HANNAH WHO.
GOSSIP FROM J. E. T.

Dear Social Cornerites: Here is
something I have learned this sum-
rner: How to crochet a tiny shell and
have Grimmed some undergaTnenEs
white and two shirt waists, collars
and cuffs; one lavender, one pale blue
silkine, a new fine knitting thread:
and how to cut and make an under
combination garment fine for fat
women.
A lifelong friend learned me these,
and she has helped me out many times
Lucy Acorn. You know her well,
and a Lebanon sister gave me this:
Place a cheesecloth bag of green shell
ed peas or tender string beans on top
of your kettle Of boiled dinner-pork,
cabbage, turnips, carrots. Try it; it's
good.
P A: I want some more Of your
IDEAS Some one please tell me who
Ormandine Of Taftville is? She knows
some of my private affairs, and I have
used all my thinking powers to no
avail.
Has any one a narrow knit lace? I
want directions for some.

ner was made for women and not for
men, and I would step down and out
and give others the space I mad been
taking.
BY the next mail I received a letter
from the Editor saying: while The
Corner was a Woman's department, he
would not let me go, and hoped I would
write as often as convenient"
Had he not urged me pretty strong
to continue to write. should not have
been a Social Corner member today
as never like to crowd in where I do
not belong.
Three years ago Aunt Abby gave me
q very strong invitation to attend one
of her picnics. The thought came to
me, would it be safe to go to such a
gathering, when the Sisters had found
out I was not woman.
Well, this life is full of chances. so
I took a chance and attended the pic
mic and never had better time in nv
life; and now am making annual trips
to Aunt Abby's p1cnics, which would
not miss any more than a boy would
miss going TO a good fish pond or the
coming circus.
These gatherings are fine and make
friendships never to be forgotten, and
they will continue, as the Social Cor
ner has come to stay and g. fine lot
Of young writer's will keep The Corner
page interesting to one and all.
Hope you viii excuse so many lines,
as the best people on earth belong to
the Social Corner. It is hard to stop
writing anything pertaining to their
welfare or the department. Let 1hs
hope we may all meet again,
With best wishes to one and all.

At 1 o'clock a luncheon of salads,
baked beans, sandwiches, sliced ham,
cheese, tea and coffee. pie and cake
was enjoyed, as also were peanuts do

furnished by The Bulletin company.
Aunt Abby's baked beans were just
grand. Boston cannot compete with
Norwich Town for baked beans, baked

enough to get a piece Of Aunt Abby s
lemon pie did not get a lemon, but a
peach of pie.
AS usual, the large flag with The
Corner banner attached was floating
in the front yard, and the boat of
flowers in bloom were looking fine, as
in the past years.
The house was very prettily decorat-
ed by Crimson Rambler, the color of
The Corner, orange, being conspicuous
throughout the house. A large bed of
wild ox-eye daisies on the highway
near the house were bowling their yell
low heads to all as they passed along
to the gate of Aunt Abbys fine house.
In the afternoon, between the show

speaking and singing.

THE NEW ORDER.

A little over six years ago a new
order was organized at Norwich called
The Social Corner. The headquarters
were at The Bulletin office. The mas
ter of the order was the Editor Of the
department, who sent out word he
wanted writers to give their views on
different subjects.
As it is h1rd to start anything new,
we saw the Editor was in trouble;
much like a case which happened on a
state road.
A party found a fine looking old
gentleman in the middle of the road
looking over his new touring car, which
was stalled:
The party said: You have a fine car
there! What seems to be the trouble"
The old gentleman gave the car a
sorrowful look and said: 81 paid 81, 600
for that car and they told me it was a
40 horse power MACHINE, and the thing
won't go. AS near as I can find out,
the trouble is 80 Of the horses are
dead"
The car had run out of gasoline!
The writer's of the Social Corner are
the gasoline and without them The
Corner would be stalled. When The
Corner was first born 1 used to help
the Editor out with a little every week
by sending in a few lines on different
views, which he seemed to appreciate.
was having a pretty good time ex-
changing thoughts on different sub
jects with the writer's, for I did not
know who was who" as the heading
Of The Corner page at that time was
in just plain type. 1t ran along for a
year or more, and l had lots Of fun,
not knowing who l was writing to.
1t was as The Corner family began
20 grow much larger when I began to
receive cards and letters addressed:
Dear Sister: Can you tell me how you
make crust for cream pies? Do you
make round or twisted doughnuts? Can
you make mince pies without meat?"
I nearly tainted when one asked me
for certain patterns. I began to think
at once I had got myself into trouble
for sure, and when the next Social
Corner page came out I saw at the
head the picture of five ladies, not a
man in sight.

