| BEDTIME STORIES Grows Lonesome. W"'l no such thin single bliss en constantly the: you miss. —Nanny Meadow Mouse. Nanny Meadow Mouse had made her- self a very comfortable bed of in an old tin can. It was an old gal- lon ol can. The entrance to it was Just the right size. It was an ideal place for a home, “It couldn't be better,” Nanny kept saying over and over as she lay in her comfortable bed. “This is the place I'd il L3 ®OH, PETER, WHERE IS DANNY?” SHE EXCLAIMED. ke to have for my new home. If only Danny were here, I would never want to move again. It is queer he doesn’t come. I do hope nnmm:*\u happened to him. But I guess he'll come before Danny didn't come. A day and & night passed. Another day and an- other night passed and there was no sign of Danny. With such little folk as Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse, & day and a night is & very long time. Nanny grew vety uneasy. She wanted to go out to look for Danny. However, this would be a foolish thing to do. It would be foolish because she hadn’t the least idea where to look for him. The wise thing to do was what she was doing—remaining right at home. It was far better to let Danny find her, or try to find her, than for her to try to find him. So Nanny never wandered very far from the old can. For several days Nanny saw no one. Then Peter Rabbit happened along. ‘Yes, sir; Peter happened along. Nanny could almost have cried for joy. “Oh, Peter! Where is Danny?” she exclaimed t as soon as she saw him. _“How should I know?” demanded Peter, looking very much surprised. “The last time I saw him he was with Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND, * _ There is always & demand for inex- pensive furniture that, can be painted for bed and breakfast S they are ready 1 ‘The table and stool (which may be used for the telephone) tht _be or = The chair is just the that is for the small apartment breakfast room, 4 ond it may be used in combination with drop-leaf table just large enough rsons. may be painted one color be trimmed with a contrast- in such places as the edges of rs and stripes on the rungs. these are unfinishe all the better, since mean i Gl § BRIGHTER BY THORNTON W. BURGESS you, Did you lose him, or did he lose “I don't know,” whimpered Nanny. “A horrid dog chased me and I haven't seen Danny since. I'm afraid some- thing has happened to him. Yes, sir; I am afraid something has happened to him. I'm lonesome, Peter. I'm lone- some and I get more lonesome every day._Please, Peter, if you see anything of Danny, or if you hear anything about him, let me know. You don’t suppose anything dreadful has hap- pened to him, do you?” “No,” replied Peter, trying to com- fort Nanny. “Don’t you worry about Danny Meadow Mouse. He is quite equal to taking cdle of himself, He's around somewhere and sooner or later he'll show up. He is probably looking for you and is worrying about you just as you are worrying about him. If I see him, where shall I tell him you are?” - Nanny was just on the point of tell- ing Peter that she was making her home in that old can when she thought better of it. It wasn't that she didn't trust Peter. She knew Peter wouldn't intentionally make any trouble for her, but the way to keep a secret is to keep it secret. ~So, instead of telling him that she was living in_that old can, she said, “Tell him that I am living right around here. He will find me not very far from where are are now. If he comes over here, he will be sure to find my little paths through the grass, and then it won't take long for him to find me.” “All right,” said Peter, “I'll tell him if I see his But you know I may not see him at all. I'll watch out for him and I'll ask others to watch out for him. Now, don't worry too much, Nanny. Danny has been away before and he has always come back. He'll come back this time.” “Oh, dear, I hope s0!” replied Nanny. “It's very lonesome, Peter Rabbit, living alone—very, very lonesome.” Mint Jelly.

Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMAR. Steaming Wrinkles. Nothing, save spots, gives such an untidy appearance to you clothes as wrinkles. When you see & woman in a wrinkled frock or coat you somehow think to yourself that that woman has slovenly and careless habits. She throws her clothes down any way- 't bother to put them on hangers or to fold them up nicely. Yet wrinkles will come to the clothes of even the most fastidious and it is well nigh impossible to pack clothes so that when they are taken from a trunk they will not display wrinkles of some **%¢ %5 ‘Sirprising wha good is surprising what a lot of Just simply hanging out will do to many materials. - A georgette frock though badly wrinkled will lose wrinkles if al- lowed to hang up on a hanger in the room for a day. And it is far better for this material to remove wrinkles in this way than to attempt to press it. Silk or woolen clothes are often so badly wrinkled that mere pressing with & hot iron will not take the wrinkles out, and it is not always good to use a dampened pressing cloth. A good thing to do is to hant up the wrinkled gar- ment on & hanger in a place where it will become thoroughly steamed. You may hang the frock in the bath room, close the door and windows, let the hot water run into the bath tub until the room becomes thoroughly steamy, and then leave the garment there for an hour or so. After this it may be pressed with a moderately hot iron. If you like you may hang the garment in the kitchen near the stove and then permit a kettle of water to boil vigor- ously for 10 minutes or so, so that the air becomes very steamy. Prize Lemon Pie. Put through a flour sifter into the top of a double boiler one cupful- of sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of flour, and a pinch of salt. Add gradually, stirring all the time, two cupfuls of bolling water, and cook it over hot water until the mixture is thick and smooth and the flour tastes cooked, or for about 10 minutes. Pour it over the well beaten yolks of two eggs, return to the boiler to cook for a minute longer, then stir in one tablespoonful of but- ter and half a cupful of lemon juice. Pour it into & baked pie shell, add the meringue, and bake until the egg is cooked and delicately browned. e Peach Sago. Soak one cupful of sago in two fuls of cold water for two hours. Dra! and add enough sirup from a can of peaches mixed with water to make two and one-half cupfuls. Prepare the mcha by placing them upright in & ing dish, pour in the soaked sago, sprinkle with half a cupful of sugar and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Serve with cream. It will keep for about two days. In place of the sago ‘or;c cl;pful rg( rice l::y be used, :’r & quicker dessert may prepared ‘::hi" one-third cupful of minute ploca. STAR, WASHINGT! When Great Folks Turn Petty Dean Swift Lambasted Sir Robert Walpole and Then Sought Favor of Him. BY J. P. GLASS. “BUT DOCTOR,”. HE ASKED, “IF YOU WANTED SUPPORT, WHY DID YOU ° ATTACH YOURELF TO A FALLING WALL?” Of two noted critics of Dean Swift is the statement frequently made that probably Horace Walpole was more“just| “Swift changed his politics as often as than Dr. Samuel Johnson. | Johnson attacked Swift on all occa- | sions, saying that only his “Tale of Tub” was worth while, and that it wa: hard to believe he really had written it.| Walpole, on the other hand, claimed that while Swift “had a bad heart” he was a good writer. It is remarkable that while no one reads Johnson today and few read Wal- pole, every school child knows Swift through his “Gulliver's Travels.” | Perhaps Johnson's aversion to Swift, the writer, was due in part to his an- tipathy to what Walpole calls “the bad heart” of the man. Walpole said of the dean: “Even to the last he was de- voured by ambition, which he pretended to_despise.” | In consonance with Walpole's remark | he changed his wig.” This small side of his nature was | illustrated in_his unfortunate colloquy with Sir Robert Walpole, the great minister who preserved the English crown to the Protestant succession and GUARANTEED HARMLESS PERFUMED MANICURE POLISH et 10 FRAGRANT PERFUME—SKILLFUL BLENDING COSMETIC-FINE INGREDIENTS COMPLETELY ELIMINATE UNPLEASANT CHEMICAL ODORS PERFUMED POLISH—THREE SHADES $1.
