Nuts may be chopped fine or coarse and worked into the fondant. Ralsins, either alone or combined with the nuts, may be used. A mixture of nuts, ralsins, can. died cherrles, citron, dates, candled srapefruit or orange peel, etc., may all be put through the food chopper (using the fine blade) and then worked into the fondant, making a creamy nougat filling.

Straight up the Laughing Brook. faster than thev ever had traveled be. fore, Paddy led the way. Never had they known him to hur ike this be- fore. At last they began to suspect that something serious must have happened after all. And at last they were in the swamp they knew. They. had left a big pond. They found little more than a puddle. It was fo surprising that they rubbed thelr eves. But Paddy dian't stop to rub his eves. He swam straight to a great hole in the middle of the dam. One glange'was enough for him. ‘“Buster Bear!” he snapped. “I guessed as uch.” He climbed out on the dam and carefully looked over the hole and the condition of the dam on both sides snd above and below. Then he turned to the two young Beavers. ‘‘You youngsters get busy at once cutting and bringing stic tops of voung trees fast as you can, he commanded. ou,” he con tinued to Mrs. Paddy, “dig mud and gods if you can find them.

I suspect that ‘t;ood-for-nothing Yowler the Bob Cat will be sneaking about here soon if he isn't hid close at hand already. Keep a sharp watch, youngsters, and keep close to deep water while you are cutting.” 2 *ad ¢ | ‘I addy’s guess that Yowler the Boh Cat might he somewhere near was a | good one. Yowler was right where he could sea all that went on. There was no place for him to hide within jump. ing distance of those busy workers, but he hoped that as the work went on without disturbance one of them might become careless and get far enough away from the water for him to have at least a chance for a Beaver dinner. But Paddy seemed to have eyes everywhere at once. The instant one of the others began to stray the least bit away from the water Paddy’s flat tail would thump a reminder and warning. And how those Beavers did work! They didn't waste a minute. Before it seemed possible the amoun of water flowing out through that hole in the middle 6f the dam began to &row less. It grew less and less faster than it takes to tell it. You see, Paddy was working with might and main, and he seemed to know just where to put each stick and each brushy top and the sods and mud Mrs. Paddy brought. Even as Yowler looked at |1t the puddle above the dam began | to_grow bigger. It grew slowly at , but soon it grew rapidly. That was being filled up. When the young Beavers saw this one of them suggested that they go over to the other hole Buster Bear had torn in the dam. But Paddy wouldn't allow this. You see, there was no wa- ter running through this hole, for the pond was now too small for there to be any water behind the dam there. To have fixed that hole the Beavers would have had to work out of water altogether. It was this very thing that Yowler had heen hoping and hoping they would do. But Paddy put his foot down against this. Perhaps it would bhe more correct to say he put his tail jdown. Anyway, he slapped the ground with it whenever one of those young Beavers started toward that other hole, and that was all there was to that. It wasn't until the pond had grown big enough for the water to reach and begin to run through that other hole that Paddy gave it any at- tention. Then he swam over to it and began work on that.

And the reason a girl takes very little trouble to control her temper is that she secretly is a mite proud of it—she feels that it earns for her the reputation of being rather spirited and dashing She hears people nam girl Is a_terror v 7 What & little spitfire. She certainly carries things off with a high hand,” and she bridles with pleasure. It never occurs to the poor, deluded maiden that lots of other people are discussing her temper, not with a won dering admiration, but with good-na- tured contempt. She wouldn'y be half so pleased if she heard Bob Elliott, for instance, holding forth as follows: “Gosh, but Marion looks & perfect fool when she gets mad. I'm ashamed to be seen the same table with her when she has one of her outbursts, It makes her face look so funny. Marion wouldnz deliberately make herself ridiculous for anything in the world--she’s ever so careful about that sort of thing.

Triumphantly she glared at her vic- tim, exclaiming: “If you ever dare to talk to me that way again, 1 shall make vou look even more ridiculous than vou do now.’ Whereupon her hostess, who T watched the proceedings with greatest horror and disgust, rem: icily, “A gentleman always looks ri lous out of place in the company a shrew.” Which didn't Marion at all. She feit that her lam. entable display of temper had rather put her in command of the situation.

A Weak Digestive System. The lunch hour means nothing to this chap, except that it gives him a chance to-escape from the office for a short period. You see him pick up a menu and scan it with a bored expres sion on his face. When he does order he doesn’t seem to care whather the waiter brings it or not. He 1s always complaining of his health, yet he keeps on working. This type has hollow cheeks, a dry and creased skin. Generally the deep est depression is formed slightly above the corners of the mouth, about three- fourths of an inch outward from the edge of the upper lip. These are all algns of a weak digestive system. It causes indecision, laziness and lack of force in character. A slender lower jaw and a small chin, accompanied by hollow cheeks, are not found on a strong character He should avold, vecations where he would come into too active contact with the public, for he cannot function to advantage.

But \s a matter of fact, there are only thrée primary colors-—red, yellow and blue So all other colors can be made by combining two or more of these primary colors, and the shades and tints are obtalned by mixing with black or white. All of the thousands of celor tones thus obtained conve their impression to the color nerves of the eve by means of vibration, each tone having its own wave length. These colors have more influence on our lives than we can realize because, chemically, they can affect our health, and emotionally, our spirits and ac tion! . Consequently, certain _ numbers vibrate {n harmony with certain colors, so that it is most important that each individual surround himself with- colors - which vibrate -harmoni- ously with his birth aumber.
