But that is nothing against him, for this is the way of rabbits. “Is your home up here in the Old Pasture?” inquired Mrs. Peter. “It hasn't been, but it is going to be from now on,” replied Little Pete. “I have just come up from the Green Forest.” “Then you haven't been around iIn the Old Pasture a great deal?” said little Mre.

If the Old Pasture suits me as well as I think it will, and suits Mrs, Pete. we shall stay here, whether Old Jed Thumper likes it or not.” “Did you say Mrs. Pete” little Mrs. Peter. Little Pete nodded. Of course, it was absurd to call him Little Pete, but his mother could think of him by no other name. “Where is she?” inquired little M Peter. “Oh, somewhere about,” raplied Lit- tle Pete carelessly.

The two ways that parents can use to avoid arousing curiosity is either to talk openly about the matter, if it is really of slight significance, or else to refrain from mentioning the sub- ject when the child is around. "I have seen parents stumble and try to turn a conversation in other chan. nels when they discover that a child is alert. By that time the child's cu- riosity is already piqued. If he is con- fidential with his parents, he will be sure to ask one of them about it later If he is not, he will try in some v to find out. There are many subjects that are piquing to the child's mind which will do him no harm to hear talked over. Such things relate to home affairs that are of a confidential nature. If they are talked over freely before chil- dren, the little folk must be made to understand that they are let into this family conyersation because the par- ents appreoiate that they can be trust- ed not to speak of the matters out- side. A sense of responsibility and loyalty is engendered in children so trusted surprisingly lacking in those before whom secrecy is observed. When a child is found to lack the loyalty to guard these home confi- dences, then secrecy has to be the rule. But it is a wise pavent who first finds out how the child happened to speak of the matter before con- demning. It sometimes happens that a prying person has put the child in such a corner by questioning that he zave the information without really intending to divulge it. Sometimes he is unaware that he did. Then the child can be given a word of warning not to talk about anything pertaining to home affairs with such a person. If the child has really known that he should not speak of subjects talked over hefore him, and vet has done so, disobedience is recogniz Parents should try to further cultivate a sense of loyalty in him. or else thereafter guard their own words and keep their own counsels.

It is a very big place, indeed, and you needn’t worry about being crowded. But it is a dangerous place, too.” “Dangerous in what way?” asked Little Pete, “It is the home of Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy,” replied his mother. “Huh!" sald Little Pete. “And Old Man Coyote and Mrs. Covote live up here,” added Mrs. Peter. “That is going make life all the more interesting,” declared Little Pete. “He 1s so like his father,” sighed little Mrs. Peter to herself.

After a few trials she decided they were the finest sort of dishes because food could be cooked and then served in them. They kept food hot and cut down the number of dishes needing washing. Things like macaroni, corn pudding and escalloped oysters were surely made for casseroles. But there were other things, too—for instance, escalloped sweet potatoes and apples and escalloped white potatoes with pork chops, Nancy cooked the sweet potatoes, pared and sliced them, putting a layer of cooked potato in the bottom of the casserole. Then came a layer of sliced, raw apple. Brown sugar and dots of -butter covered this layer. The process was repeated until the cas- serole was nearly full. A small amount of water was added. As the mixture baked, the juice of the apples mingled with the sugar and butter. When the apples were soft and shapeless the dish was ready for serving. Sometimes Nancy used this recipe, putting uncooked pork chops on top during the last half hour of baking.
