Now, Fatty had a huge appetite. And as the day wore on he began to fear that he wouldn’t get enough to eat at Uncle Sammy's place. So he set to work and gathered up a bag- ful of corn, which he found down near Farmer Green's corncrib. When the dinner hour arrived, down at Uncle Sammy's eating house bLeside Black Creek, Fatty stepped through the doorway with his bag slung over his shoulder “I'm glad to see you!"

Fatty warned him. “What's in it?" Uncle ed. “Corn!"” said Fatty. “Don't worry! I'll take good of it,” Uncle Sammy promised “Now bring on your dinner!" Fatty ordered. Uncle Sammy began to bustle about. And soon he set a dish in front of Fatty. “The first course is corn,” nounced with a smirk Fatty Coon was pleased. He liked corn. Quickly he ate every kernel. “Next course!" he bawled. Uncle Sammy snatched away the empty dish and hurried out of the room, to return shortly with the same dish, which he set down as before. “This course is corn,” he said glib- 1y. Well, Fatty thought that was a hit odd. But he liked corn.. So he ate what was in the dish and said noth- ing, until he had finished it. Then he called loudly, “Next course!"

Add milk and flour sifted with soda, cream tarter, salt and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly, and add from one-half to one cup flour or sufficlent flour to make a stiff dough which will drop from the spoon. Place in ice box or in a cold place over night or for several hours. Roll, cut and fry. Many cooks find it difficult to make doughnuts which, if they keep their ghape when cut are too stiff. The housekeeper who gives this recipe makes the best tasting and best keeping doughnuts the writer has ever eaten, She attributes her suc- cess to the small amount of flour used and the standing for a long enough time to make it possible to handle a soft dough.

A wide band of rhinestones makes an effective girdle for a frock of sil- ver lace, combined with pale gray crepe. The relieving bit of color is supplied by a flame-colored fan. Ermine And Velvet. A short coat of ermine, with wide, flowing sleeves is worn with a black velvet skirt with ermine tails out- lining the pocket. This makes an unusually quaint and picturesque costume, Wooden Beads. Wooden beads are used ext sively on this season’'s garments— one of the most original uses is on winter coats, where they are ar- ranged with mathematical precision about an inch apart over the entire surface. Marriage a La Mode. In Germany among the poorer classes if one cannot give a wedding gift to the bride one offers to pay for his own food at the nuptial feast. Sometimes the ceremonies last sev- eral days, during which all guests re- main at the bride's home. As the bride leaves a pitcher of water at each door in the morning it is customary for the guest to drop in a coin for her. It You Are Well Bred.
