CHELsEA.s INTERESTING EXPERT


Dear Sisters of the Social Corner,
nfdnt we have an ideal day for our
May meeting! I am sure we all had
good time. As I met the different ones
and talked to them the thought ran
through my mind, how much more en-
joyable a small city is conpa red to large
one.
One noted writer has likened ohr hu-
man lives to river of floating logs.
We drift along, coming in contact with
each oI1ier for only enough time to touch
one another. then float on down ~the
stream of life. I think that writer must
have lived in large city. 1t is GER
tainIy true for I remember while riding
across Brooklyn bridge one day while
visiting the big city, we were half way
across and I, being somewhat doubtful
asked as to a direction. I asked the lady
sitting next to me which car to take
She answered and before we parted she
told me she used to live in Chicago. She
compared the cities and people. When
we landed on the New York side she was
lost in the crowd and I went in an OPP
posite direction I've never seen that
/ lady since nor would know her again Il

were worse off than myself. perhaps suf-
fering intense pain.
So while musing on the subject, I have
this conclusion, that although life is
made up of joys and sorrows, the joys
always outweigh the sorrows, and sur
round US on every hand. So many
times 1 have been reminded Of this dur
ing the last two months.
Perhaps 1 would be wondering to my
self if I ever would be able to get out
and enjoy certain event again, or take
the trip, planned for this summer. The
blues were almost at hand when the
door would open, and in came a friend
with some dainty, perhaps to cheer me
UP. Thus, I have been surprised and
awakened from despair time and again
by cards, flowers, fruit; dainty foods, or
magazines.
Many thanks to Bonie and Savila for
cards which expressed so much sympa-
thy.
But listen! The greatest surprise came
Wednesday of last week, when a sun
shine box from the Social Corner was
| left with me. I send my most apprecia-
tive thanks. I regretted so much that
could not attend the last meeting, but
hope that I may gain strength to see all
| the sisters again in the good old Bucking-
| ham Memorial at some future date.
With best wishes to all.

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner: Ma

SUGGESTIONS FoR CLUB GREETINGS

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLUB MEETINGS
Dear Corner Sisters: am going to try
and write what my mind prompts.
Wetona: I think I said something to
you at Club No. 2s meeting about the
lunch box For some time my work has
kept me much at home, and when I dc
get to the Corner meeting It has been late
and about time for the dinner. But
once the past winter was one of the
hostesses, and it is a lot of work. for
one say take lunch box and pay Ave
cents. That would pay for the hall and
how much NOR -inie we would have for
fancy work anu entertainment
It has not been so I could stay to the
entertainment for some time.
Gala Lily: I think I know what the
word friend means and you are right
about our mothers day.
Yet there are a few true friends to-
day and always will be.
Sometimes we are told things that have
been said about us that have never beer
said and it is done to make trouble.
If we would only stop and think three
times before losing our temper. WheT
we are out of temper we say things and
do things we would not at any other
time. 1 am your for the Corner,

MAKE THE MOST OF THE vERANDl

Dear Sisters of The Corner: There
are those among you 1 know who have
comfortable verandas. Some are larger
than others and some are better sit
uated but there is nothing more delight
full to me than nice veranda. Some
of US make the most of them and some
of us 1 am afraid do not.
Verardas should possess the comfort
of a living room and still contain some
thing Of the quality Of out of doors. No
longer is the porch the dumping ground
for all the unwanted furniture Of the
| house. Now it has, or should have, an
! individuality all its own, and to this end
| furnishings should be chosen that are
practical, decorative, and in key with the
surroundings.
| Wicker and reed is generally the
| foundation for all porch furnishing.
The closely woven reed has its good
points, and many colors can be combined
| in its painting.
| Regulation willow is inexpensive and
cones in a great variety of stock sizes,
! shapes and coloring. It should never be
/ used without staining or enameling

DWELLING HOUSE STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING BURNS
Several Fires In the Mason Robertson
Line District Caused By
Lightning.

The Mt. Olivet Tribune Democrat
says:
Early Tuesday night during the
prevalence of an electrical storm, the
large barn on the farm of Mrs. Lucy
Wood, near Bridgeville pike. was
struck by lightning and destroyed, in
GLIDING about 1000 tobacco sticks. We
learn there was $500 insurance on the
building. The barn was 45x50 feet,
full frame and Z tiers high. II was
erected about 40 years ago by the late
n. T. Buckner on what was then
known as the Jack Kenton place and
which Mr.. Buckner had bought short
time previous to the erection of the
barn.
A dwelling-house on the farm of
Perry Case. near Woodward Chapel, in
Mason county. was struck by lightning
about the same hour as the above and
soon burned to the ground. 1t was I'M
occupied.
A strawstack on the farm of Will
liam L. Woodward. near Tangletown,
was struck by lightning on same eve

And the ladies-flappers whose hats

All in all, it promises to be regu-

indian GUIDE SELLS
MRS. STILlMAN'S LETTERS
Love Letters of Mrs. Stillman to In.
dian Guide Sold By the Indian
to Stillman's Detectives.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, May 12.-The
hearing Of testimony in the Stillmar
divorce case closed with a sensation
today when detective hired by James
A. Stillman, New York banker and
plaintiff, testified that he and Outer
bridge Horsey, one of Mr.. Stillman's
lawyers, had paid $4,000 to Fred
Beauvais, Indian guide named as core
spendent, for four letters alleged to
have been written to Beauvais by Mrs.
Anne U. Stillman.
The purchase of the letters from
Bauvais, who, Mr.. Stillman contends,
is the father of 3-year-old Guy Still
man, was made in Montreal last week,
the detective, Edmund Leigh, said. 1t
was arranged through James Shean, a
New York newspaper man, Leigh ex-
planned.
The letters, replete with terms Of
endearment and such expressions as
81 love ever pore of your skin," and
when can We get married?" were ac-
cepted in evidence after Mrs. Stillman
had denied ever having written them.
She swore the handwriting was not
her own, but Harriet Hubbard, house
keeper for Mr.. Stillman, looked at
them and said that to the best of her
recollection the handwriting was Mrs.
Stillman's.
