A DAY AT THE FAIR

Dear Social Corner: It is rather late to write about the Brooklyn fair, but I could not get at it until this week. We left home Wednesday on the early car, which reaches Dani.lson about ten. From there by motor bus to Brooklyn Fare was twenty cents. I had about two cents worth for the sea-s are built for slim people.
 When we went over a rough place had to grab the nearest thing to keep my seat. But the way was short and we soon drew up with a snort ard 4 E-oal to the gate.
 There was some noise from the blankets and doll game boys. We turned to- the exhibition hall. Such a display of fancy work and such beautiful things! I said to Mister P: Don't you think this trim | ming is pretty? "Yes," he replied, ''my grandmother wove them and had them on l her beds" found he was looking at knitted bed spreads.
 It certainly was a beautiful display and think of the yards and yards of thread i that was used to make it, saying noth- 1 ing about the patience that is required to make it right. After we had gone round and round so not to miss any thing, we stopped at the lunch and had 1 a. piece of Windham county squash | pie to keep up on our way to see Violet l and her nine, also, Rose and her four From there we followed our noses to the hen hall. We fingered awhile for Mister P. was bewitched with the birds l I had to drag him, away or he would have been there until now. told him heard it thunder so that started him out and when he caught sight of Peggie he forgot about the rest. You know how it is when man catches sight of a her he never knows when to stop looking
 But got him away after awhile. Every time we went by the blanket game would say I like the blue plaid one. M1s ter P would say it's a gambling game But all the while I wanted to invest ;

EACH ONE SHOULD WRITE TO THE

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner Someone has said that advice might prove an excellent and acceptable gift were everyone not so eager to bestow it. Unfortunately, we all have 50 much of it to give away that it has lost whatever of value it may have had. This is distinctly thing to be regret ted for on. the general principle that two heads are better than one," I may if you are but wiling to heed-be able to help you to see how beautiful our little span of life may be.
 Where is the woman who possesses the courage to fling worry utterly aside: to decline. under any and all cir cumstances to give at harborage; and through whatsoever trials and troubles may beset us, to refuse to permit the worries of tomorrow to cripple our ener- gies today?

COMING BACK TO CONNECTKCOT.
 To the Editor and Sisters of the So- cia1 Corner: It Is three years since I have written and then it was My Eni- grafton to York State, for which was very pleased to receive yellow slip.
 Now I will relate my trip back home to Connecticut. On August IS. we started on our truck "Jack" with our dear old fathers and grandfather's and aunt's rocking chairs and feather beds We could not part with.
 We travelled from Alton te Worches- ter, N. T., where we stayed over night at the Central House. A young lawyer of Alton who wanted to take va <ition trip acted as our chauffeur. He got quite dirty after several slides under the truck to be sure all was well. When we appeared in the hall for supper I did not know him, he had put on so much style. Next day we started on our trip, went through Albany and crossed the Hudson on new bridge which is nearly finished We covered 92 miles and stop ped at the Valley View farm for tourists at New Lebanon Center, N. Y. Next Lebanon mountain, a grade of four miles, stopped at Jacobs Ladder and took in the view, the summit being 20o0 feet above sea level. We stopped at Ja- cob's well and had drink of good, cold spring water. The scenery along Ja- cob's Ladder Trail and the Mohawk Trail was just fine. We crossed tAs Connect cut river at Springfield on the fine new bridge which I was told cost $6,oo0, ,ooo AS thunder storm was coming we stop ped at Somers for the night. We found nice boarding house where it was much more reasonable than at the hotels and tourists places.
 It was my job to feed oar pet cat who rode in a strawberry crate on the run ming board. When we stopped at tea ] rooms for refreshments, tourists would ask me if I had an Angora cat. Ou1 chauffeur said I should have told then I "Why, no, he is an imported cat from South America" We did not arrive al l our home until Saturday noon. We stop | ped along the way and made so many calls on old friends. A neighbor me us at our door with a pitcher of hot cof fee and plate of sandwiches which VI 1 appreciated very much.
 | Our pet did not enjoy his trip and new home 50 on Monday we got aboard ! Jack" and took him over to the High lands of Chaplin to board with my siste Nema where he is recovering.
 l My better half was afraid he woul, miss some of the fine scenery so he rod 1 all the way 25o miles, standing on tn running board.
 Since have been here enjoyed bus ride with some of the sisters t Ocean Beach Aug. 30.
 I attended he picnic at Aunty No. f and I too thank. Mfr. Theoda for tha trip as I would not have felt I could g if it had not been for his kindness Il going and taking us in his nice cal There met Bob White and through he thoughtfulness called on Sister wyma and Betsey Bray, which I enjoyed yer much.

