My Neighbor Says: To renew willow furniture wash it with white soap and water, scrubbing well with a stiff brush. Turnips, if too small to peel and cut up, should be bolled whole in their skins, then the skin can be rubbed off. Small turnips cooked in this way are much sweeter and better flavored and there is no waste.

Did it ev'r occur to you that you sften spend more time in buy.ng some commodity that you need for your | housekeeping enterprise than the total time taken in making the desired com- modity? You want some ribbon, let us say, to match material from which you intend to make a dress and so impor- tant is it that you have the exact match that you go to four or five stores, and spend an hour or more of time, in order to buy ribbon that in the end does not cost more than 30 or 40 cents. Or perh: you want a pajama costume that will be becoming and in good taste and inexpensive and you actually spend a day in looking for it, though in the end you get a very inexpensive outfit costing no more than your time has been worth. Or perhaps you want a lamp shade to go with a standard that you already possess. For a. month every time you go shopping you look around for just the shade you want un- til you finally find one that will do mirably. Of course, you keep no record | of the hours and minutes spent in searching for it, but it would surely be as much time as has been spent in pro- ducing the lamp shade and the raw | materials from which it was made. All of which does not go to show that we spend too much time looking about for precisely what we want, but that | anything we buy that is precisely what | we want, that is not too dear and that | will give good service, is really worth | a good deal more than th: mere price paid. So if your house or apartment is furnished quite inexpensively, but still attractively and practically, you should not figure its value merely in dollars spent to buy the furniture and hang- ings, the books, pictur:s, draperies, etc., but in the thought and time you your- self have spent in selecting these things. | proud to show it. | rather glad to stay et home. Flip Becomes Excited. Excltement lends to life a spice TRALGh the Whote 1s_rathof ’:“fim.,. Flip just loves excitement. There is no doubt about it, he just loves excite- ment. 'The more excitement the hap- pier Flip is. When there is no real ex- citement Flip pretends and usually suc- ceeds in getting himself excited over nothing at all. If he smells a Mouse you would think it was a Bear by the fuss he makes over it. It is all a part of the fun of living. When Farmer Brown's Boy goes for & walk in the Green Forest to get glimpses of the people who live there, he leaves Flip at home, taking Bowser the Hound if he takes any one. Bowser isn't so excitable. Furthermore, that wonderful nose of his is sometimes very useful in finding out where certain Green Forest people have been and even where they are. So many a time Flip has discon- solately watched Farmer Brown's Boy and Bowser start off for the Green Forest while he has had to remain at home. So you can guess how wild with joy Flip was one afternoon when his master took him instead of Bowser. “Flip,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, “I'm going to give you some exercise. That is what I am going for myself, just exercise. We'll take a walk in the Green Forest. Rather, I will. I don't believe you could walk if you tried.” Certainly Flip didn't look at that minute as if he could. He was racing about this way and that way, barking as if trying to bark his head off, while sober old Bowser sat looking on in disapproval at such a lack of dignity. Bowser may have felt hurt at being left behind. It so he was too Truth to tell, he was He had had a long run after Reddy Fox that ming and he was tired “I'm not so young as I used to be.” sighed Bowser as he lay down on the doorstep. And this was quite true. Flip raced away ahead of Farmer Brown's Boy, turning to look back every now and then to make sure his master was_followin, He investigated eve: ATWOOD GRAPEFRUIT Wholesome W.

It was a sort of zame and Farmer Brown's Boy took part by urging him on, just to see how ex- cited Flip could get. “Hunt him out! That's the boy, hunt him out!” Farmer Brown's Boy would urge as Flip would sniff at a little heap of brush. Then Flip would bark and run all around that heap of brush and try to crawl under it and become as excited as if some one was hiding in there, when all the time'there was no | one a: al].

The other barking had been make-believe excite- ment. This was feal excitement. Far- mer Brown’s Boy recognized it at once. He had no doubt at all that Flip had discovered a Rabbit or a Hare. He was barking as if his life depended on fit, and such excitement as there was in it! Farmer Brown’s Boy laughed aloud. Then into Flip's voice crept & new note. His barking sounded even more excited, if that were possible, but there ‘was also & note of fear, or so it seemed to Farmer Brown’s Boy. run in order to see what it was all about. o= -— Grapefruit Stars.
