 NJ. Roena: The plan of your new home is fine. It will be preserved with you standing near by. It shows what a woman can do with plenty of cour- age, even if she is not very strong and able to do heavy work. May you live long and enjoy the beautiful home you have worked so hard to build. Many thanks for your kind words in last Saturdays Bulletin.
 Keziah DoolittIe: Oh, no! We have made no mistake. We have not called on the wrong one. We have surely guessed you out. Did you take your pen name from some of those queer names of things you had while teach ing school and boarding out?
 Brownie: The Brownies are cute lit tie fellows and can get around in many places without being seen. You must live somewhere in this section, I do not play the violin now, although I greatly miss it. Having hurt my left hand with a circular saw, l was obliged to give up the violin. Yes, I prefer a string of trout now to the violin string and often return with a good catch
 Three cheers for The Bulletin, the Ed itor and the Social Corner and kind wishes to all.

AS RURAL DELIVERY VIEWS IT.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: The Social Corner page the past year has been very interesting and all the letters from the east, the west, north and south we have read with much pleasure and profit. There have been letters upon different subjects, good home letters, good business letters ana good recipes without number which were much enjoyed by the man of the house-even by the men who thought the Social Corner did not amount to but little, as it was only a Woman's gossip, who have enjoyed many good meals from Social Corner recipes.
 It is evident the department has many good cooks. This is a day of feasting and thanksgiving for all the writers.
 The anniversary page last year was fine with Old Glory floating over the names of the writers. Let us all enjoy the fifth anniversary day as a large family picnic! If it is only on paper

BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE
 YOU ARE,

Dear Editor and Friends of the So- cial Corner: I agree most heartily with the idea of a Social Corner an niversary: I wish to be remembered also to show I have not forgotten. I still enjoy this interesting page as much has ever. look back across the years that have been connected with the morning Bulletin with the great est of pleasure.
 I have beee thinking of our Y. P. $. c. E. topic for March 7th, this week, How t9 Make This a Happier World A deep subject, and a gc pd thought for us all to take with us each day.
 They say that Billy Sundays favor ite song in his great revival meeteirlgs is, Brighten the Corner Where You Are. I think as members of the $o- cial Corner this has been our motto Let us strive to make 1t still brighter, both here and in the little corneB of life, where God through His wonder full love has seen fit to place us.

KIND WISHES FROM THEODA.

Greetings to the Editor and all Writers to the Social Corner: We are on the threshold of another annivers- ary and it is but natural that we pause a moment and take a retrospec- tive glance at what has been attempt ed and accomplished, not only the past year, but since the beginning-fve years ago.
 We hope the Editor has not been disappointed ir his efforts, as he has to rely on us, the writers, for it's SUD- port.
 The Corner has become a much prized feature iE our homes; enter taining and instructive by the variety of subjects it treats.
 The social side has become a prom inent and desirable element when we have been willing to rend the veil Of mystery and disclose who is who,' we have found many dear ones and we are glad to clasp their hand and call them friends. Friend-which means, one who is attached or attracted to an- other. And so we have been attract ed to those we have come in contact with Us the deepest, truest sense of the word; by kindness of thought and action, by the noble qualities of minds and heart which make life worth while, by mutual e1 change of kindred thoughts on topics of importance and helpfulnesS; but not by the size of their bank account. or style or costli- ness of their wardrobe, or the aristo- cratic branches in their family tree. These lines come to me, Choose not your friends by outward show, the feathers float, the pearls lie low.''
 We thank The Bulletin for it's kind ly interest in our pleasure and the many times it has made it manifest. Our heart is full of thankfulness and appreciation for it all
 May the Social Corner continue through the years sending cheer to the shut-ins and pleasure and profit to us all.

A WORD TO INTERESTED READ
 FRS.

Editor of the Social Corner: I have been more than pleased with the evil dences of appreciation of the six doz- en homemade ca1enders which mail ed to writers of the Social Corner. Since it is joy to do it we expect no returns and we know most people haven't time to return thanks. We have been surprised to receive doz- en souvenir cards of thanks in addf- tion to a score or more acknowledg- ments in Social Corner letters. Poin- settia sent to me a set of beautiful mountain photos for which I thank her; and Ma sent a match-scratch- CT which keeps her to sight and mem- ory dear every day in the year.
 The cards were from Ready, Betsy Bobbett, Sally Sycamore, Aunty No. l, Blanche, Theoda, Nat (who let me see things were on the hog with him) Queen Elizabeth. Enid, Potlatch, and Grandma. There may have been oth- CTS. If so, we beg pardon of the senders for the omission.

WORDS FROM
 CHATTERBOX.
FROM

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: Here I come this lovely morning to help celebrate the fifth anniversary of The Corner.
 First of all, I want to thank The Bulletin for opening the way for us to become acquainted with each other, and I also want to thank all the writers to The Corner for their bright; cheer ful and helpful letters. No department could be more beneficial than the Social Corner, and I think we all may well feel proud we are members of such a cheerful corner and wear our little yellow bow in plain sight so we may recognize each other when we meet.
 I hope The Corner will continue to grow from year to year, and that we may have Social Corner picnic at Coventry lake this summer.
 l expect to see Maine Lover, Spring Chicken, Trottie and Wandering Jew this week.
 I wish all the sisters and brothers much happiness this year. Prosperity to The Corner

QUERIES FROM o. H. o.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Will just send a few words of greeting to all. The day has come and I suppose the sisters are ready for the anniver- sary of the Social Corner:
 Rainbow must have dropped out of sight, or has a new pen-name.
 Do any of you belong to the Home stead club? What do you do to amuse the young people at social? For games we have some like these:
 Winkum'S Post Kitchen Furniture, naming the different articles used in a kitchen; bird, beast and fish; also, Jacob and Rachel, are amusing. Have you other pleasing games?
 Where is Beccy? Hope she is well. She may be busy making maple syrup. Wish Beccy would write me.
 Will close with best wishes to all. Has Stafford Daisy a telephone? If so wish she would call me up.

WELCOME TO TIDY ADDLY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I have been a reader of The So- cial Corner since it's inception and have enjoyed and profited by the many good things written by the members.
