RECIPE FOR BANANA PIE.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Every time
read the letters that ask why the old
members do not write, feel am not
doing my bit to keep the page filled and
encourage the editor who takes so much
pains with US to make it interesting for
u.s.
I enjoy all the letters ana recipes and
like to try them. The weeks go by so
fast 1 do not get chance to try them
all before the next weeks letters are here
with more to read and try.
Joan: I read your letter and will say
I want to write you and explain my alb
sence but have been told you have
moved. If you will write me and give
me your address, viii gladly do so.
1 will send in my recipe for Banana
Pie: Use two very ripe bananas sifted as
you would for squash pie. sweeten to
taste, one egg, little salt, enough milk to
fill crust. This is very nice and very
rich with q meringue. I like it better
| without, as it makes a very nice custard
I hope some of the sisters will try this
and write how they like it in their let
| ters,- I hope Auntie Lou will try it and
write a letter, as it is about time we had
a letter from you; don't you think so:
We will be pleased to see you at the hall
| in Willimantic Feb. 9th.

OF accomplishment But is it always
inerited? We can fill our days very full
without having them profitable days
Life is full of things which seem at the
minute to be very necessary to do But IL
wo- tasxe a little time for thought we
shall find often that some OF them ar.
not as important as we thought and that
others can be eliminated from our scheme
OF living without robbing It Of real
achievement. Busy days are not always
well spent days.
The test Of a well spent day is not -ac-
tion, but accomplishment The accom-
plishment may be work, or recreation, but
to be real Accomplishment It must have
been worth in positive results the time or
| effort expended.
We spend a great deal OF valuable
| time in wondering why others are sue
cessful when we seem to fail and NOR
valuable time in env.Nng them their good
| fortune. The same amount Of time usei
| for honest deliberaion as to causes
would bring about better results
What brings success7 Not wishing. noi

lions Of some of the sisters seem to have
given us the needed example and while
have been a faithful reader of but not
a frequent contributor to the Corner It
has made me resolve to keep UP the once

JOLLY TINE AT CLUB MEETING

Dear Corner Sisters: What a, delight
full gathering we had at our last meet
ing, and all seemed SO jollyl It is a
pleasure to be able to go away for day
and get a little change from our duties
which we have to do from day to day. It
certainly gives US something different to
think of. We have more ambition for
bur work at home after a social day. I
am sure the Corner is rightly named.
F.. Glad to see Dearie with US again and
pleased she is progressing in getting her
| strength back. We missed you while you
were sick and could not be with US. We
did not see any Bundle Bee. Hope she
will be with us soon.
| ! Crimson Rambler: AS you are such a
good waiter, how did you make out that
Saturday night? AS did not have the
pleasure of your company I came to the
| conclusion May must have called for
you. Some wait, all right.
{ Lucy Acorn: Hope to see you on our
! anniversary the March meeting And
| bring Mr.. Acorn along If you can trust
him with SO many ladies.
Franklin South West: Am pleased you
| nave joined the Corner as we shall be
able to see one another more often and
have nice chats together. Am glad you
| had a nice time. Was it not nice Little
Hoosit could be with US again. she be-
| llaN Gu 50 nicely. OHly she WOutQ 1lKeQ &c
| have had one of those doughnuts.
| 1 see by the paper Betsey Bray is al
| home again. I should think you might
tell us all about that lovely trip you tool
to Philadelphia. 1 am sure you mus
nave had beautiful scenery, especially a
| that time of the year-Septembe beins
a fine month. Come down and see U.s.
shall hardly know you SO long since
have seen you.
The speaking by Mirandy and Sti1
water was very interesting and think i
was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Girl
and women beware, especially when yol
go away with a handsomer man thai
your husband.
That little story goes to show US hov
quickly we jump at conclusions
find we have made big mistake-some
times too late for amends.
Bob White: We have not heard fror
you in some time. Is it not about tim
for you to take a fly out?
Noble Makebelieve: That was a prett
good piece you wrote Try it again.
Scottie: Why did you disappoint u
