Dear Friends of the Social Corner: Never more surprised in my life than to resd in The Bulietin of Dec. 31 that Cretis has won & prize of one hundred cents. How can I use it to best advan- tage? Shail I buy Sunshine tablets, buy Stamps or go on a trip to ses congenial friends. My frst meet at Frankhn hail sur- prised me, since I found so many I knew | that 1 di4 not know belonged.

Do you sis- ters think borrowers assume or mgtural- Iy have this indifferent feeling? I re- turned them promptly to keep my repu- attion good. The second time I did not o until after dinner. I took a pair of my son’'s hose to darn, and an unknown member said to me: “Oh, I have such big'| holes In the heels.” Now I never mend- | ed men's hosiery before I was married, and then rubber boots or the stockings worn on the feet ihside gave me a fob, aud we used to turn in both edges to paiches, and I did so—until the younger son T our family informed me he did not like a “hunk” in the heel. Did you ever spend your precious time for others for which there seemed to be a lack of ap- preciation shown? Well, shoes, rubbers and hoslery were quite an item in 2 smail | family, so I began to think. I put a thinner plece of stocking over the heel and hemmed both edges down raw ed, d prolonged the use of the article unt her pay day. The ome with the| I saved especlally for the gum to grind out.

THE INDIAN BASKET MAKERS. | Editar and Social Corner Member: Now that the holidays are over and we Rre all settling down to our usual tesks Bgain we may find it equally as hard to keep the new resolutions we most all imake, as it Was to gelect Christmas gifts that would be suitable for thesa Iwe Wished to remember. 1 see thers has been quite a number of replies to Pers i inquiry about the Indlan basket makers. If this has not lost its interast I wili say I still have baskets made by them and that I have good reason for remembering them. I was a smail child mnd at that time they were living in a msmall shack on the banks of the She- gucket river working at their basket- making. One cold night Mary appsared At the door, asking my mother for pork, potatoes, etc. While my mother was Gathering the thimgs together Mary sat by the fire and commenced telling stor- fles which my ststor and I were quite in- fterested in and moved our small chairs wery near to listen.

Tl BEMEMEEANCES OF GONE BY. Dear Social Corner Sisters: How fast the years come and go, and as we are entering upon a mew year I am wishing you sisters and our editor a year of health and prosperity. Though a num- ber of our oider members have passed on the past year, I trust in this year 192 the ranks of the Social Corner will be replets. Many times my mind goes back to bygone years. I well remember when Tidy Addly became = member of The Corner. A number of us were invited to her home in Willimantic and she was then made a member. Though we miss all these oid members who have left the ranks of The Corner, our loss is thelr gain, “For we have this treasurs in earthen veasels that the power may be of God and not of us.” In glancing over the letters of The Corner I noticed one of the sisters wrote about the pleasure she used to have in her young years at grandma’s. In her description of the lovely things grandma cooked and although there were no mod. ern privileges such as we have at the present tims, the -modern improvements we have and manner of dress are in many ways more comfortsblo. I think the walking length for dresses is & great improvement to the ones worn years ago THE DAYS when the long trails had to be thrown | over the arm or caught up by the band, | and I have seen them so long s to be catchtng the Girt on the strest. But as the sister writes, in grandma’s time they | were frugal, laying in store in the cellar enough for winter's use. Apples not good enough for atoring Were made into cider, 10 become sour far vinegar. I remember the ten gallon keg wWhich stood in the attlo—a Warm place—and a portion of cider wes addel from time to time to keep the vinegar suppled, and it was vinegar. You cannot purchase such at tho giores at the present time The fireplace whh the tin oven. Ob, bow nice grandme’'s pumpkin ples used to be baked in a square tin before the fBrephace. I aiways wanted the end piece. Just before Thanksgiving my mother would heat ithe brick oven and fato it would go mince ples, puddings, raised cake, turkey, and the ples Iasted to be used as needed, as mother took them up- stairs into a very cold place. She had 8 very long handled shovel with flat blade on purpose for the brick oven which she used for turning food around and putting in and taking the food out. Next came the stoves. and 1 wish I could descride them. One I have in mind ; it was called a Rotary. The top of the stove had cogs and with a sort of handle you could turn the top of it. For In- stance, If there was something on the back of the stove and you wished to bring it Girectly over the fire, you mere- ly turned the top of the stove around. The elevated oven stove was odd, you she had changed her address.| would think. This was heated by twe small pipes some thres feet high coming direct from the stove. The oven, which ‘was oblong, stood on these pipes. The oven was sheet iron, being lined, ard had a grate. Besides being a good baker it also gave ont good heat for the room. The kitchen stove was as curious, the front receptacle being large enough to put in & brass kettle holding four pafls of water. Other sisters may remember ald usages. With a hand-shake for sisters and ed- itor at the beginning of this year 1922. TROTTIE. FINE TIME AT CHRISTMAS PARTY, Dear Bditor and All Corner Sisters Wish you @ happy New Year. I will drop in and say that it being the busy season of the year and through misunderstand- ing I hegleoted to write up about our gathering of Club No. 1 at Franklin hail on Dec. 14, So if mot too kate will do 80 now. The weafher man favored us With a clear-and beautiful day, ex@ tne: was 8 good gathering. 1 think there were 65 present, and we all enjoyed an- othier good time as usual together. The- | oda and her heipers, Golden Rod, Olive, | Nutmeg, Debby, Whits Clover and the ! others, 1 Gid not get thelr names, did their part in giving us the pleasant time. It was the Christmas season, and thé tables were decorated with pretilly trimmed Christmas tress, and thon wa bad 25 usual our Christmas bexes, which wero enjoved by all, as each sister re- ceived a pregemt. Alfara had so many Dbeautttul pleces of work which she had made, I think she must have had to sit up iate nights to do €0 much in the famcy line. With her. other work sho cannot be 1dle much of the time. Now, 85 they say, better late than nevar, I hope Theo- da and the rest will excuse me for not sending this in befors, for we all had » nice time on that day, and we hove we will have mice weather and goed travy ing 8o we all maey have other good times. | Now I wish to thank & Soolal Corner | Member for the pretty calendar which 1{ recatved today. 1 am very pleased with | it and have hung !t right where I can ses| 1t often when I am at my work, Hoping this year may be a prosperous ome for all Cormer sisters, I will slgn myself as ever, Corner Sister, C.
