THE HILLS OF HOME.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Not so far from ocean's measured rhythm, bordering the valley of the Thames river, and eneircling the old city Of Norwich, rise these serene hills of home.
 The hills that mark the site of many romance and legend that attended the development of the early settlements along the river, when the Indians trail followed it's course and trading centers were established under the shadows of these hills and along the shores of the coves that wander inward

 But it is the nearer hills, the hills that encircle Norwich, above the land ing where the rivers meet and the Indians maintained their trading post, then gaunt and wild with the snows of winter and sweet with the blush of the mountain aurel and the wild rose of summer. that claim our attention.

Dear Cornerites: Did you notice what serious trip our Practical Polly had between Canterbury 0he home of many of Connecticut's famous men and wo- mem and, Willimantic? On some of the back roads in Canterbury there are sites years since these stills were in opera ton. Is it possible "the scent of the roses remains there 'still?"
 Practical Polly wants to know where she was. Who can guess? She must ask us something easier, but the little girl was seeing red lights.
 Now if I wanted to go from Canter- bury to Willimartic I would never think of going through Brooklyn any more than I would of going round ty Wor- cester. I would come over through Scot land and avoid the red lights
 I wonder if Practical Polly went through Canterbury Green and if she sa W the house where Prudence CrandaIl open ed the boarding school for young ladies. The. house is now the home of Rev. Mir Hetrick.

oLp oncHARp BEACH


 Dear Social Corner Friend: ean- than nature at this time of year, so will called Old Orchard Beach.
 Old Orchard, the magnificent surf bathing beach, is also reached through Portland, being only eleven miles dis tant. There is frequent train and trol- ley service. the electric cars connecting with the Grand Trunk trains. Thou sands of happy people enjoy each year their vacation at Old Orchard. Tss- criminating travellers declare that it's stretch of sand, its tumultuous surf and it's magnificent bathing facilities are un- equalled anywhere in the world.
 The beach is three rT1les in length and is wide and firm. The green Atlantic corn,bers beat in on the beach, losing their power as they sweep over the great tract of sand The bathing Is equally safe for adults and children. There just out from the center of the beach a fine piner with theatre etc
 All the pleasures which go to make up 8 real seashore holiday can be found at Old Orchard, in addition to the unexcel- led bathing with donkey rides to delight the hearts of children, splendid motor roads a wide variety of sea foods and equable climate. Old Orchard took it's name from an orchard which covered a large area of land. It Is place worth going q long ways to see. In 1912 there was an auto race on the beach. I never saw anything like it. Where the water had receded the sand was as hard i as concrete. And how those racers did fly over the sand Enough for this time. Best regards to everybody BAISAM FIR
