rnE GIRL WITH TIE REp TAM,

Dear Friends of The Social Corner: May I join your busy circle to speak my piece" on a little matter? Per haps my ancestors were French, I mo- tire something which American moth ers see into regard with indifference, but which to me appears very seri- ous.
 As an example. the other night I was attracted. while riding in trolley car, by. two pretty girls, one in particular with dark eyes and hair, red cheeks and a fine figure. well set off by her stylish clothes. Evidently from their conversation. the girls were setting od for some week end visit-and that was a mark of both, they talked so loud that few in the whole car were unaware that they were passengers. The dsrk-eyed one wore a saucy plush tam, very becoming; she rather took the lead. in audible comments upon every persons appearance as nfen and wpsnen left or entered. s..e sang stanzzs of popular songs.

BOILED DINNERS VS. PACKAGE
 FOOD

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: have returned recently from a vacation spent with some relatives in a country place about twenty miles from Norwich and the two weeks there gave me number of ideas which I want to pass along.
 For instance. where can person go and find more substantial. .nourish-
 ing daily food than is that prepared and served in a typical New England home? l thought of that while visiting
 on my way back, with city friend. Let me make this difference plain by contrast. For example. my city friend 1 who lives in an imposing neighborhood, puts on lots of style. sets a fine look ing table. etc. will buy at delica- lessen store for her evening meal may
 be some cold sliced meat. potato sal ads bakers bread, waters or package l cake, canned fruit or jelly. and with | these tea or cocoa must form the meal.
 As you see. it Is far from substantial CT filling. Indeed. used to feel more ! hungry when I got up from the table | sometimes than when I sat down. (Not
 one of the Social Corner Sisters knows | my city friend. so this is not tattling, but is taken as an average case.) Oh, but in the country it was so diff
 9erent. Our breakfasts were so good md substantial, there would be a boiled New England dinner at mid | lay. or a solid meal of maybe potted beef, baked fresh ham, dried beef, baked sausages, with of course all the | nice fresh country vegetables. At night there might be some of the meat | cut off cold. hot fried or creaned po- l eatoes or possibly baked ones, good homemade. bread which was meal in | itself. home done preserves. plain but 1 delicious, homemade cake, or cookies, l you had meal like that you had l something to dream ou-and of!
 | There never was anything better | than the way the women of early New I England. learned to make good sub | stautial meals out of the things at l hand, learning with wonderful re- sourcefulness to apply the ideas of the l ndlan women in such matters as mak- l ing succotash, in bakine brown bread
 md beans. getting up such plain but | good desserts as Indian pudding, i brown Betty. apple dumplings and all 1 he other good things which these
 ;I1illed housekeepers knew so well how
 to make. In those homes where the
 )ld rule of such, cooks still obtains
 there should be health as well as hap | oiness; but as to the package food diet
 # so many city homes, bah! No won
 der, every second house in some city
 hiocks has the sign of a doctor or a
 dentist on it Don't you pity the poo,

 As it is getting along toward Christ mas time I think it would be nice to have some suggestions of what to make and how, don't you?

CAMBRIDGE FAIR OPENED
WITH BAD WEATHER

Splendid Fair This Year, Ard Every
thing Points TO Very Successful
Season-Exhibits Are Fine-At-
tendance Expected to be Large If
Weather Clears-Boat From Bal
timore to Bring Large Crowd.
The Cambridge Fair opened this
morning and despite the rainy and
threatening weather, there was a
fairly good-sized crowd in Cam
bridge. Had the day been good, it
is believed that the attendance would
have exceeded that Of any prvious
opening Fair day in the county.
Out on the grounds all is in readi-
ness for the crowd; the exhibition
hall is crowded with exhibits Of all
kinds, some persons stating that new
er before in the history of Fairs in
this county have the booths been so
attractiyely arranged as they arr
for the present Fair.
The Midway is all that the most
discriminating could ask for; there
are all kind sof attractions, and the
very fact that the series of attrac-
lions offered have, during the past
few months, been used at a number
of church carnivals, would seem to
indicate that it is the class of en-
tertainment that the public may safe
ly patronize.
The exhibits Of automobiles, ma
chinery of all kinds, cattle, sheep,
hogs, etc., are sure to attract favor
able attention.
There are more horses he1e for the
races than have ever attended any
previous event of the kind in Cam
bridge, and, as is usually the case, at
the opening of the Fairs, there is
sure to be some very exciting events.
There will be motorcycle races, au
tomobile races, motorcycle and auto
mobile races. There is Llenty OF
good music, in fact, there is every
thing to make a successful Fair.
1t is believed that the business
houses of the city will make ar
rangements to let their employees OFF
one afternoon during the Fair; this
has been customary each year, and
it is quite certain that this year will
be no exception. This paper will GO
to press Thursday at twelve o'clock,
noon, i'll order that those connected
with it may have the afternoon off to
attend the Fair. The inside forms
will be closed at; ten o'clock, and all
persons desiring change of adver'
tisement should have the change
down the evening before.
The Fair will be open at night, al
four nights.

kept plugging along until their eff
