Of course, I don't expect any- of the kind” he replied. “I thought we had enough when we had five, but now we've got almost twice as many. Really. my dear, I don‘t see how we are going to find food enough for so many hungry mouths. The older they get the more those youngsters require, and it seems to me that we are having about all we can do to feed them right now. When I look down into those nine open mouths—and all of them are always open when I bring any food—1I get discouraged.

A big family, and goodness knows we've got a big one this time, means a lot of hard work, but it is so satisfactory. Why, every time I look down at those nine open mouths I'm so préud I don't know what to do. Now, there is Mrs. Hummer the Humming Bird over in the Old Orchard with only two children.

In fact, he has been leading a gay life, ac- cording to all I hear.” “You mustn’t believe all you hear,” d Mrs. Yellow Wing. “If she & real family, I might be sorry for Mrs. Hummer, but with only two to look after she should get along without trouble. Goodnes, I wouldn't know what to do with my time if I had only two to look after. Well, we can't set here gossiping with all those hungry darlings waiting to be fed.” Away they went in quest of food, and all was still in the house in the tele- graph pole. But the instant Yellow Wing, who was first back, alighted at the doorway there was a loud buzzing sound made by nine eager little voices, and when he looked in it was to see nine necks stretched up just as far as possible and nine wide-open mouths. From nine little throats came that same cry, “Me, me, mel” Yellow Wing thrust his bill down one of those little throats, way down. Had you seen him you would have wondered that he didn’t choke that baby. He didn’t however. He was merely making sure that that food was placed where there was no chance that it would be lost. As Yellow Wing left, Mrs. Yellow Wing_arriged. She didn’t ask which one Yellow Wing had just fed. There were nine open mouths, but she made no mistake. The mouth of the one just fed was open, but his throat was not working as the other little throats were, 50 his mother knew that it wasn't his turn. So all day long Yellow Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing worked. When just before dark the babies were fed for the Mrs. Hummer her family of only two, | after all. (Copyright, 1931.) To Keep Silver Clean. At this time of the year when eggs| much, silverware becomes | are used $o badly discolored. A quick way to clean is to put about half a teaspoonful each of salt and baking soda in an aluminum cup filled with hot water and place it near the dishpan. As you wash the silverware, put the pieces that are dis- colored in the cup. By the time you are ready to dry them the stain is gone. ‘This will remove all kinds of stains. No extra time is spent in polishing and the silverware is always clean. Keep an aluminum cup especially for this pur- .

Soak four heaping tablespoonfuls of taploca for four hours in enough cold water to cover well. Drain off all the water that remains, add one quart of sweet milk and a pinch of salt, and cook until the tapioca is clear. Then add the yolks of four eggs, beaten with one cupful of grated maple sugar. Cook it until it is thick. Add one teaspoon- ful of 'vanilla and pour the mixture into baking pan. Cover it with a meringue made from the whites of the eggs and two tablespoonfu's of maple sugar. Brown it and serve cold with plain cream.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. “What percentage of one's income | should be spent for rent? I am & stencgrapher, and earn $30 & week, and two other girls and I are planning to | rent and furnish an apartment, so that we can have a little home of our own. One of the other girls earns $28 and the other $35. How much would you say we could afford for rent?” ‘This from & reader. ‘This is an interesting budget problem which should be carefully thought out. Experts says that we should not spend more than 20 per cent of our income on rent, unless absolutely necessary. As you doubtless want to share expenses equally, you should figure your rent on the basis of the lowest salary. If you do a little figuring, you will see that 20 per cent of an income of three times $28 a week would mean a rent of $873 8 year, or $73 a month. This would mean about $24 each every month.

You should make enough of the icing so that you will have enough for the fill- ing, as well as some plain icing for the top and sides of the cake. (Copyright, 1931) —_— Pastry.

W. B.—Considering your past ill- ness and the fact that you are now in perfect health I most certainly would not advise you to attempt to reduce weight through dieting. Of course, you can go easy on sweets and starches and avold overeating any kind of food. A mere fifteen pounds overweight for a woman of your age is not much, and perhaps with just a little more atten- tion to diet (but with no real reducing program) these extra pounds will gradually disappear. If you feel that you must get rid of this weight, please see a reliable physician before begin- ning to reduce. Miss R.

It tells you in detail how to give your hair a finger wavs or water wave and also what care is neces- sary to keep a permanent wave attrac- tive and manageable.
