Reported by CRIMSON RAMBLER. The annual picnic of the Social Cor
 ner was held at Coventry Lake, Fri
 day. June 23rd.
 Guides with yellow sashes, met the
 guests at the trolley terminal and es- 1 corted them to the pretty cottage where the picnic was to be held, and guests were there met by Biddy who
 gave each and everyone a royal well come.
 The desk then asked to pass on to the desk where Polly Wintergreen had
 charge of the Social Corner register, l each Sister in her turn signed her name, pen name, place of residence, and date of birth. Then the sociabili- ties began.
 Vases of yellow roses (the club col l or) greatly added to the appearance
 of the table which fairly groaned un- der the weight of the good things fur
 nished by the corner sisters. The lunch consisted of salads,
 pickles, sandwiches of different vari- | of all descriptives, made from the diff
 ferent Social Corner recipes, pies, fruit
 and tea, for those who wished it. The last things to be served were
 fruit punch and ice cream, so gener-
 ously donated by the Bulletin Go. Dinner was served at 12:30 and all
 were invited to pass around the table and help themselves
 The hostesses were, Biddy, who had
 charge of the whole affair Aunt Abby, Huldy, Tidy Addly, Polly Wintergreen | Tiny Pop Over, Wrinkles, Saturday Eve and Crimson Rambler. | When the names had been counted l in the register it was found there were 1 125 present, the largest number on
 any similar occasion.
 Lunch being over the first thing on | the program for the afternoon enter i tainment was a description of the N | B. $. c. Sunshine Banner which was ! on exhibition, made and originated by | Biddy and voted by all beholders, tC | be a pretty piece of hand work, done 1 by our able chairman.
 1 The second was the baby show, the prize winners being: 1st, The youngest | who was a year old on that day be- l ing Arlene E. Little, the daughter O1 i Papa's Boy; 2nd, the quietest baby | Myron Hadfald, son of Touriene; 3rd l the latest baby, Earl Potter, son o1 l Loretta: 4th, the prettiest, Vera Ar | lene Geiser (the little mascot of Clut l No. 9, daughter of No Name. The l fifth prize was awarded to Wee Peggy as the Social Corner baby, the daugh- | ter of Peggy Anne.
 | Then came the reading of the an 1 swers to the three questions asked b5 1 Biddy in last weeks issue. There were a gOo1ly number of letters reaC i by the different Sisters. The prizes | going, first to Crimson Rambler; sec | ond 10 Jennie; third, to Polly Winter. green; fourth, to Aunt Mary; fifth, tc 1 Primrose.
 The judges of the afternoon were | outside parties, not being known tc
 the Cornerites.
 The last thing on the list was z l monologue The Village Seamstress'
 finely rendered by one of the Sisters
 whose name I am sorry to say, failed | to obtain.
 Tose present wish to thank Si, O Club No. ?, who was unable to at | tend, for his generosity in remember i ing them with his treat of Jolly pops peanuts and chewing gum; also thu Bulletin Company for all favors, pas
 and present, and last but not least th' lovely ice cream. etc, to help make thu i day one never to be forgotten; also
