It ecan be made with either blanc mange or gelatin. These gay little eggs rest in a nest of whipped eream, which should make a duck, bunny or chicken quite jealo: to behold The gelatin or cornstarch is made to appear In the shape of an egg by using as a mold an egg cup. Vege- table coloring of differing shades may tint each egg or there may be but two shades emploved. Make the consistency of the “egg” more firm than you usually do in an ordinary dessert mixture, to insure its coming out neatly and holding its shape. Although ft is not essentfal that the Easter token be one of lasting usefulness, it is assuredly not a fault if such is the case. It is a pleasant surprise upon Laster morning to find a pretty little yelow duck sitting on your breakfast egg. The duck will not quack if you disturb it, as it is made of feit, and it is its happy fate every morning to be prepared to keep hot the breakfast egg when it has left the boiling water. These little individual egg cozies are easy to make. Almost any book of birds will offer a picture of a duck for you to copy. Two pieces of yellow felt, silk or nen are cut out in duck shape and lined with wadding, held in by a plece of =ilk. The *“duck” s se- curely fastened at the top by stitch- ing which also extends down the sides. The lower part is left open to fit over the egg. Buttons can be sewed on the head for eyes. Crocheted filet lace makes tive motifs to be inserted in cozy cover, and can be laundered. Candy Corsages. Candy corsages surrounded with 2¥ills of lace paper can be made at home, and are pretty and suitable remembrances for Easter. The mate- rials required are a few gum drops of different bright cloors, some ret or maline, little fine wire, lace paper al tin-foil or tissue paper to wrap about the stems. The flowers are made by sticking gum drops on the end of short lengths of wire. When enough are made they are arranged prettily in position, and held thus by maline. The stems are bound with foil or green paper. Circular lace paper doilies can be bought for a small sum and cut down to any desired size to encircle the “bouquet.” A few artificial leaves can he added If one chooses to do so Handkerchiefs. Handkerchiefs, as Easter gifts, are alway welcome. To be appropriate to the occasion they should have a flower motif in lace or embroidery in the corner. A design of posies executed in cross-stifch suggests ft- self as being especially interesting and pleasing. attrac- a linen readily BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “You don't say!” retorted Jumper. “Yes,” replied Peter. “He does it with his wings, and his sides are his drum. He beats them with his wings and that is the way he makes all that noise we hear.” My, my, what tough sides he must have!” exclaimed Jumper. “He have the toughest sides of any one I know of. It makes me ache just to think of such a beating. What do you suppose his sides are made o For the first time Peter suspected that perhaps his big cousin was making fun of him. But Jumper's face was quite sober as he continued. “Yes, sir; it would take tough sides to stand such a beating as that and so many times a d How did you discover it, Peter?” “By watching,” replied Peter. I was where 1 could see just what Thunderer did. He lifted his wings up and then brought them down against his sides and each time he did it there was a boom. So I knew then that Thunderer drums by beat- ing his sides with his stout wings “And you didn’t once wonder how his sides could stand such a thump- ing? asked Jumper. “No,” confessed Peter. “No, I didn’t think of But, now you men- tion it, it is surprising how his sides can stand it “You mean it would be surprising if it were true,” retorted Jumper. “But it is true, for I saw it with own eyes,” insisted Peter. No,” replied Jumper. “No, Peter. You only think you saw it. You didn’t see what you think you saw, for it didn’t happen. Thunderer the Grouse doesn’t beat his sldes with his wings any more than he beats a hollow log with them. His sides are not his drum. At least they are not in the way vou think they are. Go ask him if what I say isn't true.” Poor Peter. It was quite upsetting. He had been so sure that at last he had found olt for himself just how Thunderer the Grouse drummed and now he was told that hb was no wiser than before. He tried very hard not to believe that Jumper was right, but something inside told him that Jumper was right. Yes, sir; It was most upsetting. (Copyright, 19: m; . br T. W.

Those who have a well planned, mixed diet may usually count on the assurance that they have obtained plenty of mineral salts. Milk fur- nishes a generous proportion of the needed lime, egg yolks and vegeta- bles contribute f{ron, while fruits make up whatever the other foods have not provided. The young baby changes about 40 per cent of the body-building mate- rial in his milk into framework for his body. This will show how im- portant it is for an infant to have a carefully planned ration, since he must not only make up the wear and tear of all his muscular activities during the day, but must also begin the long processes of building the body that”is to last him during his entire Tite The individual who sits at a desk must take regular exercises if he is to keep well If he walks an hour in the morning and an hour at the end of the day he must take this expenditure of extra energy into con- ideration when he plans his diet. For example, sitting at a desk, 2 man will require about 2,150 calories of energy. The daily two-hour walks demand 320 extra calories of energy. If you desire to provide the energ: needed in your family dietary as cheaply as possible, it may be se- cured from milk, cheese, rice and oat- meal. Adding a normal ration of bread and potatoes will increase the cost slightly. This does not mean that it is desirable to get all the en- ergy from the cereal products, but it merely shows the foods that furnish this important element at the least possible cost. The addition of meat to the dietary will greatly increase the total heat production of the body. This is one reason why roast beef and broiled chops make a good addition to the Winter dietary. One of our greatest sclentists as- sures us that when the family in- come allows food in sufficlent quan- tities to satisfy normal appetits the family need not fear undernourish- ment. On the other hand, a word of caution is in order. Undernourish- ment In the technical sense may, and often does, exist, in families that spend generous sums for food. If that food be not properly selected and adapted to the family “fieeds, then it will not be properly digested. Un- dernourishment in the strictly literal sense will result just as certainly as if there had been too little food. (Copyright, 1925.) .

