Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The Annual Memorial day of the American #oldiers’ has recently ' been observed.

KEEPING DOWN EXPENSES. | Dear Cornmer Folks: It is frequently contended by young emgaged people that two éan live as cheaply as one, and of courge we usnally put such a notion down 16 the irrationalness of leve and look wise and, say_that the theory is all wrong. One thing we cannot demy, however, is that it'in eheaper for two married folk to live together than for an ummarried wom- an and‘an unmarried man to live separ- ately., There are times when possibly it is cheaper for the two to live together than for the unmarried man to live alone. But of course that much depends on the sort of woman he marries. In days geme by it almost always was a matter of economy, as well as the result of love for a woman, that a man married. In bioneer and ocelonial days the man without a wife was handicapped. So many industries were carried on in have. in | 1f there is no longer anything new un- | One teaspoon of sugar added to codfish | x cloves in vegetable soup give it al| share his home with him, ‘about the only thing he could do was to attach himself to someone else’s home. 'The young man of those days did not so often ask himself ‘whether he could afford ‘to. marry, buf whether he could afford ot to. 'And young women apparently did not' resent having the men they wére engaged to look upon them as helpmeets indeed, who would be of real assistance in the day's work. ? And now the woman who is willing to start housekeeping in a small apartment or in a few rooms, or a small cottage, the woman: who has no extravagant ideas about starting out’in better circumstances than her mother did, the ‘woman with taste emough to make Some of her own clothes, the woman evem who does not balk, at the idea of putting up her hus- band’s midday lunch as well as preparing two other appetizing meals a day—this sort of woman is the sort who cuts the living expenses of two down to half. As some of my friends have found out, two can live much more eéonomically and happily- togetheér than alone, but it all de- pends on the willingness to try. CENTURY PLANT. STEAWBEREY PRESERVES. Dear Cornerites: Thit promises to be a big vear for the canners, with'sugar down to where one ‘dares td taste it’eccasion- ally. Also the indications are. zood for many strawberries. I want to give you a well tried recipe for strawberry pre- serves which calls for a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Place fruit and sugar together over a slow fire with no water. Do not mash in stirring. When the sugar is dissolved, boil fast for 30 minutes; remove fruit; place in jars; boil the syrup five minutes longer, then pour it over the berries and seal the jars. To make strawberry jam, boil mashed berries in their own juice until well re- duced. Then add one pound of sugar for cach pound of fruit, cooking down slowly until of the desired thickness. Lemon juice, pieplant or other tart fruit may be added. Fruit Cookies: Cream together one-half cup buiter and three-fourths cup. sugar; add one heaten egg, one-fourth teaspoon soda dissolved in three tablespoons sweet milk, and one and one-fourth cups of flour which have been sifted with one-hal? tea- spoon each of ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well, then stir in one- half cup of seeded raisins and one-fourth cup of dried currants, both of which have been put through a food chopper. This will make a very stift batter. Put on a Dbuttered pan in one-half teaspoons and bake for 20 minutes in a slow oven. This recipe makes two dozen and a half small cookies. Are there any members of The Corner | who can give me a recipe for marshmal- low cake? PUSSY WILLOW. DROP COOKIES. Dear Friends of The Corner: A cookie is not as delicious as a slce of cake when eaten by itself. but a cookie is every bit as good as a.slice of cake when eaten with a dish of fresh or stewed fruit. What could be more delicious than one of the following combinations: A cookie and sweetened strawberries; a cookie and sweetened stewed rhubarb; a cookie and stewed prunes; a cookie and apple sauce which has been sweetened and flavored with cinnamon; a cookie with sliced and sweetened bananas and oranges? The housekeener -should take this faet into consideration and serve cookie and fruit desserts and puddings, now that the warmer months will bring her fresh fruits of all kinds. . And what a rest it will be not to have to frost and fill layer cakes! Also what an economy. Drop cookies take a shorter time to make than roled cookies and are equally as delicious. Try some of the following: Ginger Drop (‘ookies:. Put in a mixing bowl one cup light brown sugar: stir in two-thirds cun of granulated sugir, one- haif cup cold water, ope beaten egg, two- thirds cup molasses, one large tablepoon nger and one heaping - teaspoon soda which has been sifted with three and one- half cups of flour. This will make a stift batter. Drop on buttered pans by heap- ing teasnoons one inch apart, and bake in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. This recipe makes two dozem and a half large