FOUND MUCH ENJOYMENT n
 PICNICS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: have en- joyed the Social Corner picnics so much during the summer months. Yes, more than can tell, not only in meeting old friends but in making new, and now the trees, although looking, lovely in their dress of red, green, brown and gold, will soon be sleeping till spring, when they will appear in a new dress of green And the beautiful flowers, how we hate to see them go. I autoed to Hartford Mon day, and the scenery was truly wonderful My daughter brought me a lovely yellow rose, the only one left on the bush and I have received some lovely bouquets feen Olives garden during the summer, which have been appreciated not only by myself but by the rest of the family. And now we start in again holding our meetings in the hall. where we all enjoy ourselves and make many new aequaint- 1 ances in the rightly named Social Corner society.
 Best wishes for all members LAVENDER,

RECALLS PLACES OF CHEAT PER
 soNAL INTEREST

Social Corner Editor: Having tus4 received roll of Bulletins from one of the regular subscribers and enjoyed them especially the Social Corner page. I de- cided to enter this Mystic Corner once again for 8 chat. I read the account of the picnic at c. E. SIS in Scotland and know you surely had good time I was at gathering of the sisters when they met there once before. There are many places of great interest to me in Can terbury, Westminster, Scotland and Hampton, and Westminster church es- pecially as my ancestors were originally active there.
 Once upon time I vas walking to church on a Sunday morning, I had most three miles to walk and going through small woods I saw dog com ing toward me. As he drew near. Che had no no intention of turning out of the path) I jumped aSide and let him pass thinking, 'how strange"

SOME USES FOR PARCHMENT PA.
 PER.

Dear Cornerftes: I want to ten the readers of the Social Corner what an absolute saving of dishes it is to use parchment paper. It is such a help tp the kitchen. When using the food-grind- CT, tear off piece of this paper and put it under the grinder to catch the ground food. The paper Is absolutely clean. made expressly for such purposes, and will not harm the most delicate food. By catching your ground food on this bit of paper, you can transfer it to the sauce pan or other utensh just as readily as you could from a plate. At the same time you do not have to get out a plate and have to wash it. You merely toss 1t in the waste basket.
 Cleaning fish is something nearly ev- cry householder dreads. Just tear of square of the paper, clean your fish oE it, and afterward drop it in the gar bage pail.
 If you want to stft little four, in- stead of using an enaheled basin, gc to your parchment paper and tear of a large piece. It is quite convenient Lift it up by the two edges and yneu you can dispose of 1t as you desire. If you are hulhng strawberries, seed. ing raisins or doing any work such as cleaning entrants and picking over ber- ries it is handy. I use it to wrap around fish for boiling very successfully, Instead 1 of cloth, although waterproof, after be ing in boiling water this quality boil: l out and leaves strong fbrouS texture about the fish.
 It is also invaluable where there art very small children, as it is white. and 1 clean, and makes admirable doilies tt

roRr1ETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY


 Dear Social Corner Sisters: The first thing want to thank the editor for the yellow slip which I was much surprised to get but it was very welcome. My husband and I went to Putnam recently and spent few days with our small daughter" While there we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. My son and family came and some other friends and we had nice dinner and we received quite a few presents and some money. AL so received cards and letters through the mail. It don't seem possible that we have been married 40 years the first day of this month, but it is 50 and again when I look back and think of all that has hap pened 1t seems as if the time had been too short for so much to be. We lived In this same house all but few months of the time, so it seems very much like home. I would liked so much to have gone to the Buckingham for the October meeting but lots of things happened tc prevent. Hope to meet with you all soon and best wishes for the Corner from MA OF GREENE CABLES.
