TWO FOLLY PTcNIcs.

Dear Social Corner Friends: It may be a little late to write about Aunt Mary picnic, but better late than never, SC here goes. Once when 1 wish to take the Central Village car and asked the con ductor what time it left Franklin square one informed me it left at o'clock but when I went to take it found It left at quarter before 9, so the morning wished to go to Bishops Crossing to go to Aunt Mary's wondered when the car left and was informed there was no car. So l thought no picnic for me today; but just then Olga appeared on the scene and some one suggested steam cars to Jewett City. from there take a chance of getting jitney. We had just time to get on board when the train started. Two other members saw us going and said Where thou goest, we go'' At Jewett City an other member joined us. and we found 9 jitney to take us the rest of the way.
 We rather surprised our friends getting there so early. but they brought out some old fashioned chairs and we were very comfortable resting before the others came. Have you ever been to Aunt Mary's? A grand old fashioned house and an ideal place for picnic. The grounds are shaded by the most beautiful trees all the day long, and such a lovely breeze. I think Aunt Mary very kind to have the members of the Social Corner meet with her. She and her nieces served her guests with hot tea or coffee, as it was abasket lunch picnic. After lunch, music and singing, with Joan at the piano. Have you ever seen the dear little Barbara? The sweetest little curly hair doll of girl you ever saw think Aunt Mary will miss her when she has to go away. Think Inez was the belle of the ball. as she sat in state in the big arm chair with her subjects around her trying to make her comfortable. We were pleased to have her with us. Chauffeur and the Tone man" very kindly took Inez or she could not have gone, she tells me. Too quickly the day passed. Chickadeedee took Aunty No l, Olga, a friend and my self down to Norwich in her lovely car and we parted, each one saying Haven't we had good tine?' Thanks to Aunt Mary
 Very few members of Club No 3 were at our meeting at Buckingham Memorial Aug. 4th. but there were visitors from Wliiimantic, Plainteld, Jewett City, Pa chaug and other places. The company was made up of boys and girls of differ ent sizes and ages. The youngest dear baby boy less than a year old the oldest young elderly lady S1 years of age. We had our usual fine picnic dinner Aunt Mary, Scottie, Nellie Bly, were hostesses with Saturday Eve helping. The great attraction of the dinner was Grandma IFS birthday cake given her by Aunt Mary, being her birthday one day ahead of Aunt Mary The cake was cut and served, each one having a piece It was fine, very much like a wedding cake After, the tables removed. Saturday Eve gathered up the crumbs, and with Joan playing Grandma H and Aunt Mary led the grand march. Then fancy dancing by Olga and Nelly By. Olga tips the scales at a little over go but we don't mind, as one can never have too much of anything that is good. Sister Crary (fergotten her pen name) helped us to have a good time. We surely had a jolly good time but missed many that are usually there. Glad to have so many from out of town. Come again.
 WURDY.
