CRIMSON RAMBLER'S CAMP
 HODGSON TRIP.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: As I vas one of the lucky ones to receive an invitation to visit Camp Hodgson, thought others who didn't go might ike to hear of my sunshine day, as I -au it.
 I left Norwich for camp on the S.15 car and arrived in good season, was met at the car by yellow ribbon dele gates. After spending a, sOciabie hour with busy members of our class, din- ner was served by Aunty No. 1 and Clio. the hCstesses. who did every thing to have us enjoy very appetiZ- ing dinner: and oh. the chowder! Others can VOuch for it. as well as myself, that it was the best ever.
 There were 2S in all including Der wick Later in the day Lucy Acorn, Theoda, Mrs. Hand, Lonesome Pine and others went for a dip in the salt water just below the houseboat and such fun s they had; Lonesome Pine kept us all in roars of laughter, show ing Us how many different ways she could swim.
 We missed Bob White when the party broke up. all going to their re- spective homes.
 Married and Happy invited Lucy Acorn and myself to spend the night at her home. so we three iourneyed on to the Golden Spur and visited friends. returning to New London on the 7-3O car.

 On returning to the house we fin ished a tour of inspection. She show ed us all about her kitchenette. and explained everything explainable about her freIess cooker. which is really a thing busy housewives should jellies, jams and pickles, a goodly number of which were cooked in her frc1ess cooker. That task being fin ished we passed on to the next, an in spection of fancy work.
 I hardly know how to begin, such handsome work in orocheting, lunch sets, towels, centerpieces, silk work, all the colors, shapes and sizes and such knitting! It is impossible to de- scribe it. She is always busy at our meetings but to visit her home you surely would say she is a wonder.

FOR CAM PIERS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Food can be kept cool by evaporation. Milk in bottles or pitchers if wrapped in one or more thicknesses of wet paper and placed where the air will blow upon it will keep cool.
 Wet paper will keep butter cool and firm.
 Leftover meats and vegetables can be kept cool in similar manner. Crush the paper. wetting it thoroughly. Paper bags are excellent for the pur- pose, or any kind of wrapping paper. Then place quite a mass of this wet paper on top of the covered butter or food.
 A sheet of waxed paper Is often a better covering for food than a closed lid or saucer, and will protect it per- fectly from the wet paper.

PRACTICAL HINTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-I am sending a very interesting list of prac- tical hints.
 When Iaking starch add a few shavings from a candle; it will give such a nice gloss to the material when Tt is ironed.
 When knitting stockings it is a good idea to pour boiling water over the yarn before using it, and the stockings will not shrink afterwards.

that I originated this plan myself, and 1t is certainly a successful scheme.
 To hang skirt when you have to have it gored, and ~hans it on yourself. put .on skirt and place piece of chalk in. something firmly on the table; then 5tand where the chalk will mark your skirt just below your Lip, for all the difference is above that; then you can measure down and turn your hem.
 This is a very simple and very easy way to hang a skirt. Try it and see.
