and you can use less sausage than when plain friend.
 Some time ago I was in Norwich. I think it was Dollar day In one Of the stores l was buying some bathing shoes when another lady stepped up to the counter to buy some. We got to talk ing and she said she lived in Lebanon, but went to the beach at Matunuck. passed on and later in the day l heard some one behind me apparently just meeting a friend and saying she was going to write about the Social Corner picnic, but now would not have to. looked around and it was the woman had met at the shoe counter. l did want to step up and ask her pen name. but she had several people with her so did not like to. l have often thought of her, and if she sees this letter I hope she win tell me her pen name through the Corner page.
 l have enjoyed reading about the old CT customs. I have seen the memory canes and friendship quilts. There was a piece of satin ribbon with elaborately worked initials fastened in the crown oi mems hats. I have seen those and really 1t does not seem a bad idea One sister wrote of visiting Newgate prison I should like very much to see it. This will help fill the page, anyway. | l.. L. M.

and silver bird. It must have been very cold up so high, even if the gun did shine. Reading about the trips that some of the sisters took this summer made me wish to write about mine to New Hamp- shire. The Saturday after Memorial day the man of the house, with myself and youngest daughter, started out for Man chester. N. H.. We had good weather till we got to Nashua. N. H. Then 1t was pouring But we didn't get wet with l our curtains on the car.
 The scenery was grand with all the | fruit trees in bloom. And what thought was a grand view was at the Worcester reservoir. Over two dozen cars were parked there to see the view. It is very impressive Then in Worcester we saw some flowers in front of lovely resi- ] dence that caught our eyes-a red flower , bush, then a white, then a blue flower | bush. had never seen that particular i kind before. They looked beautiful. Then ; through Aver and Camp Devens, with soldiers there, too, just made me think when l had relatives in uniform there. i There was a long detour through the woods, but when We got on the road to l Nashua 1t was smooth driving clear through to Manchester. The first thing | to strike the eye as we came near Man OAS as you come Into the city you see a big ] sign with McAlgain shotshop on it. l hadn't been there in 12 years, so I saw many improvements.
 Gack: Yes, went over that Goshen hill. You are right about the view. There i is lovely view from Black Hill. too, if you ever go that way from Canterbury to 1 Central Village.
 l heard from mutual friend that one more writer, Five Willows. had died. saw her at the BacAus hospital while i visiting friend.
 I will close by saying that Thanksgiv- ing day went on the Green Hollow road and picked buttercups by the cemetery there. That Is going some for the last :; day of November.

ADVICE.


 Dear Corner Sisters: 'Hrhe man who snoothes wrinkle into a smile; he who supplies 8 pleasant thought when one is wanted; who thus repairs and renews Gods handiwotk, counts with the truest of the worlds benefactors."
 Did it ever occur to you that nowadays advice is about the only sort of thing that you can get for what the little boy called free gratis for nothing?
 We receive Feams of 1t in the news papers and magazines public men of all sorts deal largely in It. our friends cheer fully hand 1t to us on all occasions. but, strangely enough, do not enjoy having it returned. If we each had $100 for every time we were advised to do this. that or sthe other things. the United States would soon be 8 nation of plutocrats.
 Yet this sort of counsel Is at least we'll meaning, and we should be grateful for it. because 1t is inspired by a sincere desire for our weifare; but of late years there has gradually grown ID an entirely diff terent sort of Advice that is actuated by anything but regard for our best interest.
 It Is g klpd of get-rich-dulck scheme worked at the expehse of the public. We are no longer alleyed te spend our money as we like.
 Do you doubt my statement? Just step into the nearest store and ask the clerk for some article about which you have been impressed by reading an advertise ment in some paper. Nine times out of ten, he advises you to take something just as goodr and expatiates on the sur passing merits of the thIess substitute. He wants your money without giving you an adequate return for 1t, and he can make a little more on the substitute than on the adyertised article. Of course. there are merchants who despise this sort Of thing and would not De guilty of it. If thsys have not the ar ticle asked for, they say so at once, or offer to get IL for you. But theseZaresu un. Fortunately the exception and not the rnls.

tie oblong park with street each side containing a band stand, eleven trees, soldiers monument, German cannon, drinking fountain and another fountain bearing this inscription: Erected in 1918 in memory of Edward s. Yeomans, a friend of animals.
 At this fountain is a basin of stone low where dogs and small animals can get water easily.
 A fine flag pole is nearly opposite Ex- Governor HolcomRs residence.
 Southington is a borough. On some of the streets leading off Main I mo- ticed two story houses with tall poles in the front yard with a grape vine at each pole and could easily decide as to the nationality of the occupants, but all looked well cared for.
 The noted Lake Compounce" is hear by. On arriving at our destination we were given hearty welcome. Then we were assisted to extricate ourselves from our extra clothing and in due time were called to dinner. We had appe- tites after our long ride and enjoyed the dinner served so nicely. After this Miss D., who spent several weeks in Montana last summer visiting a school friend whose husband was a civil en- gineer, showed pictures of the unoccu- pAea TeSlOnI valleys ana InOuHIalnS, ana explained them to us, including the big rainbow trout caught by her friends, and the buildings they stayed in, until imagined after reaching home that | too, had been to Montana. Miss Arlene gave us a few selections on the piono which were well executed. Then we no- ticed the hands of the clock pointing to p. m., so we bundled up (really felt as if I was all bound round with a woolen string"), bade our host and hostess, daughter and niece good bye and started on our homeward journey via Pennington. On reaching Hartford we went to the station where we found two "Graces," went to garage and Jeff our car and extra wraps and then went to the Capitol" which was packed with people and saw fine dancing, good singing, and pictures. Then we went back to the garage where they let ouI car down on an elevator which was new to me, and soon we were on the roaG home, but I did not set beside the driver any more. Reached home at Il p. m., deciding I'd enjoyed one more Thanks day if I am twice twenty CRETIA.

SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR OUR MANY BLESSINGS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sisters I did not think would write again so soon, but feel I owe an apology to Black Eyed Susie for taking a name so near like hers, but truly, didn't know there was 8 sister by that name. In fact, I know hardly any of the sis ters, except Silver Locks, who is very dear tI me. The reason took the name of Black Eyed Susan was be- cause I am so fond of the daisy of that name. But if there Is no one that has the name of Yellow Daisy would like to take that name. /.
 Thanksgiving has passed for anoth- CT year and now our thoughts are turned toward Christmas. We had a most delightful Thanksgiving, and we had Silver Locks with us and also my brother from New York city. Isn't 1t nice, when these holidays come, to have our loved ones with us2 Many have vacant chairs around their tables but ] thanks to. our dear Heavenly Father ours were tilled the same as usual. We should be very thankful to Him for all our blessings, which are many, even the little ordinary blessings of each day, as our health. strength and our loved ones to labor for. We'll. I will close, with best wishes to all for a merry Christ mas and happy New Year.
 will take, if may, the pen name of YELLOW DAISY.

SOME OF THE BEAUTIES OF MAINE


 Dear Social Corner Friends: Thanks giving day has gone and we had an ideal one at. that-5O in the shade all day ; with doors and windows wide open which made 1t seem more like August. Only the sweet song of the birds was silent. The squirrels seem to be gone when they were so plentiful all summer. Look out when you would and one could see them either on the fence across the street oI running around in the yard.
 Our company arrived in due time, not my own people whom I had expected, but friends and such jolly time as we did ! have after the work was done and the dinner over, with all the usual good things, we planned going out on the lake which we did. We went up the lake in :! to the woods of the Portland Match ] company, gathered evergreens for wreaths 1 and the beautiful red berries that are al- | ways abundant on the white alder grow | ing around the lake to brighten up the green of the wreaths. We arrived home i in time to catch callers who had come to i take us for ride in their nice large car 1 "a Packard l believe. We'll we were soon whizzipg over the ground making merry with song and laughter.
 Calling first at Suckerville. so called ! but with only two or three houses. We then went on to a place called Egypt, there to call again. Soon we were at i Raymond where we could see the beau | tiful white mantle in the distance with still another back ground of purple and 1 gold for it was sun set. A shining | streak of silver at the base of the mountains was big Sebago lake, near Old ! Sebago, as you will quite often hear it called. Then Indian Island was seen with it's 999 acres of land a short dis tance from shore. Panther pond also could be seen and Raymond cape. It sure l ly was picture no artist could paint. : Riding through dense woods with never a sign of life nor sound, only that made 1 by the car. A deathly stiffness, but oh how beautiful Little Sebago on the south miles from Dry Mills is a large body of water and quite thickly settled 1 with summer people, could be seen from Suckerville I thought of you all and only wish I could paint a picture for each one of you as could see 1t. am a real lover of nature and nothing Is too ugly or homely not to have some beauty ! in it for me-
 I thank Granger for the words asked 1 for. Mother used to sing them to me when I was very young
 Since December came in we have been having beautiful weather, nothing under 40 in the shade. The water has frozen, :. the ice making Saturday night Dec. g. ! We have had two furries of snow about two Inches each time. Old weather prophets predict on open winter. We i will wait and see. The village looks rather lonesome with So many houses i closed for the winter the people going to the city during the cold weather. j.
 Wishing each and ali of you a bright and happy winter l.. will close with best wishes to all from

