BUSY AUNT MARY,

Dear Social Corner Friends: I am wishing I was on the trolley car going to Willimantic this beautiful morning to attend the May meeting of Club No. 1. but house duties and a limit of strength makes it seem best to deny myself of the pleasure of meeting with Club No. 1 this month much as I would love to be there this beautiful day. for know you will have a de- lightful time.
 I was in Central Village yesterday attending the free will offering meet ing of our local W. c. T. U. and to- morrow I must go there to our May meeting of the Lucy Webb Hayes Cir cle of the Ladies of the G. A. R.. and give report of. the state convention held in Bridgeport last week Tues day so there is not much more time to spare.
 I am very glad 1t is such beauti- full day for the meeting of Club No. 1. The first Wednesday. the iay for the meeting of Club No. 2 at Buckingham Memorial, was a very uncomfortable day: but there was goodly number present. I was unfortunate in not be : ing able to enjoy but little of the meeting as I accidentally left one of the parcels that I was carrying on tho pia tform at Bishops. and did not dis cover it until nearly to Norwich, so had to go back on the next car to find

HOW TO LAuNpER CLOTHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is a woman's job to know how to clean and do up clothes well.
 A good laundress is a master. at sprinllling her clothes evenly. Poorly or unevenly sprinkled clothes make ironing a discouraging task. Most housekeepers have whisk broom for this purpose. and of course never use for other work.
 A good laundress, too. has her own system in the order of her washing.
 The majority, however, prefer to wash the table linen first; then the bed linen; then the white clothes which are to be starched, after which the order may be varied because each week will bring it's own problems in regard to the smaller pieces But the order of these three important classi- fications, seldom changes. for this req son: the table linen requires no starching and is more easily ironed if taken down before entirely dry: this clears the clothes line, leaving it free to receive the bed linen. Naturally the white clothes are starched before the colored. and one should have sev- eral divisions of starch for these col ored. For. just as certain colors can not be washed together, neither can they be starched in the same recepta- cle.
 For voiles. dimities forgandies or any fabric which one does not want very stiff. rice starch should be used To make this. rub two tablespoons ot rice-s starch smooth in half cup ot 1 cold water, then pour it into a quart of boiling water and cook ten minutes stirring constantly. Add a pinch ot
 boraX before removing from fire. and | more water if too thick.

HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM
 LIFE

 many times we hear people say: q will forgive you. but I cannot forget Now that is not really forgiveness. is it? For if we remember, whatever the cause may be. we still hold griev- ance toward that party. whether in tentionally or not. For surely the for i giving spirit is not there. Here are a few rules for a peacefu mind and a contented life: Forget your neighbors' faults. 1 Forget all the islander you have 1 heard.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE
 THINGS,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It seems to me that great deal is miss ed in life because we do not pay enough attention to little things. In dress for instance, if one button IS off, or one string united, no matter how costly our. clothing, our whole appear ance is spoil.
 We sigh for this or that because it is beyond our means, but we do not stop to think that we can have a cheaper article and if that is kept in perfect order we should appear as 8 better dressed person than if we had the more costly one and took ordinary care of it.
 So with our housework, if we would be satisfied to do a few things well, it would count more than if we un- dertook so many, many things. l fall short of my duty many times, but if I do say it, my husband never comes home to an untidy sitting room, and his slippers are never where he can not find them.
 I know a woman who longs to have a knit bedspread She is the mother of four little children, and does her own house work She thinks she does not have the time to knit one and we cannot blame her: but we can al ways have the things we want bad enough, and if this woman will knit two or three rows a day, I am sure she could find opportunity for that and in time she might have the much desired spread.
 I think it would be well for all of us to take account of ourselves and think of the things we want bad enough to wait for, and then make uI our minds to work little at time
 and to wait patiently until we earn ! them.
 Some of The Social Corner Sisters 1 have asked how the different one< 1 choose their pen name, so l will te! l how to chose mine.
 1 There is a riddle, Eliza, Elizabeth , Betsy, and Bess. Went over the river | to find a birds nest, They found tht
 nest with five eggs in it, they~ leach tool 1 one and left four. You've all hearC 1 the answer The four names art i supposed to he one name. My name i
 among the four so I chose Betse! ] and put my middle name, Bray, witt i it. So l consider I write under m! 1 own name, yet few people rccogniz i me.

