Variety in School Lunches BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Most_school children ‘take some sort of lunch to school. The lunch may be ® simple one to satisfy hunger before the noonday weal at home, or it may be a light luncheon that must suffice until the evening repast, or at least I~29 A LEG OF CHICKEN TO PICK IS WELCOME IN THE LUNCH BOX. until the child can get home and have a midafternoon meal. Therefore, in homes where there are children of school age it becomes something of a BEDTIME STORIE New Thrill. There's nothing harder than s In momentis that are strained a —Farmer Brown Farmer Brown'’s Boy sighed with' re- lief when Whistler-the Marmot darted under a rock just in time to escape Talons the Eagle. It was # narrow escape and only the quick wit of Whistler had made it possible. Had he attempted to get back in the hole from which he had come, Talons would have caught him. Talons awkwardly hopped over to the rock under which Whistler had found refuge, saw that there was no chance of getting him out, and with a scream of disappointment flew away. Farmer Brown's Boy could hear ‘Whistler scolding angrily. Presently he poked his head out, saw that the way was clear, and scrambled up to his favorite rock, where he sat up and looked carefully in all directions. ‘Talons was flying off and already was | & mere speck in the sky. Saticfied that all was well at' last, Whistler jum, down and went to finish his Tupted dinner. He had just finished when once more the alarm signal from his nearest neighbor on the distant rock slide TALONS WAS FLYING OFF AND ALREADY WAS A MERE SPECK IN THE SKY. sounded. Whistler scrambled to his lookout and gazed jacross. At once he became tremendously excited. Shuf- fling along there in a leisurely man- ner was a big Brown Bear. For the second tme that morning he felt a thrill run all over him. He quite for- g0t Whistler until a shrill whistle from Lnr-\w roblem to prepare for five-days-a-week Rineres. It is well to have a plan for these little meals when they must take the form of the noonday ‘repast. There should be a hearty food, a relish and a cessert, or what corresponds to it. A little fruit is welcome, and every child | delights in at least one piece of candy. Just what shall make up the hearty | item depends somewhat upon the age ! ofrthe child as well as upon his or her | preferences. Some children delight in | sandwiches, while others do not care | much for them. Fortunately, most of them are satisfied with the sandwiches, proviced they are hearty and plentiful. Substitutes for sandwiches are wel- come at times and form variety. For example, a meat pie will tempt, or an | Individua! ramekin of meat and rice, | or rice, cheese, sweet pepper and a bit | of pimento. Occasionally a croguette | or & baked white potato stuffed with the | mashed white mixed with cooked | chopped meat or bacon. ~Hard-boiled eggs will pall if put in the lunch box often unless the yellow is dressed. Mix melted butter, a few drops of lemon Juice, salt and chper with the mashed yolks and press back into the halved white. When sliced meat forms the | filling for sandwiches a relish is par- ticularly welcome. Children’s appetites for relishes vary | decidedly, so this has to be taken into consideration when putting relishes with lunches. For example, few little 1 folk like olives; some do, however. Dill | pickles are fancied by some, while | others like sour piekles. When there i is_chicken to put in the box do mot i take it from the bone, but put a leg, a wing or some cther portion in as it is and let the child hate the fun of pick- ing the bone. Fruit and 2 bit of candy makes a dessert that most children like, also cookies and cake. [Even jelly sand- wiches can form this sweet portion of the meal. especially if a plece of fruit supplements it. Dates d figs are wholesome fruits not always in lunch- |eon plans. A slice of pineapple be- | tween two sponge cookies is delicious. | It is very important to have lunches | vary from day to day as much as possi- Ihlt‘ because the mixed diet is now | agreed upon es the one on which per- | sons thrive b~ “. It certainly tempts | the appetite most. i (Copyrizht, 1931) | Clear Soup.

Whistler was so_excited that he couldn't sit still. He watched every move that the Bear made and talked to himself in an angry undertone. It was plain that he was anxious as well as excited. The air was so clear that the distant rock slide seemed much nearer than it was. Of course this was equally true of the big Brown Bear. His every | move could be seen plainly. Presently Whistler became more ex- cited than ever. He could scarcely contain himself. The Bear had stopped and to pull stones and rocks aside. He dfd it in an unhurried manner, but with a purpose that even at that distance was quite evident. His great strength enabled him to pull aside rocks that Farmer Brown's Boy couldn't have moved. Some of these rolled down the slide and smaller stones flew out in all directions. | _ Whistler knew vhat it meant, but for a time Farmer Brown's Boy didn't understand what that Bear was doing all that hard work for. Then it came him. “He is after that other Marmot! He is trying to dig him out!” he exclaimed | under his breath. ‘This was even more thrilling than | the attempt of Talons the Eagle to catch Whistler. The stones flew and rocks rattled down the slide. Farmer Brown's Boy could picture to himself that frightened Marmot trapped in his home among the rocks and waiting helplessly as it was torn open. In a short tim a big hole had been dug. Then the Bear stopped digging and reached in with a big paw. He was back to Farmer Brown's Boy and the latter couldn’t see just what the Bear was doing. Presently he backed away and sat down, swaying a bit from side to side and apparently enjoying tec scenery, He sat there for some | time before he once more got to his | feet and wittout so much as a glance | 2t the hole he had dug shuffied across | the slide and finally disappeared down | the _slope. “I suspect he got that Marmot,” | muttered Farmer Brown's Boy a bit | eadly. “I suppose it wes all right, but tomehow I hate to think that any one |can’t be safe right in his own home.” Just then Whistler from his rock whistled sharply. From the distant slide came a faint response. Whistler heard it and there was a look of satis- faction on his face. Farmer Brown': Boy heard it, too His face brightened “That Beer didn't get him after all!” he exclaimed aloud, fergett/ng Whist'er And then he wondered whet could have !Pn; Whistler scurrying for his home so0 fast.

