This is toy time. The children cannot get out much and they have to keep busy indoors, on the porches and in the att Th out the horses that rock, and the cats that squeak and all the iron wheeled things and rickety carts are pressed into service, to say nothing of the dolls and their outfits. Just now toys are right hand The other day there seemed to be a certain slump in the supply. Betsy felt that she ought to have addition to the doll fam There were some “cute, cunning darling baby do! that you « uld put right Into the bath tub and they'd swim around like anything.” Could she have one, p-p-please? And Michael thought his life would be the brighter for a little yellow cart, “with two wheels on it, mother, and it would hold a lot of things and wheel it up and do make much noise, to Dobbin, I 1 could wouldn't could hitch it p-p-lease.” o each, with a shining coin clutched fast, went down to the toy shop on the corner and watched, with shining eyes, the precious thing of their desire taken from its place in the littered show case and wrapped in its crackling paper cover. Then home with the speed of colts. “We got them, we got them. Now we're going to have some fun.” So the dolls were all brought out and set in properly appreciative attitudes and the tiny tub filled with water at just the right temperature so the new pink baby would not be chilled. Fisherman Caught. Een fishing is with danger fraught— The fsherman is sometimes canght. ZPlunger the Ospres. Seldom has Plunger the Fish Hawk known fear. Only when King Eagle has threatened to strike him to make Tim drop a fish has Plunger known fear. And then he has known that all that was necessary for s: v was to let go of the fish. But now Plunger did know fear. so big and heavy that he could not 1ift it from the water, and he had dis- covered that he could not let go of AT LAST THE WATER WAS SO SHALLOW THAT THE FISH CoTLD LONGER PULL PLUNGER BENEATH IT. it. You see, he ha@ sunk his claws into it so deeply that he could not with- draw them. Now that fish was strong. While Plunger was struggling to lift him from the water he was trying his best to drag Plunger under water. Plunger knew t! if he should be dragged under water and kept there he would soon drown. Plunger, the famous fisherman, was himself caught. He knew now some- thing of how the fish he had caught in the past must have felt. But he Tad no time to think about this. With all his strength he beat those great broad wings of his to keep himself above water. Mrs. Plunger had flown up the river to fish, and so she was not in sight. There was no one | to help him. My, how strong that fish was! In spite of all he could do Plunger was dr: it ow y for moment. More frantically than ever he beat those great wings, and reached the surface Plunger always had been very proud of those great, curved, sharp- 7 pointed claws of his. They are his fish hooks, you know. Now for the first time he wished they had not been quite g0 long and quite so curved. Had they been shorter and less curved he BEDTIME STORIES He had seized a fish | gzed under water. But | MARSHALL. stockings increasingly important. You may economize on almost any other de- tail, says a well dressed woman, but you can't follow the fashion and cut down your shoe bill. For evening, gold and silver are still in favor. At Southern resorts these are usually in kid, since kid is more com- fortable than metal brocade in warm weather, and does not become dimmed by contact with seaside mists. Much has been said about the revived fashion for wearing slippers to match the gown, but so far it is only the woman who rides in the vanguard of fashion who follows this mode. In that case the stockings match the slippers also. Colored velvet slippers are seen occasionally to match the gown. Among some of the younger women at Southern resorts recently the fad has started for wearing black satin or black velvet slippers with nude stock- ings to go with light-colored frocks. So you see there is a wide choice for evening. Brown and beige are regarded as the smart shade for all daytime shoes this Spring. You may wear brown satin or blonde satin with your afternoon frock. As warmer weather comes, white doe- skin shoes are chosen, usually trimmed with brown or some other color to tone with the frock with which they are worn. Opera pumps hold favor, especially for doeskins. French women are favor- ing the so-called Cleopatra slipper for evening. This is cut high at the back but usually low at the sides. There is an ankle strap with a wide, usually ornamental strap from the center of the vamp to the front of the ankle strap. A rather rounded last has at last established itself, and this is comfort- able to most feet. Heels are not ex- treme, save for the so-called spike heels—which have been worn some time in France. These are, however, favored only by women who have less regard for comfort than the average young American woman. (Copyright.) Glazing for Tarts. Pour one quart of hot water into a saucepan with three pounds of gran- ulated sugar and one-half a pound of glucose. Stir over the fire until it starts boiling. Wash down the sides and let boil for about five minutes, no longer. Remove the scum and add one ounce of clear gum arable. Stir until the gum dissolves. When cool pour the sirup into a jar for future use. You can make a good glaze by taking a small amount of this sirup and adding it to a good jelly, then brush this over the tarts while hot. This recipe makes one and one-half quarts of sirup. ow, Evalina Araminta you going to have a nice bath,” an ecstatic smile the tenderly slid the darling of her heart into her tub. And she’ sank like a stone, swiftly, surely, as one done with this life. ¥Oh, oh! That's not the way. must float, baby. Try again!" the flustered little mother. And again it was down to the bottom with celerity and decision. The doll had a score of holes where she should have been airtight. “Well, you'd better dry her care- fully and wrap her up so she won't catch cold and we'll take Evalina Araminta back to the man and see if can get one that will swim. Evalina doesn’t know how yet.”” But all the joy had vanished and it was a very grave little face that bent over ‘the rewrapping of Evalina Araminta. And just then Michael howled with wrath, “Look at that, will you? And I just hitched it to Dobbin and gave it one little pull over the floor and the wheels are off. Some wagon It's a skin” So the wagon was wrapped. “But madam,” said the polite store- keeper. “Those were cheap toys and you cannot expect them to last. Of course this time I'll give you others but we do not guarantee them. Better take more expensive ones.” Perhaps. But wasn't there a time when toymaking was a matter of pride’ and honor? Even a little pink doll that promised to swim could be trusted to swim her brief span. And wheels did stay on. Or is this the iiluston of memory? are and with little mother You said BY THORNTON W.

