So for a Jong time puss caught | jous game and presented it to the | g always saving i “This is a gift from my noble lord. | the Marquis of Carabas” for that was what the cat had named his master. One day puss heard that the king| was going riding with his daughter, & | T most beautiful princess. along the river uss told his master that h: fortune was made—for he had merely o go swimming in the river. The vouth. | having com to trust this marvelous cat. did as he was told. The cat took up & position on the road. and when the king came bv with the prinoess, the cat cried loudly: | “Help! Help!

So he commanded his guards to save the drowning man. The cat now explained to the king that some thieves had run away with his master’s clothes (though the cat had really hidden the clothes under a big stone). So the king sent some of his men to the palace to bring the finest suit of clothes for the Marquis. Puss took these fine clothes to his { master with great rejoicing, and helped him dress. Thus attired the young man | Jooked like a marquis indeed, and came | to pay his respects to the king—and | also to the king's daughter, who im. mediately fell in love with the hand- some youth on sight.

When puss saw that he Jost not a moment, but jumped straight for the mouse, and. quicker than lightning, he had killed him and eaten him at & single mouthful. The king was now nearing the castle, so the cat went out to meet him, sa ing: “Your majesty, you are welcome to the castle of my lord, the Marquis | of Carabas.™ The king was greatly astonished. “Is this your castle and arc all those lands indeed yours? There could be no more fine an estate in all the world. I must examine it.” So the king became the guest of the Marquis of Carabas, and all the serv- ants, who were afrald of the ogre were more than glad to acknowledge this new master. Indeed. the ogre had been planning to have some guests to dine with him, so the meal all read, the cat saw to it that they heard about the ogre's death. and that the king was in the castle. so they became afraid and denarted.

BURGESS This brown head held a good-sized fish in its mouth. 1t was the head of Little Joe Otter. Little Joe Otter climbed out on the foe close to the alder clump be- hind which Reddy Fox was hiding. Peter held his breath, Would Reddy try to catch Little Joe? But Reddy was wise to try anything of that sort. Little Joe was altogether too big for Reddy, and he knew it. Little Joe is a great fighter, a much better fighter than Reddy Fox. Peter was round-eyed. He wondered what would happen next. He knew ust how Reddy must feel watching Little Joe eat that big fish. “It must be dreadful to watch another eat when ou Are hungry.” thought Peter, “but 'm glad Reddy didn't get Jerry Musk- rat. I just know it was Jerry he was after.” Meanwhile Little Joe Otter had bitten out & choice bit just back of the head of the fish. Then he slid into the water again, leaving the fish on the bank. A moment later Little Joe re- appeared with another fish and climbed out at the same place where he had sat before. And what do you think Peter did? He slipped outside that hollow stump and suddenly he stamped with all his might. You know, Peter is & great thumper when he sets out to be. It startled everybody. Jerry Muskrat dived into the spring-hole with & splash. Little Joe Otter dived |in without a_splash. leaving his fish | behind him. Reddy Fox half rose from his hiding place. Peter promptly dived back into the hollow stump. Just then Jerry Muskrat poked his head out of the ‘water to see what had frightened him. He saw Reddy Fox. Reddy knew then that all his scheming and | planning was to go for nothing. But. | after all, what he wanted was a good meal, and there it was right before him—the two fish Little Joe Otter had | left.

(2) What foods are the most fattening? I can't drink milk. PEG. Answer—(1) You forgot to state your | age, 50 that I cannot tell you your | e ar too thin. Your r physical condition is the undemm c&uie of the dry, scaly complexion, which ex- ternal treatments alone cannot remedy. Cleanse your skin very throughly with cleansing cream or oll at bedtime. Squeeze out a small pad of clean absorb- |ent cotton in cold water and use it to | remove the cold cream. Be sure to get %nfl all your make-up and the dust that | has settled on your face during the day. Now pat a mild skin lotion on your face. Here is an excellent recipe for the purpose: ', cupful pure almond meal or cornmeal, 1 cupful milk, 1 tablespoonful of glyeerin; 3 drops tinc- ture of benzoin. Mix the meal and milk together first and let them stand for a few minutes before straining off the juice through a clean piece of cheesecloth. Mix the juice with the other ingredients and keep in a cool place. (2) Milk is a wholesome food | and you are a very silly girl to omit | it from your diet. You cannot be healthy and pretty unless you eat nourishing food. You should drink at least a pint of milk each day.