cookies. Peanut Drop Cookies: Cream together | one-fourth cuw of butter and one-half cup | of sugar; adl two beaten eggs, one cup flour which has been sifted with one tea- spoon baking- powder -and - one-half tea- spoon salt, and last add three-fourths cup of shelied roasted peanuts which have been rather coarsely chomped.. Mix well and bake on a buttered cookie sheet for about 20 minutes in a medium oven. This recipe makes two dozen cookies. It should be dropped by teaspoons on the pan, one inch apart. FRED'S WIFE. OUR ANNUAL PICNIC AT REMEM- BER ME'S. Dear Corner Members: What a glori- jous day we had for our picnic! Leaving Norwich by the 9.45 trolley car, we start- ed for Remember Me's, picking up Stu- | dent. also Althea and several others along the way, and when we finally left the car there were 18 of uk. After a_delightful walk through the country, where we passed the schoolhouse and were greeted by the merry faces of the children, we came in s&ight of the house for which we were headed and | found on arriving that many were already | there, and they certainly were very cor- ! dial, I want to say before zoing any further that our thoughts were constantly with our absent sister Blosfom and our love and sympathy were and are with her. In order that all might have seats, benches were made from planks and wagon seats and automobile cushions added to the numerous chairs, and every { endeavor was made to make all com- | fortable. | 1 am pleased to say that I met a num- | ber of sisters whom I had never met be- fore, and feel that the word | the correct one. | Wurdy Bell: Where art thou? ¢ were among the missing. Am glad Pa and Inez could be with us, and they seemed to be enjoying them- selves, as usual. Marigold: Glad Only we missed vour guest. She should be a writer and continue one of us. What has happened to Little Spinster? We have not heard from her in a long time. Is it fot time she paid us a visit? We missed Calla Lily, Chickadee and others who had made up their minds to come. At 12 o'clock lunch was served with an | abundance of good things, and evervone | seemed hungry. Perhaps the delightful | walk was partly responsible. Cady: My prescription for you is to take a walk to Pleasure Hill every other day, and you will have a good appetite. What a pleastife to have such a change | from the Buckingham! It gives us some- thing new to think about. The air was fragrant with the odor of wild flowers and strawberries and the surrounding country Jooked beautiful. The smile of our hostess made one feel very much at home, and we all knew that she had at heart the interest of all for a good time. Hope many of the sisters after this nice picnic will be inspired to write. Nellie Bly: I advise you to look out for poison ivy. Be with us. With best wishes for The Corner.

Dear Friends of . The Corner: Some years ago our editor suggested letters of travel, so I will tell of an experience I had recently, as I would like a little in- formation on' the subject. With other friends' we visited relatives in Canterbury, | going by the way of Norwich and Plain- field, as there was a good state road all the way. While putting on our wraps| for. the return journey, one of the party | suggested we take a shorter route going back, and sAid there was a 'crossroad that would bring us out in Windham. I timidly mentioned we try that new way some time by daylight, but was silenced by one of the men folks replying: “Why. it is only 6 o'clock; we shall be nearing our home in Willimantic before it is very @ark.” (You know, even if we can, vote, ! they don’t thin® much of our advice at, such a time.) We followed the directions | nicely until we left Brooklyn. Soon things did ot look just right. The only tWo ! persons we met after that did not seem | to know much more about it than we did. | They both agreed there was a road some- where. They believed “there was a few miles of bad traveling but .they guessed we could get through all right. So, hoping to remember the’turns they | thought we should take, we went on again. Those crossroads were like a Chin puzle; they seemed to run in all direc-! tions. By the light of matches the guide- boards were consulted, but many of them were down or the directions obliterated. The houses grew few and far between, | many unoccupied or unlighted. By this | time it was very dark. ‘e wav grew | more narrow and there was mere and | more mud, as we had been having several | days of rain. Suddenly we saw a red light ahead. We found the road partly | closed with the danger signal. We c neither turn around nor back out, so aft, a careful investigation on foot by the !driver in we started. Chug—down went ! the wheels in a mudhole, first on one side, | then on the other, then on both sides, and | for miles we fully realized the “ups and | downs of life.” I knew if the engine and gasoline held out we &hould come out somewhere, but there were times I'll ad- mit 1 felt like saying “Now I lay m | down to sleep,” for the good of both body | | and soul. | T learned that night that my son had | probably inherited his mother’s fine dis- position. When I heard the :mud drip- | ping from the wheels of that