These can be served as a vegetable or alone as an entree, with or without one teaspoonful of maple sirup poured over and with crackers spread with peanut butter. Cabbage Cheese Rolls.—Parboil the separated leaves of Vinter cabbage. Prepare a filling as follows: One cup- ful grated cheese, one beaten egg, one tablespoonful flour and three-quarters cupful fine bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper Moisten with undi- luted condensed tomato soup. Form into rolls. Put one into each cabbage leaf, roll the leaf around it and skewer securely with wooden toothpicks. Place in a buttered pudding dish. Pour milk around them to the depth of one inch. Cover and steam in a hot oven until the cabbage leaves are tender when pierced with a fork or metal skewer. Renew the milk if needed. When nearly done fine bread crumbs and dot with butter. Brown in the oven or under a flame. Serve in the pudding dish as a lunch- eon or supper dish. With it may be meat. (Copyright. 1930.) Potato Pancakes. Scrub and pare enough White potatoes to make two cupfuls when grated, and grate them into_cold water to keep from discoloring. Drain well; and to every two cupfuls of potato allow one beaten egg, two tablespoonfuls of flour, and enough milk to make a stiff batter. Season with salt, pepper and onion juice. Cook in a frying pan with hot fat to the depth of about half an inch. A large spoonful of batter makes a good sized cake. Cook until well browned and crisp and serve as a vege- table with meat and gravy. Espe- cially good with a stew. waste of time and money. Far better find some other talent in the child and cultivate it. It is possible for him to develop what is in him. It is impossible for him to develop what is not in him. ‘The school orchestra is a fine outlet for the children who long to play an instrument. Here there are instruments that any child can play and enjoy while this spell is upon them. A trumpet, a fife, a drum, a triangle, cymbals, sandpaper, all these .can be worked into an orchestra, and the chil- | © struction and the association. their inmuoducuon h:hey lhavun':’u and can be promot more and more difficult instru- ments. This does away with the waste of time and energy and money involved in giving private lessons to a child who thought he uld like to play some instrument. All children feel this way some time or other, and it is right to let them try. But do not take it too seriously. When the child shows signs of failing interest, change the form of instruction or drop it altogether. In these days of the radio, music ap- preciation can be acquired easily. If you select the finest music that is on the air; if you let the children listen to it carefully, they will Iormtfood taste for music. We need appreciative listen- ers as much as we need artists. Art without an audience is bound to starve to death. We can keep it alive in America by teaching the children to | understand and appreciate it.

Australians use them lots, I see, Along with cars; which means, of course, There'’s still a job for Mr., Horse.” THE COMPLAINER I'm full of compound trouble, my hopes are all deferred, my crops are merely stubble, the outlook is absurd; I'm in a grievous pickle, my briny teardrops trickle, but no one cares a nickel or says a friendly word. For I have been complaining of divers ills for years; some ache is always paining my elbows or my ears; my early hopes have dwindled and new ones are not kindled:; my whiskers, long and brindled, defy the barber's shears. My corns are al- ways throbbing, they torture, every toe, and to the neighbors, sobbing, I tell my tale of woe; my roof is always leaking, my hinges always squeaking; of sorrow I am shrieking as I weave to and fro. The world is cold, unfeeling; it puts me in a plight and felons keep on stealing my stovewood every night; my eggs are also Iifted by sneak thieves greatly gifted, whose wanton feet have drifted far from the paths of right. And some one steals my apples, and some one swipes my pears; in vain my sad heart grapples with all my fears and cares; all troubles are repeated, I'm gouged and bilkked and cheated, 80 feeling overheated, I tell of my af- fairs. At first my friends would listen, when, wailing, I appeared; perhaps a tear would glisten upon a flowing beard. Some sympathy they handed when such goods were demanded, but now disgust is candid when I tell stories weird. “We have grown tired of hearing,” they say, “your constant moan; perhaps we need some cheering—we've troubles of our own; but you are always loaded with grief that is corroded; no more will we be goaded, so go and bowl alone!"” ‘WALT MASON. NANCY PAGE Growing Plants in Winter and Summer. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Having besn brought up in a home with a greenhcuse and all the growing things which a person could want, Nancy missed the luxury of her own roses, chrysanthemums and other flow- TS, But she did not sit down and fuss about it—not she. She set to work to find something which she could afford and which would grow in her own home without the greenhouses and the gar- dener’s care. She discovered that a sweet potato put into a goblet of water or into an ivy ball, if the opening was large enough, would sprout and grow feathery green fronds which were really quite| satisfactory. Of courses she had some ivy in pots and some in ivy balls, These ivy balls used to be known as witch balls and may be procured—modern coples of them, that is—in almost any gift shop. She consulted with a nurseryman and landscape gardener to see what she could keep in a hall which was really quite cold in the Winter time. It was an outside hall and was insufficiently one and one-half cupfuls of stock, and | heated. salt and pepper to taste.

