit selfish _instead of soclal. Am sure after the efficient way dinner was served on May 4th, you should not lack assist- ants. Surely you can find some at cvery meeting who will help as there are al- ways willing hands. It s to> mueh to ask the same ones cvery time. O course we all feel the Social Corner @inners are not for the public, but feel a sister has some rights, Where would we got our lovely new members if we followed so | narrow a rule? With best wishes for the Corner. DOROTHY PERKNYS, NO. 2. PLENTY OF NAMES TO BE HAD. Dear Editor and Sisters: What's the reason that S0 many of these new sisters are having trouble finding a pen name that has mot already been appropriated? I heard ome say that it seemed as though all the names were taken. Cheer up, sisters, there’s a few left if you look for them. Some years ago Sunbonnet Sue (what's Dbecome of her?) sent in a list of suitable names. Don't believe they have all been used yet, and here are a few more that I don't remember seeing in the Corner: Susanna Soapsuds, Sally Ratus, or Sal E. Ratus (if _you like that form better), Miss Ann Thropy (for a cheerful person), Sis Opti-Mist (for a grouch), Ginger Pop, Ima Cornerite, Ima Bird, Ima Pippin, Ima Newone, Ima Nuther. My memory is poor, so please excuse me if I have included any sister's name in this last. A good many of the sisters, especially the older ones, have written under sev- eral pen names. I think now that most of us use only one pame, which is the best way. I am worndering if the editor has us registered under all these pen names? If he has, and he must because most of us have received cards, letters or checks under various names, through the Corner, 1 think it would be a good ides for us to write, telling what names we have et SUGGESTION REGARDING CLUB MEETINGS. ¥ Dear Corner Sisters: I was at the last club meeting held in Buckingham Me- morfal and had a fine time. I quite agree with Calla Lily as regards work done by the hostesses. Now I have a suggestion to make. Fow would it do for each ome after dinner to carry her own dishes away? It would certainly save many steps for those Who wait on the_tables. Great Grandma: I sa win The Bulle- tin about your birthday. That makes the holders made by you and given to Corner members prized very highly. Mine is very pretty. Thank you. BETSEY TROTWOOD. ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL' SPRING Deat Editor @nd Corner Sisters: I presume you are all very busy cleaning, planting and so forth, but hope that you find time to go about and enjoy the beautiful spring and icenery, for I am enjoying the beautiful green carpet which is spread over the flelds and the massive huge bouquets of apple blossoms on the few trees within range of my windows, How much more there is for you to sec and enjoy those of you Who can walks or ride by the large orchards, and slea_anjoy Jooking at the many. earty flowers.

JOLLY TIME BY CLUB NO. 3. Dear Social Corner Editor and Sisters: Howdy! After such a long lapse I feel I must write a few lines. Have just returned from Club No. 3's. meeting in Lebanon. Such a Jjolly social time, with so many Qear sisters present, and such a delicious dinner. What more could one ask for? There were about 20 sisters from Club No. 1. All in all, it was a very happy and successful time. 1 missed some of the Lebanon friends and was sorry they could not come but hope 10 see them next time.

I work in an office and was invited by a member to come up and get my dinner. They serve a fine dinner at a little gost, so I came rather than lunch at @ restaurant.” I said:’ “Why, this is for club mem- bers only, and you must be & writer and have one letter published in The Bulletin and have a pen name hefore being eligible to cofe to dinner, or else ®e a personal guest in the home of & club member—so the rules say.” Of course, if there were not such rules the hostesses would be as busy serving tended the meeting at Twice ‘Twenty's. She is an ideal hostess and has an ideal husband, and the dearest heme. Every corner radiates comfort and welcome, And such a dinner, and th2 lovely new sisters we met that day!