brand new | Buick (that is the apple of his eye), and | not a word of protest, I was amazed. | Fortunately we met With neither team nor auto. As they havea't as yet perfected them to jump over, or crawl under, we might have had to wait for daylight be- fore passing. Finally we saw a group of lights to the left. Oh, ves, one of the party knew now where we were. We were coming into Windham by what is called the “hack road.” But alas, we came no nearer to them, and they soon disap- peared as we journeved on. The next we knew our road seemingly ended in some. one's dooryard; our repeated knocking failed to arouse anyone, and, remember- ing passing a lighted house on a hill back { from the road, we turned back and elimb- ed to their door, which flew open, and a man appeared with a lantern. He had been watching the gyrations of the head- lights in the valley below. To our in- quiry as to where we were he said: “You are in a part of Howard’s Valley, and the { nearest way home is through Hampton:” Did you ever when you drove old Dob- bin (before the days of autos) find your- self almost holding your breath and fair- 1y lifting yourself from the seat. uncon- sciously trying to lighten the load, as he toiled up a hard hill? That was the way T felt when we struck the state road. and I could settle fir in the seat w h a sigh of relief. We reached home about 10 o'clock. Now, will someone kindly tell me where we were wandering those four hours? The lady who suggested the shorter route pre- sented my son with a nice flashlight the next day. Diease metition for new guideboards if you know where we were. I thank the editor for the yellow slip that I found in my mail box last month. PRACTICAL POLLY. ANOTHER CORNER MEMBER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There are so many things I want to put into this letter, I don't know which to write first. But guess I'll write my thanks to all those who so thoughtfully remembered me | June 2d, with birthda cards—Primrose, Curt, Scottie, Smiles, Student, Bonie and one card marked From All—nothing else | on the address side. Who was it from? | The whole Social Corner band? On the other side was a pretty decoration and ! these words: “Birthday greetings—May vou live long and prosper.” Then T had a number of others, as w as gifts from friends outside the Social Corner, making it a very pleasant anniversary for me. Also 1 call the good time at the Buckinz- ham June 1st my birthday party, as it happened so near. What a good time we did have, and how all seemed to enjoy it! There was a large number present; just how many T am not sure. There were 55 seated at the first two tables each and 2 or 30 at the third one, and still plenty of zood things left—more than seven bas- kets of fragments, I feel sure—and all of | this found ready sale under Priscilla’s { well known ability. She just fills the bill. There were several who met with us! | for the first time and I trust enjoyed it so much they'll come many times more. I| have thought often since of Grandma from Moosup, whom I had a chance for auite a long visit with, and really fell in {love with her. You did not get overtired did you, Grandma? Next time you zo rough Jewett City give me a call. 1| shall be glad to renew the acquaintance. | I wish it had been so I could be with | you on the §th at Remember Me's, but | hardly could expect another good time so | soon. | Now I promised several T would send my recipe very soon to The Corrier for| uncooked fudge. | Uncooked Chocolate Fudge: pound of confectione whole eggs, stir until Into one| sugar break two smooth and ¢reamy, | then add one-fourth pound melted un- sweetened chocolate, one small teaspoon ! vanilla, a pinch of salt, one teacup of broken nut meats, or the same amount of secdless raisins.

Dandelion Salad: One cold boiled egs, one raw onion half the size of egg, shred- ed and mixed with any good salad dre ing. Pick young dandelion leaves, wash and pick up into small pieces and fill a| large saucer; sprinkle two teaspoons | vincgar, one teaspoon sugar, over them, then pile the salad on top and serve| while cold and brittle. Enough to serve two persons. Great Grandma: We all thought of you 12 o'clock June 1st, when we were singing the Doxology, of your singing it, too. with the thought of us, if not at the Buckingham.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I will say: £00d morning to all. What lovely weather we are having; so cool one feels just like work, and as there is always plenty to do it is well that we feel like doing it. I want to say that we certainly are having an interesting Social Corner page, with so many new letters that it keeps one guess- ing most of the time to know who they are. But we are always glad to welcome the new ones, as our older ones are going one by one, including many that were so dear to us all and who will be long re- membered. As veryone is trying to help each other in the line of cooking, I will send in a recipe for Spider Johnny Cake: Sift one cup of vellow meal, one-half cup of flour, two tablespoons.of sugar, two of butter, one cup of sour milk, one egg, one-half tea- spoon of soda and salt to taste.
