AT WILDWOOD PARK.

Dear Social Corner Folks: July 14 was some day at Wildwood Park and quite a number gathered in spite of hot weather, having etc, coming from New London, Norwich, Franklin, Putnam, Danielson, Plainfield and various other places com ing by car and auto and one getting so excited she started to walk from Dan ielson-some five miles, Some brought their children; one a grandchild Aunt Mary brought nieces and a grandniece from the far west; and one sister brought her husband-just one lone man.
 There were lots of good eats and plen- ty of cool drinAs-but the toboggan slide and the boats looked lonely
 The park has natural attractions and the pavilion is roomy and comforta ble- if there were toilet rooms. The man and woman in charge are pleasant. This was my fourth Corner picnic since I become a member.
 The week before I met Dearie on the car coming to visit a cousin in Plain field. She is not in good health this sum- mer
 Saturday, the 17th, the Plainfeld Con- gregational Sunday school went to Mo- began Park, the young lady and the small boy representing our family and the small boy had the surprise of his life when the monkey stole his soda and drank it up.
 I hope I can get to Aunt Marys pie nic when it comes also to Buckingham Memorial for just a few minutes.
 I would try again if I thought anyone would come but my first attempt discour- aged me.

WHEN ANYONE PAINTS.

Dear Social Corner Friends: Just a few lines tonight as l have few spare moments to utilie in some way, so will try to give some advice to others that may be of some use at some future day.
 Is there anything more alarming to you than to see anyone faint? It usually makes the average person feel very help less and afraid to try any way to revive the patient as they are afraid they will do the wrong thing.
 Painting is usually caused by lack of blood in the brain, brought on by intense fatigue nervous shock, extreme fright or very severe pain. Loosen the cloth ing, especially about the neck, so that the throat will not be constricted by pressure. Then sprinkle little cold wa ter on the forehead and hold bottle of smelling salts to the nose and as soon as possible give a teaspoon of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a third of a glass Of water. If you have not the aromatic spirits of ammonia, a cup of black hot coffee is also an excellent restorative when the patient can swallow.
 When you see a person unconscious and the face is flushed the attack Is something more serious than a faint and shuld be treated very differently. doc tor should be sent for withut delay, for in all probability this is apopley which
  sufferer on the back and raise the head and shoulders with a thick pillow and ap- ply a cloth wet with cold water or pound ed ice wrapped in a cloth to the head. Do not give any kind of stimulant for in this condition it does more harm than good.
 In 'hot weather an unconsciouS cordi- ton is due to sunstroke sometin1e\- ~. is differs from an ordinary faint in that the skin is intensely hot and dry and there is a very high temperature, the eyes are bloodshot and the pulse rapid and weak. It is exceedingly dangerous and minutes are important in this con- dition.
 First get the sufferer in the shade and then send for a doctor at once. Raise the patients head and loosen the cloth ing from the neck and chest and dash cold water on the skin and put cracked ice on top of the head and continue this treatment until the physician arrives,
 Yours truly,

DELICIOUS FRUIT ICE, FRAPPE
 AND SHERBET RECIPES.

DELICIOUS FRUIT ICE, FRAPPE
 AND sHERBET RECIPES.
 Dear Social Corner Friends I know you will find the following recipes sea- sonable and delicious:
 Peach Ice-Press ripe peaches through sieve and to one quart of peach pulp add the juice of one lemon and one orange. Boil one and one-half cups sugar with one-haf cup water two or three minutes cool and add to fruit. Freeze as usual.
 Lemon Ice-Boil one quart water and two cups sugar seven or eight minutes. Add three-quarters cup strained lemon juice, cool. strain again if necessary, and freeze, using three parts ice to one part salt.
 Orange Ics-Boil one quart water and two cups sugar seven or eight minutes. Add two cups orange juice, the juice of one lemon and a little grated orange rind. Care should be taken to remove only the outside (the thin yellow coat ing) from the rind. Cool and freeze, us ing three parts ice to one part salt.
 Raspberry Iee-Sprinkle with one cup sugar one quart raspberries which have been picked over and rinsed gently with cold water Cover and let stand for two or three hours. Mash and strain, add one cup water and little lemon juice and freeze. A little lemon juice improves all fruit ices, since it seems to develop the flavor of the other fruit.
 Pineapple Frsppe-Boil one cup sugar with two cups water Is minutes. Add one can shredded pineapple, one-half cup of lemon juice and two cups cold water Strain and freeze to a nnush, using equal parts ice and salt.
 Currant Ice-Pick over stem and wash one quart ripe red entrants. Mash. add two cups hot water and bring slowly to boiling point. Then boiler gently un- til soft Strain, add two cups sugar and stir until sugar melts. Cool and freeze.