Write Any Love Letters Refuses Some Advice YOUNG girl wants me to tell her how to write a love letter. Not on your life, sweet child. I would as soon give you a reliable recipe for concocting home brew witih a 40-power white mule kick to it as I would a formula for writing love letters. One wouldn't be a whit more dangerous and demoralizing to you than the other. The only rule for writing love letters that T can give to any girl who is chewing up her penholder while she tries to think of how to put her surging emotions on paper and wonders if there are two “f's” or one in “affection” is don’t do it. Whisper your love. Shout it aloud. Telephone it. But never, never, never write it. Don’t put it down in black and white. If the urge to write is too strong for you, then let me implore you to seal your burning, sizzling billet doux up in'a good stout envelope and park it in the ice box until the next day. Then read it over, and you will mall it in the fire or the waste-paper basket. You wlill never send it, and you will feel like going down on your knees and thanking God that you were saved one more time from making a fool of yourself. 1t 19 silly enough and indiscreet enough for a girl to write sloppy love letters to the man to whom she is betrothed and whom she expects to marr. For it is the part of wjsdom to Keep a man guessing, instead of having it 80 on record that you dre ever and onalterably his, and that you pine away in his absence and would surely commit suicide if anything untoward happened to him or he should cease to love his own itty darling Tootsy W ootsy. « e e e TNFORTUNATELY, however, girls do not confine their love missives to their betrothed. They put the climax on their folly by sending these incriminating documents, wherein they recall sentimental episodes, and ~xhaust the whole vocabulary of endearments, and swear their deathless decvotion to men who are comparative strangers, men who have never asked them to marry them and whom they wouldn't marry on a bet. These girly fail to realize how scrious, how sinister the written word can become. A girl may tell a boy she loves him and that she will break her heart if he goes away, and both he and she know it's just part of the “kidding” of an idle flirtation. She may even Kiss a youth innocently cnough, but when she writes him that she is dying of love for him and that she is hungry for his kisses it becomes another thing and the gossips roll it under their tongues. Many a girl has been sneareq at and pitied for having given her love in vain or having been jilted; many =a girl's character has been torn into tatters by the scandalmongers, just because of a silly letter she wrote some man with whom she was corresponding. She put in all of the highfalutin nonsense about love and dying and kisses just because she thought it sounded like a movie scenario, and because it gave the letter pep, and she never dreamed how it would look to a cynical and censorious world. For these are the kinds of letters that father buys back when they happen to be wriften to a handsome and fascinating stranger with no principles and an itching palm. And they cost papa a pretty penny and the irl the scare of her life, for well she knows she would never be able to hold up her head again among her friends if these hectic letters, not one word of which did she really mean, were made public, to be laughed at and ridiculed by decent people, and to be made the most and the worst of by the evil-minded. (OF course, girls justity their idiocy in writting love letters by trying to delude themselves into believing that the men regard their letters as sacred and tie them up with blus ribbons and wear them next their hearts Fudge! Fvery girl with brothers knows better. Not every man is a blackmailer. Not a great many men are cads enongh to show their love letters to prove what devils of fellows they are among the girls, but practically all men are careless. Men don’t wear their love letters next to their hearts, but in old coat pockets and in the top drawer of their chifforders, and in the huddle of pap on their desks, and the only reason their female relatives and their friends and chambermaids and the janitor don’'t read them is because they don’t want to. Hence, every girl who writes to a man does well to consider how the sentiments she expresses will appear to the cold and unsympathetic eyes of outsiders. That thought alone should bring the temperature of many a feverish epistle down to subnormal Why have girls this fatal mania for writing love letters? There are several explanations to be offered. One is that every woman is a sentimentalist, and when she starts to write a love letter she just can’t help slopping over, and so she says things sihe neither means nor feels just because they sound so grand and poetic. Another reason is that every woman yearns to dramatize herself, to be the heroine of a love idyl, and the love letter offers her the center of the stage, with the spotlight on her for the time being at least, so she goes to it. - The third reason is that ink affects women like champagne. They get maudlin drunk on it, and so whenever they put pen to paper they go on a debauch in which they are not responsible for what they do or say. The moral of all of which is: Be circumspect in what you write to boys, girls. So shall you save yourselves trouble and humiliation. Sa ay what You please, but don't put it on paper.