mess. have been Infringing on wom-

HINTS ABOUT SERVING MEAT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The
following are a few useful hints:
Meat: Never place meat directly on
the ice in the refrigerator; the wa
ter draws out the juices of meat
Never allow meat to remain in the
paper in which it is brought frcSn the
butcher. or in the hot kitchen; put it
at once in a cool place.
All meat that has been hung long
must be carefully scraped and wash
ed Off with vinegar and water before
using-the outer skin may have ac-
quired a stale taste.
All warmed-over meats If fried,
should either be Dreaded or else dip
ped into batter and fried Tho Dat
ter, or egg nd bread crumbs form a
juicy. If cold meat is fried without
either, it is alwayc hard and strIugy
Meat is cooked in its own juice, by
placing the piece in a stone pan with
a cover, without any water. AMI let.
ting 1t cook on the back of the stove
slowly, and gently.
All meats cooked at a low degree of
heat are rendered tender and paiata-
BILE.
In broiling either meats or fish, he
sure that the gridlron IS perfectly
clean, and that it is rubbed with good
fat. and is hot before using.
In broiling, no thin pieces SHOULD
be broiled, only thick, f1eshy pieces
No forks should ever be stuck into
them, nor should they be cut with a
knife. You may sprinkle your steak
or chop with a little pepper, but new
er add the salt till the meat is done
Cold beef cut in slices covered with
vinegar over night. then dipped in
egg we'll seasoned with salt and nut
meg, rolled in bread crumbs, fried
makes a very good lunch dish.
Always rub the broiler or gridiron
with cat before using. and always
have It hot before putting on the r4eai
or fish ODE broiled. Broiling requires
a brisk fire, free from smoke.
A mixture for croquettes can he
made and moulded and the croquettes
kept in a cool place until needed

PIcNICKED UNDER THE TREES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Aunt
Abby's SiCnic was a decided success.
TO be sure, the day was not all that
could be desired, but the beautiful
decorations Of yellow, the ideal place,
the bright and sunny faces of the Sis
tiers and Brothers, especially Sis, more
than compensated for the gloomy
weather.
We had our picnic under Aunt Alb
by's trees, and I could not begin to
mention the good things we had to
eat besides SIS peanuts The lovely
ice cream and hot tea and coffee-ft

nice sketch Of his own writing which
was much enjoyed.
Mandy gave us good talk. Also 81.

everything for US, and we all did en-

to this time next year, when we can

THE FINER THOUGHT.

How fine it is at night to say:

I have not by a word or deed,
In any breast sowed anger's seed,
Or caused a fellow being pain;
Nor is there on my crest a stain
That shame has left. in hOnOrs way
With head erect, I've lived this day"
When night slips down and day de-
parts
How fine it is to close the book
OF records for the day, and look
Once more along the Travelled mile
and find that all has been worth while
To say, Tn honor 7 have toiled
Ny plume is spotless ana unsOiled"
Yet cold and stern a man may be
Retaining his integrity,
And he may pass from day to day
a spirit dead in living clay,
Observing strictly moral laws,
Vet serving but a selfish cause
So it is not enough to say:
Il Iave not stopped to shame to-
dayH'
It is Il finer. noblcr thought
When day is done and night has
brought
THO contcmplative hours and sweet
And rest 30 weary hearts and feet
IF mall can stand in truth and say:
II have been useful here TODAY
TACK there is one I CHANGED to see
With hope now born because of me.
This dav in honor I have toiIed,
Ny shining crest is still unsoiIed;
But on the mile 7 leave behind
Is one who says that 7 was kind:
