SERVING THE v1crUA1s COVERED

Dear Social Corner Sisters: When at tending a picnic or reading the report Of one 1 am often reminded of thel story of an old lady who was one day visited by her pastor. During their con- versa tion he asked her which of her many blessings during her long life she had enjoyed the most. The dear old lady thought a moment and her eyes frightened as she looked at her pas tor and replied, My victuals.''
 No doubt the answer was an unex- pected one but is there not much of truth in it? Now I want to tell you of what was to me new and very at tractive way of serving the "victualsF' ! at a picnic I attended where about twenty ladies were present. Each one when invited was told to bring some thing to, eat and to have it covered. When we arrived at the home of our hostess the things we carried were | taken and put out of sight until near the close of the afternoon when every thing was brought out and placed on a long table on the lawn where We were seated.
 l I wish you could have seen that ta- | ble. There were pretty covered dishes, boxes and baskets trimmed with crepe 1 paper, an old fashioned sugar bowl | filled with little cookies, and plates and 1 platters covered with napkins and doil- l les. Even the drink was covered. At a word from the hostess each guest step- ped to the table and uncovered the food | she brought, then returned to her seat where she was given plate. cup, fork and napkin. Needless to say, the re- nlainder of the afternoon was spent en- toying the "victuaIs" the uncovered dishes revealed
 I must not close without a word in regard to Aunty No. Is picnic which Mir. Primrose and myself very unex- | pectedly attended. It was a long time since I had met with any of the other clubs and I enjoyed every moment re- i newing old acquaintances and making new ones My only regret was that we had to eat and run. It was my first visit to Norwich Town and Bean Hill but I hope not my last. After We reach ed home I asked MT. Primrose what ht thought of the Social Corner folks ant his reply was, "They had dinner fl for king"

ON BURIAL HILL AT pLYMoUrH,

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: In my last letter I only answered one ques- tion of Sister 1492, therefore appeal 10 your indulgence, and continue on the same subject of historic Plymouth. As I stood on the brow of Burial Hill. looked first over the housetops of the town, and far across the bay to Clark's Island, where, we are told, the exp1or- ing Pilgrims safely landed their shal- lop on Saturday night Dec. 19, 1920, and the next day rested and spent their first Sabbath on this shore One of the most conspicuous monuments and quite central in its location is that to Gov ernor William Bradford, the second governor, and nearby, numerous stones marking the graves of his descendants. Many of the very oldest stones are in this vicinity, mostly of small di mensions and a variety of designs from the sculptor's chisel above the memor- ial inscription. I saw two reminders of the skull and cross bones, hideous faces, some with a wing on each ear. The oldest original stone is that to the memory of Edward Gray, 16S1 A very small stone having been reset within a larger granite, to preserve it's orfginal- ity. As I walked to the farther end of the cemetery I observed peaked shane stone of dark slate. This was to the memory of Fannie Crombie who depart ed this life. June 25, AID. 1894, in the 9th year of her age. Near to the base of the stone where the grass almost hid the words, I read this sentiment: As young as beautifull and soft as
 young
 And gay as soft! and innocent as gay
 AS I wandered the path on the slop- ing hillside toward the north section I saw the low circular top stones to the memory of Joseph .Plasket and his wife Tabitha. The husband was the first to sever the home ties, which occurred in 17o4, at the age of zS years. Tradition

A FINE TIME AT A BEAUTIFUL
 SPOT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Didn't we have a glorious time up to the an- nual picnic given by Aunty No. 1, Sept. 14th? It was just the place for a picnic and so near the car this year, as she has bought a house on Verga son avenue, and Aunty and Un- cle were so good with their auto, car rying the older ones back and forth. left my house about ten thirty and met the car at the M. B. church and there I met several of the sisters. We journeyed up the hill, Cady and having very interesting chat. We arrived at eleven, in time to help serve the dinner with Old Fashioned Mother, Amber, Snow Flake, No. 2, Apple Blossom, Adella, Chauffeur, N. E. B. and several others. There were twelve in all to serve the dinner in courses.
 With Aunty's help, we served din- ner to one hundred and twenty-five.
 After the doxology was sung, we served beans, several kinds of salad and Aunty never fails with her vege- table salad-cakes, pies, of all kinds, cod meats, cheese, pickles, peaches, grapes, bananas and delicious hot cof- fee.
 The lawn was a very attractive looking spot, with it's easy chairs, benches, tables, with the different sis ters busy with their fancy work. Aft CT dinner many stunts were done and many games were played. Melba, Jim Grove, New York Girl, won prizes. Oleander had several more planned, but as the sisters were so taken up with Aunty's flowers, and journeyed up to one of the neighbors to see the lovely dahlias, they were not played. Nearly every sister present received a blossom from the kind neighbor, There was a reading by Deliah Deal Best wishes to all.

