It certalnly sounded like the voice of Jenny Wren, but Jenny ¥ad been a long time from her sum- mer home, 5o, of course, they must be mistaken. At last they heard the flit of small wings, and a small, brown person with snapping, bright eyes and an impudent cock to her tall alighted on the edge of the man-bird. “Jenny Wren!" speaked Danny Meadon Mouse. » Jenny Wren! “Certainly! tut, tut! squeaked Nanny.

Then Jenny Wren spied Danny and | Nanny Meadow Mouse, and her sur- prise was so great that she almost fell from her perch on the :dge of the great man-bird. She blinked several times, and the look on her face was so funny that Danny and Nanny chuckled. They counldn’t help it. Then Jenny found her volee, “Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut!

Danny looked at Nanny, and Nanny looked at Danny. At just the same |instant the same idea had come to each. Could it be that that great man-bird was going to the Sunny South to spend the winter and taking them along? Could it be? (Copyright, 1923, by T. W. Burgess.) —— Normandy Omelet. Pare five apples and core and slic them. Fry in butter until done, lhe; remove from the pan. Beat four eggs together, season with salt and place the mixture in the same pan in which you cooked the apples. Add the Bliced apples, then add the rest of the egg.

Preumonia is called Captain of the Men of Death. It is sometimes called the friend of the aged, because it takes them off with a short, not very painful iliness, sparing them the cold gradations of decay. We hope we shall never live to see the day when pneumonia wiil be our friend. We want to go with our boots and har- nss on, not tucked In bed, dozing gently away between two days. In the aged pneumonia often de- velops insidiously. No chiil, no no- ticeable cough, no complaint of pain— just a desire to go to bed or an in- creasing prostration. Often no fever- ishness. And all in a few hours or a day or two comes the silent end Many a death ocertificate is signe: “heart failure” when In truth pneu. monia is the final illness People most shut up indoors in nice warm places where there are no drafts are most susceptible to pneu- monia and all other respiratory all- ments.

Pneumonia, like all respiratory in- feotions, is a warm air disease—arti- ficlally warmed air. The warmer you keep your cave, your inclosure— house, office, shop, oar, theater or ‘what not—the better the soil and the larger your chance of picking up a virulent eolony of pneumococci. Cool fresh air discourages the migration of the “cold" germs Warm air fa- wvors it. A chill or chilliness commonly an- nounces the onset of pneumonta or any other respiratory infection, even a coryza. But don't be fooled by the chill. Don't be a fishwife. Use your brain. The chill is a symptom, and a favorable one, at that—not a cause of the {linesa.

It is the convulsion of war, and {f you happen to Le a child it is probably a real convulsion in- stead of a chill. Outside of fresh air—which means air never allowed to rise above 68 degrees Fahrenheit—the most effec- tive preventive of pneumonia is a hyglenically clean mouth.

The fox trot, which has apparently come to stay in dancing, takes ita name from the similarity of its move- ments to the pecullar step of the American trotting horse when it is making fast time, and not to the re- semblance to a fox's movements. The poRularity of the fox trot is found n its rhythm, of course, and this is one of the characteristics of a trot- ting horse when he {s making good time. though when a trotter Is just joEging along there isn't so much rhythm in evidence.

Greens, too, are prominent, and, as usual, shades of pink and rose with occasional lavenders are in order. The baby blue, once coneidored so appropriate for the little girl, seems to have lost its hold. Psychologists will tell you that the normal child seldom chooses blue of its own ac- cord, and he would, if you gave him a chance, probably give you a long scientific explanation for this. And since the children seem to be pick- ing out thelr own frocks now, natu- rally blue has gone by the boanis.

One mother say: Did you ever think how the up-to- date schools make so much effort to adjust the seats to the child, so as to’ make correct posture possible? And yet these children come home and are often forced to sit at the dinner table in chairs made for adults and bend over the study table be- cause the chair {s not right. Fur. niture should be adjusted to the growing child in the home as well as in the school. My husband feels that time spent in sawing down the legs of an old study table or in putting blocks on the legs of a chair is well spent. e Corn Chowder Pickle.

Make into a large steak-shaped piece, about one inch thick. Pat this smooth and press to- gether with sufficient firmness to in- sure its holding together, then place on a wire broller. Turn quickly after searing one side and repeat according to methed for brotling ordinary steak. Have ready a hot platter and slip the steak carefully onto this, Dot with bits of butter and garnish with parsley. Never salt broiled meat before cook- Ing, as this brings out the juices and wastes some of the flavor. This makes too large a meat allow- ance for two persons at one meal, but it is hardly practicable to purchase less. Any laft-over portions may be used as a fllling for tiny “surprise biscuits.” To make the surprise biscuits pre- pare an ordinary dough as for baking powder biscuits, pat out, fill with the | meat, which has been moistened with | brown gravy; fold over from the out- de eges 80 a8 to enclose the meat | and bake. Serve Rot for luncheon, One way to “dress up" every day stew Is to serve it with a border of pink rice. This border is made by boiling rice In strained tomato juice. The we. '"l.,"{';f Dllnk ::ol;fl" is vrdry attractive an omato julce adds materiall to the food valus of the dish. 7 8till another method of varying an everyday dish is to make a scallop of rice and meat. For this use one cup of cooked rice, one-half pound of chopped meat and & slice of onfon. Line a baking dish which has beer well greased with rice, cover with meat, season, add another layer of rice and moisten the whole with brown gravy or strained tomato, Brown in the oven. The proportions for a stew to be used as a basis for various dishes should be: One-half pound of beet from the rump, one-half pound of breast of lamb, one cup chopped car- rots, one cup turnips, four onfons, two potatoes and a teaspoon of salt. All sorts of things may go into this tew—left-over oatmeal, bits of fresh vegetables, the last few spoonfuls of a freshly opened can of tomatoes. The more complex the flavor the more toothsome the stew, provided the flavoring is done with care and judg- ment.