INFORMATION WANTED ON CAN
 MING STRING BEANS,

Social Corner Sisters: Last year New York Girl of the Social Corner sent her way of canning string beans to The Bulletin and it seemed such an easy way and as it was too late to try 1t, l saved fhe receipt and want to use it this year. Will she be little more definite phase for my benefit? She said to flll the jars after beans were in them with hot salt water How salt? How much salt to one quart of water? and what sized jar, quart or pint should the one tablespoon of vinegar be added to?
 Please try my way of canning peaches and pears if you do not do yours the same way For the peaches allow one quart of sugar to every three quarts or peaches After they are peeled and ston- ed you can allow four quarts to one. quart of sugar and sweeten more when used of sugar is scarce, Prepart the peaches the day before. Sprinkle the sugar over them let stand until morning, when you will find ample syrup to cook them in l usually have more than wanted, so bottle and seal it and use in the winter to cook apples in for apple sauce and so do not have to use any sugar for apple sauce or, I use the syrup on griddle cakes. l pare my peaches, or pears after supper. The next morning set them over the fire as We are sitting down to breakfast and they are done as soon as We are So I fill my jars and do all the dishes up together and it is out of the way early while it is cool.
 The pears Are prepared the same way only I use one pine apple run through the meat chopper and little less sugar, four quarts to one of sugar, letting them stand over night to form the syrup and using no water with either. They are much richer and finer flavor than where you use water.
 I was much amused with the sisters letter in last Saturdays Bulletin, and like her, wondered where the place could be we were invited to hold a picnic, and am still wondering. Was very much disap- pointed not to be able to meet with you all at Wildwood Park and so sorry to miss the nice auto ride which Chauffeur offered me. Thanks for same and trust l shall be able to be with you all at Aunt Mary's, the 18th.
 Best wishes for the Social Corner and all it's members.

AN ENJOYABLE TIME AT WILD
 WOOD PARK


 Dear Social Corner Sisters: The wealth CT didn't look very favorable the morn kS of July 14th, but Joan and myself started for Wildwood Park. At Bishops crossing, Aunt Mary, with her friends, joined us. Her greeting was, "Is it go- ing to rain? But never mind, we will have a good time, as we will take it with us" Surely it would be no other way with Aunt Mary in the party The crimson and pink ramblers by the way side, miles of white pond lilies covering the pond on both sides Of the track, and fields of yellow daisies all so pretty, made the ride very pleasant We arriv- ed safely and had time to look around before our hostess came. The odor from the pines was delightful. The scenery around the lake is grand. I wondered which hill was the sunken mountain, and which the one Weeno was on when she waited for the dusky chief she sailed away with to the happy hunting ground far beyond the setting sun.
 Etta Barber and her son came soon after we did, and we began to think we were to be the only ones at the picnic but after long time Git seemed to us), Saturday Eve (our hostess), came with apologies for being so late. Later a merry party sat the tables passing their boxes of food to each other Our host esses, Saturday Eve, Primrose, Twice Twenty, and Kejiah Doolittle, were love- ly, serving each one with their favorite drink. I think ginger ale was the fa- vorite. After the lunch there was more merry making. Joan and I left on an early car to call on friends"of ye olden time" in Central Village, leaving there at quarter of four standard time, and arriving in Norwich at quarter of six, new time, after having had a pleasant outing, and an enjoyable picnic at Wild wood Park Thank you for the invita- tion, Club No. 4. Hope we may meet again.

CREAM PRUNE PIE.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: I am sending in a recipe that I hope some one will try. and find as delicious as we do.
 Cream Prune Pie-Wash thoroughly one pound of prunes, cover with cold water and soak over night. In the morn ing put into double boiler, adding more water if necessary to cover them, and simmer slowly till tender. Stone and rub through colander and add enough juice to moisten. To each cup of pulp allow one cup of cream (milk will dol, yolks of two eggs, well beaten, with one-half cup su- gar. Line pan with nice crust, fill with this mixture and bake in moderate oven Frost with whites of two eggs whipped stiff with two tablespoons sugar. THE WILLOWS. a