large for the needs of her own family. The young housekeeper usually begins doing too many unnecessary things and preparing too many dishes which take too much time, but the busy mother should learn to quickly and easily pre- pare all the real necessary foods, serv- ing the fruits and green vegetables as much as possible and not spendig too much time on sauces and dressings, etc.
 This month brinrs the children back to school again and that means that we have to put in a lot of time explaining and getting them interested in their school work.
 We seem to have had wonderfully ca pablo, famous and successful men, years ago. who never went to school much.
 Many of the most successful were poor boys who began regular work in the mills and shops, when not more than eight or nine years of age.
 think one secret of their success was that they learned at first to concen- trate their minds on something they un- derstood and were interested in.
 think the greatest mistake in our schools is studying to pass examina- tions. Many children feel that they can not take the time to try and understand for fear that they will not have time to memorize enough to pass.
 A child should be graded by age, not by how much he has memorized, anc his high rating should be decided by his ability to understand new material-neN problems.
 He should feel that each day he is jus learning something more about people how they first lived and how they travel ed from one part of the country to tht other. Tho+ +'n-- made the laws st that each one should know how to do am not to make trouble for others, how tht people were divided up into little group and each group had a language of it own and how the people learned to mak all kinds of machinery and build steam boats and railroads and big cities.
 And he should feel that school is tn place where each day the children learl something more about the people, wher and how they live and what they are do ing and the best way to keep them well
 The most important thing for the chill is for him to be interested in what h has each day in school.

swEEr rICkLEn PEARs.


 Dear Corner Friends: I am sending in my recipe for sweet pickled pears, if not too late which we think are very good. Take pounds of pears pounds of sugar, pint of vinegar. Take stems from pears and cut out blossom ends, and cover with cold water, and let boil until you can stick a fork through them, then take out pears, add sugar and vinegar to the water you cooked pears in, also your spice tied in a muslin bag, ? heaping tablespoons of cinnamon and cloves, a coffee cup of raisins; then put your pears back again and boil until they begin to quicker, then put into stone jar. Let your syrup boil down little, and pour over pears. Hope some of the sisters try them.

4 HINT IN MAKING SALAD DRESS
 ING

Dear Corner Editor and Sisters: May become a member? I have attended as a visitor two of your meetings and enjoyed them greatly. The day at Aunty No Is was all that one could ask for perfect weather, and an abundance of good thinr= to eat. A trip short dis tance up the road to see the beautiful dahlias was taken by quite number and all felt repaid for going.
 If when making a salad dressing you stir up the mustanrd in cold water and boil a little and cool before adding the other ingredients, it will take out the bitter taste that the mustard often has A little cream of tartar put in when making soft gingerbread is a great improvement making it much lighter and more tender.

 Here ended the pilgrimage of John 1 Rowland. who died Feb 23, 1872 aged above 80 years. He married Elizabeth daughter of John Tilley, who came with him in the Mayfower Dec. 1920. From them are descended a numerous poster ity.

THE BEAUTIES OF BEACH FOND

Readers of the Social Corner: glimpse of Beach Pond in a recent Cor ner letter, might have aroused interest for "longer look" To those who have been there for the day, or camping, or just passing by. it is a reminder of an ideal place, secluded and remote from even an echo of the busy industrial life surrounding it.
 Passing through the center of Volun- town, the road turns to the right of Rob- bins cemetery, then left, and further on a forked road is the division which sep arates the roads to either side of the pond. The left leading down a steep hill, through pictorial woody scenes, to the more private side of the pond. The right takes us on through a stretch of woods to where we first get a view of the pond from hill overlooking the wa ter Going down this hill we cross the pond by a built roadway, which cuts one end of the water off towards our right and as we cross a bridge we are in Exeter, R. l., and the road leads us a short distance on the beach which is call ed Sandy Beach, formerly known as the Willows, because of the willow trees that hung close to the shore, and of which there is now only one old veter- an which tries to retain its height at

 When the water is olw, one may follow the beach around to the Providence cot tages set snug and comfortable on a level stretch of grassy lawns.

 The entire pond which is about four miles long and a mile wide, stretches off in the distance showing truly emerald isle in the center, most beautiful spot.
