Black Pussy the Cat, sitting at the foot of the telegraph pole in front of Farmer Brown’s house and looking up with a pleased grin on her face as she listened to amwodd buzzing sound that seemed to come from that pole, was in her already breakfasting on young Flickers. That wes why she was grinning. She knew what caused that buzzing sound. She had heard it in other . She kney that it was caused by a family of hungry baby Flickers. It was not always to be heard. When mother and father were away hunting food all would be still. The instant one of them alighted on the pole the buzzing would begin. Black Pussy was just about to climb up to that round doorway when she saw Parmer Brown’s Boy coming that NANCY PAGE Claire Learns Modern House- eleaning Methods BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘When Claire was g for her m she promised clean her room 1f.

Fine enamel woodwork is expensive {in the first place and needs great care afterward. We may wash it with a soapsuds made of linseed oil soap dis- !solved in warm water. ¢ We may use something as fine as silver polish paste. Frequently I have used the paste. Put some of it on ‘a soft cloth and then rub the woodwork with that, following its rubbing with a damp cloth wrung out of clear, warm water. Claire protected her hands with rub- | ber gloves. She was careful not to get any moisture on the wall paper. In some cases her mother advised using a plece of heavy cardboard, holding it close to the woodwork so that it cov- ered the nearby paper. In this fashion the paper was rot spotted or smeared. All of Claire’s hopes of using the scrubbing brush vanished, although her mother told her she could scrub the floor & bit later. She said that a scrub- bing brush was often used in cleaning a solled rug. A heavy lather of white soap and water—a lather as heavy as that used for shaving—is made. The rug is freed from dust, spread on a flat surface. ‘Then the brush is used to spread the suds on a small patch of rug. After brushing firmly, the lather is wiped off with a sponge wrung out of clear, warm water. This water must be renewed frequently. (Copyrisht. 1931.) Sharaceiu ceful. queer.

It meant that you were lazy and shiftless, because otherwise you could always have found plenty of work todo. Slowly the country grew up. Houses were bullt, the mines were rer, the {lands were taken up. Machinery was improved so that one man could do the work of 20 men.

And so today there isn't |enough work for all the people who want it. ‘To be out of work no longer means | that you are shiftless and lazy. It's no | longer a reflection on you.

He saw her, how- ever. “So Black Pussy has discovered that nest of Mr. and Mrs. Yellow Wing," said he to himself. “I shall have to keep an eye on her. I wonder if those eggs have hatched yet.” He walked over to the pole and struck it sharply a couple of times. In- stantly that buzzsing sound began. Farmer Brown's Boy smiled. “I thought it was about time,” said he. mudfi by the sound there is quite a fi ly there. Yes, sir, there is quite a family.” He looked all about for Black Pussy, but could see nothing of her, for she was taking pains to keep out of sight. He looked up at the round doorway to the Flicker home. “That is pretty high up for Black Pussy. I doubt if shel try climbing to it,” he muttered. “Still, Tl keep an eye on her. The greatest danger will come when - sters come out to try their wings.” No sooner had Farmer Brown's Boy disappeared than Black Pussy was back at the foot of that telegraph pole, her tall twitching and an eager, hungry gleam in her eyes. Both Yellow Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing were away hunt- k Pussy knew this, for hastily all about. watching her. Then she started up that pole. ‘The instant she began to climb that buzzing sound started. The bigher she got the louder it grew. You see, those babies heard the sound of her claws on the wood. Of course, they didn't know that that sound was mede by an enemy. To them it meant father or mother bringing food. Black Pussy was grinning again. “I hope that hole isn't s0 deep that ‘I camnot - reach those youngsters,” thought she. “It must have been bet- ter to have waited until they were b ger. Well, if I can’t reach them this time.I'Nl try again.

She couldn’t dodge around the pole after the manner of Happy Jack Squir- |rel. At first she decided to, on and get at least one of those bables, but quickly gave up that idea. Then she began to back down. It was slow |work and the sharp bills of Yellow | Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing struck her | 80 often that the air seemed too full of ;hl;p bills. They hurt. Yes, sir, they urt. Half way down she could stand no more. She simply let go and dropped. (Copyrigbt, 1931.) FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. Vegetable Courses. | It is a French trick to serve one vege- |table at a time, making an entire course of it at luncheon or dinner. We Americans, of course, frequently serve a simple salad as a separate course, but we would seldom think of serving green peas or carrots or parsnips or green corn as a courss by Lflem&elv& Perhaps it all seems rather foolish to t you—this continental habit of eating a ‘ve(etable by itself. One reason that | they do it in Prance is, of course, be- | cause they are and have had to be a very economical race. They must get | the most out of all the food they have | at_their disposal. They cannot be so | prodigal as we, and they are naturally | very discriminating of fine flavor. Sometimes the vegetable course is served before the meat course and sometimes after. You may have heard | of the trick of serving an egg, poached | or scrambled, as an entire course at a smart luncheon or dinner. It seemed a bit surprising, and yet served that way | it was delicious. | Creamed asparagus on toast is a vege- | table tI is hard to serve on the plate with meat, and possibly vegetables be- | sides, and it is difficult to accommodate p'ate containing the asparagus be- side the large dinner plate. A much simpler plan is to serve yopr as| casier to serve it piping hot when scrved as a separate course than when served with the main course. Fried parsnips, if you like, with rashers of well fried bacon, may be served alone as an entree. Spinach with croutons is served as a | separate course by French housewives. | If 'you like, you may add slices of hard- | cooked eggs.

What a word! is it, and what of it? . Neurasthenia is just another word for nervousness, and nervousness can | mean a Jot of things. Sometimes, in fact usually, the suf- ferer complains of queer bodily sensa- | tions. But these sensations are often | substitutes for something else. Visions | of failure, lack of pep, absence of in- terest or other what-nots in the realm | of mind. ‘There is such a thing as fighting so long with conflicting problems and dis- | appointments that one actually be- comes tired. When a person loses | interest in the outside world, he begins to be serious about his inside world. It is then that the physical symptoms set in. Naturally if you have nothing else to do but think about yourself, you will begin to get interested in the physi- ological processes which under ordinary conditions you would never notice. So some may have a neurasthenic heart, others a neurasthenic stomach, still others find something wrong with the breathing deflexes. Fainting spells, dyspepsia, and feelings of suffocation are their respective by-products. What of it? Train yourself to keep out of unsolvable perplexities about your social status, your intellectual acumen. Beware oi vaulting ambitions. Take no account of idle gossip. When your day's work is done, find some in- vigorating pastime. Take a walk and formulate a philosophy of life. even if you sre forced to change that phi- losophy tomorrow. (Copyrisht, 1931.)

Then put them in a boiler with pleces of soap and a tea- spoonful of powdered borax and boil 20 minutes. Rinse, then let them lie for another night in clean cold water, to which a little powdered borax has been added. This will bleach clothes.

Walnut was the most usual wood of | cul that period. ‘The Queen Anne furniture char- acteristic best remembered is the grace- fully surved legs of chairs, tables, desks. Lacquer, marquetry and petit point embroidered upholstery were much used in the 12 years of this Queen’s reign by the furniture makers. Rush-bottom chairs date from this pe- riod, and many of the claw-and-ball feet of chairs and tables, too, bear this date. “Please tell me how to make cereal muffins,” writes a reader. “I mean muffing which left-over cereal is tablespoonfuls melter butter.
