SOMETHING GOOD.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There is never no end to recipes, neither is tlere to appetites:
 Cold CornnreaI Mush Pudding: One half cup cornmeal. one pint milk. two cups cold cornmeal, cne-haif cup mo- lasses, one egg, one cup new green apples which have been put through food chopper. After cooking one and one-half hours another cup of milk should be added.
 WheatIess Gingerbread: One-haf cup granulated sugar. one-third cup shortening, one egg, ene-haH cup bak- ing molasses, one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one teaspoon gin ger, one cup hot water. one teaspoon soda (slightly heaping) dissolved in hot water, one cup barley flour. one half cup corn flour. one-haf cup rolled oats, one half teaspoon salt. Mix in the order given.
 Cinnamon Toast: When wondering what little tidbit to serve with the af- ternoon tea or chocolate try cinnamon toast: Cut bread rather thin. trim off the crusts and cut in two diagonally and toast rich brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, put in the oven for moment, until the but ter and seasoning soaks in. Serve immediately, piled up on- Q hot plate.

AUGUST MEETING OF CLUB N 3.

Dear Cornerites: It is too hot to ca much else than sit in the shade and keep cool, if possible. 1 am very busy canning string beans today, and I pre- sun1e some of the Sisters are doing the same. not in the shade, either
 have not b~en able to attend any of the picnics except those of Club No. 3 and Biddy's. as had no way of getting there. As Club No. holds their meetings next door to where I live, have no excuse for not attending, and We certainly do have good times.
 The next meeting of Club No. will be held August 2fst, at Lebanon Bap- tist chapel hope all who can win attend
 We have quite a few new writers, who are very welcome The more the nierrier
 c. E. S.: Shall try to attend your picnic if possible.
 Sailor Boy: Glad you decided to write. Come again. Your description was good.
 Chore Boy: How's fishing? Hope the fish you and K caught, didn't make you sick. Your auto was just the thing for the occasion. Was it Ford? What become of my double, Peggy Anne, No. 2?
 M1randy: Hope you and the other Sisters who want to come by either trolley or steam cars will send me word, or telephone me will try to get some one to convey them to our place of meeting. It will probably cost not less than 25 cents each way for trans portation. The people who drive from | Willimantic will find it nearer to come by the way of Village Hill. It is a straight road to the meeting house. A few more of the boys of our Cor ner Sisters have been called into Uncle Sam's service. and know how hard l it must be for the Sisters to let them | go. Sisters, send your boys names to the editor to be placed on tho Roll of | Honor. 1 have no son in the service but have a young brother in Jaw, who 1 went across to France the first o1 March.
 Joe's Brother: I like your letters very much. I wonder if we are ac. quainted.
 Best wishes to all
