SPIDER JuHHNY CAKE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: l will say good morning to all. What lovely weather We are having; so cool one feels just like work, and as there is always plenty to do it is well that we feel like doing it. I want to say that we certainly are having an interesting Social Corner page, with so many new letters that it keeps one guess ing most of the time to know who they are. But we are always glad to welcome the new ones, as our older ones are going one by one, including many that were so dear to us all and who will be long re- membered.
 As everyone is trying to help each other in the line of cooking, I will send in recipe for
 Spider Johnny Cake sift one cup of yellow meal, one-half cup of flour, two tablespoons of sugar, two of butter. one cup of sour milk one egg, one-half tea spoon of soda and salt to taste.

PLANNING FOR MEMORIALS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The annual Memorial day of the American soldiers has recently been observed Powers have been given as tributes in their honor and trees have been planted as testimonials to live and grow, as si- lent Aand beautiful reminders. Many
 stones of granite, or field boulders. have been unveiled for the first time this year. bearing the inscriptions to those whose names the pages of history will rever- ence. Those public tributes of respect and shonor to those who sacrificed their all, their lives, for the benefit of l,u- mapity, those observances mean much to living kindred. However, there are many others, who have gone on before whose ties were near and dear to us. and so
 especially we forgot them not. their
 memory, with flowers of the sea son. Probably most of us find it inconvenient to visit the plot where We most desire to 1 contribute our offerings. Many miles separate us, i'll health or other good req l sons; may prevent us from doing those | things. And if so. can we not have a 1 next best? Those of us who have a l space of ground around our homes can | utilize small spot to sct one plant, or l more, and regard that as 2 substitute. l Is it not appropriate to select the fa- [ vorite flowers, shat mother, father or | others, were most fond of. and as we l take care of these simple memorials, dur l ing. tho summer days are they not 2 re- | hinder that we are doing 'something?" | In those homes where 2 garden plot l is not available 2 window box, or pi- l azza box. or a single flower pot may | carry out this idea.

OUR ANNUAL PICNIC AT REsIEM
 BIER MES

Dear Corner Members: What a glori- ous day we had for our picnic! Leaving Norwich by the 9.45 trolley car we start ed for Remember Mes, picking up Stu dent, also Althea and several others along the way, and when we finally left the car there were s of us
 After delightful walk through the country, where we passed the schoolhouse and were greeted by the merry faces of the children, we came in sight of the house for which we were headed and found on arriving that many were already there. and they certainly were very cor dial.
 want to say before going any further that our thoughts were constantly with our absent sister Blossom and our love and sympathy were and are with her
 In order that all might have seats. benches were made from blanks and wagon seats and automobile cushions added to the numerous chairs, and every endeavor was made to make all com fortable.

 Marigold: Glad you were one of us Only we missed your guest. She should ! be a writer and continue one of us.
 What has happened to Little Spinster: We have not heard from her in a long | time. Is it fot time she paid us a visit
 We missed Gala Lily, Chckadee anG others who had made up their minds tc come.
 At 12 o'clock lunch was served with ar abundance of good things, and everyone seemed hungry Perhaps the delightfu walk was partly responsible. Cady: My prescription for you is tc take walk to Pleasure Hill every othe day, and you will have a good appetite
 What a pleasufe to have such a chang from the Buckingham! It gives us some thing new to think about. The air wa
 fragrant with the odor of wild flower and strawberries and the surroundin country looked beautiful.
 The smile of our hostess made one fee
 very much at home, and we all knew tha she had at heart the interest of all for good time.
 Hope many of the sisters after this nic picnic will be inspired to write. Nellie Bly: I advise you to look out fo . poison ivy.

MEETING DOWN EXPENSES.

Dear Corner Folks: It is frequently contended by young engaged people that two can live as cheaply as one, and of course we usually put such notion down to the irrationalness of love and look wise and. say that the theory is all wrong.
 One thing we cannot deRy, however, is that it is cheaper for two married folk to live together than for an unmarried wom- an and an unmarried man to live separ- ately.. There are times when possibly it is cheaper for the two to live together than for the unmarried man to live alone. But of course that much depends on the sort of woman he nnzrries.
 In days gone by it almost always was matter of economy, as well as the result of love for a woman, that man married In pioneer and colonial days the man without wife was handicapped.
 So many industries were carried on in the hsnnA- and if a man had no one to

