THE ANNUAL JUNE PICNIC.

Dear Corner Friends: I was surprised not to see an account of our annual June gathering of all the clubs at Remember Mes and so for the benefit of the ab-' sent ones, I will say we had ideal wealth er It was one of those days Lowell so grandly terms as, tso rare as a day in June: then, if ever, come perfect days" that found the Social Corner Sisters vending their way by any and every available conveyance, or on foot, from every direction to the beautiful home of our hostess. have not heard the cor rect number but there were nearly one hundred coming from Mansfield, Coven- try. Andoyer, Columbia, Wiilimantic, Windham, Scotland, Lebanon, Franklin, Bozrah, Yantic Norwich, JeWett City, Mystic and New York city.
 The spacious yeranda was soon full and animated groups were scattered over the lawn, exchanging greetings and dis cussing topics of interest or importance, or exchanging the latest pattern in cro- chet or tatting. Soon the noon hour ar rived and our famished appetites were appeased by the variety of salads, baked beans, sandwiches, pickles, cheese. cake, cookies and coffee that had been pre- pared by the sisters. Full justice was done to all the tempting viands. The af- ternoon was spent in merry round of chatter and laughter while some strolled- into the music room 10 ISlen 10 the S"feu strains from piano or iYctrola, and some, of the younger ones amused themselves with croquet or otherwise.
 As the afternoon was drawing to a close, one by one began to take their leave, till but a few were left waiting to be called for. So as we journeyed on toward our homes @e felt as if another red-letter -day-a day full of pleasant memories and happy thought-had been recorded in the annals of our Social Cor ner activities. We are very grateful to our hostess for all the hard work and all that was done to give us such a pleas ant outing and place for our annual pic nic It has occurred to me since, that if it should be our good fortune to meet there for our annual picnic another year, to have a committee from each club help get the food ready and assist in serving 1t, thereby helping to tighten the work and responsibility of our kind hostesss
 There were many familiar faces we missed that always bring so much mirth ard sunshine that the circle never seems quite complete without them. and many new writers we would have been glad to have met

A rTKELBss COOKER.

Dear Social Cornefibes: One or two of the sisters has made reference to the use of flreIess cookers and I wish to add my testimony.
 The simplicity and economy Of gfeless cooking should especially recommend .it- self to the woman who prefers to person ally undertake the household cooking. or to the one who. probably finding 1t 8 strenuous task under present conditions to make both ends meet. feels 1t her duty to dispense with help and assume all her own household cares. To these women the hreless cooker will be a revela- ton.
 It's use means Inc non-sfrrinkage or non-evararztion of the feed when ceoA- ing; a better quality after cooking; saving of the fuel bill; saving of la- bor; and when 1t comes to the saving of time, vell- After the meal has been placed in the cooker the housewife can go of to ehurch, or go calling, or walk ing, or driving, with the comforting as- suraHce, that an VII De ven with the dinner on her return.

These exn ail be cooked in different compartments of the hreiess cooker at the sane time, with no trouble other than the preliminary prenaration. which consists of bringing them to the boiling point on any kind of stove, add ing salt. then placing tkesn in tl1e cook CT. Just now there is a widespread ad- vocacy of slow cooking as a means of getting the best nutritive values out of cooked food. Slow cooking, however. under the ordinary. methods would be of necessity a somewhat tedious process but with the use of the freiess cooker slow cooking reaches it's highest de- vslopment It may not be generally known that the slow cooking principle is sse old-long before the advent of ovens GUT forefathers cooked their food by ths use of stones made red-hot in a surface Ere these stones were then placed in a hole dug in the ground or sand the food was laid on the hot stones, covered np and the hsie filled in.

SAVING LAUNDRY BILLS,

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner These, are the times when the perplexed housekeeper must try every science to save for the real recessities of life. Ma y women whom I know, once acrustone ed to send their table linen to the laundry, are cutting down expenses in this regard eby using, instead of their big, est ta- merely a centerpiece with place napkins, or in case of a small fam fly, maybe two plain runners lail acrcss- ways on the bare table. a
 Centerpieces of coarse linen or other simple materials, worked in some easy design, make attractive table fittings, in ease one takes the trouble 10 woriz them in colors to go with the china, etc. It is a simple matter for the housewife to wash and iron these dainty bl-s of nap- pery, thereby saving her best linens, as well as cutting her laundry bills in half. Frequently remnants of goods can be picked up at sales and the like which work in splendidly for the purpose of table covering. Only byeternal vigilance and endless planning can the ordinary in- come or salary be made to compass ex- penses just now.

