HOW 70 MAKE LIGHTNING CAKE


Dear Social Corner Sisters: Having
only written one letter. think perhaps I
had better wake up and write a few
lines.
I was one of those who went to Will
mantle March 9Th, and must say that I
had fine time at the anniversary meet
ing Of Club No. l. There wG-e at
least fifteen If not more, that went from
here. After getting off the car in
Wi!limantic, we went up Main street
until we came to a door with talIow
crepe paper tied on to the knob and
knew We must have reached our des-
ttnation. I thought 1t a clever idea to
let srvone know where the hall was that
wasn't very well acquainted with the
town. Bi7dv was hostess and she an
her assistants were In costumes. A very
nice dinner was serves and very inter
esting and amusing entertainment follow
ed afterwards. I certainly enjoyed nv
self and think that everybody else who
went from Norwich did, also.
Here Is a racine for lightning cake
which IS very good:
lightning Cake: One cup sugar, one
and one-half cups -four. two teaspoons
os'ring power. S,fi these al toeetter
Melt one-quarter cup butter, add two eggs

many have sent in recipes that are like
the ones I have. So did not want to re-
peat. 50 didn't write at all But I did
know Kate. Mary and Joe. and showed
them some tavors that they appreciated
very much. I also knew Jerry Biuebag.

Dear Corner Folks and Editor: One
must write uron subjects that they best
understand, and the housekeeper's life is
so interviewer with cooking that her IN
terests would naturally be in this line Of
work.
We cannot do away with the recipes,
but they can be modified If too eXtrava-
CANT for the lattened pocletbook.
Experimenting is always in order TO
earn the results.
I have taken some Of the green toma-
toes from the brine and they are similar
to cucurnbers and can be added to raw
cabbage, chopped fine and seasoned for
salad The apples are less salty and can
be used in mince meat.
The n.pe ones can be cooked in soups
or stews but not eaten as if they were
fresh frdit
Theories are one thing but the practI-
cal experience is the proof
with all good wishes for those who are
not we'll and may they be restored to
health and Join the lively BIS Corner

ROBINS HEARD BUT NOT SEEN.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sisters:
Well. what a won, erful day we had
Monday. 1t certainly made a body feel
good after all the sickness we have had
and bad weather, too, to get out of doors
and hear the robins sing. And I actually
cid hear the ROBINS, although ! did not
see them.
We have had two pairs Of b,uejays
here all winter and We love to watch
them.
Now, Ma Of Greene Gables, If you liv-
ed near me you would soon hear the
peep frogs. There are plenty Of them
when they get started.
Oh, what a shock you gave me, Ma,
when you said house cleaning" ! had
almost forgotten It and surely do wish
there was no such thing. especially as
have a three and half year old busy
body that Is all that the name implies.