As he strug- | gled he looked this way and that with | those keen eyes of his. He saw that | he was nearer one shore than the iolher. If he could get that fish to shore, or, at least, into shallow water where he could not be dragged below the surface, he might be able to get his claws free. So Plunger headed toward the near- est shore, and little by little he drag- ged the big fish through the water in direction. His great wings were growing tired. Every now and then the fish succeeded In pulling him un- der water. But each time as he re- gained the surface he saw that the hore was a little nearer. Would his trength hold out? He was beginning to_doubt it It was then that he saw a long sand bar running out into the Big River. The water was only a few inches deep over this. The sight gave him new strength. Already the water was growing less and less deep beneath him The fish knew this too and struggled harder than ever. At last, the water was so shallow that the fish could no longer pull Plunger be- neath it. Hope grew in the heart of Cold Logio. In a folder distributed to the clients of a perfectly ethical corpora- tion specializing In hygiene some in- teresting inferences are drawn from a study of alleged “colds” among the employes of a great business estab- lishment. The study showed “a very evident relationship between extreme changes in the weather and the prev- alence of colds.” Let us see what the very evident relationship is. “For example, a drop in the mean weekly temperature of 10 degrees car- ried with it an {ncrease of 18 common colds per week in the group studied. Other climatic conditions seem to have no particular influence on the incidence of common colds.” The group studied comprised about 6,700 employes, the folder indlcates. And any fool knows how very evi- dent a drop of 10 degrees is. The evi- dence completely vindicates Sairey Gamp and Ben Told, doesn’t it? Yes, indeed, and lest you fail to appreciate the full significance of it, the folder goes on to say: “This accords with the common ob- servation, and should be taken as a warning to meet sudden changes in temperature with discretion and to take reasonable precautions against chilling and exposure.” A good plot for a profane Pilgrim's Progress might be made capitalizing common observation, warning, sudden changes, reasonable precautions and exposure in the foregoing gem. But walt! You haven't heard the half of it yet. The “cold” logic is here: “There is little doubt but that cer- tain manifestations of the common cold, such as congestion in the head and running at the nose, are purely physical reactions due to chilling of the body.” So, you see, it would be a mistake to imagine that such manifestations of the common cold are spiritual or mental reactions. “s * * purely physical reactions due to chilling of the body. Whether or not such a condition passes over into an infective cold depends on the condition of the individual, and prob- ably largely on the type of bacterla that are already present in the nasal cayvities and throat.” Houdini ought to investigate this magic.

Mr. Told does the trick every day and thinks nothing about it. Only Sairey calls it “turnin’ to bronicle trouble or numony,” and Benjamin calls it “taking more cold.” This ingenious theory is bullt on conjecture, for there is no scientific evidence that germs lurk in the nose or throat to attack when such a “purely physical reaction” occurs. To be sure, bacteria are almost always present in the healthy person’s nasal passages and the throat—sometimes virulent disease germs, virulent to guinea pigs or other animals, but we have no ground for the suggestion that such germs are virulent to the individual who carries them. On the contrary, there is more reason to as- sume that such germs tend to im- munize the carrier. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. OFTEN PINCHED BY HUNGER- .

In the same degree that today's conditions are unsettled and depress- indicate an underlying atmosphere of encouragement and _optimism. The temptation will be not to do too little, but to do too much, and to take chances which, under ordinary cir- cumstances, would never be attempted. It is safe to endeavor to accomplish any task that savors of constructive and deliberate effort, along customary lines. It is fmpolitic, and might prove detrimental, to venture into or explore unknown territory. “The shoemaker to his last,” is an adage that, if practic- ally adhered to, will tomorrow give safe results. 1f you are privileged to bring a human life into being tomorrow, you will be keenly interested in knowing that the signs indicate that much care, and especially good nutrition, will be needed to steer this child safely through the vicissitudes of in- fancy. Once, however, this period is successfully passed, it will develop physically in & very satisfactory man- ner. In disposition, it will show a tendency toward churlishness. This can be corrected by the proper en- vironment and aseociation. Its char- acter will be erratic, and violent out- bursts of temper on its part will fre- quently occur. In the face of great trouble or disappointment, it will maintain calm and poise. Trifles will, however, often cause it to lose its head. Those whose birthday is tomorrow are, unless the signs are misinter- preted, generally of very exactingand jealous temperaments, and if they de- mand much, they are ever ready to vield just as much and more than they expect to receive. Their jealousy does not only embitter their affections, but it permeates nearly every relationship of life. They are jealous, not only of those they love, but of others success, position, possessions and attainments, G| |2nd rarely extend congratulations, without experiencing a momentary 3 pang of envy. This is a most un- fortunate disposition, and can only be cured by strength of purpose. They are demonstrative and ex- tremely affectionate, and enjoy to its fullest extent the senge of possession. They will do anything, or make any sacrifice, for those they love or for those in trouble.
