rIoNrcs ARE BENEFICIAL.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Am rather late but wanted to say what a nice time tda on the picnic at Gardner Lake, and especially I want Cady to know. She certainly did work hard to make every thing pass off nicely. .-. o @
 Certainly, Wildfower knew pleasant place for. q picnic, and I know. she en- joys ice cream. especially Sunday-school ice cream. The sisters who didn't go certainly missed a good time S
 think Chatterer likes a bargain. She certainly got one oirsthe ice cream, and I know it added much pleasure for some of the sisters, as they seemed to enjoy 1t.
 Gusty (alias Dusty) and Buster:- You sure did your" "dooty.a making fun for the crowd. think Busters pears went with Red Clovers peaches. ! saw the pears but didn't get look at the peaches. I would have liked to have seen them near CT. Don't you hope Student will bring some more of those pepper1nints to the next meeting May I be there to get some! How about you. Buster? t. Hope. it will beaas nice day for the next picnic. think it does one so much good to attend them, if it isn't too warm RED ROSE

EXPERIMENTS BY BLANCHE.

Dear Corrcr Sisters: This surely is 2, busy season with all kinds of fruit to be saved, or at least part of 1t. The fruit that canned last fall by the cold pack method and the tops removed to fill the large air space with extra hot fruit before shaping down the second wire have kept nicely. -.s Celia Louise: am trying your way of canning. tomatoes without cooking. If they keep well 1t is 8 grand recipe and wish 1t could have been knowr, years ago. I am g. little in doubt at present but like to try new ideas. s- The cider made from apples last. year by using the meat grinder for the mil has made. very good vinegar Not fav- Ing a suitable press a, plate and iron for the weight added part water SC 1t Is not quite as strong as the pure but similar to some on the market.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: As it has been q long time since I have written and fearing I might be dismissed from your clrcle, I will do my bit to hep i'll up the Corner page Of The Bulle- tin.

Have regretted very much that have not had the op- portunity Of meeting with you oftener. - Queen Elizabeth: I wish to thank you for your nice letter which you sent me while was on my outing at Rock Nook cottage, describing the picnic at the lake the 24th. How I should have enjoyed being with you and all the rest of the old time friends, as well as meeting many of the new ones, which I have greatly enjoyed since I became a mem Der of the Corner.
