Fiappiness just spreads around : Won't be confised and won’t be boond. —Skimmer the Swailow, There were no happier people in the Old Orchard than Skimmer the Swallow and Mrs. Skimmer. They were back in the house which they considered to be rightfully their own. Neither Timmy the Flying Squirrel nor Mrs. Timm$ had returned. The Skimmers didn't know what to make ©of it. They couldn't believe that Timmy and Mrs. Timmy really had deserted that little house. So as they worked building their nest they took care never to leave that little house unguarded. Always one remained there while the other hunted for material with which to build the nest. Now they might have used the soft, ‘warm bed that Timmy and Mrs. Tim- my had left in that little house. It really was a splendid bed. But it didn't suit Mrs. Skimmer at all, She had very decided ideas as to how & nest should be built for self-sup- porting Swallows. First, there must be a certain amount of soft, dead grass. They brought it piece by piece. Mrs. Skimmer was very fussy i~ getting this placed to suit her. she %ad emough grass she in- sisted on feathers for the lining of the nest. There had been no trouble in find- ing the soft grass, but the finding of feathers was another matter. They had to hunt and hunt to find enough. On their swift wings they skimmed just above the ground all through the Old Orchard, -and even out over the Green Meadows. As they skimmed along so swiftly their sharp little eyes were watching for a feather that might have been dropped by some of their feathered neighbors. But it was up around Farmer Brown's henyard that they searched most closely. ned. rs. At last the nest was properly li Such a dainty nest as it was! M Skimmer was very proud of it. The morning after the nest was finished she sent Skimmer inside while she went out for her breakfast. What do you think Skimmer found in there? it was a dainty little egg! A dainty Jittle egg of pure white! Then Skimmer's joy knew no bound. He sat in the doorway and twittered from pure happiness. Three days later there were four of those dainty little eggs, and Mras.

Many of these white materials are of cotton, and fine linen is used in combination with lace and hemstitching. More desira- ble in the estiination of some women are the crepe silk fabrics.

If his wife is nagging, she takes the heart out of him and gives him that Oh-what's-the-use feeling that is death to all ambition and initiative.

It is, therefore, to the interest of every husband to keep his wife in the proper frame of mind, to keep her bucked up and interested in her job. The simple secret of how to do this is just to give her a little amusement, and to realize that if all work and no play makes John a dull boy, all work and no play makes Jane not peevish companion. nly a dull girl, but an exceedingly DUluNG the course of a year I get at least 10,000 letters from disgruntled wives, who say that they are married to men who are moral and upright, who are kind to them and good providers, but that their husbands never take them to any place of amusement, treat, never try to bring any pleasure never give them any little into thefr lives, and that they have EOt to the place where they feel they cannot stand this deadly monotony any longer and that they would run off and leave their homes if it were not for the children.

It seems like nagging to repeat month after month the same advice: | Brush your teeth night and morning, | and every six months go to a dentist | to have them professionally cleaned | and any necessary dental work done. | But that is the way, and the only way, to have beautiful and sting teeth. No face can be attractive if one's tecth are ugly, discolored or obviously false. Then, too, if the teeth are o neglected that they must be pulled, the gums naturally shrink and the cheeks sink into hallows that make the face look at least ten vears older. These points are vital. The tooth brush must be of the best quality and moderately stiff. The teeth must be brushed up and down so the bristles can go between the teeth, for that Is where food collects and cavities'form If the digestion is upset the teeth will need more than just ordinary care. In addition to the nightly brushing, a mouth wash is desirable. There is nothing better than plain salt and water which may be used cither hot or cold, as salty water is tiseptic. *The Salty water is good for acidity. If the trouble s very bad, try milk of ————— Custard Apple Snow. Peel and_ grate one large sour apple, sprinkling over it one cupful of powdered sugar as you grate it to keep it from turning dark. Now break in the whites of two eggs and beat constantly for half an hour, taking care to have it in a large bowl, as it beats up very stiff and light. Heap in a glass dish and pour around it a fine, smooth custard, then serve. Shoulder of Lamb Saute. Cut a shoulder of lamb in pieces for serving, having them about an inch thick. Cover with, boiling water, let boil about five minutes, then sim- mer until tender. Skim the pieces from broth, roll them in flour mixed Wwith salt and pepper, and let cook in a little hot fat, bacon, or salt pork un- til lightly browned on one side, then turn to brown the other side. Make a sauce with the broth: salt and pep- per. This makes a change from or- dinary boiled or stewed lamb. My Neighbor Says: ‘When cleaning a sewing ma- chine first place it near a fire to get warm so that the congealed ofl may melt, then oil it thor- oughly with paraffin. Work it quickly for a few drops of ma- chine ofl. After the application of a little more kerosene wipe it again and it will be ready for use. People often shirk the trouble of cleaning their ma- chines like this, but a clogged and heavy machine under this treatment will become like new, and its easy working will be ample reward for the trouble incurred.

