A stone drinking fountain Js placed there in honor of a Mr. Smith. You have been going down hill to. get to the river, and afler crossing shington. Dear Juniors: When you get your automobile map showing the route from Washington to Philadelphia_put a big mark at the old hotel in Bladensburg, another at Conowingo just across the Susquehanna _river, r at Long- ‘Wwood, where Mr. du Pont has his beau- Conowingo, which is very small. vou will start going up hill in a winding easy mrade and you will see some beautiful scenery. The river is full of big rocks at this point and you can see quued; ways in either directian. After Rising Sun. which. [ tuir . is a funny name, you get out of Mary- land and cross the line into Penn- sylvania, the first town being Not- tingham. After Nottingham comes Oxford, where I had lunch, and then coln University, which is off the main road about a mile. After that Is an. other town with a funny name— Toughkenamon. The road sways here and we come close to the Delaware state line. Then comes Kennett ISqunra_ which is named after a Mr. Kenneftt. and is just a mile each way as to fown limits. Soon you pass Longwood, and if you wish you can go straight east to Wilmington, but Washington's headquarters at the battle of the Brandywine shou'd kecp every one from doing that. While I was at the headquarters talking to Mr. Sanderson, who lives in ‘he house 1 saw several automobiles from other states shoot by. I do not see how any one can do that when so near that famous spot. Out In front is the best old flag in the world against a post on which is a likeness of the Father of the Country. There Is an old stone wall and some steps along the path that leads to the front door. Mr. N. C. Weyth, the famous artist, lives not far away and he has done some wonder- ful paintings of the spots around this famous place. He planted a tree near where this picture is that I have nominated for a place in_the hall of fame to the American Forestry A: sociation, which s _collecting “infor- mation about trees with a history. The hat on Washington in the sizn- post picture looks very funny nowa- days, but it reminds you of all the signposts you see in old books telling labout colonial days. It seems to me that Congress should buy this place and take good: care of it. as thev should other historic places in the country. The house is getting older and older every day. for the battle of Brandywine was fought 144 years ago this September. I could hardly be- lieve that Gen. Washington, -who afterward became the first President, walked up the path to that house and THE FAMOUS OLD FLAG TO TOURISTS WHO TRAVEL WAVES [ HIGHWAY TO BRAN directed the battle from there.

BY ELSIE ROBINS The Widow Sniggins, who lives In the gray house, has little tight eyes, a litile tight mouth and a little tight mind. At present her mind is work- ing overtime devising ways of re- forming the world. She would have all humans drink nothing but skim and stay behind closed blinds on Sun. day. She has no use for compromises. Right is white and wrong is black, and there are no middling, restful half tones. Lucille Fliffit. who rents a_room, has another view of things. Lucille has loose eyes, a loose mouth and an extremely loose mind. Lucille A Surprise for Farmer- Brown’s Boy. BY THORNTON W. BUR A cause there is that will Each mystery i —Farmer Broww's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy belicves that there is nothing that cannot be ex- vlained, 8o when he finds a mystery he will not be satisfied until he has | found out all about it. Then, of |course, it is no longer a mystery. i When he found that hole in the mid- | dle of the path along the edge of the 0ld Orcnard—the little round hole that was Striped Chipmunk’'s new doorway—it was at first a mystery. He couldn’t understand how that hole could have been dug without leaving some of the sand which had come out of it. Then he had guessed that the lightning, which docs funny things, had made that little hole ut the same time it struck the maple tree near by, | and right then it ceased to be a mys- tery. He filled up the hole and gave it no further thought. In his own mind it was no lenger a mystery and so not worth thinking about. But the very next morning it once more became a mystery. Yes, sir, that little round hole in the middle of the path became a mystery again. It became even more of a mystery than it had been at first. Farmer Brown's Boy was walking along that little path, not thinkinz of that little hole at ali, when he hap- pened to glance down and there it was LUCILLE TLIFFIT « UsoWIDOV{@leGGIN& lall. “Lucille woula have every bubble fountain spouting Martini cocktails it she had her way.

And that the essence of badness is the de-| sire to boss anl grab, whether you do it in the name of virtue or vice. THEN HE GOT DOWN ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND LOOKED VERY HARD FOR TRACKS. searched all about. He even looked ! all along the oid stone wall. But no- where could he find a grain of that sand with which he had filled that! hole the night before. The longer he looked the more puzzied he became. oever took that sand out must ve carried it away, and a long way | at that,” said he. “And how did they | carry it? I can't think of any one who' could or would do that.” | He walked back to the little round hole in the middle of the path and stood looking down at it us if it were the most wonderful thing in all the Great World. Then he got down on his hands and knees and looked very carefully for tracks. But not a foot- print could he find. You see the path was very hard and not even the prints of his own feet, big and heavy as he was, showed. “I hate to do it,” said he as he got to his feet, “but’ I am going to HIl that hole again just to see if it will be opened a second time.” And Farmer Brown's Boy did just this thing. (Copyright, 1921, by T. W. Burgess.) Sequence in Buying. It is said that Empress Eugenie| used sysiematically to go over her wardrobe four times a year, taking mental stock of what she had on what new things she wanted. She seldom bought frocks except at this time, and usually got what acces- sories, wraps and hats she needed when she bought the froc There are women of today who have some such system about mak- ing their wardrobes and two or three or four time: season start fresh with a renewed stock. This does not require any greater dress allowance than the method of buying a little bit here and a little bit there. In fact, if you have a small dress allow- ancé you can often buy more success- fully if you buy only at certain times, AL this time of year almost every one makes some purchases in ap- parel, and it is a known fact that most’ women buy accessories first, gloves, scarfs, handbags, neck acces- soriecs—all sorts of little things that be selected before the mode of can the fall is completely settled. A new is usually the next purchase, for women buy a new hat before buy a suit or coat. For_the woman who cannot buy very lavishly there is usually good sense in buying with your leftovers in mind.

Another salad is made by mincing the salmon fine and adding to it plenty of mavonnaise, with a little onion juice. This salad in the family where It is often served is always accompanied by toasted salt wafers, served warm from the oven Creamed Salmon.—Creamed salmon is best when the salmon is not broken too fine. It is better in biggish chunks than when minced—better both in appearance and in taste. Use plenty of butter and a good season- ing of salt and pepper. Steam until firm and serve with little balls of boiled white potato, gar- nished with lemon juice and minced parsiey. White sauce can be used instead of whipped cream if desired. Potatoes au Geneve.