They are very imperfectly formed, almost as though the writer considered them unnecessary. This suggests that she may be of a ve impractical type. She possibly plans and dreams of the impossible. The almost complete absence of be- ginning strokes indicates a well trained, keen intelligence. She is probably an acourate thinker about abstract things, fajling only in applying this clear- mindedness to her own life. It may be that teaching would ap- peal to her. . Here her good intellect would be of value. Her imagination would be of assistance, particularly in desling with younger children. The entire writing suggests a hasty, possibly impulsive person. Some of the lines are vertical, some slanting to the left, egain indicating an impulsive na- ture. She may occasionally act fool- iehly on impulse, the more restrained side of her nature later regretting her actions, She would seem to enjoy her pleas- ures to the utmost. Gayety would be more in accord with her nature than sedateness. Dancing possibly has great appeal for her. In this she might ex- press her more frivolous nature, afford- ing a means of self-expression. Her originality and imagination, with an apparent grace of movement, should help make her a true artist. Her friends probably find her a charming and entertaining companion. Inherent good taste would seem to regulate her life, leading her to eon- sider others before herself.

She came to mean nothing to him but work, and he got to dread her and be afraid of her and of her reproaches and criticisms and her com- parisons of him and other musicians and what they were doing, and at last she killed his affection for her and he forsook her for a woman who was content to let him be as he was. Ambitious Wife Who Alienated Her Husband. D!AE Miss Dix: I have been married about 10 years. My husband and I had little with which to start, but by hard work and frugality have accumulated a nice little fortune. I have been the ambitious one in respect to forging ahead in new enterprises, but my husband has co-operated I overworked and was very nervous and sensi- tive and cried a great deal, which must have been trying to my hurband, make him perfect, and so I_was always telling him of things that he is that I realize now I have lost his love and we have talked about divorce, but when it comes to the point of dividing our household equipment we both break down. All of our mutual friends tell my husband that he doesn’t appreciate his wife's capabilities. friends who throw your ability in your husband’s teeth. That is the main reason why he has lost his taste for you. with a man by telling him what a smart wife he has and how much she has boosted him up is such an idiot that he should be clapped forthwith into an asylum for the incurably feeble-minded and locked up so that he praise his wife for her beauty; that He likes to have you praise her for belng a good cook and a good wife and motter because those arc the traditional merits of the virtuous female. But beyond that be chary. he owes to his wife, unless you want to be first ald i> = divorce in that Once upon a time I knew a young couple who were most remantically in love and ideally happy when they were first married. The man was a brilliant and talented musician, who was just beginning to be recognized, and his wife was obsessed with an ambition for him to have a great career. Also, because I loved him. I tried to to separate him from his friends and didn’t like. The result of all of this ‘What do you advise to do? begin with V. is to try to choke off your indiscreet us R.

That Is a Men get plenty of hard knocks in the outside world without having a hammer wielder at home, and so the wise woman is she who takes her husband “as is” and lets it go at that. But as there is no other woman in the case, I think you have a fine chance of winning your husband back if you will quit being a female Simon Legree and not drive him too hard, and if you will resign the role of being a critic on the hearth.

At | other times he sits at his desk on the | floor, apparently absorbed in a stack of papers before him and completely ig- noring Harrison’s thrusts.

(2) Is there any homemade preparation that I could use to stop or lessen per- spiration on my face? MARY J. Answer—(1) You may use several layers of gauze and bind them nrmly over the throat. The ends of the strips may be slit so that they may be tied at the back of the neck and also at the crown of the head. Moisten the band- age with a mild astringent lotion such as witch-hazel and apply it to the throat for half an hour or so after cleansing and massaging your face, throat and neck. To prevent a double chin, however, you need to practice correct ure when sitting, standing or walking. Take neck-bending exer- cises for several minutes every night and morning, such as the following: Stand before an open window.