He ‘told her that begonias were amazingly hardy. “If,” said he, “the leaves appear touched by the cold, put a little cold water on them and they will frequently come back as good as new.” Other plants he recommended were Wandering Jew, English ivy and the dracemas, especially these with the red in _the leaves. He thought she would like auricaria, which is rather prim and proper, and the plant with the long name of “god- seffiana.” Nancy decided her house was going to be a garden, after all. Her paper- white narcissi were showing signs great life, just in time for Christmas. The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD rted her career as a frightened typist and who became one of the i nighest paid 'fi'a,.... women in America. Girl Behind Counter. ‘The girl behind the counter in a de- partment store sees a customer in two ways. She wants to sell goods, t more than actual sale she values teous treatment from a customer. ‘You would think that any girl who | works for a Lving ¥ would understand the girl hehind the counter and would be polite and cour- teous to her, but, strangely _enough, K it isn't so. Girls who work, rushing about shopping in their lunch hour, are often very inconsiderate of the girl who is waiting on them. One thing that makes the girl who is buying .irritable is that she never can afford to buy things as nice as she would like, and that is enough to de- stroy any one's disposition. Besides, she is afraid of being late at the office. If you are in a hurry and the sales- woman is busy, do not say to her, “Are you busy?” or “Will you wait on’ me?” A girl behind the counter tells me it is almost impossible to make any reply to these questions which the customer will consider polite. She has to answer “Just a moment, madam”; “Just as soon as I am through with this cus- tomer, madam,” or “I am busy,” all of which are the truth. And yet to the woman who asks the question they al- ODD DRAMAS Richard Cromwell Initiated cour- Helen Woodward BY J. P. ways seem to sound a little rude. Not long ago I heard a woman do a tactful and clever thing in these cir- cumstances. She called the flcor walk- er and sald to him, “All these girls are terribly overworked here today. Could you find somebody to wait on me?” ‘The result was a teful smile from the girls and immediate attention. But what is even more strange, many a working girl is willing to go into a dress department without any idea of buying anything at all. She merely wants to make a mental note of the most beccming dress, and then she will have her own dressmaker make it, or she will make it herself. ‘There are many women of leisure and well-to-do women who do this sort of thing. Mean as it is, you can at least realize that these women, never having worked out, don't understand what they are doing to the saleswoman. But & girl who works for a living herself should understand that the saleswoman is wasting time on her which she needs desperately and that the saleswoman will be discharged if her record isn't good enough. And she knows how the other girl will feel if she is discharged. This business of trying on clothes when they do not intend to buy is one of the meanest forms of cheating there is: not so much against the store, which, of course, must take its chances, but against the saleswoman, who is helpless. Girls having problems in connection with their work may write to Miss Woodward, in care of this paper, for her perscnal advice. (Copyright, 1930.) OF HISTORY Newcomers Into His Circle. GLASS. “NO,” SAID RICHARD, POINTING TO THE THRONE, “NEVER SINCE I SAT IN THAT CHAIR.” Richard Cromwell's drama was not tragedy, but quaint comedy. He was not anxious to succeed his father, Oli- ver, as Lord Protector of England, but| the latter’s followers forced him to do so. He was, of course, a bit tempted | by the glitter of the position, but he would rather have retired to some quiet place and enjoyed good food, good wine and the company of fair women. After less than eight months he decided to do this very thing. To hold his place meant war and bloodshed. thought this completely unnecessary. Upon his accession to his high post he had been deluged with leiters of fulsome flattery and addresses of con- | gratulation from people all over the country, who pledged him “their lives and their fortunes.” When he left Whitehall he packed all these in a| trunk and showed particular anxiety that it