DROP COOKIES.
PUSSY WILLOW

Dear Friends of The Corner: cookie is not as delicious as a sl4ce of cake when eaten by itself but a cookie is every bit as good as slice of cake when eaten with dish of fresh or Etewed fruit.
 What could be more delicious than one of the following combinations A cookie and sweetened strawberries; a cookie and sweetened stewed rhubarb a cookie and stewed prunes cookie and apple sauce which has been sweetened and favored with cinnamon cookie with sliced and sWeetened bananas and oranges?
 The housekeeper should take this fact into consideration and serve cookie and fruit desserts and buildings. now that the warmer months will bring her fresh fruits of all kinds And what rest it will be not to have to frost and fill layer cakes Also what an economy.
 Drop cookies take shorter time to make than rolled cookies and are equally as delicious. Try some of the following ::
 Ginger Drop Cookies: Put in a mixing bowl one cup light brown sugar stir in tWo-thirds cup of granulated sugar, one half cup cold water, one beaten egg, two- thirds cup molasses, one large tablespoon ginger and one heaping teaspoon soda which has been sifted with three and one half cups of four. This will make a stiff batter. Drop on buttered pans by heap ing teaspoons one inch apart, and bake in hot oven for about 10 minutes This recipe makes two dozen and half large cookies.
 Peanut Drop Cookies: Cream together ] one-fourth cun of butter and one-half cur of sugar; adj two. beaten eggs, one cur four which has been sifted with one tea. spoon baking powder and one-half tea l spoon salt, and last add three-fourths cur 1 of shelled roasted peanuts which have been rather coarsely chopped. Mix wei i and bake on buttered cookie sheet fol about 20 minutes in medium oven. Thi. recipe makes two dozen cookies. It should
 be dropped by teaspoons on the pan, on.

GREETINGS FROM L. H. K.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sisters: If I do not write pretty soon, will not be keeping up to my plan to write once month. I expect you are having nice times attending the picnics at the different sis ters' homes. This certainly is nice weather to be out of doors. Everything is lovely in the country, so fresh and green, and the flowers are in their prime now. To those who are, interested in birds, will say they are especially inter- esting just now. There are a great many different kinds around here. l saw a gold finch this morning, right at my back door.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There are so many things I want to put into this letter, don't know which to write first But guess I'll write my thanks to all those who so thoughtfully remembered me June 2d, with birthday cards-Primrose Curt. Scottie, Smiles, Student, Bonie and one card marked From All-nothing else on the address side. Who was it from? The whole Social Corner band? On the other side was a pretty decoration and these words: Birthday greetings-May you live long and prosper" Then I had a number of others, as well as gifts from friends outside the Social Corner, making it a very pleasant anniversary for me Also I call the good time at the Bucking- ham June 1st my birthday party, as it happened so near. What a good time we did have and how all seemed to enjoy it 1. There was a large number present. just how many l am not sure. There were G5 seated at the first two tables each and 25 or 90 at the third one, and still plenty of good things left-nore than seven bas- kets of fragments, l feel sure-and all of this found ready sale under Priscilla s well known ability. She just fills the bill.
 There were several who met with us for the first time and I trust enjoyed it so much they'll come many times more. 1 have thought often since of Grandma 1 from Moosup, whom I had chance for quite a long visit with, and really fell in 1 love with her. You did not get overtired did you, Grandma? Next time you gc through Jewett City give me call l shall be glad to renew the acquaintance l wish it had been so I could be witt | you on the Sth at Remember Mes but hardly could expect another good time SC I soon.
 Now I promised several I would sent my recipe very soon to The Corner fol uncooked fudge.
 Uncooked Chocolate Fudge: Into on l pound of confectionery sugar break twt whole eggs, stir until smooth and creamy then add one-fourth pound melted un sweetened chocolate, one small teaspoon vanilla, pinch of salt one teacup O broken nut meats, or the same amount o seedless raisins. Mix well, then pour il buttered pan. When set mark off int squares.

FINE TIME AT REMEMBER MES.

Social Corner Editor and Members: :: Thank you. Deliah Deal, and Smiles, in remembering me with cards on my birth day. Little acts of kindness like that make ones day brighter. I wish all So- ciaI Corner sisters could have gone to thes picnic at Remember Mes. It was fine from start to finish. The day was just right and the bountiful dinner serv- ed ,nicnic fashion on the spacious piaz- ga. and lawn. under the grand old trees made it ideal. Remember Me makes a splendid hostess, calm and efficient, with all her willing helps. We all had 2 good time. I shall remember it and think of all the Social Corner sisters as having had just as fine a time as did.
