Then one night as he was shuffling along toward the swamp just above the Smiling Pool to look for a Frog or two, he heard a strange nolse and stopped, for it was coming toward him. The noise was made up of tiny squeaks and growls, With now and then a louder one. In = moment there appeared in a patch of moonlight a queer sight. At first Unc’ Billy was startled. What could such a looking animal be? ““Then he saw a familiar face, the fuce of O Mrs. Possum. If her face was familiar, her form wasn't. Such | o sight as she was!

An argument & year ago had settled | the question of the correctness of the word “cole” slaw. Cole, apparently, was used as the English yersion of the Ger- man word “kohl,” meaning cabbage. It was not meant to be written or pronounced “cold,” even though the slaw was usually a cold one. Lois knew the recipe for the hot slaw and sometimes used it. But her favorite was the uncooked variety. She used to chop the cabbage ex- ceedingly fine. Then to it she would add some heavy cream, about one-halt cup for two cups chopped cabbage. Two teaspoons sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, some pepper went on next. en a quarter cup mild vinegar was added. And the slaw was ready. Occasionally Lois beat the cream and added the vinegar to it, but she could not see that she gained anything—ex- cept additional work—thereby. For an T type of cole slaw she purchased salad dressing. When a bot- 4le of dressing bears the word “salad d g” it is used to designate a cooked dressing in which there is little if any ofl. It is not a mayonnaise when known commercially as a “salad dress- Sometimes she made a hot dressing, cooked the cabbage in it slowly and added a few caraway seeds at the time. But this was not the Thanksgiving or traditional redg. In making this dressing she mixed one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoon= ful mustard, one tablespoonful sugar. this to one-half cup water combined with one-quarter cup vinegar. She cooked this for a few minutes, added a tablespoonful of butter and then the cabbage and caraway seeds and cooked for an hour. Custard With Cake. Beat the yolks of four eggs slightly, add two-thirds cupful of sugar, one- fourth of an orange rind, grated, and the juice of one lemon and -one orange. Cook in a double botler until thick, then in sherbet cups lined with lady-fingers and sprinkle on top some coconut or whipped cream. - % Grease off that Stove! HY, it’s easy! Don’t rub and scrape.

Ask your grocer for THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. HE extreme simplicity of letter forms used by this writer, par- ticularly the “t's” and “V's would lead us to believe her to be of an independent mind, both in dress and manner. She apparently would not be one slavishly to follow current modes of fashions. Rather, she would tend to express something of originality in her choice of clothing. It is possible that she would be suc- cessful in promoting club and organiza- tion projects, where leadership of her type is necessary. Possessing, as she does, apparently, a clear and quick- thinking mind, it is possible that at times she may seem impatient with those associated with her who cannot reach decisions quickly. She perhaps may often tend to be overcritical of little mistakes made by others. This intol- erant spirit has possibly antagonized some persons who might not under- stand the writer's unconscious desire to hold others to a high standard. Seemingly she takes a great interest in books, authors and things literary. The manner in which her words are written, with some letter forms dis- tinctly separated, would lead us to think that she is fond of the more realistic school of novelists. She ap- parently prefers the full flavor of life in her readings, perhaps feeling a bit superior to the more romantic and “Polyanna” type of story. The out-of-doors probably has a great appeal for her. Vigorous sports, such as polo, horseback riding or arch- ery, would afford a safe outlet for ex- pression of her great energy. On the other hand, she should avoid competi- tive sports and games such as tennis, where the contest is likely to be between two individuals. Were she often de- feated in such games, it would under- mine her now fully developed leadership and self-confidence.

And when the frost has nipped the ,trdem‘ when the air has a sting of rost crystals in it. when the leaf has left the tree and the last cricket voice is still, then we find which of the birds that flattered our ears with song In Summer care sufficiently for our soclety to linger with us in the season <f wind and rain and snow. | These are our permanent residents | (as distinguished from Winter visitants | and Summer visitants) ‘and a lovable | lot they are—including, as they do, | many of the universal favorites, one or | to worry over their “complexes,” if such | two of the finest singers, one cr two of the most brilliant birds of plumage. | ‘They will be, tao, sing next Spring. | We say they “come back,” but| actually this is inaccurate in most | cases, The common r:bin, the sweet- | tempered bluebird, the undulant gold- | finch who sings as he flys, the thrill- ' ing, vociferous cardinal bird, the tield sparrow and the Carolina chickadee are not the “first to arrive,” for they have never left us.

IMPORTED CRISPBREAD AT YOUR GROCER'S FEATURES., EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Mental Complexes. 1t used to be supposed that a mental | complex was something to get excited cver. You were advised, by all means, to find vour “complexes” and then get rid of them. That was 10 or 15 years 280, when the Freudian psychology was a popular sort of mythology, character- ized by its abnormality. This attitude has changed a great deal in recent years. It is now recog- nized that one may have all sorts of complexes—strong and weak, good and bad. Very few persons have any need they can be called. A complex is nothing but a tempo- +of ideas which cling together and around some emotion. If you were to get rd of your complexes, you would, by definition "at least, have to be rid of | your entire emotional life. And that | would be a fatal blunder. “Zour notions about the things which | pertain to your feelings are the very notions which give zest to your life and color to your personality. Get rid | of your emotions and you will be un- able to find anything interesting in this world. | (Copyright, 1931.)
