When that light arrived such a sight as greeted their eves! That barrel of molasses was right near the foot of the stairs. The puddle of molasses had spread out until it was all around the lower step. That is how it happened that Farmer Brown'’s Boy had stepped into it the very first thing. “Great land of love!” exclaimed Mother Brown as she stared down at the sticky mess. “I told you it was that Bear! And that crash we heard was my preserves. I just know it without looking.” By this time Farmer Brown's Boy had found a board which would reach ! entertain them i {ER etiquette and business proceduirs are recognized as important to fallow.

There on the floor lay broken preserve jars, with'sirup spatted all about and some.of the fruit. But there was no Cubby there. The sight of that preserve closet was more than Mother Brown's good nature could stand. Her eyes flashed. “I've stood all I'm_going to” sh declared grimly to Farmer Brown Boy. “When you catch that Cub again you march him right back to the Green Forest and let him go. I've had all 1 want and a little more than I want of pet Bears. He goes straight back to the Green Forest and the sooner you get him there the better I'll like it.

That Cub must have been in here then and.I shut him in. The rascal has been having a high old time, and I guess every drop of molasses is out of that barrel. I'll open up the outside doors and we'll chase him out that way.” So Farmer Brown opened up the bulkhead doors and the hunt for Cubby was resumed. As F: Brown’s Boy approached some there was a sudden scurry them and out darted a small form. Farmer Brown's Boy grabbed at him, but missed him Farmer Brown jumped to catch him as he started for the open bulkhead. Cubby dodged and then made straight for the stairs that led up to the Kkitcken. Straight through the puddle of molasses he galloped and up the cellar stairs to the kitchen, while Mother Brown shrieked and Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown’s Boy said unkind things about him. Then Farmer Brown's Boy, forgetting all about his sticky shoes, started up after Cubby as fast as he could go. behind black (Copyright. 1927.)

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy. as has been said before, was famous for her beverages. Other folks might serve the same old things time | after time, but Nancy usually present- | ed a new quirk. For instance, she had used eream and ginger ale for many a roup | day, so had her friends. But she was the first one to combine heavy maple shaved ice and then give it a final touch by pouring ginger into the glasses already filled one arter with the maple and cream | mixture. "Over the top she sprinkled small bits of preserved ginger. Her grape juice was famous. She made her own in the simplest possible fashion. She took Concord grapes, picked them from the stem and put one cup in a well sterilized quart jar. I she added one-half cup sugar. The jar was now filled with bolling water. The sterilized rubbers and top were adjusted. After a few weeks standing this juice was ready to serve. The grapes were strained from the juice.” It had a most refreshing fresh taste. Nancy always made plenty of this juice in grape season. (Copyright. 1027.) Are you looking for a refreshing new 1k “to serve vour guests?

Hold the tiny baby's hands forcibly and he'll begin to cry. He is unmis- takably manifesting his anger at his freedom being restrained. Anger is an instinct which shows itself very early in life. The older child becomes angry when he suffers an affront of any kind. Take away the child's toys and give them to another child and it will be a strange child who won't resent it and sulk and cry. That same child would be quite willing to lend his toys if the mother would al- low him to do it himself, but he con- siders it an affront to his generosity and to his feelings as the owner o have this privilege taken away from him forcibly. The chances for a child to exhibit anger are so manifold. His relations with his own family and his schoolmates are always bringing up situations which are a blow to his self-respect, pride, sensitiveness, and 80 on. No wonder the child early learns to cultivate his anger instinct. The still older child exhibits a new form of anger. This takes the form of indignation. Remember Willie Baxter and his terrible indignation at Jane’s publicly eating bread and but- ter and apple sauce? The adolescent is always being indignant about some- thing or other. This is because of his newly awakened self-consciousness and his constant resentment against fancied ridicule of his character, his characteristics or those of his fam- i Children are always running home, hot with indignation, because some one has cast an aspersion at Aunt Anne's funny walk, or dad's propensity for green ties. In later years they will laugh themselves— but not in the teens. These are se- rious defamations of their family. These emotions are natural. They create encrgy. The lazy person is slow to anger because it Is too much trouble. Led in the right direction anger accomplishes miracles. For anger against our own puny selves leads us to attempt and accomplish otherwise impossible feats. To Jet anger go unharnessed in. stead of working it out harmlessly and to good ends, makes the person the slave of the emotion instead of using it as a motive power. One | doesn’t need need to be told that when anger is allowed to go uncheck- | ed or undirected it becomes as de- | moralizing a force as drink or drugs.

