But though he knew that they were there, he didn't know how many there were, nor did he have any idea what they looked like. What is more, Bobby had no idea of trying to find out anything more about them. He was no longer interested in them. the least idea whose never, never POREY. in all secret MRS.

The fact that linen has dropped in price and improved much in qual- ity since the war brings it within the reach of many who regarded it as out of their reach a few years ago. Menu for a Day.

In fact, they were just the opposite from beauti ful But Mrs. Porky looked at them through eyes of mother love, and this v; ()!-4 them beautiful and wonderful | They were only a couple of day: |old, but they were surprisingly big Probably in all Green Forest there were no other babies nearly as big for the size of their mother as these two fretful babies in the bottom of that hollow in the big tree. At the time they were born they actually were as big as Buster Bear' twin: when they were born. Yes, sir, that is a fact. You know, of course, how Prickly Porky carries a thousand little spears hidden in his coat, and how for this reason all the other people of the Gireen Forest respect him and avoid him. It is the same way with Mrs. Porky. But you wouldn't ex- pect to find two day-old babies pro- tected in the same way, would you But they were. Yes, gir, they were. Those two home funny little babies were born with little spears or quills hidden in_their coats. It was well for Bobby Coon he hadn't succeeded in reaching those babies before the return of Mrs. Porky. He would have received ©one of the most unpleasant surprises in his whole life. I suspeet that right away he would have lost his appe- tite for fresh meat. Those babies were not quite so helpless as their whining and crying had led him to think. And how proud Mrs. Porky was of them! There was no prouder mother in all the Green Forest. She left them only long enough to go out for food, and of course she didn’'t have to go far for that. In this she was more fortunate than some of the other mothers of the Green Forest. AS a matter of fact she had been only a couple of trees away when Bobby Coon had climbed up to the entrance of her home. He hadn't seen her because she had been high up in the tree en had he seen her he probably would not have guessed that those babies were hers, But all is well that ends well. Bobby Coon soon found a good meal elsewhere. And the Porky babies were soon asleep with their mother that and in all the Green Forestyou couldn’t have found two queerer looking babies, SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. What Do You Look For at the Lining Counter? What's the limit of your knowledge in the lining line?

You will find it in linen or cotton. “Buckram” gets its name from the city of Bokhara, Italy, where it was first manufactured. e Canvas is an excellent “stiffening,’ too.

Wigan is an excellent choice when you want an extremely stiff lining. it is of cotton, usually in drab, gray or black. ‘Nvigan” ‘gets its name from Wigan, England. “Interlining” merely means a lay- er of material placed between the lining and the cloth, either to give stiffness or warmth, “Quilted lining” is simply a lining made of cotton wadding between two pieces of material, all held together by quilted stitches. Its principal use is for lining winter wraps. “Wadding,” the inside material used for these interlinings and quilt- ed linings, is a thinly rolled-out piece of cotton or wool Bookbinders’ Paste. This paste is far superior to the ordinary kind and will also keep good for a long time, so that you can al- ways have a supply on hand.

Add one lump of sugar, one heaping teaspoonful of powdered alum and half a teaspoonful of ‘es- sence of cloves. Be careful to beat out all lumps from the flour. Pour half a pint of boiling water on to the mixture, still beating with a spoon. Put it into a small double saucepan and boil steadily for twenty minutes, COLOR CUT-OUT The Wild Man From Borneo.

