Danny Meadow Mouse had something fo think about. He was sure that the nest of Carcl the Meadow Lark was somewhere in the neighborhood, but ‘where he didn’t know. anny was in- terested. He knew that Mrs. Meadow Lark builds her nest on the ground. Carol had already told him that there| were eggs in that nesi. Now, Danny Meadow Mouse isn't above stealing an egg when he can do it in safety. He got to thinking of those eggs in that nest of Mrs. Meadow Lark's. The more he thought of them the more he wanted to sample thém, So he began 'nd a great deal of time looonn. for that x:'e'ft.

However, Danny noticed that Carol most often disappeared in the grass in ® certain direction. “Right over there is where that nest 1s,” thought Danny, and began cutting a little path in that direction. Little by little that path grew and as he worked he could look up and see Carol. It didn’t once accur to Danny Carol, looking down, might see : down in the grass j Danny chuckled when he saw “He's taking that to feed Mrs. Lark,” sald Danny to himself. #Y%s, sir, he's feeding Mrs. Meadow Lark on the nest. He's saving her the trouble of going to look for food. That nest must be only a little way ahead. I pught to find it pretty soon now.” A few moments later Danny heard the sound of wings and Carol flew up out of the grass from a point only a few feet away. Danny’s eyes brightened. He was sure that he was just about to find that nest. If he found that nest, MODEST @isa shea this. oned with as much as routine. If only things could proceed with leisure, is the ardent wish of one and probably of all in the family. It is well to consider the advantages that accrue from this speed, for the dis- advantages do not exist alone. At first thought they may seem to, but quite the reverse is true, The balance is at least even, and perhaps upon due con- sideration’ the advantages may over- balance in weight. Speed the first thing in the morning sets a good tempo to action. It puts worth on time which, well used, makes wark get out of the way with s rapidity. In homes wi breakfast is eaten lelsurely work is apt ward, with the result that real leisure, when one wants it later in the day, is sadly lacking. 8o speed, without any hectic rush, has its distinct advantage in this matter of accomplishing work. For another thing, when time is pressing, the attention of each person is focused on the duties of the day without being diverted by unrelated thoughts and discussions that turn the attention into unimportant channels. ‘The accomplishment of present and im- mediate duties should stand uppermost. ‘They require concentrated thought and effort. ‘Where breakfasts are prolonged by drag one's ‘thoughts back to duties. Time is frittered away if the conversa- is trifing. If it has been d‘:: and profound, mental energy is tax: and it takes more or less time to restore energy, as it does to recharge a battery. It is only when the mind is restored, or recharged, that the thoughts can be guided back with any degree of vigor to consider plans and to see that tasks at hand are executed. After all, then, is it not wise to ac- | cept with a good grace the necessarily | hurried breakfast, not eaten in a rush. | but with the a.tention given to the | nourishing food rather than to divert- |ing talk? Such a breakfast permits one's thoughts to shape themselves about the dutles of the day. It fur- thers accomplishment both by tuning up one’s energles and stimulating con- eentration.

He knew exactly where Carol had flown up from. “I'll be very careful now,” thought Danny. “I'll be very, very careful. I don’t want Mrs. Meadow Lark to see me. If she should see me, she would be suspicious.” Danny worked very, very carefully until he came to the piace from which Carel had flown.

It might be a good thing to start that old semg again and let some of the women and girls of this day know that they may be wanted at home. Of course, home in & modern apart- ment is not what it used to be in the old homestead, but that is not the rea- son why 80 many chickens should try to fiy the coop and take the air. Home still some sort of hold upon them, ::od then they are supposed to be ladies, A woman may be perfectly right and proper in her appearance and deport- ment and yet leave out some of the touches which used to accompany her ladyship in the days more or less of yore. Then, too, in passing from one era of feminine existence to another we have put a meaning into the word “woman” which was never there before. Time was when a “woman” was a rather ordinary creature, quite distinct from the “lady.” It was the lady in the parlor and the woman ir the kitchen, but we have changed all that done away with all that nonsense. real is as ready to handle a a fan, and it's only two to get a book on etiquette to see how the old trick was worked in the parlor. These are “bug days,” in the sense that all sorts of things are attributed to germs of a good or bad sort. Now, what we need is the “ladybug,” or some- thing that will enable us to ecultivate the fine manners and superior poise of the lady that was. m‘l’he;e( la‘r.e’ msome ‘who 'c;r{hy the old rit over int e rumpua of modern life. Helen Wills is as mod- ern as the best of them, but her reserve makes her something like a lady of the last century, Anne Morrow Lindbergh may tog out in aviator's overalls or &' driver’s suit and scoot over the conti- nent, but when she lands she’s still a lady. But there are others who think that the break with the old-fashioned past means noisy manners and tough waya. They want us to know that they belan; to the new era, and no suggestion an old grandmother about them. They are the ones who ought to be vacei- nated with the ladybug stuff to make them wholesome and healthy. The real ladybug will ever keep the home in sight and be ready to fly back to it.

A common situation is that of baby sleeping with his mother, and sometimes (we hate to say) with both parents. How any baby can possibly rest com- fortably huddled between two adults, covered with their smothering comforts and blankets, is past comprehension. Even the mothers admit that the baby wakens four or five times at night. One mother said she nursed the baby each time he cried; another said the father shook it until it went to sleep (what a peaceful sleep that would be after a 15 minute shaking!), and altogether things are far from ideal in either household. Sometimes an older child cries at night, and to soothe it the mother brings him into her bed, only to initiate & habit which becomes so fixed that the child refuses to sleep anywhere else. No such habit could get started if the parents regolutely abstained from tak- ing the child in their bed for any part of the night. There is no possible ex- cuse for it. The baby should sleep in his own little bassinet or large clothes basket from the day of his birth. He can be made far more comfortable with bedding suited to his size and adjusted to his own particular needs. At first the bed need be nothing more elaborate than a stout pillow stuffed firmly into the bottom of the large square clothes basket, and baby needs neither pillow nor springs. If he is far away from his mother, he will not demand to be mjugddlm‘ ttlme h:.k opens his eyes, so e ba of waking repeatedly to be fed can never start. ¥ jid ‘The baby of 9 months or 1 year needs @ crib, for he is too large to sleep in a clothes basket comfortably. The crib should have h sides with narrow bars, through which the baby can by no _possible gymnastics thrust his head. The disadvantages of sleeping with the parent are clear enough. There are no disadvantages whatever to asleeping alone. Baby can be kept just as warm or as cool as his comfort demands at any time cf year. He is not disturbed each time his parents turn over, and | his_undisturbed sleep will teach him early in life tol go most of the night Wwithout being fed--a habit he cannot | learn too soom, both for his own benefit and that of his mother. In homes where beds are limited and bed space at a premium it is far better for children to sleep in baskets or trundle beds which push under the |large beds in daytime, or even on a mattress on the floor, than to share the bed of any adult.

ROUGHAGE IS ESSENTIAL IN REDUCING DIETS, Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN Is Ideal | Roughage If you are following a reducing diet, it is doubly important that you take a regular amount of roughage into the system daily. Most reduc. ing diets do not contain a sufficient amount of roughage. The result is constipation——thief of both health and beauty. Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN is recom- mended by many doctors and die- titians because it contains the bulk necessary to insure proper elimina- tion. Also, because it contains the iron needed to help prevent anemia— another danger in reducing diets. ALL-BRAN is not fattening.
