INTERESTING LETTER FROM
 POTlATCH.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends-Think it is about time I had another visit with you. Every one is so busy now, 1t is no wonder the time passes and we neglect to write to The Corner. But you are ever remembered by your Western Sister. And as I sit here and look over the Social Corner garden plot, it would be hard to for get, at least the friends who kindly sent me seeds and bulbs to make the garden a pleasure to me
 With kindly thoughts of you all so far away I have many flowers bloom ing now. Have had roses since the last of April. the spring being very early after a mild winter.
 In May I took a little trip down the Sound-and visited old friends, on Whidby Island. I seem to hear some one say, all of Potlatch friends must live on some island.
 You see we have many small islands around Puget Sound. and they are worth visiting even if one has no friends to see. - Whidby is the largest of all the is- lands. Much of the land is very pro- ductive, grain yields well, some years, wheat averages IF bushels per acre. Bonneville is the County Seat of Is- land Co. It is one of the oldest towns in Washington
 On the main street stands a block | house built in 1850 for protection against the Indians
 | r | tillery fortification is situated five miles across the island from Coupeville. ! How much wish my Eastern friends could take 8 trip some sunny day, down the Sound. Words cannot des- l cribe it's grandeur, a beautiful body of water. it's shores covered with timber, | and snow capped mountains each side. | I hope the Cornerites will not tire | reading my. letters about this country. | So many send good recipes for the | nf good thoughts, so l says to myself, | Just write about your Western home Last week I paid a visit to Wild
 wood". 1 found her well and surround | cd in her little home with many beau | tifuI flowers. to cheer her pathway. l We talked over the good things we had
 received through the Social Corner. l I see Mas recipe for dough beads; | I have seen many of the kind they are | very pretty. I wonder if any of the Sisters have made rose beads. they are ] nice-and never loose their perfume. l I will send my recipe for making them, if any one wishes to know It is some 1 trouble, but worth 1t if one cares for
 beads.
 i I am just done canning strawberries.
 They have been very plentiful; but are
 about gone now. Logan, and raspber- ries just coming on the market, home grown
 Wish I could be with you at the lawn
 party. Hope you all have pleasant time.

 silent?
