The Social Corner Editor was very pleasantly surprised on the 9th anni- versary, Saturday, March 18th. with a beautiful basket of golden trumpet ed napcfssus adorned with a pretty rosette of the Social Corner ribbon from the members of Social Corner Club No. 1.

 The basket was the work of Mar ried and Happy and will long be prized as an example of her artistic ability.
 The Editor was later surprised with a package from Married and Happy which he though was a gorgeous Tam O'Shanter for winter wear, bu1 his mate discovered it was one of Married and Happy's celebrat- ed handbags and she knew 1t was intended for her and walked away with it very much amused at the Ed itor's mistake, and pleased to. find fl was meant for her; and our happiness was increased because it seemed tc fit her arm so well.

SOCIAL CORNER CLUB NO. 2.

Editor of the Social Corner: Social Corner club No. 2 held it's first meet ing at the pleasant home of Aunt Abby on the Scotland road Saturday, March 18th. It has Is members.
 Those present had a double enjoy ment; first, the celebration of the So- ciaI Corners fifth birthday; secondly, it being the first "get together day of club No. 2.
 While we all were having a good time, many referred to the celebration in progress at Willimantic being en- joyed by Social Corner club No. l. As we are sister clubs, we shall be pleased to hear reports from them.
 A bOuntiful supper was served at 5.30 in the spacious dining room by the hostess, and those who sat down to the heavily laden table could not find words to adequately praise their host ess.
 An interesting feature of the even- ing was a repetition of the famous bean game which was played some little time ago by some of the club members present, and was heartily enjoyed by all.
 The doctor was there, with tablets and pills, as usual, and was called upor several times to administer to some very severe cases of indigestion. After supper was over and the Socia Corner grip was given, the members gave three cheers and a Calla Lily tc the hostess and with proper adieus Jeff for their respective homes, each votins Aunt Abby to have proven to be one of the best hostesses ever.

FAITH AND LOVE.

Editor Social Corner: It would be well if these little words were further discussed. Sweet Sixteen raised the question as to which Is greatest, faith or love. I know that many able minds have considered faith as the most po- tent power on earth, because faith but love makes us His children. Faith comprehends all of conscientious en- deavor, love includes every goodness Faith was represented by Columbus when fear possessed his men and they would have turned back but for his command Sail on! Sail on!" Love was represented by the Saviour who in the midst of His suffering on the cross prayed for His enemies, saying: Father, forgive them. for they know not what they do."
 Love represents the ultimate, and faith takes us through darkness to light and love. Can the guide to truth be greater than truth?
 Faith is more than an intense hope it is spur to intense activity, for the scriptures tell us Faith without works is dead" Faith does not inspire us to nope and to hope, but to think and to hustle.
 Where love possesses the soul, nc wrong can be done. Love represents the atmosphere of heaven.
 There is no reason why any compari- son should be made between faith and love. Faith is like magnetic needle which holds us true to the pole of love
 This is the way it looks to

GREETINGS FROM JANE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends: It is pleasure to be able to write a few lines of congratulation to the Editor, and a few words of birthday greetings for the members of the Social Corner family. Such a truly helpful, happy family as it is!
 The letters each week are so time ly, and the suggestions so helpful in all their variety. l feel it is beyond my power to add to what has been written, so have kept silent until it seemed selfishness not to say: Thank youi" at least, for the many, many hints and helps so freely given.
 l wonder if the Social Corner Sis- ters are interested personally In the Red Cross work? In the society to which I belong we are having first aid lectures by Red Cross nurse and we find them so helpful and the treat ments so practical.
 At each meeting the lecturer gives "quiz" on the work of the previous week, and then develops the next first aid subject, using the listeners as pa tients. thus giving us practical work ing out of the suggestions. With sincerest good wishes and hop ing the birthdays of the Social Corner may be many, JANE. Bridgeport.

