Now who is ceventh?” This time Peter was stuck, and he knew it. He hadn't the remotest idea who that seventh sleeper was. He knew there was no use in guessing, so he frankly admitted that he didn't know. Spooky chuckled. “I had no idea that you did know,” siad he. “It Is the Brown Bat.” “The Brown Bat!” exclaimed Peter, 1s eyes very wide in onishment. oes he slecp all winter I didn't say so,” chuckled Spooky. “I said that people call him one of the seven sleepers. I don’t take much stock in it myself. He may sleepall winter in some parts of the country. He may do it here once in a while, but I've taken particular notice that most of the bats go south with the birds. Now Seek Seek the Spermo- phile, the Ground Squir in to Striped Chipmunk, I sleeper. He ought to be the seventh sleeper if folks must have seven. My goodness, if I don't get busy right away 1 will go hungry tonight. Good-bye, Peter. See you another evening.” Spooky spread his wings and, like a shadow, silently drifted out ‘of sight. (Copyrigut, t 1921, by T. W. Burgess.) New Gingham Frocks. Some of the best dressmakers are making gingham frocks for spring and summer trimmed with wool em- droidery. Kspecially attractive are those with hems run with wool. One attractive model made of brown-and- white cheg) raight gathered skirt with a series of three tucks run in brown wool stitches about a half inch in length. Then there a are charming little gingham dresses made with wool em- broidered flowers or fruit. How- ever, there is always real wisdom in making gingham frocks so that they may be e ed und ironed and this woolen embroidery does not recommed itself on this score. The wool Tun tucks are possible providing you take the tuck originally in ma- chine stitching, simply using the wool-running for ornamentation. One of the greatest advantages in making gingham dresses at home is that you may have them shrunk be- forehand. It is also a good plan to have the color set before the ma- terial is cut,and this can be done at the same time that you are shrinking the goods. The substances usually used for setting colors are salt, vinegar, alum or sugar of lead. The last-mentioned is a poison, so it is better not te use it. To set the color in any material dissolve in a gallon of warm water one-half cup of strong vinegar, two cups of salt or one tablespoon of alum. Mix thoroughly and let the material soak in this overnight. Dry before it is admitted to clear water. In selecting the material for ging- ham frocks it is always worth While to pay the price required to get the best quality. Certain standard makes of high-priced gingham are a good choice, as you may depend on the quality of these. _— e sections. Street broidered barbaric.

Raisins, therefore, are nutritious and digestible, and they are, moreover, palatable” and cheap. During the winter months an average family should use a pound of raisins a week, at least, and it is wise, therefore, to buy them in quantity. moist and zood in small, stone crocks. Raisins are an excellent substitute for candy. Almost every child likes them just as well, and, where the sugar and chocolate of bought candy would upset his digestion, make him constipated, pale and heavy-eved., a handful of clean raisins would sat- isfy his craving for sweets and aid, rather than injure, his digestion They keep covered, Be sure the raisins are clean. Look them over and pick out imperfect ones. Wash them well in a strainer sct in a bowl If you wish to seed them, though you can buy them Seced- ed, or children may very well be left to'do that for themselves, pour boil- ing water over a few at a time, drain and press out the seeds on oiled pa- per on the breadboard with the roll- ing pin. E For children of delicate digestion the raisins may be soaked and cooked very slowly until plump and soft. For sick children an_ excellent and nourishing_drink—really unferment- ed grape juice—can be made of the sweet liquor in which raisins are boiled. No_sugar, but a little lemon juice may be added.
