A Rose in Bloom. by wearing full blown rose. A city by wearing g a paper heart with a picture of q ford on it would be Hartford. etc. Of course, as for plan, plenty of different ones will occur to you.

WHEN HELP WAS NEEDED.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Joan awoke one morning during my visit to her with severe headache. and after making her comfortable and getting the children off to school took an in- ventory of her larder. I found me- dium- sized head of cabbage. a dish. of stewed tomatoes, a small piece of fat pork that had been boiled with beans. a dish of canned apples. a pint of skim milk. and one banana,
 I shredded the cabbage fine and fried it slowly in bacon fat, to be served with a pepper sauce. minced the pork, and added it to the tomatoes with a little additional salt and pepper, then stirred in corn meal until the mixture could be made into croquettes, and fried them to a golden brown.
 The apples I placed in individual dishes; then sliced the bananas and beat it thoroughly into the milk, adding a tablespoon of sugar and "a tea spoon of lemon extract, and poured, it over the apples. With the addition of brown bread and butter. we had an appetizing luncheon, and not an ex- tra penny spent. ' v
 And this is the way we stopped the work of moths without taking the car : pets up:
 On parts of carpet where moths are suspected, lay a coarse towel slightly wrung out of clear water and spreading out smoothly, then place a. piece of firm wrapping paper upon the towel to keep in the steam and iron it thoroughly with a hot iron The heat and steam kills them. Repeat at any time if satisfied more have hatch ed and come out from under the base or other hiding places. This method does not iniure the carpet nor fade the colors.

UNCLE CHARLIE ON CAPE COD

ALETTER FROM DIANA.

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: Time has flown and Fourth of July is past Looking back to that date in 1918 we can hardly realize the great change that has taken place in the war situation. Uncle Sam was using every effort then to prepare for war, and we held our breath. not daring to think of what the outcome would be; but tried to respond to the different calls for aid at all times.
 The suspense of the parents who had sons in France was terrible as they read of the fierce battles that were raging, but the allied forces were composed of brave soldiers and at last defeated the Germans.
 Then came the armistiee, and our boys began to come slowly home; and now the peace treaty is signed and we can hardly control our feelings at this time we are so thankful that the war is ended, and peace assured, and that so many of our boys returned unharmed. To those who were wound ed and disabled we extend our heart felt sympathy, and also to those whose dear ones sacrificed their lives for their country. ;
 I presume you are all thinking of summer picnics and the many good times you will have together before the season is over.
 Best wishes.

 It is a pretty conceit to use decks of cards backed with outdoor scenes, l believe they are called Landscape" backs, a different scene may be used at each table. At one of these parties painted baskets filled with howers were the prizes, at another the hostess will give gayly painted garden sticks and at the third garden aprons will be given.
 Life in the open is acknowledges. to be the natural heritage of man and in these days even the rear porches of apartments have possibilities which are being utilized. They may be transformed into most. attractive cor ners with screens and alluring porch furnishings The chairs and tables of rattan are easily washed and may be kept clean and a coat of paint will freshen them in the spring Hanging baskets, flower boxes and wall recep- stacIes add much to the beauty of these open air playrooms.
 "Thimble" porch parties are much in vogue and it is astonishing how much is accomplished by these sewing coteries.

 Ethelyn-I fear under the above con- ditions you couldn't pass muster though I'd like to know yer.
 We've been a ridin' down to the Cape, and last night saw the big New York boat enter and go through Cape Cod canal. That drawbridge ris nigh onto a hundred feet into the air and went up like chain Hghtnin'! I stood starin' with mouth wide open, and Re becca poked me and says: Don't let folks know you never seen a draw bridge, a big boat afore." and she held my hand so. as I wouldn't jump off the bridge.
 We rode through wareham, Onset, Sagimore, Sandwich zsind Barnstable. We stopped z in Sandwich at a beau tiful and peaceful graveyard where a large boulder marks the grave of Joe Jefferson. Rebecca put 3 few flowers on his grave as he was the first real actor she saw.
 Barnstable is where Priscilla Null lins lived Rebecca says you women folks know all about her. About here our tire blew up and we came back.

BE A FRIEND AND HAVE FRIENDS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I once heard a prominent man say that he could count. his real friends on the fingers of one hand. At that time it anyone to say. but years of experience have changed my views, and today I believe the person who has that mum Der Of real friends is fortunate, indeed. Here are a few helpful thoughts on Friendship:
 A friend that does not cost anything is not worth anything.
 The reason we do not have more friends, is because we do not want any more, or do not know how to make them
 You can spoil a possible friendship by demanding too much for yourself, but not by demanding too much of yourself.
 A friend that cannot bear kindly crfticisn cannot bear any of friend ships real responsibilities and privi- leSes.--
 Friendship can bear anything except insincerity. In that blighting atmo- sphere it withers and dies.
 We need friends in diversity to comfort us; we need them in prosper ity to show us how little prosperity is everyday life to tighten it's drudgery; we need them in our religion to prove to us the nearness of the brotherhood.
 Here are a few ways to retain friends
 Keep your promises with them
 Share a few real troubles with them Do not expect them to be perfect any more than yourself.
 Write them a good letter every once in a while.
 Keep list of their birthdays and rem ember them.
 If you have an automobile and your friend hasn't any. give him Q ride now and then.

pea1s with another interested and pleasure.
 l It was my opportunity and delight I to attend the picnic on June 25th, with l the Social Corner Sisters and friends at Coventry Lake. This was my fourth trip to that quiet. restfuI spot. an
 ideal place for gathering of any so- 1 cial order.
 1 The weather on that day was per l feet for out-of-door pleasures As the majority of Sisters and their friends took the trolley leaving Wiilimantic t 1 1915 a. m it was then we commenced l to exchange greetings with former l acquaintances, and to meet for the I first time new faces We all enjoyed I the half hour ride (perhaps wishing 1t was a little longer) to the terminat at 1 the lakeside.
 1 As we alighted from the car, and started to walk. by twos and threes | along the shore. it appealed to me as a charming spot. the water of the flake so smooth. hardly a ripple. on the side, close to our feet. On the other | side. woods and shrubs mingled with i blossoms of Mountain Laurel and oth- | CT wild flowers. The short walk only | lasted about five minutes till we l reached the spacious pavilion, where l our party was to assemble. Everybody seemed happy and smiling. and ex- l tended to each other pleasant greet | ings of friendship and hospitality. l Other Sisters arrived till the noon hour, We had all brought bur baskets of lunch and it was time for dinner. | Through the courtesy of The BuIle- | tin Co.,. we were served hot coffee and 1 ice cream, which added another item | of good will and interest that was fully appreciated.
 Sociabiiity was the leading factor, 1 for the days outing, and it proved agreeable to exchange ideas, on vari ous topics. Much to my regret I was obliged to leave earlier than some others, so as to make train connec- tions at Willimantic. accompanied with another Sister. As we were say beginning for a programme of music, and we retired, wishing them the full pleasures of the day, and feeling that the effort and time spent, to be pres ent at this picnic which was equal to our anticipationS, was well spent. Probably many Sisters and friends of the Social Corner have never found it convenient to visit the lake at Gov entry; but those who have been there twill agree that it is a pretty place for a social gathering, with a variety of pleasures. One may stroll in the woods, walk by the lakeside or take Ia boat trip around the lake, which af- lords glimpses of the many cottages hid among the trees. on all sides.
 A small island in the lake lends beauty to the scene.
 Hoping we shall have many more pleasant gatherings in the future, as we have in the past, which finger as memories of happy days.
 |: Greetings to all.
