CHH DREN have a distaste for too obvious moralizing. A lesson is generally most effective when insinuated rather than pounded into them. In the case of the following rhyme, for instance, the situation is perfectly obvious and we don’t have to say anything to Sonny about his loitering on the way to school. Keep the conversation on the subject of the whale. Too bad he was so disobedient How worried his mother must have been and what a lot of trouble she was put to in caring for him. The child will make his own deductions without the resent- ment which so often results when in Sonny’s language “grown-ups keep rubbing BEAUTY CHATS Thick Eyelashs.

Of course you know just what he did. He did the thing he had so often done before. He started out right after breakfast to put out food for his little friends. It was easy enough to supply “THEY ARE BUDDIN CLAIMED FARMER BROWN UNDER HIS BREATH E: S BOY nflower seeds, suet, “rom the barn floor, for Sammy Jay, Tommy Tit the Chickadee, Dotty the Tree Sparrow. and other little feath- ered folk who came about the house.

He was still thinking of them as he tramped along | the edge of the Old Orchard. Sud:| denly he stopped. He stopped and stood perfectly still. Over in one of the oldest trees in the Old Orchard, well out where the smaller twigs grew, | { were two big birds. He could hear the | | tirkle of tiny bits of ice falling. He ! | knew those big birds instantly, of course. They were Mr. Grouse and | Mrs. Grouse.? | "They are budding!” exclaimed Farm- | Brown’s Boy under his breath. “They are eating the buds on the | apple tree. 2 it does me good to see them. There may not be as many | apples on that tree next year, but T don’t care. I'm glad they had sense enough to come over here. Yes, sir, I'm glad they had sense enough to re- ! { member these apple trees and come over here. It must be pretty hard | picking for them now with all that ice on the buds; but if the sun comes out— | and 1 guess it's going to—the ice will melt from these trees over here in the | Old Orchard sooner than it will from the trees over there in the Green Forest.” Both Mr. and Mrs. Grouse saw Farm er Brown’s Boy. Do flew away? Not a bit of it. They juwl went right on chipping the ice off those buds and then picking off the buds and eating them. They knew that not for the world would Farmer Brown’s Boy harm them. So they calmly continued with their breakfast. What they didn’t know was that they were doing any harm. They didn't know that that apple tree would have | fewer apples because of the budding they were doing. No, sir, they didn't know anything about that. To them a tree was a tree, no matter where it grew. So Mr. and Mrs. Grouse went on eating buds as' fast as they could. Farmer Brown's Boy continued on to the big red barn. Do you know what he was going for? He was going for buckwheat. He understood the need of Mr. and Mrs. Grouse and he was | going for buckwheat. i { | 1 1 A fiber rope that is unsinkable has been produced in Holland.

Stirring and tasting, adding now a bit more of this ingredient, now of that? “The supreme art,” writes one authority on foods, “lies in blending flavor with flavor.” And it is in that one food, in which, perhaps, taste counts most of all, that this art has found its highest expression. With hundreds of kinds and grades of coffees brought from distant countries, the critical men and women of America have agreed on none of them. Such fame as never before came to any coffee has today been won—not by a single flavor, but by many skillfully mingled, by a blend of coffees from the old South. Years ago it was approved by the great families of Dixie—that touch of extra rich- ness in the blend which Joel Cheek created down in old Tennessce. “Good to the Today from New York to Los Angeles, his blend with that mellow shade of dif- ference, is pleasing more people than any other coffee ever offered for sale.