should go with him. A friend, asking him why he was so| solicitous about the trunk, he replied, chuckling: “It contains no less than the lives and fortunes of the people.” He seems ever after to have looked upon his tenure as Lord Protector as a huge joke. After a period abroad, en- forced by the fact that he was 30,00 pounds'in debt at home, his affairs grew better, and at the time of the restora- tion of Charles II he was living at Cheshunt under the name of Ricnard Clarke. To keep out of trouble with the various factions he spent his life| in_retirement, admitting to his table| only people of the utmost probity. These had to be cheerful gentlemen and gifted | at conversation or he would have noth- ing of them. A quaint ceremony accompanied the addition of any newcomers to the cir- cle. After an hour or two over the wine, Richard suddenly would get up, take a candle and leave the room.| Understanding what was to happen, the older guests would seize bottles and Richard | glasses and follow, with the new gentle- men bringing up the rear. Directly the whole party would find itself in a dirty | garret containing no article but a small round trunk. Crcmwell would sit astride the trunk and call for a bumper of wine. | “Prosperity to old England!” he would drink. Every one in the company would do the same thing until the newcomer was reached, when Richard would call on him to follow suit. “But sit lightly on that trunk,” he would advise, “for beneath you are no less than the lives and fortunes of all the good people of England.” ‘The trunk would then be opened and the original addresses to Richard Crom- well, the Protector would be produced amid loud laughter. ‘The good soul lived to be 86, and was NEWS! loved and respected by all who knew him. He kept .a kindly, humorous, | fresh outlook until the last. | A pleasant anecdote relates to his old age. He had to go up to London on a legal matter, and sentiment and & feeling of curiosity moved him to visit the scenes of his former elevation. In the House of Lords a man who thought him a mere old sightseeing country gen- tlemen asked: “Did you ever behold such a scene before?” “No,” sald Richard, pointing to the ‘never since I sat in that chair.” (Copyrizht, 1930.) .MOTHERS AND THEIR CIILDREN.

One day I chanced to give him & worn-out alarm clock and he became surprisingly docile, concentrating his at- tention for many hours on taking the parts out of the clock and putting them back in again. He called himself “the clock man * and needed no other amuse- ment.

BEDTIME STORIE Stumps Bumps His Nose. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Some_knowled, att ARd"wisdom often comes with bumpe. " —Young . ‘The young Muskrat who had lost & leg in & trap on the edge of the Laugh- ing Brook had a name. Yes, sir, he a name. He didn't know it, but he had a name just the same. Farmer Brown's Boy had given it to him. He gave it to him the first time he saw him. The 7 name was Stumpy. Farmer Brown's Boy BY THORNTON W. BURGESS had been filled with great pity for that to young Muskrat and with great T at the thought that any one had mfl set traps around the Smiling Pool or along the Laughing Brook. He had searched everywhere for traps, but had failed to find any. This was because the boy who had set them had taken them up after he had found Stump's aw in one. The Smiling Pool and the ughing Brook were once more safe. Never had there been a time when food was so easy to get around the Smiling Pool. You see, Brown's Boy was attending to that matter. Ever since he had first seen Stumpy he had slipped away as often as he could and taken a supply of carrots and apples over to the Smiling Pool. “I've got to make it up to that little sald Parmer fellow in some way,” Brown's Boy, “It can't be as easy for him to get food as it was before he lost that leg. I am afraid that’ he will g0 hungry. T don't see how with only even where the mud is fairly soft. If I leave plenty of carrots and apples around he will get some anyway. Of course, the other Muskrats wiil get most of them, but what if they do? There are more apples this year than any one knows what to do with and I guess we can spare plenty of carrots.” So Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Jerry and those of the children who were pl to spend the Winter in the Smiling Pool or along the Laughing Brook were Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND.