HASN'T WORDS TO EXPRESS IT

Dear Cornerites: The fifth anniver- sary Is past and gone, but I must
 tell you how club No. 1 celebrated it.
 We had very delightful party, un- der the supervision of Theoda and
 Married and Happy. The day was beautiful. We arrived at the rooms nice and early. AS I passed through
 the corridor I caught glimpse of smiling groups of people in the rooms. thought: Why are anniversaries so
 far apart when we enjoy them so
 much. I then heard the sad news that
 Married and Happy and Theoda had done so much to make the day a day never to be forgotten, one of them was too i'll to be with us
 I hope some of the other sisters will write you about this party. [ fail to find words to do justice to it. We had loads of goodies to eat, and about
 thirty sat down to enjoy the spread. Theoda and Polly Peppermint de- voted the entire day to our comfort.
 We had music, singing and recita- tions. -
 Then little Miss Popover called us outside to have our pictures taken I hope some people will start club No. and write us about it. We have some hustlers in our club,
 and believe they spend a great many hours planning surprises for us, but We must draw the line at their over working in the future for we missed Married and Happy sadly.

or the mighty question of Woman's Suffrage.
 Just then, came Theoda and an other, each heavily laden with baskets and packages.
 Where's Married and Happy ask ed three voices at one time.
 At home, too sick to come" was the answer
 This state of affairs cast a shadow over the otherwise cloudless sky, for Married and Happy with Theoda were to be our hoStesSeS for the day.
 However, Theoda with her usual vim, shouldered the responsibility and with the help of Married and Happy's representative and that of some of the other Sisters luncheon was soon on the road to readiness.

How those proofs will turn out is mere conjecture on the part of some, but we live on the fond hope that in spite of glaring sunshine, sporting March winds, squinting eyes and strange pastures of some of us, especially those in the front row, our looks" may prove marveis of beauty and grace.
 The programme provided both for the outer and inner man or more cor rectly woman was very much enjoy ed
 Diana ,our adopted shutin Sister beamed upon us from a frame on the platform table. We were most hap py to make her acquaintance.

GREETINGS FROM SEATTLE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends: The fifth anniversary of the Social Corner is here. and I feel sure we are going to hear from many of the old and the new writers. What large family, and how patient and good our Editor has been. How many useful things we have learned from one an other; and the kind thoughts sent out to one another can never be forgotten.
 The year has brought it's changes to each and every one. Sorrow, pain, and the passing away of some loved one. We have learned some hard les sons and grown wiser, and better, as the trials of life help us to grow and develop, and understand life better.
 Now, before us. is the promise of spring. All nature is springing to life. Oh. the joy of living: and how glad we are to know we are at peace.
 Let us send out our good thoughts across the sea; and pray with all our strength that this terrible war may end.
 There seems to me to be great pow CT in thoughts; and kind and loving thoughts cost us nothing and may bring hope and strength to some weary one.
 We are scattered, but once each year let us send greetings to one another through our home circle-the Social Corner.
 I wish to thank you all who have kindly remembered me with greetings by letters and postals.
 I am busy now getting the Social Corner garden ready. I have quite a lew flowers blooming. We are having "a early spring-not one bit of snow

RURAL DELIVERY PLEASED.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: The fifth anniversary page was good in every respect, with a large number of letters of praise for The Bulletin and the Editor. which they surely deserve
 The Social Corner sister with Old Glory stands firm with the colors with the determination to keep the sixth year of the department in the front ranks,
 It is time the sisters need to be thankful to the Editor for his efforts to make the Social Corner page inter esting and profitable to all.
 It almost seemed that Brother Bromley had returned to the Social Corner he loved so well, when we read his beautiful lines entitled Where Milk White Birches Grew.
 Saturday Eve did well to guess Ke- ziah Doolittle's riddle. Had I been more used to needle work might have done better.
 No one but an Editor knows the care the overwork and loss of sleep he has had the past year keeping harmony and peace in the large family on his hands.
 In the Social Corner Record, this week, we expect to see a long list of writers. A fine way to get acquainted is to write often for the department and try to find out Who is who."

ETTA BARBER by her constancy and the practical character of her let ters has been a help to all.
 THEODA proposed the first anni- versary celebration and has been ac- tive in promoting every social feature.
 SUNSHINE, who was among the earlier writers for The Corner, discov- cred Ready and won the souvenir cup and saucer.
 MAPLE LEAF took the cup and saucer for being the first to discover Crimson Rambler.
 CRIMSON RAMBLER ranks among our first writers upon various subjects.
 FRANK OF MOOSUP has been a most efficient contributor and a spreader of sunshine, though herself an invalid. The same may be said of DIANA and DOM PEDRO.
 MAS contributions upon the pro- duction of chickens and care of hens would make a very handy reference book.
 READY has never ceased to bright en up The Corner with her good cheer and sets us all a good example by her enthusiasm and her industry. AUNTY NO. 1 and AUNT ABBY held lawn parties during the year.
