I thought that probably she had under- gone a bewildered period when she first tried to wait upon customers, with questions being asked her to compute her sales and from other purchasers floating to her ears. She was used to it all now, you ‘could see. She had become competent in the stress of a morning’s rush. “The man was in a DAILY DIET RECIPE VEAL CUTLET CAFE DE PARIS. Veal cutlet, one pound.

Now that the busy shopping days prior to Christmas are close at hand, yaany & tired woman who may or may just what she wishes to buy for some friend will fully sympathize with the elderly gentleman, she may not be so frank in voicing her predicament. It is well, therefore, to see if such bewilderment cannot be avoided. And it may be that by a little careful planning we can spare ourselves and lessen & trifle the con- fusion which baffles one's thoughts. When a nh:gper is confused, it makes the task of the person waiting upon her doubly difficult. - First and foremost among the pre- ventive measures is to shop _early. | Both the customer’s and the salesper- son's minds are fresh, and this tends | to clear thinking This is one reason why a shopper accomplishes double the amount of work in the same time that | she does when her mind gets chaotic in a rush. It is not all, because the sales- person can serve her promptly. Another help-is-to concentrate on the items that are of prime importance and let the things be secondary that one would like to do but which can go until another time. If the shopper knows what these secondary items are, she will be quick as she goes about to note opportunities to buy should such things be on display, and particularly if they are “specially priced.” When once the mind is weary, chances are | passed by, and, like the bewildered | gentleman, even the things one plans to get slip from the memory. A well thought out list is another | hely to prevent mental confusion. Even if one's mind is tired, it can fasten on | the items seen on a list and proceed to buy them. A list is stabilizing. Write it on some colored paper that is asso- ciated in your thoughts with shopping | lists, and you will find yourself less liable to lose a list than when it is on ordinary white or cream paper.

JACK SELDOM EVER TAKES ANYONE SERIOUSLY. HE TOLD IMA DUDD THAT SHE'S TOO M.B.—“Jack seldom takes” seldom if ever takes,” not “Jack seldom ever takes.” When ever is used with seldom, it should be precede by “if.” Dumb means having no power of speech.

Shredded Wheat is an ideal indoor-weather food. It contains the mineral salts that make healthy red blood and the bran that p even though exercise romotes regular habit is restricted. Plenty of nourishment—and easily digested too. Eat Shredded Wheat every morning—a biscuit or two with hot milk for a delicious, vital- izing breakfast.

At first you would say that the sketch is of a hooked rug, but it isn't; it is a | hand-blocked linen, but taken from a very lovely old hooked rug so that the design in every detail, as well as the coloring, is authentic and the material is worthy of a place in the home of the most fastidious furnisher. ‘This material is made in four differ- t color combinations—one with green ting, the other three shades tete-de-negre, cream and tan. It is not difficult to imagine how de- lightful & room would be with this material as the chief decorative note. Just think of a dining room with wood- work of pine, walls in a light this with a floor covering of similar charactr~, for the two would not be pleasing together. As a furniture covering this’material would also be ideal for the early Ameri- can house.

It never makes friends and it does make enemies. Besides, it hurts the feelings of others. It destroys friendships, and friendships are very precious. He is rich indeed who is rich in_many_ true friends. Peter Rabbit was being teased. At D. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS the narrowest of escapes. Once Reddy Fox surprised him there and Peter had a hard run for his life. Once Peter dodged just in the nick of time to escape the great claws of Hooty the Owl, and it was wholly because he was too intent on finding that unknown singer that he forgot to be on the watch for enemies, a thing that none of ‘the little people of the Green Forest lndd the Green Meadows ever can afford 0. first he didn’t mind it, but after awhile |t it got so that avoided his old friends and neighbors whenever he could. You see, they had all heard about how he said that he had heard a strange so: in the night in the Green Forest, an how he had vainly hunted for the singer. No one had seen or heard a feathered stranger in the Green Forest, 8o, like Jumper the Hare, they all lt{lou(ht that Peter must have dreamed “Had any more dreams?" Sammy Jay would ask whenever he found Peter in the dear Old Briar-patch, and he took pains to visit it every day. Then he would fly away chuckling. Reddy Fox would come around and gravely invite Peter to go with him over to the Green Forest to look for that unknown singer, and grin in the most provoking manner, Blacky the Crow would out of his way to visit the dear Old Briar- tch almost every day. “Hello, Peter,” lacky would say. “What is the news from dreamland? You should be more careful what you eat, Peter. Never go to sleep on a full stomach if you don't want to dream.” “I didn’t dream,” Peter would retort. “There was a strange song over in the Green Forest. I heard it and I wasn't asleep. That singer may not be there now, but he was there that night and some day I'll find out 'hofi was and then it will be my turn to laugh.” Even little Tommy Tit the Chickadee souldn’t resist the temptation to tease Peter a little, and Drummer the Wood- pecker and Yank Yank the Nuthatch would ask Peter if he had found that strange singer yet. Do you wonder that Peter grew cross and avoided his old friends whenever he could? But all this teasing made Peter more determined than ever to find out who that mysterious singer was. He spent most of his time over in the Green Forest hoping to hear that song again. He grew careless and several times had Once Peter was sure that he heard that song again, but it was so far away that it was very faint and he couldn’t tell where it' came from. This time he took care to tell no one, for he knew that it would result only in more teas- ing. But it made him more deter- mined than ever to get at the bottom of that mystery. “I never can be happy again until 1 do,” Peter would say to himself. “If that strange bird has gone away he’ll be sure to come back sometime and when he does he'll sing again. I'll find him or my name isn't Peter Rabbit.” Gradually his friends stopped teas- ing Peter. The joke had grown so old that it was no longer interesting. They gradually forgot all about it. But Peter didn’t forget. He was always on the watch for a strange feathered singer, and never went into the Green Forest without hoping that this time he would solve the mystery. You see, his curiosity hadn’t been satisfled; it was as great as ever. So he was always looking and listening and he never left the Green Forest for the dear Old Briar-patch without a feeling of disappointment. At the same time he never lost faith that somehow, some day, he would find out all about it. (Copyright. 1930) A flavor that wins the in- stant favor of children!
