Monday ‘morming we went up to Greeneville to see the parade. It was rather warm, but the people did not seem to mind it, for they lined up on each side of the street and patiently waited for tha parade to come, It Wwas Certaimly worth seeing What a small place like Greeneville could do. Some of the oflats were beautiful, and some very funny. Especially the one with the placard, “We are moving the Norwich eourt house to Greenevilte. A MNttle house with a barrel tied on to ft. Then there was an automobile with the floor removed and a couple repre- Senting a bride and groom were walk- g in it. It was trimmed with long streamers, old shoes, amnd lots of other things i'ed on to it and & great placard, “We are just married. I have neither time nor space to menmtioa all of the show, but there was one more I want to tell you about. A large wire cage with three little young rabbits were hud- dled up in one corner and in the other snd of the cage sat a man with a gun ‘all'ready to fire at them. A large plac- ard read “Do not feed the keeper.” This is for the benefit of those who did mot see it, or read about it in the paper. It certainly was well worth going to see. Monday afternoon We attended a church Fourth of July picnic and had a fine time, ate three large pieces of pie and three plates of ice cream and an- other about nine in the evening. Wednesday 1 met with the Cornerites at the Buckingham Memorial. There were about 70 present and we had a wonderfully good time. The tables were loaded with the good things the sisters provided. We all brought our appetites with us and made it manifest by the usual signs. After the tables were clear- ed there was music, both yocal and in- strumental, followed by dancing which was a scream from begimning to finish. After that came recitations and readings which, judging from the applause they received, were fully appreciated. Well, [ have told all I know, so Will close by a wish that you all enjoyed the Fourth of July as well as I did. Good wishes for The Corner from DOM PEDRO. d ¥i CARING FOR THE LITTLE ONES. To the Social Corner: Two Social Cor- ner pages I have enjoyed in bed in com- vany with a small daughter, clipping the recipes to try later. Our babies have both been breast-fed but the water bottles have been a great help in keepfng them comfy. First has been the bottle of boiled drinking water that they have taken daiiy from the first through a - rubber nipple. There are always wakeful times when the water, fairly warm, soothes and satisfies. When it becomes nedessary to give food in ad- ditlon or substitution for breast milk of is le a when the child becomes accustomed to using a bottle in this way. The othes comfort has been the hot water bottle at the feet, if they are at all cool, as a sound sleep-inducer. We also believe in extra help for the mother of small children to the extent of the family means in washings, cleaning sewing and food preparation. In the | country we do mot find it ko very expen- e to live simply as to food and cloth- ing and to enjoy normal heaith and com- panfonship with the babies.

KTTY BETTERNG CONDITIONS ON - THE FARM ple who have the conveniences of water in their homes 4o not realize the biessing unless tRey should mve whers it must be brought from a well, Spring or brook. ‘Water is one of the first factors to be learned when seeking a home to find out if it is samitary. Generally on the farm it is the man’s task to keep the pail and with the numerous other Aut hours and cares life becomes a Dbusy round of duties. If men were compelicd to supply the water they woull manage some way to better the ions. Rain barrels are all right if rain comes often {o keep them filied, but wihen dry weather is prolonged then i mast be bmught from some distance if the well goes dry. Cement cisterns are not very expensive and would tide over the trouble. There are many ways of making the wol easier on the farm through the system of water supply. . It is an element that is required in large quantities for laumdry and dairy work. As a general thing, prosperous and up- to-date farmers have water brought to wo- lights, telephomes, automobiles and the young people can get in touch with the outside world and bave less desire to rush off to the cities to find employment and amusement. The taste for reading books, magazines and paper are 'BOW brought to those in the country and they are good friends that enrich the heart and mind. The farm is ideal for the chitdren quite different from cities where remters are compelled to seek homes with much trouble because of the little ones. ith good calculation the farm is to be preferred to the city, comoaring con- ditions for the ast four years as th rents went skywards.

They were assisted by some. of -the other members. A little after noon about 60 sat down to two with the usual good things We always find at the Social Corner gatherings, one thing being some of Ella Leu's baked beans—the best drink we had lemonade, which weat right to the spot, as the day was very hot. / Much credit for the success of the pic- nic was due to Bila Lou's put up the tables, brought settees the town hall and furnished fes for the lemonade.

IN THE KITCHEN ON HOT DAYS. Dear Friends of the Cornmer: Simp!al desserts are particuarly desirable in summer. v on it js folly to spend hours in the Rich cakes and pastries have no affinity for hot weather. Choice fruit in its natural form .should be the regular standby, the cooked des- sert the exveption. The simplest of cot- tage or bread puddings. even a plain muffin, may be glorified by serving with a froit sauce. A quarter of a cup of Dbuitér or margarine is well creamed then a cup of powdered sugar beaten in, and just before serving a scant cun of ripe berries are gradually added. This 1s exceedingly mood with crisn, hot pOp- overs, but, that means a hot oven on a cool 8ay. In the early morning a glass or two of jam can often be made withiout any special effort, and with little fuel. With a shalow illuminum saucepan the cook- ing takes only a short time, and with gas turned low there is no danger of scorching. Measure three-quarters the amount of sugar as of fruit, and cook the berries 2 little while before adding the sugar, as long cooking of sugar darkens the product. When the whole mixture has thickened well pour inko sterillzed glasses and cover with scald-! ing hot paraffin when cool. It is not enough to simply melt the paraffin. Odorous fruits, such as bananas and melons, should never zo into the refrig- erator without wrapping. or other foods will receive the flavors. Paper bags pro- tect the fruit perfectly and vet allow of nroper chilling. Watch all fruits care- fully for spoilage. Tradition lays lots of damage to green annles and other green fruit, but it is the overripe fruit that really is dangerous. A delicious and simple cake consists of one-fo-~th cup of the Juige of strawb:ries osting rained or raspberr tablespoon of melted butter and con thick tioners' sugar stirred in untfl enough to spread. It becomes quickly, cuts smoothly, has a lovels or and is equally gpod on sponge ar butter cakes or to cover split lady fin- gere. Orange juice, with a bit of grated rind and a little lemon, can be used in the same way for a auick lcing: this keeps well, espeeially if put into a tin box on a high shelf. NORMA. NEED THE SAME HAPPY MOTHERS AND HOMEMAKERS. Dear ditor: Mayv I be enrolled as a member of the Social Corner? All last week I kept thin cla’s one-sided letter and was glad to See the members did not agree with her. I think with Mercia that there arg many jll-assorted marriages, and un- ¥ind husbands, but I also insist that there are as many, if not more happy marriages and kind husbands. Unmarried, professional women have their place in the world, but I'm inclin- ed to think the influence of the saime, happy mothers and homemakers is not to be overlooked. My husband and I have been alome! { the past few weeks and I've been tak- ing my vacation by letting all the house- work possible care for itself, reduced cooking to a2 minimum by patronizing the bakery, and delicatessen shops. I have had such a good time doing what I wanted to that now I'm ready to go back to regular routine. 5 Some time ago ome of the members said *one is as old as they look.” My thecry is “one is as old as they feel” Though I do not feel more than twics twenty, T am golng to go “Twice Twen- ty” ten better and sign myself FRANKLY SOME GOOD CANNING AND PIOK- LING RECIPES.
