MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1932, WASHINGTON, D. C. ]DorothyDixl A CORRESPONDENT asks me how she can be happy in & world that is full of troubles and tribulations and anxieties and disappointments. No one can answer that question, because no human being has ever achieved perfect happiness. There is always a cloud somewhere on the horizon, always a fly in the ointment, always a little discordant note somewhere in the harmony, always something we would have different.

Such a spread protects the blankets during the time when they are in use.! It is an ornamental substitute for the oversheet. Useful as this oversheet is, it makes no pretense of being any- thing but a utilitarian cover. The night spread, while costing little, # any, more, can lay claim to a certain | amount of ornament. This may be in| the color, in the center embroidery Initia's or monogram, or in other deco- | ration in applique or stitchery. It may | be that both color and such decoration lend beauty to the spread. Or still an- other feature can be introduced in the way of large scalloped edges bound in| the self-tone of the spread itself or in | some contrasting color found in the| embroidery. ‘These spreads are made of crinkly eofton crepe, or silk crepe of this same sort. ‘The latter is an inexpensive type of crepe with a fine sheen and silky| softness due to the amount of silk in| the textile. But it is chiefly of crinkly cotton crepe that these spreads are made. They launder beautifully and require no ironing.

The little peculiarities of those with whom we live can either run us mad or be an endiess source of amusement. INJOY what you have, and do it now.

(TO BE CONTINUED ON WEDNESDAY.) (Copyright, 1932.) Tapper's Disappointment. Be not too sure of what you've got Lest disappointment be your lot —Tapper the Sapsucker, APPER THE SAPSUCKER was | in high spirits. He was back in the Green Forest and he felt that that was enough to put any one in high spirits. Fur- thermore, the sap was running, al- ready he had tapped a maple tree and he was sure that when he returned to it he would find each of those little holes filled with sweet sap, the very thought of which made his mouth water He first flew to his old home, in a big dead branch of a certain big tree in the Green Forest. He and Mrs. Tapper had cu. that hole there last Spring and it had occurred to him that it would be just the place to spend his nights now. They still were cold and a snug, warm house such as that would be just the place to sleep in real comfort. He alighted on that branch a little below the doorway and at once his sharp eyes noticed that it was bigger than when he had last seen it. Then it had been just large enough for him to squeeze through. Now it.was so large that he wouldn't have to squeeze at all “Somebody has been using that house of mine and has made the doorway big- ger.” thought he. “I wonder who it is. Well, if they are not living there now it won’t matter.” He climbed up and poked his head inside. Then he pulled it out in & hyrry. That house was occupied! “Go away,” said a sleepy voice. He knew that voice. It was the voice of Timmy the Flying Squirrel. “What are you doing in my house?" he demanded angrily. “I don’t know who you are, but who- ever you are, you're mistaken. This is oy house,” replied Timmy, still in a py voice. 0 such thing!” retorted Tapper, and his voice was more angry than before. “I cut this house with my own bill and if it doesn"t belong to me, I would like to know the reason why. “Because it belongs to me,” replied Timmy, and the sleepy note had gone from his voice. Instead there was an angry note in it. “You went off and left it, so I took it, and now it is mine. What are you going to do about it? “I'm going to drive you out of there! declared Tapper angrily. “Try it. Just try it,” retorted Ttmmy. and his voice sounded just as angr: “I have lived here all Winter. It suits me and here I am going to stay. If| you think you can drive me out, just | try it. This was your house, but when you left it, it was free to any one. Now it is mine, so just try to drive me out!” Tapper knew when he was beaten. | He knew that, try as he might, he couldn’t drive Timmy out of that snug kome and it would be useless to try. oreover, he knew that Timmy was right. He knew that that house, hav- ing been empty, Timmy had a perfect right to move in, so he got what satis- faction he could by beating a sharp rat- a-tat-tat on the outside and flew away to look for some other place wherein o | spend the cold nights. | He found another old house he had | helped make long ago, and this was | empty. He inspected it and decided that it would do. By that time he felt better, so he flew over to his favorite drumming limb and drummed for a while, When he grew tired of this, he decided that those holes he had drilled in the maple must be filled with sap. “T'll have a feast on that and then I | will do some more tapping, so as to be | sure of having plenty of sap whenever | dering?

By Thornton . Burgess. “SOMEBODY HAS BEEN USING THAT HOUSE OF MINE AND HAS MADE THE DOORWAY BIGGER,” THOUGHT HE. I want it,” said he as he flew to the big maple tree. But when he got there, such a disap- pointment as Tapper had! There was only, a wee bit of sap in those holes. They were practically empty. That was bad enough, but what was worse was | the certainty that they had been filled and some one else had stolen the sap. (Copyright, 1932) Tenderloin Roast. Have two pounds of beef tenderloin larded with strips of suet. Wipe the meat. Pour over it the juice of half a | lemon and rub the meat with garlic. Roast the meat uncovered for 30 min- utes, basting every 5 minutes with its own drippings. Do not turn the meat. ‘When finished season with salt, pepper and paprika. Slice into inch slices and serve piping hot. Presh mushrooms may be added to the pan the last 8 minutes. ‘Every Week Hashed Brown Potatoes. Combine four cupfuls of finely chop- ped potatoes with two tablespoonfuls of chopped onion, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Melt two tablespoonfuls of fat in a sinooth heavy skillet, add one-fourth cupful of hot water, put the potatoes in a thin, even layer and cook slowly until a golden brown crust is formed. Fold the potatoes over like an omelet, turn out onto a hot platter, garnish with parsiey and serve at once. To Clean Slippers.
