slDDrs LITTLE WHITE BOW.

Dear Social Cornerites:-It has been long time since I have written for the. yellow paper which flew my way two weeks ago We were all as- sembled in the cottage the day of the picnic My daughter came up on the one o'clock trolley to the picnic and presented it to me. I thought The Bulletin was very prompt in sending it.
 What a lovely time we did have at the picnic last month. I tell you what thought when 1 read Crimson Ram 2Ith of June our Red Letter Day, how nice it would be if we could only have this cottage and have a picnic there every year on this date l will do my part in carrying it out. What do you say?

 ! Aunt Hester: Did you get hone all | right from the pich-c? Didn't we have a good time? Hope I can attend all of them I agree with you L. H. K. | on the temperance question I am a 1 strong temperance woman. l do not | like the saloon; and do like to wear my little white ribbon I tell you, if ' you Sisters want te do kind act in l this world just wear a bow of white ribbon on your waist or coat; a good way to do is to buttonhole a loop on ! all of your dress and coats the color l of them, and then tie your white bow ! in it When it becomes soiled take t ] out and tie in another one. This is
 a plan of our State President of the i w. C. T. U-. Mrs. c. B. Buell. Let me tell you of an incident o1
 the little white ribbon. as told by l Mrs. Dietrich, of New York a Tenn perance Organizer and Lecturer on ] Temperance. She told this to my
 daughter and l. One day while wait ing on the street for a friend she stood
 in front of a saloon. a young man
 came along and started to go into the
 saloon: she accosted him, and asked
 him why he was going in there? She
 asked: How will your mother feel ?'
 With that the young man turned
 and his eye fell upon the bow ci
 white ribbon. He took from Ia:
 pocket a book. a little old worn testa-
 ment, and from it took soiled white
 bow of ribbon. He said: My mother
 wore this always: and I have kept il ever since she diedi" He cried and Mrs D. gave him some sound al-
 vice and he promised her with teAFs
 streaming down his face, never tc
 touch the cup again. So you see what
 the little bow of white ribbon will do
 I mean always to have one on. ol my little white bow pin. EDDY.