DIANA ENJOYS THE FARMER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: How do you do? Yes. I will come in and chat a few minutes I do enjoy your social letters and like to read the recipes: and my sister tests them and likes them
 I very much enjoy the Farmers talk, and especially when he was speaking on the city peoples criticisms on the price Of milk Milk is a good price, but the most of the producers will never get rich, and some of your readers will stare when I say the farmer is not paid enough for his milk. He sells it, on the people in our neighborhood sell it, for seven cents a quart at the door, It is taken and sterilized and pasturized and sold for the price that city people pay. sixteen and eigh- teen cents a quart. There is too much difference between the producer and the consumer, but if the buyer wants the milk to pass through the processes named, they must pay for it, but don't lay the blame on the producer.
 It is probably somewhat wefmer with you than here, for I believe your season is earlier It has been and been much planting done as yet. Still nature has donned her spring attire and looks most beautiful and would he more so if the air was warmer. A fire is very welcome these cool days
 I enjoy watching the changes in nature which would be more percepta- ble if it was warmer. The pear. cher ry, plum and peach trees are in bloom The grass is bright green because of the frequent rains, and we will trust that the fruit will not be harmed by the cool weather
 I wish to thank the Sisters who re- memhered me at Easter and on my birthday. I take this way to do it be- cause I do not know your addresses It was very kind and thoughtful of you to remember me, and I truly apre- ciate it.
 enjoy reading of your social clul meetings, and am glad you can meer and have such jolly times It will soo1 be time for out of door picnics, for think it will be warmer soon. Best wishes to all

RHUsARB IN SEASON.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I think these recipes seasonal:
 Rhubarb Pudding-Cut tender rhu- barb into small pieces and add one cup sugar to each pound of rhubarb. Place in buttered dish and cover with batter made of two well beaten eggs, one and one-fourth cups milk, four enough to make a thick batter, sifted with one teaspoon soda and two of cream tartar. pinch of salt: bake :; when done. turn out on dish so the rhubarb will be on top I sometimes beat up the white of an egg and brown sugar for the top sauce.
 Rhubarb Canned - Wash rhubarh trim the tops. but do not peel: cut into inch pieces and to one pound of rhu- barb add one cup of sugar (no water) place in double boiler and cook until almost done. then fill jars and clamp the top half way down; set in a kettle of water. cover, boil 15 minutes, then clamp tight. inyert your jar and let stand over night. I canned 100 jars last year and have fl left; and it's fla vor is delicious now. The peel imparts the fine flavor and color.
 I make my Rhubarh Sauce in the same manner.
 Rhubarb Shortcake-Mix three cups four with one teaspoon soda and two of cream tartar, one-haf teaspoon salt one egg. and add milk enough for q stiff batter. Into buttered pan place the batter, then the rhubarb, then the batter; steam 40 minutes. Serve with egg sauce. or butter and sugar.
 Rhubarb Pudding with Prunes-One cup of cooked prunes (remove stones) and one-half pint of juice of the prunes, three-fourths cup of sugar and one pound of chopped raw rhubarb Boil 10 to 15 minutes. then add one half cup of rice which has been steam ed to the above, bake 20 minutes Serve with whipped cream. Rhubarb with Tspioca Pudding Take one-half cup of tapioca and one and one-half pints of water; cook slowly until done; add three fourths cup of rhubarb. three-fourths cup ot sugar and one-half teaspoon mace This together turn into a baking dist and bake 50 minutes in a moderate oven.

Dear Friends of the Social Corner:
 Once more I'll join in chat with you.
 Perhaps you will be interested in my
 experience as a dressmaker.
 l never in my life made a dress, and
 hadn't the least idea that I could make
 one. My grandmother taught me diff ferent stitches when 1 was a very little
 girl, and sister and I used to have to sew a certain length of time every day, until we got so we could do all the diff ferent stitches well. We practiced on patchwork holders. henming clothes. | and dolls clothes. I never used a pattern as my work was always pre- pared for me.
 Several weeks ago I came to realize that my wardrobe was limited, and as lressmakers here are few and over burdened, l thought I would try mak- ] ing a dress just for sun. I purchased some very pretty figured material and a pattern my size. Next I studied i every word on that pattern and the
 cutting guide. My next move was to
Norwich bulletin., 1919-05-17

place the pattern on the ma terial and pin it securely. Then. with scissors in hand. l shipped away until the cut ting was done to every last notch With needle and black thread I placed stitches where helpful dots were indicated. and then began to baste.
 It took me three weeks to do that one dress. The sleeves were very troublesome; I took the collar off twice before I could get it to suit me: and l arranged the skirt length with the help of yardstick and a long mirror ]. I was very charita ble while I work ed and would say, Well. it will do for house dress, anyway" When com pleted, however. it looked so well I made blue tatting for trimming This l put on the cuffs. collar and sash ends.
 My success was so great that I'm going to try again. this time something quite expensive. The old saying is in deed true. 'I can't never did any thing; I'll try, has wrought wonders WINONA,

MORE THAN A FAIR SHARE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Sick ness and home duties have kept me so busy all spring that I have been una ble to meet with you. or even send a word of greeting.
 About the first of March my whole family came down with grip, two sick upstairs and one downstairs, so you see I had some steps to take to care for them alone: and about two weeks later. when they were getting around nicely my son came home from the navy for a few days visit, was taken with severe attack of grip, could not return for duty for three weeks; but now that all are we'll again shall try to be on hand for the June gathering.
