Strawberries. Only a very small amount of vine- gar is used, what the French would call “soupcon.” Hull the berries, put in a shallow dish and add one table spoonful of vinegar to a good pint of the fruit. By having the container shallow all the berries are touched | by the acid. Sugar the berries to taste and then let them stand a little while before serving. The result is marvel ous. They just taste like delicious juicy berries that give no hint of the liquid previously added. Acid Brings Out Flavor. This French way of serving straw. berries brings to mind the fact that just a trifle of acid is used sometimes by American housewives to bring out the flavor of delicate cooking. For in stance, a few drops of lemon juice added to sponge cake improve the taste of the cake. Also a few drops of this same acid fruit are often {added to a sweet fruit salad to make | it more tasty Bel s With Pepper. Another strange soupcon to add to strawberrles is pepper. This spice is uted to make the berries so much more digestible that persons who sprinkle their berries ve it these luscious berries, not only during entire Summe Fall. . but also far into the Strawberries, therefore, pepper are able to eat them when | otherwise they are cut from their menus. I give this hint for what it is worth. However, I do know of one in stance at least where it was tried with perfect success. The person had been deprived of the berries, which were a favorite fruit, until this way of serv- ing them was given her. Ever after she reveled in eating strawberries without any injurious effects. ittle Benny’ Note:Book | afternoon 1T wawked .I\al'k in | the kitchen jest for luck and our cook | Nora was ironing my wite pants, me thinking, G, gosh, if T could only dis. track her atte n she mite forget to move the iron and make a big skortch on them and then I wouldent haff to wear them eny more.

One of David's earliest memories was of how he and Peggoty sat up one night waiting for his mother to come home. He was reading to Peggoty from a book about crocodiles. Little David must have been a very funny reader, indeed, or else old Peggoty must have been extremely dumb, for when he was all through she thought that crocodiles were a sort of vege- table! Imagine! Poor David was becoming so sleepy he could scarcely keep his eyes open. But he would have died rather than £0 to bed before his mother returned. At Jast his mother came in, very love- ly from the cool night air. With her was a strange man. Make the trousers of this suit blue. The coat is of black Velvet, with a little black bow at his neck.

Tom and Roger wers having an amiable conversation on the clubhouse porch. Tom was a good, well meaning chap with no particular charm and very little imagination—he never under- stood the girls. Roger, on the other hand, tall, goodlooking, tharming, had plenty of sisters and many girl friends, so that he was fairly well acquainted with the weaknesses of the fair sex. They were discussing Alice. “Poor kid,” “Tom spoke commiseratingly, ‘she certainly has a bad set of nerves. Goes right off the handle if you speak loudly to her, or anything like that.” “Shucks,” said Roger, briefly and crisply. “That girl has a bad attack of conceit and nothing else. She wants to be the center of attention, and since she can’t manage it with looks and brains, she goes in for nerves on a large scale.” “But,” Tom objected, “look at her the other night. She simply screamed because she sald that orchestra was so dreadful she couldn’t bear it. 1 had to take her outside where she couldn’t hear the music. She was nearly crying. It had her crazy.” “All bunk,” was Roger's firm re- tort. ‘“‘She wasn't getting a rush and it had her worried. She decided she'd stage a grand play by being overcome at the dreadful music. She thought we'd all flock around and hold her hand. You were the only one who fell for it, you poor fish!"" “I don’t think you're fair to that poor kid,” Tom told his friend grave. ly. “I've seen her in the movies when she was so nervous that she kept twisting and untwisting her hands, and sort of gasping, because the pic- ture had her nervous. Honestly, she ought to look after herself better.” “That’s just what she wants you to think,” commented Roger. = “She hopes you'll realize what a frail, shaky little vine she is, and that she needs a great big strong man to cling to. She’d never take me in with that nerve stunt of hers. I'd tell her to snap out of it, and have a glass of nice cold water to brace her up.” “Well, I don’'t know,” said Tom, doubtfully. “I have the feeling that you're rather brutal, Roger.” “And I have the feeling that you're a grand old sap, who will always fall for just that sort of bunk these nerve victims are so fond of. Not for mine. I like a girl who's all there—a good sport and no silly nervousnesa.'” Of course Alice would have given her right arm to have heard that conversation—and of course Roger was the first person in the world she desired to impress with her girlish hysteria.

Lockyear, Lockyer, Lockman and Locke are all only different forms of the same family name, which in its Lock- also original use was but descriptive of the callings of its first bearers.

The “loc dle Ages in England was, as vou might opine, a locksmith, as was also the “Lockman,” the two forms of the word being interchangeable, with the former, perhaps, in wider use.

But even before such names lost their de- scriptive sense, and virtually always afterward, the “le” was dropped The family uame of Lockman, how- ever, is sometimes & contraction of that of Lockerman, which is not Eng- lish at all, but Dutch, the true form being “Loockerman.” And though th family name also is based upon an oc- cupation, it is not the same from which the English names have deve open.

A mother will no effort spare To &ive her babies loving care —O0ld Mother Nature Peter Rabbit sat in the Green Forest with his head tilted back, staring up at the broken home of Mrs. Timmy the Flying Squirrel, 'way up near tie top of a tall tree. He saw Mrs. Tin my climb that tree and disappear in the end of the stub of a broken limb. In a minute she came out. Peter stared harder than ever. “Mrs. Timmy looks funny,” said he, “Yes, sir, she certainly looks funny Why, I do believe she has one of those babies in her mouth. Yes, sir that's it.” Peter was right. - Mrs have a baby Squirrel. rying it in her teeth. could have seen clearl there the way in which she carrying that baby he would have been more surprised than he was. She wasn't carrying it as a cat carries a kitten or a dog carries a puppy. No, sir, she wasn't carryving it that wa at all. That little Squirrel seemed to be rolled up in a little ball and w clinging fast to mother's neck while she held him in her teeth tight ly by the loose skin. She was carry- ing him in such a way that he didn’t interfere with her movements. She could climb and she could run and she could jump with him, which she couldn't have done had she been carrying him as a cat carries a Kitten, Peter was watching for her to come down the tree with the baby and hoped she would give him a chance to see just what that little baby looked like. So perhaps you can guess how sur- prised Peter was when suddenly Mr Timmy jumped from way up where she was and went sailing out and down, down, down, across the Laugh- ing Brook, just as she had saled when she had jumped without a baby. Peter was so surprised that he stared after her with his mouth open. He saw her glide down, down, and then alight gently on the foot of a certain tree. At once she began to climb that tree, still carrying that baby, who had had its first experience in flying without wings. She didn’t run up that tree as fast as she had run up before, but still she went up at a pretty lively rate. From where he sat Peter could see that little baby Flying Squirrel, like a little fur ball, at his mother's throat. When Mrs. Timmy reached a cer- tain hole hiigh up in the tree she dis- inside.