What Today Means to Youl BY MARY BLAKE. CANCER. ‘Today’s aspects are good until late in the afternoon, thercafter they are of an adverse character. In the early part of the day they favor all progressive action and thought, es- pecially along educational or politi- cal lines; they are also favorable to business promotion of a conservative nature. In the evening, rest and rec- reation, cessation of activities and attention only to routine work are counseled. A child born today will not be so physically strong as might be desired; careful attention must be paid to its diet, and it must have as much out- door exercise as possible. It will be patient, and have a very affectionate and sensitive disposition. It must have a bright and cheerful environ- ment, and any severe discipline will only accentuate the faults which it is hoped to change. Only by great love and kindness can this child's weak- nesses be strengthened, and its er- rors corrected. 1f today is your birthday vou stul- tify yourself by the assumption of a reserve which is chilling to your friends and associates and very un- satisfactory to yourself. Your charac- ter is naturally generous, and your disposition affectionate and kindly; you, however, seem afraid to reveal yourself in your true colors. and, by your timidity and forced “hauteur,” neither give nor experience the hap- piness which is your due. The mainspring of your trouble is your self-consciousness. You are al- ways thinking, when it is too late, of some kind or appropriate remark you might have made, or of some gen- erous and thougghtful action you might have performed. Excessive self-assertiveness is as distasteful as exceeding self-consciousness is harm- ful. Very few love matches are success- ful when demonstration is lacking. It is not enough to take love for granted; there must be the spoken word. It is not sufficient to think that actions alone will satisfy the cravings of an affectionate friendship; it also demands verbal assertion. A kindly act, and an opportune one, is a kernel sown, that will grow to a goodly tree, shedding its fruit, when time has flown, down the gulf of eternity. Successful people born on this date are: Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration; George Bruce, type- founder; George W. Flagg, artist; Thomas W. Knox, author, traveler and inventor; Sereno E. Payne, law- yer and congressman; Abner Double- day, soldier. Strawberry Cups.

There are moments when every woman feels plain, no macter how beautiful she is ordinarily. Either her hair hangs limply and unbecom- ing or her complexion has gone sallow and ugly, or full-fledged wrin- kles appear where no wrinkle was ever seen before, or—but why go on with the long list? We all know those plain moments! Personally, I believe in doing some- thing frivolous and a little extrava- gant at once. Having straight hair, I go forth and have it shampooed and waved. Ialways feel that life is not to be taken so seriously with a quite perfect marcel wave as with wisps and strings of hair that fly about in the wrong directions. Try it, a bad way of getting over a *“ moment. Ordinarily waved hair may not become you at all, but the chances are nine to ten that it will when you are out of sorts. i Or have a face massage. There's something delightfully soothing about packs made of hot towels and slathers of deliciously pink cream. And it's so nice to be fussed over in a plain mo- ment; nice even though one pays $2 for the fussing and the sympathetic As to Books. What are the good books for chil- dren? There is no list that will fit all children. The idea that it is pos- sible to make and hold all the youngsters to it is responsible for a good deal of the trouble that arises between parents and their children over the reading question. A good book is one that satisfies the mind's hunger, and minds, like stomachs, are extremely individual and demand ersonal attention. P There are some children who read everything that’s printed when it comes their way. They begin with the billboards and continue with the advertisements in the magazines and then on to the books at hand. Those children do not seem to be the sort that are looking for forbidden fruit, and when, now and then, they get some, it does them no harm because they are not searching for it. Their minds are directed other ways, and the bit of the story that touches on ills they know not of passes harm- ssly. 1 innot, for instance, see how any child could get harm out of reading “Adam Bede” A mother found her ten-year-old daughter absorbed in its story, and was greatly distressed. “You see, Hetty's story might be bad for the child” " I don't think so. Hetty's tragedy lies too far beyond the experiences of a ten- year-old girl to have any effect, ex- cept one of sympathy with her suf- fering. The cause of her suffering, the underlying horror of lg, is merci- fully sealed to children. Years later, this little girl will l;g-r?ld "Adan: " and find an entirely new se e lues. new lights and shadows, new inspiration.

And It is a pity for a woman to make such bad use of such a good thing as the moving pictures are, because, taken in reason, they are one of the most valuable assets of modern life, and do more than anything else to break the monotony of domestic life and take the curse off housework.

The truth shall make you free.— John, 8.32. 1t is a curious delusion that many men cherish, this idea that without their aid truth will perish. They forget that truth is not de- pendent on their puny assistance. She comes not as a helpless sup- pliant seeking for defense. She comes as a queen with glories to_bestow Those who have the grace to fe- ceive her she crowns with liberty. Those who refuse her are slaves— no matter how vociferously they proclaim their independence. One of the vices of this age is our facile confusing of propaganda with truth. ‘We ‘think we are dealing with truth when we declare the opinion of the majority or utter the voice of a nolsy and determined minority. Are numbers or vociferousness the evidence of truth? Or again we think we can impris- on truth in our particular castle and pose romantically as her defenders, Wag ever anything more ludicrous? Truth asks of men only to be recog- nized and received. She makes no petition to be in- closed in_ walls and defended. She walks at large where she will, invincible and serene.