Talks About the Lost Art of Letter- Writing Some Important Don’ts THE complaint is frequently made that the art of lotter-writing is a lost | art, and the assertion is true. In our grandparents’ time the ability to write a graceful and charming letter was not only the hallmark of breeding but the quintessence of polite education. Letter-writing today, however, has sadly fallen from its high estate. From being ‘an elegant accomplishment it has passed into a drudgery that we hire some one to perform for us if we can. The wire has superseded the pen. We telephone or telegraph our congratulations, our condolences, our news, even our love missives, until it looks as if we might cease writing altogether | and the letter become as extinct as' the dodo. This is a pity, for letter-writing is still an art worth following, and none of us is so dull as not to recognize the charm of a beautiful and well written letter. Tn society the ability to write such an epistle is its own letter of credit that every one honors at sight, while in business it forms one of the most valuable assets a man or woman can possess. Of course, no one can teach another person just how to write a letter, any more than he can teach him or her how to talk. That must depend on circumstances and be the result of one's own spontaneous thought and re- flect one's own personality. But there are some ways of not writing a letter to which the attention of the young may be profitably called. The first is the unpardonable rudeness of not answering questions. This is the pet, particular sin of the woman correspondent who rarely pays her correspondent the courtesy to read over the letter which she is‘answering, or even to remember what it was about. You may write to a woman and ask questions in which you are vitally | interested and which are of the greatest moment to yougand she will reply with 12 pages criss-crossed until it is like a Chinese pule without ever al- luding in the remotest manner to the things you wrote to her about and which you wish to know. R OTHER bit of counsel that the letter-writer may well take to heart is never to mail a letter that has been written in an emotional moment until you have kept it in cold storage for 24 hours. You can put a lot of pep into a letter that you write when you are angry that you will miss if you wait until you cool off, but you will save yourself many a lifelong regret. All of us say things we do not mean, and that hurt and wound when we lose our tempers, but the spoken word is a pellet of dough compared to the written sentence. That is a steel bullet that pierces the heart and slays friendship and affection. The hot words, the harsh criticisms, the bitter accusations spoken when blood was up, will be forgiven and forgotten, but the letter stands unexcused by the anger of the moment, and often and often the flimsy paper on which it is written outlives the hand that penned it and keeps the memory of even the dead surcharged with bitterness. Equally dangerous is the tendency to be sentimental in letters. Nearly every woman is full of bottled-up poetry and sentimentality, and she is as- sailed beyond resistance by the temptation to make a fool of herself when she sits down before a quire of elean, white paper with a pen in her hand. Then it is that she writes things full of yearning, and thrills, and dark hectic flushes that she wouldn’t have the nerve to say to any kuman being's face and that she would blush to read the next day. Nor are women alone in this tendency to slop over in letters, as is wit- nessed by the idiotic love letters written by otherwise intelligent men which form exhibit A in most divorce and breach-of-promise cases. A safe rule to g0 by when you feel like dropping into poetry in a letter is never to write anything that you would not be willing to hear read aloud by the cold and unsympathetic “attorney for the prosecution. For fool endearment never seems so foolish as when it is written out in a letter. I the art of letter-writing should, indced, become a lost art, there is one thing that would reconcile us to it, and that is the amount of folly it would save young girls from committing or is the confidant of young men, mus Any one who has sons or brothers, almost feel that it is a mistake to teach girls how to write when they peruse the reams of gush, the passionate endearments and the protestations of undying affection which young women do ‘not_hesitate to pour out on paper to any youth for whom they have a passing fancy. Tt is no justification of these letters to say that the girls don't mean them and that they write sentiment just as th sentiment, because they don’t know anything e with which to fill uy time and space. The bald fact remains that they are written and that they never should have been written. vrite them Of course, every girl deludes herself with the false belief that her letters are sacred and meet no eye but the one for whom they are penned. Never was there a greater mistake. The average youth regards his mash letters as the Indian does the scalps at his belt, as visible proofs of his prowess. And in the few cases where a man is honorable enough not to show his letters from girls he is careless ‘and leaves them around in office desks, in bureaus and old coat pockets for prying office boys and curious housegirls to read at pleasure. Finally, don't write depressing letters. Don't take the lamentations of Jeremiah as a model for your communications to your family and friends. All of us have correspondents whose letters we dread to open because they are a record of everybody who is sick, or dead, or-who has gone broke, or had some misfortune, and the writer throws in gobs of gloom on her behalf, until we are ready to think that everything has gone blooey in this miserable vale of tears. If we were face to face with the individual we would know this pes- simism was merely a passing mood, but the letter seems desperate, fraught with ‘despair and woe. In a word, write cheerfully, write briefly, write gossipily. Never tell a secret in a letter or write anything you wduldn't be willing to have your worst enemy read. And if you write a poor hand, use the typewriter! DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1027.) The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle | (Copyright. 1927.) BN E R AEEE e 47 . &3 Across. . Japanese general, 1.

