ETHELYN. OLD FADS AND FANCIE! Déar Sisters and Readers:: The sub- ject of fads and faneles of the - past, sesms to lkeep mp in intersst on the Cotner page. Iola has hrought to the light of memory many things that have been forgotten, also. Sister Wrinkles has emphasized the fapt. Now, it there is space for a fow lfnés more on this topic I would like to speak a Jittle ore about the album qutlf. When I jas about ten to twélve vedrs old, I was a meém- ber of the juvenfle temperance gocfely called tHe Band of Hope. Our president nd vice president were two enthusiastic ladiés, who gave a great deal of time for this worthy causs, o interest chi drén. We used to hold meetings O Saturday afternoons and a very ni littie _servico, comsisting of respon: readings between the president and theé youthfal members, all Tepeating the tem- perance pledge; ' &inging _ appropriate songs, etc) After this form of the programme was finished, then any mem- ber who had a “plece to speak” or a lit- tle song was invited to do so. At the conclusion of these exercises we held a Uttle social time where we became more acquainted with each other personally, Qur leaders were always planning some- thing to keep up the interest and attend- ance, We used to hold a “fair” once in a while and thit made a good tfme. Im the summer time we would have a big plenie, and in the winter time a big sleigh ride party. Various methods were used to promote “unity,” and success for our Band of Hops and I am sure the efforts were mot in vain. We were urged to be always on the lookout for néw members and at one particular timé 4 prize was offered to the member who should bring the largest number within a six months’ limit. At the same time of this announcement, we were asked to bring to our president pleces of calo or_gingham, enough to make a block for a patchwork qullt. This request was re- sponded to by many, the blocks were dti- I¥ cut out and then dt our soclal period | following tegular meotings, tho. “girls” took a hand at sewing the blocks to- gether, while the “boys” were excused. These blocks were so arranged that a quare white pece wds in the center, and our fiames weré written {Hereon. But T shall never forget how disippointed T was that dae to gome mistake, my name was put on the wrong hlock, other than the materfal I had donated. But to make a long story short it was a ve pretty “album” quilt when all put to- gether with & Blue zround werk, During the petiod of contest for the membershin drive it was kept a secret who was in the lead, o mot until fhe day of an- nNouncement d!4 we know who had won the prize.

Well, I was a happy Tittle girl, T assure you, and I prized my tréasure very highly. It was Interest- ing to me years later to read those names and recall so many hours of pleasant {associations. T often think now, how faithtul those two ladies were, our pres- Ment and viee president, to give their time and interest to this children's so- clety thdt it might lead our minds in the right direction, to uphold the tem- perence cause, all homer to our Band of Hope. JENNIE. REWARD FOR HONESTY. Dear Cornerites: As I have not had a letter In the Corner for some time I thought ‘of writing when I read an item In The Bulletin today that rsfrashed my memory on one subject, ‘“Honest: It was about a twelve year old girl that I have been reading, Her home is in New York, and after finding $200 that had bdeen lost by a certain person, de- livered the package to the woman as récefved twenty-five cents reward. courss it was very honest of the to return the money if she knew whom the money belonged to, but the smaliness of the person to offer so small a re- ward, 1 am wondering if that woman would haye béen as honest as - this twelve-year-old gir] had been, if she had been pit in the position as the girl and had any idea that sme would run.the chance of being rewarded by only 25 cents.

BLANCHE SPRINGFIELD'S NEW BRIDGE. Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: The celebeating of the new: Hampden county memorial bridge in Springfield last week' &hows a great marvel in modern ma- chinery and achfevement in progress. This takes the plice of travel across the Connectfcut rivér at the center of the city between this city and West Springfield and towns on both sides of the- stream. which for the past century has beén by the old toll beidge which has now passed its lorig years of faithful service. | This briage was built first In 1805, but wis washed dway in 1814 by flood and fce. It was claimed that the heavily laden army wagons, rushing: down to the bridge and across in the war of 1612 did Tuch”to weaken the bridge. The second bridge Wwas then buiit and opened Oct. 1, 1816, But in spite of kil in building it could not stand ‘the freshet of March, 1818, the ice wrecking a1l but three spans. The bridge was restored in 1520 and has survived numerous fioods, including the gredteést of them .all in 1854. Many of the timbers today are as sound as when put in. Some of thess being hewn by hand and floated dows (ne river from the White mountains. This cost about $24,000, while the ome just dedicated, the past week was in the millions. It there is anything that the present generation has to be proud of. it is the craftsmanship of ‘the old- toll bridge. They knew nothing of the Zutomoblle or othér modern modes of transportation when that was bullt. They wére familiar with“the ox cart, the cumbérsome farm wagon. Over it the farmers of West Springfield and Agawam , drove their loads of hay and other farm- products, The chiliren went to school and their elders to store and church. Over it went | the merchants,. by coach or horséback. The army wagons of 1813; President Monrbe rode over it on horseback on his visit to New England in_ 1817; also ‘President John' Quincy -Adathe rode over it 10..vears:latér. Over it.went hofse cars, bieycles and finally automobiles. When it was first bullt. Sprifefield: was only a'small town of 2,312 inhabitants. O3ly e commercial.village. At that time West Springfield .was- the larger of the two.

RECIPES FROM PAULA Déar Soclal Corner _Sisters: ors room In clothes closet space has always been limited at our house and since the children have grown out of babyhood finding room for thelr clothes has been a difficult problem, But we think we have found a satistactory solution. We enam- jeled an old velocipede wheel white, then we attached it to the shelf of the closet #0 it will swing around easily. Clothes bangers were hung around the rim. By turning the wheel the clothes desired are located with little difticulty, you find that you do mot have to do as much press- ing as you did when the hooks were crowded.