 Social Corner Members: I read with interest the letters from week to week and so many times I so agree with some of the writers. think I will send letter right away but time slips by and I do not. Last week the letter from New Conner to Norwich about not saving letters was fine. Not long ago it was my duty to look over lot of let ters belonging to a dear friend who had suddenly died and I was glad indeed it fell to me to do it as there were many things in those letters she would not have wished others to see and still she saved them.
 The letter signed Blue-Bel1 on spend ing the vacation had much good advice in it It was written to young girls ge- ing on vacations but I wish many who have passed the girl age could read it and profit by it. The busy farmers wife likes to entertain and have company as well as anyone and if her guests would only realize how much it would help her if they would only keep their belongings together and not string them all over the house. She could enjoy their visit so much more. Also if the guests have children see to it they do not allow them to do things the hostess does not allow her own children to do. There are so many, many little things the guest can do that will not mar her pleasure and will add much to the enjoyment of the hostess in having the guest in her home I wish someone would send a tested re-

cRAYoE FOR CLEANING WHITE
 SHOES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
 was interested in the various hints of
 household helps, which were given by
 Laughing Water. in her recent letter,
 and I agree with Theoda that any sim
 pie little helps that have come to us we
 should pass them along to help someone
 else. and not to feel they are too slight
 to be mentioned. I presume we aIl, at
 times, discover some little benefits that
 we may have derived coming from ne
 cessary experiment. Long ago we
 learned that want was the mother of
 invention and still every day we may
 put this rule into practice. In regard to the cleaning or whitening of the popular white shoes, which are much worn these days by ladies and children. I have a simple suggestion to Inalse.~The first pair
 of low white shoes that I had I found
 they did not stretch with wearing, and
 when 1t came to whitening them, I did not wish to apply liquid dressing, or the canvas would shrink. and my shoes would be too tight for comfort I used a white powder tied up in a small bag, rubbed this all over the soiied parts, which worked very well, but rather "a fGssy, dusty job. It happened one day my supply of white powder was used up and my shoes needed cleaning. and I was in want of a substitute AS I was lhllAlAlS II oNeFs IL occuIEeQ to my H1lnd
 Why wouldn't a piece of white crayen do as well?' I had several pieces of the ordinary white school crayon that were 1 left from what my boys had used, on a home blackboard. As a small piece of
 crayon was in my workbasket I seized upon that, to chalk over my white shoes found the trial worth repeating
 the crayon being hard. very little dus, arises, and the application on the can. vas keeps well. You can buy a whole
 box of crayon. at the stationary store
 or at the Decent stores which is much less the price of special white shoe dress i ings either of liquid or powdered form
 The sticks of crayon are also very han.

LIFE A sEKIEs OR CIRCLES.

Dear Sisters: Do you ever feel that it doesn't pay to be too efficient? Some how efficiency has grown to be a craze with some of us. We crave it's highest development as it were the one de- sirable quality. We're so entirely en- grossed in doing that we forget the nec- essity of spending time in just being.
 We rush from one activity to another, multiply our interests, fill our moments or engagement books, as the case may be, Sometimes overwrought nerves bring us up sharply and pain or futility of thought makes us pause for time. Sometimes we go on and on, tortured nerves exact ing irritability and foreboding.
 If only we ourselves must suffer we might have less compunction in over working. But wherever one wife or mother or business woman overstrairs her strength and ability for saneness of life those near her must suffer also. Not alone can she carry the penalty of false standards of duty or mistaken values of life.
 Life is such a series of circles Our own little orbit touches so many more. Our own little circle. distorted in the living. causes so many others to lose the symmetry that might have been theirs
 We need to pause occasionally and re- member that the very greatest accom- plishnent for any mortal is living life sensibiy and well. We are always given strength enough for the wa-k which is essentially ours If we have afortine dissipated sofne measure of it by care lessiiess that is the fault of ourselves not of life.
 The very greatest men and women are those who have so mastered their work that they can play at times and re-ereate themselves for the morrows work. Mon ey is not the most important thing in life. Greater by far are satisfied con- science. enduring friendships and a youthful heart.
