GREETINGS FROM c. E. S.

Editor and All Corner Sisters: I will drop in for a short chat. What a, lovely day we had for the picnic as Coventry! Surely, it was another red letter day, long to be remembered by all who were there. We had a fine time, as we al- ways do at the gatherings. I hope the hcstesses did not get sick, for certainly they had plenty to do.
 Eddy: Hope you did not get so frightened seeing such a large gather ing around you that you won't dare to cackle, for we all like to hear Btddy cackle.
 Tidy Addly: Did you have a hard headache? If so, I know how to sym pathize with you, as have them my self; but happily escaped having one on that day.
 Huldy: I hardly had a chance to speak to you, you were 50 busy with the other hostesses preparing the goodies. Didn't the sight of that table so laden with good things make us all have a good appetite?
 Sis lovely peanuts and lolypops were fine! It was too bad he could not come. know we all should have liked to thank him. It was very kind of him to send them.
 Thanks to The Bulletin and hostesses and all who helped entertain at the picnic, for I think we had a splendid time, and one that will be long remem- bered.
 Hoping that we all shall meet again some time, am ever the same.

IDEAL HUSBAND

Today" observed Miss Gillespie to her friend Miss Wertenweiler, T saw a perfectly trained husband
 'TWhere
 "Over where |, went with Mrs. Bin kersmith to looRat a house that is for rent. The husband, a very slow and pompous person. took us through the house. but as he was summarizing the advantages of the house, real and imaginary, the wife joined us Imme- diately the mans manner changed from stony pomp to meekness and hu- mility.
 He drifted out of the limelight at once, and what got me was the con- tentment with which he became a SUI per. That's why I call him the ideal husband. As soon as his wife came along he retired with a figurative bow, as much as to say: Now you have the real works. I now lay before you something of which am justly proud. You would have thought he was a sculptor and that she was something he had just sculped.
 ''When the wife remarked that it was a perfect day the husband grinned as much as to say Isn't she the cute un?' Everything she said seemed a particularly brilliant sally in his opin- ion.
 "The only time he didn't grin was
Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-08

when his wife spoke of her first hus- band. I don't know why wives have to tell everybody about their first hus- bands. But she got over the ground promptly in the early part of the pro gramme and never went back to 1t.
 The husbands conduct during the recitation concerning the late lannented was heroic! He merely turned his back and stood with his hands in his pock- cts, apparently observing distant hills. It was just like a person waiting for change in a store.
 Tn due time his wife rememb bered his presence and said: But that was years before I met MT. Smith, At that MT. Smith the ideal husband, knew that part one of his wife's recital was over.
 Every time the lady referred to him in her narrative he glowed with pleas ure, he was so happy and proud to figure in the life of such a grand lady. She spoke grandly and she wore grand gold spectacIes, and her manner was grandly bland, which, of course, is the only real pure and unadulterated grandness, and I suspect that you have to be like that in order to secure an ideal husband like MT Smith.
 Having had one man to practice on gives woman a great advantage" " concluded Miss Wertenweiler.-Chic News.

THE PICNIC BASKET.

Dear Social Cornerites: When you start on a picnic take a good lunch and plenty of it. Plan a day before hand. If you are possessed of a short memory, make a list of what you will need.
 The sandwich is the. picnic standby of which a variety never come aniss. For simple sandwiches, butter white bread thinly, and place between thin slices of cold chicken, if one happens to. have it, or thin slices of cold boil ed ham, scrambled egg, or whatever one might have on hand.
 If you are going to have @ campfire take some thin slices Of bacon, or a the fire; for the franllfurters one needs a little wide-mouthed bottle of prepared mustard.
 The sandwiches may be kept fresh and moist by wrapping in parafne pa per.
 Saratoga Chips are nice if one pre- fers to make them. Here is good recipe: Pare and slice very thin me dium sized potatoes. Let them stand in cold water for a. little while. Drain on a towel. Fry in hot lard until Drowned, remove to brown paper to absorb the fat and sprinkle with salt
 Of course you will want to take some cake for dessert.
 A bottle of grape juice, which can be diluted with water, makes a good drink, or one may take a bottle of lemon syrup and make lemonade, "all in a minute"
 Lemonade: Boil one cup sugar, two cups sugar, two cups of water twelve minutes; add third of cup of lemon juice; cool and pour into a wide-neck bottle and dilute, according to ones taste.
 Now for the little things: Have a big sheet of brown paper folded to fit the top of the basket. This is to be the tablecIoth. A supply of paper napkins, a few paper plates, some drinking cups, knives and forks, and spoons.
 Fill in the chinl5s of the basket with bottles of olives, pickles, box of sardines and if children are in the party put in a few crackers.
 Best wishes.

