It was so cold med to him that Jack Frost was settling down to stay a long time. It dldn’t seem possible that Spring could be anywhere near. So Farmer Brown's Boy was feeling a little downhearted as he walked from the house to the barn. Halfway to the barn he stopped abruptly, threw up his head and lis- tened.

For a long min- ute he stood. Then he suddenly shouted “Hurrah!” and raced back to the house. “Winsome Bluebird has arrived,” he shouted. ‘“Winsome Bluebird has ar- rived and now we know that Mistress Spring is almost here.” “Nonsense,” said Mrs. Brown. “It 18 too cold this morning for any Blue- birds to arrive. Any Bluebird that was up this way would promptly turn about and go back."” “But I heard him,” cried Farmer Brown's Be “Don’t you suppose I | know a Bluebird's notes when I hear them? No one who has ever heard Winsome Riuebird n ever mistake another bird for him. Come to the door and listen.” So Mrs. Brown went to the door and stepped out on the doorstep. There she and Farmer Brown's Roy stood and listened. In a moment they heard those soft, plaintive notes that seemed to come from nowhere in particular and everywhere in general, the notes of Winsome Bluehird. ““There!" cried Farmer Brown's Bo; “There! What did I tell you? Win- some Bluebird is here!” “He certainly is. Son,” replied Mrs. Brown. “My, isn't it good to hear him? I wish I could see him. Rut it's too cold to stand out here, Winsome Bluebird may think it is Spring, but I don't.” With this, Mrs. Brown went in_the house. But_Farmer Brown's Boy didn't go in. , sir, he didn't go in. He wasn't satisfied with just hearing Winsome Bluebird: he wanted to see Winsome. So, after listening for a few moments to those soft, plaintive, whistled notes, he made up his mind that Winsome Bluebird was on the other side of the house. So around the house he went. He looked up in all the trees. He looked over on all the fence posts, for he knew that Win- some often sits on a fence post. He looked everywhere that he could think of that Winsome Bluebird would be likely to be. Winsome wasn't to be seen. Still he heard that soft whistle. It was most provoking and, at the same time, it was most exciting. You see, that whistle just couldn't he placed. It seemed to be just all around. Sometimes It seemed to be far away and sometimes it seemed to be close at hand. Farmer RBrown's Boy went com- pletely around the house. He went all through the old Orchard: He even went down the Long Lane that leads to the Green Meadows, nOwW Snow-cov- ered. He didn't see Winsome Blue- bird. He was still excited, but he was also disappointed as he at last returned to the house. Mocker the Mocking Bird flew from the food shelf Farmer Brown's Boy kept spread for him. He flew up in a nearby tree and, as Farmer Brown's Boy looked up at him, Mocker whistled that beau- tiful Spring message of Winsome Bluebird.

Svidently she has not enough boy triends to keep her interested, for she often finds the evenings dull, and in her search for novelty has formed the thabit of calling up men, withholding her name and tallkling to them for a few minutes. This is an altogether ridiculous in- door sport, but it seems harmless. ul One night, however, her girl triend, Jerry, gets the wrong number, hears a pléasant masculine voice at the other end of the wire, holds con- jverse with him and promises to call again. From that time forth, our heroiné, Claire, and her chum, Jerry, spest most of their evenings calling their unknown friend on the wire. He lives with several other men, And the whole crowd urge the girls to come mp to the apartment for a party The girls refuse, but Claire is aw tully tempted. One of the men sounds #0 nice. Finally, one day, when she rings him up, “‘just for fun," he per- suades her to go out on a date with him. "’ He proves to be a very nice boy, lots of fun and a darn good sort. She likes him awfully but refuses to at- tend a par his place, although he assures her there will be plenty of other girls present. He has promised never to call her on the phone, but if she wants to see him again she is to call him. Now, she wants to know whether she may go to his place or not? He seems S0 nice—just the sort of man she likes—and she hates to see him go_forever. She wants some good advice, she tells me. What she really wants is a friendly pat on the shoulder and the assurance that she will be doing per- fectly right to call up this man, and g0 to see him as often as she likes.

