Norwich bulletin., 1913-12-06

The lively group of Social Corner Sisters in Willimantic and vicinity have made that section quite noted by their activity. It was through the warm -heartedness of Married and Happy that the first Social Corner picnic was introduced, and the dis covery made that such thing was possible without even the cooperation of The Bulletin.
 When Aunt Mehitable, Biddy, The oda, Married and Happy meet in front 1 of the Boston store in Willimantic, there is a social group present who discuss delightful questions of help- fitness and entertainment; and It is often the Social Corner comes in for their consideration. When they last met Married and Happy with her blue eyes sparkling made inquiry as to the next thing on the docket for Social Corner amusement.
 We have attended wedding anniver- saries singing skules, quilting parties and have travelled from Leonard Bridge to Maine from Maine to Cuba, and from Washington to Seattle said Biddy.
 There was only brief pause for Theoda. who Is quick to think of pleas urable possibilities, replied:
 Suppose we should all meet at the home of Sister Sympathy and hold an informal reception for our new mem bers2'
 Aunt Meh-able warmly responded 50 say we all of us Suppose we do?"
 Lets go on the next car to Aunty's and arrange for it!" said Biddy. There is a car just about to start!" and acting upon the suggestion they were soon all on board and on the way
 Arriving at Auntys they found her ready to enter right heartily into the plan, and it did not take them long to complete the arrangements.
 Sister Sympathy was notified by card and was delighted with the idea,
 When the Editor received 8 stack of cards to be remailed, he only smiled, for he well knew another good time among the members was soon to be put on record.
 When Nat received his card he said to Jane Ann: Guess we'll have to sell one 'er them hogs to keep up with these foIlts!"
 Never you mind," said Jane Ann T can sell the old black hen so as to help out! She is passe, anyway"
 The Willimantic sisters arrived early on reception day at Sister Sympathy'S and were soon at work helping; and as the Cornerites arrived they were quick to take hold and make every thing as easy as possible. It was an ideal day and Bluebird was singing merriIy and Fern was standing out on the verandah to welcome the members as fast as they should arrive.