Its uses are manifold and its virtues many. In the first place, the painted val- ance board makes an exceedingly trim and pretty finish for the window drap- eries. All rods and fixtures are hid- ben by it, and may even be attached to it when it is of wood. These hoards may be of wood if they are to be really permanent fix- ¥ tures, or they can be contrived very cleverly from wallboard. They may be painted any color de- sired, and ‘this makes their decorative possibilities very great. If one has cretonne drapes the boards-may be painted to match whatever shade in the_cretonne one wishes to accent. Valance boards, unlike valances of cloth, do not fade and do not have to be taken down and cleaned. (Covyright. 1927.)

On an_examination of the account by an official of the bank it was learn- ed that Fairbanks’ claim was correct, and that an error had been made in dishonoring the check. Angry at the occurrence, Fairbanks withdrew his deposit and consulted an attorney as to his right of damages, The attorney thus briefly summar- ized the law covering the case: “There is a conflict of decisions as to the extent of a bank’s liabil- ity for wrongfully dishonoring a check. A distinction is generally made between the checks of a trader or merchant that are re- turned and those of a private i dividual. In the former case it generally presumed, without fu ther proof, that substantial dam- ages have heen sustained, while in the case of the latter only the damages actually proven may be recovered. In some jurisdictions, however, substantial damages will also be allowed private individuals, while In others a merchant, too, must show actual damages in order to recover more than a nominal verdict."” Sam Young @nd Tom Gay formed a partnership to conduct a grocery busi- ness. After a few years Young de- cided to engage In a different enter- price, and Gay bought out his share. Following his withdrawal, Young advertised in a newspaper that the partnership had been dissolved and that thereafter he would not be liable for any obligations of the store. Some time after Young had with- drawn a concern which had on prior occasions sold merchandise to the partnership made a large shipment to the store, unaware of Young's with- drawal. When the bill was not paid the company entered suit against both Young and Gay. At the trial Young defended the case on the ground that the bill had been contracted subsequent to his with drawal and after his advertisement of dissolution had been published. Notwithstanding this defense, Young was held liable in accordance with the following principle: “The publication of notice of dlsso- lution of a partnership is notice to all persons who have not had prior deal- ent iIn respect to persons who have dealt withsthe firm before dissolution. The rule in'such cases requires that to relieve a retiring partner from sub- sequent transactions in the partner- ship name notice of the dissolution must be brought home to the person extending credit to the partnership.” (Covyright, 1027.) o Peach-Orange Marmalade.

One question in the first health questionnaire we held in June was: 6. Give the best known method of resuscitation for the apparently drowned. i Only two or three of the many readers who sent in answers had this one right. A lot of readers named or indicated the method, but that wasn't the question. We asked the reader to give the method. That meant a de- scription of the procedure. It had been described, the prone pressure maneu- ver, in Schafer's own words, in this column a few weeks before we pub- lished the questionnaire, and we want- ed to see whether readers learn things we try to teach in this way.

Wrap a wisp of clean cotton around the end of an orange wood stick and dip it into the mixture, Then rub the grimy surface with the cotton. When the nafl is clean rinse off the bleach. When the cuticle around the nails has been softened with the cream and pushed back and the nails have been trimmed and cleansed, the next step is to polish them. A dull polish may obtained simply by rubbing the nails lightly to and fro on the dry palm of the hands, but the use of a nail polish brings speedier and brighter results. A pink nail polish may be made by mixing one ounce scented talcum powder with one ounce powdered orris root, one-half ounce of boric acid, 20 | drops of tincture of carmine, 10 drops | 0il of lavender and fiva drops oil of | bergamot. Place a little of the mix- | ture in the palm of one hand and rub | the nails of the other hand across it | until they are glossy. Now wash the polish off, dry the nails well, gently pushing back the cuticle at their bases with the towel, and finally use the buffer to restore the shine. M. D. H.