The crown is of the sheerest cloth of gold one can find—and it is covered in rich cream lace that falls through a slit at the right side of the crown and descends almost to the waist. The brim can be of cream, or faint pink, or peach, or any of the pastel shades, preferably cream. And it has a flange of cloth of gold. What Today Means to You| BY MARY BLAKE. Gemini. The aspects during the early part of the day are excellent and favor decision and resolution in all walks of life. Weakness and vacillation should be avoided and problems of a financial or domestic nature which have been perplexities for some time past should be solved with quick de- termiantion. Later on in the day the aspects rather negative aggressive- ness and counsel reflection and thought. A child born teday will, under or- dinary conditions, enjoy excellent health and will grow up along pleas— antly normal lines, without display- ing ‘any outstanding virtues or re- vealing any exceptinoal weaknesses. On maturity, however, it will be lia- ble to kick over the traces and be- come unconventional, without neces- | sarily being conscious of any wrong- doing. Its education should, there- fore, be along liberal lines and it should not be too strictly or harshly censored for not, at all times, tread- ing the narrow path. Reason and affection will do more for the child’s ultimate good than repressive meas- ure: It today is your birthday and you are wondering on this auspicious oc- | casion why you are not farther ahead |in life's race and why your friends |are so few, will not self-analysis | show you the reason is that you are too critical of other's actions and mo- tives? When told of something accomplish- ed by another, either in commercial, political or social circles, you either damn_ the effort with faint prajse or find fault with it, thinking all the time of the way in which you would have done it and how much better that way would have been. This at- titude is at once a conceited and dis- couraging one: it at no time endears you to the object of your criticiem, nor is it helpful. Approval, too, is not lacking solely as a result of your deliberato judg- ment, but you must admit—if your self-analysis be honest—that it often springs from an unhealthy mind con- dition which causes your inz#lity to concede the goodness of other peo- ple's motives. Criticism, to be effective, onstructive, and not alone destruct- |ive. Above all, it must be healthy in motive and clean in character.

D., Noted Physician and Author. Second Wind. Every real boy knows what second wind is. The athlete who is well trained gets his second wind just about the time the poorly trained runner drops out “winded,” about three minutes after the start of a race, in the third quarter mile stretch. It's a grand and glorious feeling, if I may borrow the expression of Mr. Briggs. It is a sudden relief from the distress or agony of breathless- ness, the movements of the chest and belly being suddenly- freed of | seeming restraint and amplified, the excursions of the diaphragm being ' yter of furnishing more increased, and the ventilation of the blood by the lungs being consequent- 1y improved. At the time of second wind the right ventriele of the heart, which pumps blood to the lyngs, cxpands or dilates sufficiently to accommo- date the increased volume of blood being pumped. It is right here that the vital question of athletic train- Ing in youth intrudes itself. If the athlete has been intelligently trained, under the ®ontrol and direction of a scientific physical director and not the uneducated amateur or profes- sional “trainer” that too often holds such a post, the heart is hyper- trophied and the enlarged heart muscle is free to recover from the stretching or dilation. The poorly trained heart muscle lacks this vital- ly essential capacity and the youth who undertakes such contests with the inadequate training which the quack “trainer” gives endangers his whole future health and career. No boy of high school age should ever be permitted to enter a mile race, for even a 440-yard or 400-meter race, for these are tests of @ man's endurance and the most careful training is necessary for safety, to say nothing of success in such con- tests, and rarely can the growing boy have the physical training these Ahealth drink for children High in vitamine content.
