Adults do not hesi- | tate to take appetizers before meals, | although children are not supposed to need them There are persons who cannot eat enough at any one time to preserve their strength for the hours intervening between meal hours, These who are usually little children, invalids or semi-invalids, should have midmeals. They do not require the food just prior to & mealtime, but at stated intervals between such times. The midmeal may be practically as hearty as the regular meal, or it may be just a very light lunch, In America, where the air is more tries, these midmeals are not scheduled regularly in a household many countries, however, where a mid morning bowl of soup or a cup of coffee is the expected thing and where after- noon tea is practically a necessity Where the dinner is set at a late hour and luncheon comes early, the afternoon tea habit is worth forming. The tea shculd not be too near the ainner hour, nor shou!d it be hearty that it spoils the appetite. Tea is a very mild stimulant, and the bread and butter, crackers or little cake taken | with it supplies food to supplement the liquid. For busy homema afternoon tea is recommended. | LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Trubbles for Everybody. Act 1. Scene, & young fly crawling on a wall Fly.

It was there that Little Joe Otter had made his slippery slide down the steep bank. Old Man Coyote approached it slowly and care- fully.

Then he stole forward, sneaking from one tree to another, all the time trying | to keep out of sight of Little Joe Otter, | should he be there. “Ha!” exclaimed Old Man Coyote un- der his breath as a Merry Little Breeze tickled his nose with a warm scent that could mean but one thing—that Little Joe was there.
