Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: Although l am not one of the first writers of our Social Corner, I am glad to add my little mite I read the first letters and have watched with interest the growth of The Corner; and have been glad to welcome all new members I feel I am quite a veteran writer, and I shall be three years old in May. I shall always remember with how much fear and trembling I drop ped nay first letter for The Corner in the mail box; and when the mail man arrived and took the letter with him felt if could only recall it. But it was done and too late to mend matters. There was only one thing to do, and that was to wait and see if it was printed or to go into the waste basket When I did see 1t in print I think I felt rather proud to know the Editor had found it worthy.
 Since then l have been in the pigeon hole and been put on the shelf: but 1t has never worried me as I felt the Editor knew what he was about.
 I have never had a 1teter lost or a card misplaced, in all the three years. l think that is doing well as one of so many writers.