edges of the triangle are the same length. Make crease. Measure off the width the bands are to be and draw lines with a yardstick and tailor's chalk. Mark off as many bands as needed before cutting. Cut on the marks carefully, as the least change will throw the bands off the true bias.
 For basting I use so thread. For heavy wool goods I think it best to use 40 or 50. For silk or velvet a fine thread so it will not mark the goods. In pull ing out basting never try to pull the en- tire length of thread; cut it every few stitches.
 Use a blade of a safety razor to rip with.
 When making a silk dress stitch a crescent shaped piece under the arm. It will wear longer and when the outside wears out it looks heater than a patch.
 have made me a pad about four times the size of an ironing h,Nler. to keep to iron shirts and shirt waists, with buttons, etc. Lay the shirt bottom-side down on the pad, and iron, when through. place pad in the ironing board and it is always handy.
 For alarming table linen, sheets, and garments of all kinds, get a small en1- broidery hoop, take the presser-foot off the machine and lengthen the stitch. put the smaller hoop on the right side of the material, the other on the wrong side Darn on right side by holding hoop with both hands and moving backward and forward as you stitch. If the hole is a |. large one, haste piece of coarse ent under it first.
 Wrile iron is hot after ironing, if you have any patterns that need pressing, run over your paper patterns that have been used and may be wanted again. It takes but a few minutes, and the con- venfence of having smooth patterns makes it well worth doing; besides the cutting of cloth is much easier and more accurate.
 l should have written in my letter con- corning the length of curtains for the sleeping room that I made the length correspond to the sill. while for the sit ting room window below the sill. KITTY LOU

A sunRr VACATION.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is long time since I have sent a word of greet ing to you but 1 have read your letters and enjoyed them as usual 1 have hao a short vaaction and wish l had some experiences of travel to report but haven't so much as a trolley ride to de- scribe as my vacation was spent right at home. In spite of that l considered 1t vacation as there was something or change in it. You see one day after a delicious chicken dinner the good man of the house put Bessie our faithful horse, into the newly painted top buggy and started for four days visit with his brothers and sister some twenty miles distant while I remained at home in charge of the place, also the hens, Ned the cat and last, but not least, Jack the precious dog. The moment Obadiah and Bessie were out of sight 1 felt re- lieved not because there had been family quarrel or any unpleasantness' but for one thing because there was no longer a horse in the barn. For four blessed nights I could repose with both eyes shut, not listening to various sounds from that nearby barn and straining my ears to distinguish, if pos sible, whether the noises were merely such as would be made by stamping to induce flies to relax their too asslduous attentions or whether they were caused by Bessie moving about the barn floor (she possibly having relieved herself of the encumbrance of halter) or those dread noises that indicate an attack Of indigestion or collie. So l felt sweet relaxation steal over my tired nerves such as many of you sisters can doubt less appreciate.
 About thirty minutes after the depar- ture of Obadiah and Bessie I was start led by a crash in the yard. One of the loftiest limbs on my centuryold elm had decided to come down now that the mas ter had departed. It exactly filled the turn in the road, leaving not a foot of space for man or car. It had not looked large up wonder but on terra fr1na how it did spread out. I might have been up- set by this novel kind of road filling had

WHAT THE VEGETABLES ARE Do-
 ING.

My Social Corner Friends: As this is the time of year when most every one is interested in their own garden or that of some one else, it seems good time to send in some Garden Topics which are not just for the farmers, but for every one who uses vegetables.
 At first it looked as though the beets were going to pass everything in the garden, but later the cabbage came out ahead. The cucumbers ran well, but the corn got up on it's ear, the same as usual, and stalked away. The carrots were in a stew. the tomatoes were in the soup. and it brought tears to the eyes of tbe potatoes to see the onions in such q pickle The peas got up quite a wrinkle, the pie plant was going to des- sert, but there proved to be an astonish- ing amount of snap in the beans.
 There was some trouble in the garden. Bad weeds came up after plantain A few tender young plants had to leave CT account of the weather. but the throuzhvort stood its ground to the bit ter end. The horseradish suffered for its great strength when it came in contact with grater. The celery was seen to bianch when the news began to leek out that the egg plant was a failure. Our feelings were somewhat excited to see the cowsItp an alone in the meadow, but our nerves were wrought up to the high est pitch when we saw the bu1rush right in the middle of the garden.
 "Ieftuce not wait for good luck to turnor." said the sage of the garden Thereupon asparagus made quick start. 6andefion was next in the spring, rsdish was up in good time. but catnip remained in it's bed Muslxnelon made D uE1 bus wa<8me1cnsaunaaze6st tesha
