INTEREST DEVELOPED THROUGH
VARIETY,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: At the
anniversary week the editor thoroughly
impressed the fact upon me that ought
to be doing my duty as member of the
Social Corner, that should not only be
a member in name but in deed.
May B. would not let me forget my
duty either Every time I saw her she
reminded me that had mot written a
letter for the Social Corner
My excuse has been I'll health. haven't
had the ambition. have lost my pep"
heartily agree with Practical Polly when
she says that "she not only felt blue but
all the other colors of the rainbow after
having four grip colds" That just ex-
presses my own feelings the past winter.
Nevertheless, here goes for an attempt.
I recently heard an editor say Some
news was filling II not edifying." This
will help fill The Corner page Imagine
it will be something ike hH-or-nDiss
carpet, as I am going to write whatever
pops into my head. Here Is a thought
that may help someone as it has helped
me-
At Christmas I received amorg my
gifts a dear little blank book, Odst a
Reminder" Several times have started
to jot down in 1t something 1 wanted to
remember, but 1T looked SO dainty
hated to mar the pages. But in a recent
magazine read an article that gave mt
an idea what to do with 1t. 1t was en-
tied Her Good Time Book" 1t was
the story Of a girl who every time
things went wrong and upset her plans
she would find so much fault that She
not only made herself unhappy bu,
everyone around her, until her aunt felt
that she must in some way break her Of
the fault So in kindly way she sug
gested to her that she keep a "Goot
Times Book" and showed her how.
So each day she wrote down what hat
made her most happy, and in so doing
became happy and cheerful herself.
Now my dainty reminder will contain
the bright spots in ny life, and as

KNEW NORWICH IN DAYS GONE BY

Dear Editor and Social Corner Members:
am not a member Of your Corner but
would like my name added to your list.
Am very much interested In your letters
and read them all every week. When l
was a young girl 1 worked in the cotton
mill in Greeneville and had many friends
there. Most of whom have now passed
away. Forty-siS years ago 1 moved to
Norwich. 1 remember when there was no.
house on Laurel Hill We used to go
there to gather high laurel and it was
beautiful. The most of my married life
was spent in Norwich Landing as it was
then called. I also remember vessels
bringing in loads OF molasses and fishing
schooners landing at the docks. My boys
used to go there and get what they called
"licky dobs" by sticking their fingers in
the bunghole OF the barrel and then lick
off their fingers and what did not get IN
their mouths ran down their chin on their
| waists Such a mess they werel l spent
many happy days and many sad ones in
the Rose of New England Ny husband
died several years ago. Have two sons
left me, one is a policeman in Norwich
and one 1 am living with some where else.
Twice Twenty Am glad to see your
name in the Corner once in a while Als1
| Gala Lily.
I think for the first letter this is a long
one, and. as 1 am S6 years old. will take
| for my pen name OLD TIMER.

DELIGHTFUL TIMES

Dear Editor and Social Cornerites:
Have not written the Corner for long
time but have read all your letters and
enjoyed them all. Am glad to see 50
new ones added, do wish I lived near
er you. Would like to attend some of
your gatherings. Well Twice Twenty, 1
did not know you were poet. Some
class I'll say. Come again.
Want to say to M Hummer / tried
your white cake and it was very fine.
Talking of recipes here IS one: Hap
piness: To make it, take hall, dimly
lit; a pair of stairs where two may sit /;
Of music soft, a bar or 50; two spoons
of-just si2ons you know; of little love
pats, one or two, or one squeezed hand
instead will do. A waist-the size to be
embraced; and two ripe LIS, rose red
to taste and IL the lips are soft and sweet,
you'll find your happiness complete.

SPONGE AND TBLEPHoNE CAKE

Dear Social Corner Friends: Just 2
few lines this sunshiny morning. l have
been looking through my cook book and I
found a very good recipe for sponge
cake without milk or water, and thought
some of the sisters would like to try it.
Also 1 am sending a fine recipe for tele-
phone cake:

bic housekeeping. and maybe it was-I
only know it isn't anywhere near hum
dred years and yet nobody knows whetfi-
er she scrubbed the kitchen floor, or not,
but her daughter knows what a iovabie
companion she was, and how her neigh
bors loved her.
Happiness is born within and must be
fosteFed within. 1t is a secret well fed
by springs that are open to all who
would drink. Joy in life is only found
by looking at life joyfully, tolerably, hu-
morously, gently, lovingly. Learn TO
look out from house of happiness, and,
sooner or later, you will find the struc-
lure has reared itself around you

TRY TO PLEASE THE GID woLKs


Dear Social Corner guess it is about
time to write or you will think this sis
ter doesn't want to. But l haven't for
gotten You if haven't written for some
time. Working in the mill, doing my work
at home and sewing for three girls keeps
me busy. My girls help me a great deal
but they still go to school. the oldest be-
ing a.
l have been sick and before 1 was able
to do much dear uncle who lived with
us was taken sick and died, SO L can
syns1athize with those who are or have
been sick and those who have lost dear
ones.
l have found when people get along in
years they want more love and more care
and there is great satisfaction in meeting
their needs. They are at the time of life
| when they have Alright to expect a return
of the love they have been distributing for
years. So don't neglect the old folks,
| try to please them.
Why don't the members up this way
| help Eta Barber to form the new club
and thus provide for a good time for
| those who are unable to get to Norwich
We can have home club and good times
here.
With best wishes for the. Corner.

NEW BOWLERS
TAKE UP SPORT
VERY EAGERLY
More Than 500 Business
Houses Form Teams
for Employees

Perhaps IL no former year in
the history of bowling in New
York city has there been such an
influx of new boWlers as in the
present season. Dozens of these
men have never bowled before
and many more have not bowled
in recent years and at no time to
any great extent. And these new
bowlers have brought new life,
new enthusiasm into the game,
have been the cause Of the upset
OF many old fashioned ideas in
treatment service and require
ments-all of which is of great
benefit to the game in general.
Practically the entire bulk of
these newcomers are recruits
from the ranks of employees and
officials of Big Business, firms
that deal in millions and write
their cheques, if necessary, in the
same amount. Many of them are
from the various fraternities,
such as the Masons, X. Of c., Ar
canum, Elks and the like.
Banks, brokers, bond houses, all
furnish a big quota Of these en-
thusiaStS.
The reason? Simple. Bowling
in the last few years has been
stripped, separated from its vici-
Gus and artificial and obnoxious
surroundings and, as d conse-
quence, the beauties Of the sport,
The immense possibilities of the
sport, the immense possibilities it
possesses for sociability, fraterni-
ling, all-arsund exercise and re-
creation have been land bare to
the man who has been looking for
Just such qualifications of me-
dunn for his employees, himself
and his partners, and he has lost
no time in taking advantage Of
the opportunities opened to him.
Hence the hundreds of leagues
which have been organized the
past year, bowling in tournament
form, in which the employees as
a body meet on given Sights and
match their ability in the good
old game of bowling to the end
that they may have proper eX-
