You see, over there at the dezr Old Briar-patch were half a dozen new bables. Mrs. Peter fussed over them a great deal. Peter thought she fussed over them too much.

Tt may be interesting to mote in | passing just what is meant by flat | silverware and how that term is used. |1t is a name given the smaller pieces | that lie flat on the table, such as | knives, forks and spoons of every | kind and description.

In the first place, flatware should be true to its name and lie so flat that it is not wabbly, Handles that curve up from the shoulde of a spoon or the hilt of a fork for their entire length, turning | downward at the ends only, may have | graceful curves, but the articles will | not lie firm and stable.

The articles should have no tendency to turn and twist when held in the hand. These ts make them difficult to manage gracefully, The grip must be tight- ened. The reason why some flatware is not well balanced is because balance is sacrificed to usage.

Peter blinked. “Who's stepping on your bables?” fald he, cross!

Some mothers are careless. { Where are your bables, anyhow?” Cluck, cluck!” sald Mrs. Grouse. Instantly 10 of the prettiest little babies in all the Green Forest, little brown fluffy bables, sprang up as if the very leaves had come to life. They came scampering to their mother. Peter counted them. There were 10. But Peter was_still disgruntled. He had been startled and he didn't like it. “Why don't you keep your chil- dren with you, where they won't be epped on’ ald he. “It is a pity hen honest people cannot go out | walking without danger of their step- ping on their neighbors’ children { What were they hiding for, anyway? | “They were hiding because I told them to hide,” replied Mrs. Grous “I heard you coming, but I didn’t know who it was.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are quite good, and indicate success and ultimate achievement. Enthusiasm and tenacity of purpose will be the prevailing influences and there will also be felt the spirit of optimism— not, however, in sufficient degree to warp judgment or to attempt the im- possible. 'The signs indicate that financial enterprise will derive spe- cial henefit from the influences at work, although no success is indi- cated for speculation.

The girl who has had a gay time Is far more apt to stay settled when she does settle down than the girl 1s who has never had any fun'and who is hungry for parties and amusement.

The girl who has | always had to economize to the last penny blows in her husband’s salary on foolishness.