NOW IS THE TIME TO SPUNK UP.
 Dear Corner Friends: I notice there are several who are Interested In. old booAs, papers etc, and as there seems to be plenty of room on our Corner page for all who care to write I want to say that Granger set me thinking about the old almahacs We have So looked them over and find we have most of the Old Farmers Almanacs from 1sss' to 1903. One thing that ssems queer to me is that we have none for tSsS, 1SIs, 1859 1889. But found two of one date and three of another, % if anyone wishes to exchange will De glad to do so; also have a Peoples Almanac for the year 1887.
 Husband has paper of which he is very proud. It Is The Boston Gazette and Country Journal No. 13s, containing the 'freshest aaylcea. foreign and dumestie.' It was printed in Bosfon Monday, Nov 2S.. l757. All the s's and f's are nearly the same go it is very hard to read. Thj 6rH column starts thus: 'fBosten. Nov 2s.-Wednesday last the Great and Gen. eral Court or Assembly of this Province met here; and on Thursday His Excel, lency the Governor was pleased to make the following speech"

CORNER LOSES ANOTHER VALUED
 MEMBER

Dear Social Corner Sisters and Friends: Now that Thanksgiving is over and the busy days that come before it, will take time to write a few lines to the Corner. When we look about us at those who are sick and at the many homes where there Is a vacant chair we feel that we cannot be thankful enough to our Heavenly Father for His many blessings to us, who have our health and unbroken family circle.
 Another of our loved members has gone to her reward-Grandma H., who was always so cheerful and such good company. Our sympathy goes out to her family and especially to the daugh- ter who has been so constantly with her in her long sickness. I have just returned from Hartford where, through the kindness of our pas tor and his wife who took us in their auto, Aunt Sarah, Neighbor and myself visited Aunt Sarah's daughter (Fringe6 Gentian) at the Hartford City hospital where on. last Saturday she underwent on operation on both limbs, having then broken and strengthened. We found hel t so happy and cheerful and although she I must suffer a great deal of pain as both limbs from the knee down to hel toes are in plaster casts, not a word o complaint did we hear. Many beau. l tiful flowers and letters had been sen her, but am sure she would appreci ate cards and letters from the Socia Corner sisters. Her address is Mis-. Edith Foster, Hartford City Hospital Hartford, Conn.
 Great Grandma: I often think of yo, l and wish could call and see you, bu IT don't come to Norwich very often an' when do the time Is always short. w enjoyed the call from your daughter an, granddaughter very much and always enjoy your nice cheery letters to tn 1 Corner.
 Kengey: Was disappointed not to ge that promised visit last month bu shall look forward to 1t some time.
 I will close wishing all a pleasan i time at the coming holidays and hop all who are sick will be better soon.

THANKSGIVING AND BARREL BURN.
 ING.

Editor and Social Corner Sisters: As remember Thanksgiving day 70 odd years ago down to the present time, 1t was al- ways the last Thirsday in November. was taught that 1t was in remembrance of the first year our forefathers were able to raise crops for their living with out calling on EngIapd for supplies. which they had been obliged to do while they were getting the soil ready. The season had brought them sustenance through the year, with the wild turkeys and other game they could hunt for. When the harvest time came they gathered some of each and made a great dinner, for which they gave thanks to the AL mighty Power that blessed their efforts and brought forth the harvest in abun- dance.
 The Thanksgiving barrel burning was connected with the same. They were strung up on poles. generally three stand Ing together. Cotton was made into balls and soaked in turpentine and set on fire and tossed about in the air and kicked around on the ground. Lanman's hill Jail and Laurel hills were the places
 where the burning barrels sure made g great illumination and grand sight Il !, was some hard work to get those barrels ] to. the top of the hills. I think 1t wa. older boys that took the job in hand IT those days. There has not been as much change on Laninan's hin as on the othel l two which are now laid out in streeti with dwellings and no place for barre l burning left
 ! Yes, Paula, it Is rest to change one'i dress and brush up the hair and some times to change the shoes af- z the morn l lngs work and dinner is cleared away | even without the "forty winks" of sleep
 I never liked to have husband and chil dren come home at night and find me il the same dress I had done my kitchel work in. If my work kept me busy til near time for them to come, I woult
 hustle around and make change jus
 in time.
 Editor: Thanks for the check.

Dear Sisters. Possibly you have heard It said that women are more conserva- tive than, men," and possibly you say with me, What nonsense !" Nothing Is farther from the truth.
