 Am sorry Etta Barber has felt sighted. I have missed her letters, as I have also missed letters from others who have not written for long time, Or else have changed to pen names which I do not recognize. But there are so many writers in The Corner that 1t is almost impossible to call for all of them. and perhaps unfair to the ones left unnamed. Am afraid if each one of us waited for a special invita- ton to write, from some other Sister i many of us would wait for long time
 and The Corner page would hardly gel l filled each week
 Please write again, everybody. This means YOU. sl

Which Are You !

. ss
 Which Are You7 There are two kinds of people on earth Just two vol kinds of people; no more. I say. Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well understood That the good are half bad. and the bad are half good Not the rich and the poor, for to count mans wealth You much first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man. Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears. No; the two kinds Of people on earth that mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean. Wherever you go, you will find the worlds masses Are always divided in just these two classes. And. oddly enough, you will find. too, I ween, There is only one liter to twenty who lean. In which class are you? Are you
 easing the load Of overtaxed filters who toll down the
 road? or are you 2 leaner who lets others Your portion Of labor and worry and care?

THIRD MONTHLY MEETING OF
 CLUB NO. i.

Dear Social Corner Friends: The third monthly gathering of Social Cor ner Club No. 1 met as usual in the w. c. T. U. hall on Valley street, willi- were Tidy Addly. Clio. Olive and Keturah- A goodly number was present despite the unsettled weather
 As entered the trolley car from my home. there sat Polly Wintergreen and Dorothy Perkins No. 1.
 After leaving the car in Willimantic we ran across Huldy. Merry France, and Married and Happy.
 On entering the hall we found we were the first ones. The hostesses met us and invited us to lay aside our wraps and await the others. We didn't have long to wait. for very soon they began to pour in by twos and threes.
 The hall was very prettily decorated In The Social Corner color. No don't some of the brothers show up ?
 hope to see every writer at the an- nual June picnic at Coventry lake. This will be the greatest and biggest occasion of all that has been held at Coventry lake. so I want all to come. or old, pretty or homely, rich or poor, married or single. or both, big or lit tie. fat or slim. short or tall, remember these gatherings are for all Norwich Bulletin Writers. so we hope to see the MEN. But I am straying. Tho room began to show something was doing and the tables began to groan under the good things the hostesses were putting on. In the center of the table stood a basket of inch vine-Married and Happy pre- sented tn the club. No. 1. at the begin ming of the series of meetings: and Tidy Addly very cleverIy made and trimmed the vine up by darting here and there a very pretty half blown yellow rose made from yellow tissue paper. These roses really looked like the real roses They were beau yellow paper (Right here I'd like to say to all who would be hostesses, that the yellow decorations belong to me and I leave them down there for all who act as hostesses to use.) About thirty five partook of the nice things that were placed upon the ta- bles and the delicious coffee won't say how many cups drank. but I had company.
 Alter dinner. or lunch. Tidy Addiy gave Us quite programme First came piano solos by Juan and Peggy Anne: then reading by Biddy: vocal solos. reading by Pollyanna and Keturah: and cards were read by Clio, Olive and Keturah from Sis ters who were unable to be there
 A good deal of amusement by diff ferent ones in the line of Cake walk" and other walks was given to the enjoyment of all.
 We certainly did have a great time and all who were there will agree with me when say that every time seems to be better than the last. casting no reflection on previous occasions and former hostesses (for I'd hit myself seei Hal hai)
 Those who were not there don't know what. they have missed. Tc those who wrote cards would say the reading of them was appreciated by all; sorry you couldn't be with us l Try again.
 Tidy Addly has a fork some one | left, and she wished me to say if the owner will come to her she may have 1t.
 The next gathering will be February eth. The hostesses are: Dorothy Perkins No. 1. Mary France. F1oro- dora and Huldy.
 May we all meet together on thi, date. and every one try to make 1t en- BTDDY

RECIPES FOR MAKING YEAST
 BREAD.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-Here are a few recipes of how to make yeast, bread, etc:
 Home made Yeast No. 1.-Pare four good sized potatoes, and let them lie in cold water for a half-hour Put one quart of boiling water in a sauce pan. Now grate the potatoes quickly and stir them into the boiling water; stir over the fire for five minutes, then take from the fire, add cupful of sugar, and two tablespoons salt turn into a stone jar or bowl, and let stand, until lukewarm; then add one cupful of good yeast, cover and fer ment three or four hours: stir it down every time 1t comes to the top of the vessel; then put it in a jar or large bottle, or something you can cover tightly and stand it in place where it will keep very cold, but not freeze. It will keep two weeks. Save, cup full of this, yeast to start with next time. This Is the simplest and best yeast that can be made.
 Home made Yeast No. 2-Pare and boil four good-sized potatoes; when full of dried hops into one quart of water and boil fifteen minutes. Put one pint of flour into a bowl, strain over it the boiling hop water, add the smooth; then add half cup of sugar and two heaping tablespoonsful of salt, and finish the same as yeast No. 1.
 Hop Yeast-Tie two ounces of hops in a thin bag and, boil them in three quarts of water; moisten with cold water a sufficient quantity of flour and stir in the hop yeast while boil ing hot add a tablespoonful of salt. let 1t stand until 1t is lukewarm, and then add a pint of old yeast, when 1t is light, cover 1t, and stand 1t In a cool place for use.
 Steamed Brown 6read-One quart each of milk and Indian meal one pint rye meal, one cup of molasses. to wtaiblespoonsful of soda Add a little salt and steam four hours.
 Bread with Potato Sponse-Peel and boil four medium potatoes in one quart of water. When done, ter boiling hot over about one pint of flour, stirring well. Do this at din- ner time. When cool add enough more water to make wished for amount of batter. one cupful of yeast for four loaves of bread, one tablespoonful of salt, one of sugar and flour sufficient to make moderately stiff batter. Keep in a warm place, and in the eve- ming add flour enough to knead. Do this thoroughly cover well, keep warm and in the morning knead down and let 1t rise again. After breakfast if sufficiently light make into loaves, moulding thoroughly. and let 1t rise, covering warmly until sufficiently light. Bake in a hot oven at uni- form temperature from three -fourths to one hour. Brushing the loaves over with little melted butter tends to soften the crust.

GREETINGs FROM POLLY PEP
 PEEMINT.

Dear Friends of The Gunner: I note that some of the kind Sisters are miss ing Polly Peppermint from their gath srings. appreciate the kind thought which causes you to note my absence. Several times l have partly made plans to be with you, but unavoidable circumstances have prevented my be- ing present when the day came.
 Last Wednesday, the 12th, hoped to be on Valley street, Willimantic. with the happy folk. but alas! the grip had me in it's fierce talons all last week, and it's programme for that par ticular day was neuralgia darting all through my face and head. At last 1t decided to settle in one of my molars, and soon Polly Peppermint's likeness for Dents Toothache Gum. Glad the rest of Club No could be so well represented at the meeting.
 Huldy: I still hope to see you in your home some fday. Fate seems to have been in the way of my meeting with you at the Social Corner sssner- ings.
 Chore Girl: If you ever happen along my way, come in and see us. Bring the news along with you. too.
 Aunt Mehitable: Are you in w this winter? Saw you on the street at Christmas time; tried to catch you, but think you went in to see Santa Claus at the B. store.
 Polly Wintergreen: This Polly will be very glad to meet you and the rest again perhaps in February. Hope you are well.
 Arc the Sisters remembering to throw out few crumbs to the birds this bitter weather2 A flock of juncoes and few chickadees come regularly to our back door for the bits of food which are placed there daily.
 Best wishes to all of the clan.