Their particular calling abounds in material that js, almost of necessity, couched in technical and scientific terms, So the average citl- zen, Intent on cutting through this mass of wards to find the plain and unadorned facts, sometimes has a difficult time of it. Reducing the dietary to its lowest terms is easfer than our childhood bughear—that of reducing common fractions to their lowest terms—but in order to accomplish ft we must prae- tice a hit. Strictly speaking, the lowest terma of diet are five in number. milk, veg- etables, breadstuffs, fruits and meats. Nothing dificult about that, surely. “But," says some one, “what about sugar and butter?" Exactly! We are not speaking, re- member, of all the food products res quired to make attractive meals; we are talking about the lowest terms of the dietary. If you will stop a bit. a8 our English friends would put it, or wait a minute, to use our own Ameri- can vernacular, and examine these lowest terrgs, you will see that sugar and butter are present in these five foods. Not the cane sugar in the form of parking cubes, as it appears on our tables, it is true, but fruit sugars of many and healthful varieties. Fur. thermore, butter, or the “makings" of butter, are represented by the milk with its cream and butter fat. ° Try this experiment: .Take each of these five lowest dietary terms and study it. Study it, not with your mind on calories, vitamins or any other technical terms, but as meat. or milk, or fruit, or vegetables, or bread, as the case may he. What 15 the most practical method for this study? One way is to examine a favorite recipe. Break it up, so to speak, into its component parts. e are apt. for example, to think of cornstarch pud- ding as pudding. It is really a tooth- some dish, containing cornstarch, it is trtie, but offering, besides, milk and eggs and sugar, 1o say nothing of pos. sible fruit juices added for flaver and for the purpose of further increasing its food value For the moment sweep the cohwebs of confused information from your mind and in thelr place put the sim- ple, understandahle and familiar foods that every housekeeper knows as she does the names of the children them selves, Later you can return to vour stndies about calories and vitamins, protein, carhohydrate and fat, and. equipped with a clear understanding of what every-day foods are required you can fit these foods into the more complicated picture of scientific dis- cussion. Boiled down to appropriate terms, the suggestions are these: 1. The five foodstuffs entering into an adequate diet are milk, meat, fruit, vegetables and bread 2. Other foods, added by an in- creasing knowledge of what consti. tutes an attractive diet, such as sugar and butter, are contained in some form in these five. 3. It is desirable to examine each commonly-used recipe in order to as. certain just which of these funda- mental foods it contributea to the diet. 4. When these facts are firmly fixed in mind, it is time to begin to think of how much of each of the five is required and what it does in the body 0 don't lose the henefit of a real understanding of digtary laws by al lowing confusion ahdut “queer words to distract you. The five words—milk, bread. meat, vegetables and fruits— are famillar to all. Just remember that we need some of these every dax. and learn to examine the menus to see if each of the five is represented.

A P. writes: “1 am feeding a baby of 7 months, mashed potatoes, orange juice and a little cereal. She has been fed cow's milk since shd was 3 months old. She sleeps until about 11 o'clock, after being put to bed at 8, and then wakes up and is ready to get up. She wakes again at 3 for a bottle and again at 6:30. Can you tell me how to get her to sieep the night through? Answer. A well, healthy, properly nourished child has no difficulty in going from at least 5 months of age without food, from 6 to 6. \When a child must be fed so often at night, it only means that his daytime diet is deficient. The leaflet on feeding from 7 months to 3 years is exactly what you need now to show vou how to improve the child's diet. Please send me a self-ad- Iressed and statmped envelope and ask for it. If-you wili ask for the leaflet No. 7 at the same time it will answer your other: question. Chronic Nose-Bleeding. Mrs. H. 8.—You should have the child examined very carefully to see that he is not a “bleeder” before you have any operations done on his adenoids and tonsils. The nose-bleed might be caused by a small ruptured blood vessel which does not heal prop- erly and any slight blow or pressure starts it bleeding afresh, but the con- dition is hardly & normat one and de- mands some good medical attention. Try another doctor. Mrs. E. C.—It would be most ad- visable to have the baby's eves treated by an eye doctor. They evidently need some stronger treatment than boric acid water.

She was still voung, and John was only 45. Thare were sti years of life hefore them. And yet for the past three or four years there had been little of a persopal nature between them. Why were thev drift. ing apart? Why had John pushed her out of his life as he had”? Was it because they had married at such an early age that all romance between them was at an end? It seemed ab. surd, because in spite of the fact that the children were grown up. Martha felt as frivolously vouthful as she had five years ago. As a matter of fact, she was starv- ing for love and affection.