bread cut into thin slices and then diagonally, to make two triangles out of each piece. Place in the oven to dry slowly and brown. While toast ing, prepare some grated cheese with milk. To one cup of milk add half a cup of cheese. Heat thoroughly, add a little salt, pepper and red pep per if liked. Put a large tablespoon of the cheese between two tri- angles of bread and serve at once.
 This is a recipe for Belgian Ginger bread: Half pound of cornmeal. quar- ter pound of butter, quarter pound of white sugar, one or two eggs, half an ounce of ginger powder. Work all the ingredients together on marble slab to get the paste all of the same consistency. Make it into balls as big as walnuts, 1attening them slightly before putting them in the oven. This sort of gingerbread keeps very well.
 Pare cucumbers and cut them lengthwise in half-inch slices. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, dip them in the fine crumbs, beaten egg and crumbs again, and fry them in a basket in deep fat. Serve hot.
 Best wishes for all.

HULLo!

By the late Sam Walter FOss. When you see a man ln woe, Walk straight up and say 'Hullo!' Say "HullO" and How dye do? How's the world been using yOu" Slap the fellow on his back, Bring your hand down with a whack Waltz straight up and don't go slow Shake his hand and say, "HulIo!' Is he clothed in rags? Oh, ho. Walk straight up and say 'Hullo. Rags are but a cotton roll Just for wrapping up a soul; And @ soul is worth a true Hale and hearty How dye dO?" Don't wait for the crowd to go, Walk straight up and say "Hullo!" When big vessels meet, they say, They salute and sail away; Just the same as you and me, Lonely ships upon the sea, Each one sailing his own jog, For a port beyond the fog; Let your speaking trumpet blow, Lift your horn and cry ''Hullo!" Say "Hullo" and How dye do?" Other folks are good as you. When you leave your house of clay Wandering in the far away, When you travel through the strange Country far beyond the range, Then the souls you've cheered vii
 know Who you be, and say "Hullo!"

Dear Friends of the Social Corner: Did you know that you had an inter ested reader of your Corner away up here in North Dakota? I can hardly call myself a member, as I have not written letters, but I have read all the letters with interest. It is a far cry from Norwich to North Dakota, but I can see, as in picture, the streets of your beautiful city, and the walk we used often to take summer evenings, under the grand old trees, up to the Falls. I wonder if the lau- rel still grows there in such great, beautiful bushes?
 And my earliest home was in South Coventry, at the foot of the hill where the Hale monument stands, on the shore of the lake where you go for your annual outing. So I know all about the beautiful things you see, and feel interested in hearing all about tbem.
 wonder what you would think of the place which is now my home. can stand in front of the house, and in front and behind me, and at the right and left, the level land stretches away without a break until it meets the horizon.
 Tn two places, a small point, hardly large enough to show against the sky line, marks the home of a neighbor, and there are several families within three or four miles. But as long as the present way of farming continues, there will be no near neighbOrs. Each farmers wants three-quarter sections, at least and each contains 160 acres of land. He uses one for his home and his buildings and to blow and plant, another for pasture for his stock, and the other to cut hay from, for the winters feed. If he cannot buy them all, he tries to rent part of them from someone who moves to town. As each section is a mile square, neigh bors are far apart. There is no chance to run in" for an hours chat with friend-a visit is an event, and 1t is usually a days work.
 Now I must stop, or I shall find the waste basket ready for my letter But if this finds a kind reception, perhaps I will come again.
 I hope you will accept me as a far away sister, from
 NORTH DAKOTA.
