IS NAMES ARE SOUGHT
FOR LIFE MEMDERSK|P
Special Roll in City Club Nears
the 100 -Mark--Next Meeting
on December II.

Only fifteen more names are needed
to complete the roll of 100 life MEM
bers in the City Club. according to an
announcement made today by George
w. Harris, chairman of the life mem
bership committee eighty-five persons
have already applied for life MEM
bership in the organization.
1t was announced last night at a
meeting of the committee that the
100 members would probably be OBJ
tanned by the next general meeting of
the club. to be held on the night of
December II in the Willard Hotel
ballroom.
Privileges for Rest of Life.
The committee has exerted prac-
tioaily no effort in obtaining the
eiShty-five names now on the life
mem bership application roll" said Mr.
Harris today THE names have Just
rolled in. so eager have been the per-
sons to get life memberships while
the opportunity lasted. They realize
that the life memberships represent
a good. sound investment, as good as
life insurance policy.
For the payment of $1,000 a member
gets all of the privileges of the club
for the rest of his life without fur
ther payment of dues or other items
Of expense. Then when he dies the
$1,000 is returned to his estate. 1t
sounds like dream, and that is eX-
actly why the memberships are GO
ing so fast"
The present life memberships prob
ably will be the only life member
ships ever to be offered by the club.
and Mr.. Harris has warned those per-
sons who are anxious to possess them
to hle their applications at once
Mostly Active Members.
The applications will be acted upon
IN the order in which they are filed
Most of the applicants for life mem
bers are at present active members
OF the club, but a few of the applica-
tions are from entire outsiders.
Mr.. Harris believes that the life
membership roll will be practically
competed at the next meeting of the
committee. to be held at $50 O'Clock
next Wednesday evening at the club
house. Dinner will be served preced-
ing the business session

NELLIE sLYs PICNIC.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I want to tell you about Nellie Bly's picnic, Blossom and I started to walk to town as there was no trolley We had gone but short distance when it be- gan to pour. We took shelter under an awning hoping and expecting it would slack. up. It did for a very short time and we started again. at the same time on the lookout for a jitney. At last one hove in sight. By this time-it was raining as hard as ever. We waded through water over our rubberS, got in and rode as far as the square.
 There we were to meet other Social Cornerites. Belle was the fir-t to ap- pear: she kindly volunteered to find someone to take us over to the pie nic; while she. was. gone others ar rived till there were six. That we thought was too many for a five-pas- senger car: however. the man agreed to take us all. It was rather crowded bat we made the best of it. and had some fun on the way Before we got to the West Side there was another Social CorRerite added to our load; !; but we got there all right and had a hearty greeting from our hostess.
 After a little social time we were called to the dining room where the odor of a delicious clam chowder greeted our nostrils and the table loaded with good things was in evil cheese and pie. There was tea and coffee and we all did ample justice to it. Then we adjourned to the parlor where Blossom presided at the piano. Several songs were sung and a duet by Blossom and Vie. recitation by Belle which was. very much enjoyed, also very amusing story about herself and friend. Then a friend of our hostess played several selections. All exchanged our different experiences in different lines till time for US to return home.
 I would ask all the Social Corner Sisters to watch The Bulletin close for the notice of our next gathering. Tf.n keep it in mind. as it is undecid- ed where it will be held.
 Yours for the Corner.

PRACTICAL POLLY VISITS HuJDA

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Perhaps you would like to hear about my visit with Hulda in her new home. We started by auto the third of July. one of those extremely hot days; and we went by the way of Providence, and then on to Brockton. where l left the rest of the party.
 The towns and villages through which we passed were made beautiful by the roses. The ramblers were at their best, and the pink and crimson blossoms covered arches, arbors and long walls. and made the most humble home attractive

THE BUSY BERRY SEASON.

Dear Social Corner Friends: The busy berry season is here and those of you who dc not understand pre- serving fruit will be glad to learn These are the methods of canning berries:
 HuckIeberries and Riueberries with out sugar: Wash. and scald jars pick over berries and fill jars full. Shake the jars. and the berries will settle. Put in all the berries you can, but don't press then in- Fill the jars with cold Let water boil perhaps half an hour. The water may. not fill the jars when they are cooked. in which case take or covers and fill with water that has been boiled. Put on covers, snap down wires and set jars away to cool When ready to use, if for pies. I pour off part of water and use like fresh berries. If wanted for sauce. just stir in sugar to taste and let stand an hour before using. I never lost jar put up in this way.

KEEPING COOL IN HOT
 WEATHER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Sitting upon the piazza and using fan is not the way to keep cool.
 One must be careful what she eats, and not think she is too hot to live. Hot thoughts make no one cool.
 Subsist largely upon fruit and ig- nore fats of all kinds. Meat upon a hot day is adding coals toD the fire.
 Cool drinks and cool food form good summer fare.
 Heavy foods which require cooking should he dispensed with-both out of mercy to the cook and out Of consid- eration for the family health For breakfast use tapioca,- or gelatine cooked with fruit and served cold with cream. Rice wheat, barley crystals mad shredded wheat are all good served cold with cream.
 On the hottest mornings serve iced coffee. chocolate or" lemonade in stead of a hot drink. A cereal, fruit. toast and a beverage should furnish the breakfast in hot weath ther.
 For luncheon or dinner use eggs. or fish. and vegetables, and vegeta bles or fruit salads. Use plenty of greens and son.
 A little common sense will be found to be as refreshing as little cool breeze in the kitchen in July. Keep the diet and the mind cool and you will better conditions.
