 Just as we got to the depot it began to rain, but it was only a shower and had stopped before we got to 0rwich. There I met Rural Delivery and Paula and some others joined us on the way, so we made quite a brave showing when we got to Aunt Abby's pleasant country home.
 It is a pleasant little cottage with shade trees, a garden and flowers, There was a bright little dog. a eat with a pretty collar and hens. There was quite a crowd of Iadies-Crimson Rambler, Lucy Acorn, Golden Glow, Auntie No. 1, CaIIa Lily and Aunt Sa- rah.

THE MEET AT AUNT MARvs

Dear Social Cornerites: Under a clOudleSS sky and with a gentle breeze we were favored with a perfect sum mer day to meet with Aunt Mary in her pleasant home. an ideal spot.
 The shady, wooded hill in the dis tanCe, the monarch maple trees that spread their branches over a spacious lawn, the restfuI quietness of the place-Iike the peace of a Sabbath day were all a fitting background to the large farmhouse, that has shel- tered many generations, and it's many large, airy rooms, which contained treasured mementOs of by-gOne days. This is where we found Aunt Mary, with the doors of hospitality wide open to receive all who came. We hands and smiling face to greet us under the waving folds of Old Glory. For a time we were busy with greetings, and meeting the Sisters we had never met before.
 Some were busy with hook and thread and all were busy talking.
 Lunch was enjoyed as usual and a commendable feature was the small amount of work necessary for it.
 A vote of thanks from all was ex- pressed for The Bulletin company for the delicious ice cream.
 Music was enjoyed from the piano and phOnOgraph.
 Remarks and readings were heard from Aunt Mary Crimson Rambler, Tidy Addly, Mayfayre, Etta Barber and one of the small Barbers and oth- CTS.
 Thus passed another day of pleas ant association and enjoyment which will enrich our own lives by contact with the good and brave and true; and ever finger in our memory.
 About fifty met to enjoy the day.
 Joseph Doe: Had the first dah1ia blossom the 4th of August. Has any, one beaten that?
 Keturah: Wish you could enjoy some of the picnics with us.

 Pickled PeaChes-Make q syrup of two quarts of best cider vinegar and six pounds granUlated sugar; place this in kettle with a spice bag contain ing one tablespoon of whole cloves and quarter pound of stick cinnamon; 1; pare and halve the peaches, leaving in an occasional stone for flavor; cook the peaches in the syrup until ten der, then in glass jars; fill jars with the vinegar syrup and seal.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND LAWN
 PARTY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-Here are a few hints which the Sisters may be glad to know
 A novel collar, dainty and simple can easily be made from a fancy handkerchief of the usual ladies' size Lay the handkerchief fiat. From one corner cut along the diagonal. toward the center five inches. From the end of this cut make two others, vertical to the hem. but taking care not to cut into it From the points On the hem where these cuts end, cut an inward curve that will fit the neck. Turn a narrow hem on all the cut edges, and hold it by catstitching on the right side of tk@ collar. That preserves the hem, and also gives a pretty finish. After henlming the edges, turn the two triangles that now extend up in to Gle neck space so that the sides formed by the hem of the handker- chief will come at right angles to the hem of the collar. Caught in that pO- sition by a few stitches they will take the place of a jabot.
 I saw by several of the The Bul1e- tins that you are having good times with your picnics and parties. I only wish I could join you but that is inn possible. If you wish to have a nice lawn party and have a good time and make a little money out of it. why not try an Alice in Wonderland lawn party which is not at all difficult to arrange. The essentials are a large and attractive garden in which to hold the party. and a circle of friends to take part in it. The chara cters to be represented are Alice, the White Rabbit. the Duchess, the Mad Halter, Humpty Dumpty, TweedIedum and TweedIedee and any others *ou please.
 If you follow the illustrations in Alice in Wonder1and", you will have little trouble in making costumes that are appropriate For the White Rab- Lit and the Dormouse, you can pro- cure masks at almost any large tnv-

TO KEEP CUT FLOWERS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Here are some things worth knowing: Iodine can be taken out of scarf, whether linen or cotton, if the stain is Immediately wet with alcohol, rubbed between the hands, then rinsed in cold water. Repeat until entirely removed. Preserving Cut Flowers: Before re- moving them from the box, sprinkle gently with cold water, then make strong soapsUds, put the flowers therein, taking care net to pack too closely together. Each morning take them out of the suds, clip stems, lay in cold water and let them lie a few minutes, sprinkle with fresh water and return to the suds, and your flowers will look as if just picked. How a few flowers do glorify a room!
 The boiler after using if rubbed all over with good soap will not rust, and this helps make suds for the next washing day.

the high school this afternoon in honor
of Ralph Nicholson's victory at Indi-

he won the state discussion contest.
The services lasted about one and one

the trip to Bloomington, but ended up
by saying that Ralph's victory was
due to his conscientious work. He said
that during the training the young ora

and that he did what he said he would
do. He said that Nicholson won with
a quiet style or oratory, and that sew
eral of the contestants used the noisy
style.
Robert Smith gave humorous talk
on the biography of Nicholson. The
drum corps, of which Nicholson is a
member, marched around he auditori
UNI in uniform, bearing their cham
pion on their shoulders. Music was
