Dear Social Corner Friends: I have long been an interested reader of the Social Corner letters and have often wished l might become 8 member, but until now have never written May I join you and enjoy with you the pleasant gatherings About which I have heard so much?
 What busy season this is, with paint ing, paperins. and house cleaning, and getting ready for the summer months so near at hand? I wonder if Evelyn Is so busy that she can't find time to write- l haven't seen 9 letteer from her for long time. And where is Tuia and California Poppy? Not very long ago l met Wild Cherry on the street and had quite chat with her. I was quite well acouainted with Aunt Mary hay ing known her since I was a little girl. She will indeed be missed, not only in her own home, but wherever the influence of her beautiful Christian life has beer felt.
 Prudy: What are you doing these days? Wish you would call on me ]
 should be very glad to play some of those records for you. am going to send 2 recipe for g
 nice sponge cake. I hope the sisters vii try it.

EARLY SEASON. AND WILD

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sisters: To keep up my reputation as being running over with the Social Corner spirit l will write a few lines this lovely morning. I have a large pansy bed started and they are doing splendid. We have hen with one chicken and she was very busy right in the middle of it this morning.
 We have some of our vegetable seeds planted and will be so glad when we can go out and pick some nice fresh vegetables

 wish I could picture in your minds the transformation of those lives who have been helped through the kindness of thoe interested in them. One native and his wife, dressed in clean white clothes. with shining faces. have been the means of making a whole village Christian.

As she lay on her death bed the nurse noticed she wished to say something. so bending over her, the nurse asked the girl if she wanted anything or would like to say something, and she whispered to the nurse: Please tell the dear people in America that the money they sent for my scholarship and Christian education has done more. good than they will ever know. am going in peace with my sins forgiven.

HOW 10 USE AN OLD EA1N COAT

Dear Cornerites: Here are a few good suggestions: To make use of an old rain coat rip it apart and wash it thor oughly, then fashion it into a large apron for household use. Good for scrub ping and washing wear, a chemistry apron for the daughter in high school, dusting aps and sleeve protectors, cases for sponges, brushing articles, also toilet articles or cover to tie over the laundry basket good lining can also be made for the laundry basket for the house. keeper who send s, lied linen to the wet | wash.

Dear Social Corner Sister I Ggree with Black Eyed Susie that it would be nice to have 8 page in The Bulletin every day and have often thought if each mem Der wrote once month we should need t. But after reading Postmaster's confess sion that she had used eleven pen names at one time, I am wondering how many real members we have. anyway. Think the editor must have the patience of Job with so many names f0r one person and so many No. 2's.
 I have taken the advice given us by Saturday Eve some time ago and when cleaning house this year disposed of many 1 useless things that I had thought could not part with but not my postcards The Last Rose of Summer knows those are almost as dear to me as Nioia's cat is to her. But for those who do not care fer them. Martha's suggestion is a gooq | one.
