We on can nmake a great noise, as you have said." an "But that does not make you the to best singers in the world." replied the mt Toad. "DI1d you never hen. the birds singing in the trees, silly creature?" "WHhy should I listen to the birds when I can slug better than they do?" ces asked the Cricket. "Just listen now. ns- Our family are tuning up and I am c-. sure birds could not sing louder." ac- "If you would take the trouble to n- listen some time when the birds are I am singing in the daytime I am sure you his would not be so vain." said the Toad. la- "Ah. there you are!" exclaimed the Cricket. "In the daytime you say; why do the birds not sing at night I ask you, my friend? I will tell you: of because they dare not compare voices dy with my family; that is why. We can outsing them and they do not wish to let everyone know that the Crickets have the best voices." "If you would come out in the day ria time and sing," said the Toad. "I am sure you would have to agree with me that the birds. can sing louder and es- more sweetly than your family. I the think yop ate the ones who are afraid or- to have a contest, not the birds." ar "Not at all," said the Cricket, "but she why should we come out in the sun lot light when we much prefer the night time to be abroad? We know that our Ida family sings better than any other in In ve' ew he Id-1 id; the world. Let the birds, if they doubt ed this. come out at night and sing with ch- as." led "You are a silly and conceited lUttle Led creature." said the Toad, hopping away, for it was almost daylight by this time. he- "You awoke me from my morning of nap with your Silly chirping," said a ed big Robin flying down from his home e- in the branches of the tree.

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE .t .I II_ It- WHEN YOU EAT FRUIT. I ar 1 in Remember thls-that there is a proper dgnity and proposltion to be observed in the performance of every act of life. Marcus Aurelius. IN THE formal, many-course dinner a fruit course usually follows the I sweets and cheese, directly preced- I ing the coffee. In many families fresh fruit is always served at dinner fol- I lowing the dessert. The decorative value of fresh fruit served in this way has, no doubt. had something to do with the establishment of this course in the dinner menu. But there are not a few good' folk who always dle dine the course because they reasUlly bt don't know Just how to eat it. Oh. to 4 th be sure they can eat orangep and ap ples and bananas and grapes, but they tie are not at all sure whether they eat ng them in the right way. For eating by fresh fruit at a picnic or as a be- I tween-meal is one thing, and eating It i ag at a dinner is another. The Idea is, a however, always to serve it In its nat ne ural form. To serve the oranges all peeled and sliced would indeed be a • an mistake on the part of the one who "What's in a Name?"

The mu sic of its syllables proved irresistible to many countries and in modern ne times it lost its Spanish heritage and ay came to be as American as Anne or ka Edith. v& Juanita means "grace of the Lord." It comes originally from the same ed source as John. It was probably in tie honor of St. John the Evangelist's ry guardianship of the Blessed Virgin in, that her name became joined with his. da In the Fifth century a Giovanni va (John) Maria Visconti of Milan ap pears and straightway Juan Maria Ila became a popular name in Spain. lie By adding a final "a." the feminine ra- Juana was formed, a name which lit proved more acceptable than the mas da culine Juan as a preface to Marin, [or and so'n Maria was dropped entirely ly and Juana became a separate name. Spain is fond of endearments and di re. minutives, as Rosita and Carmencita tie and scores of other names prove, so ow presently the ever-popular Juanita ay was evolved. Many famous women of ier Spain bore the name, among them a rta queen, who was known as Juana la Loca. Her reign in Castille was an et- unfortunate and distressing period. da It may be that the Spanish infiu sh ence in the Southwestern states red brought Juanita into vogue in this ts country, or her fame, according to some, may have been established by en the country-wide vogue of the old ble song with which even the present gen pa eratlon is familiar. Who does not re ae member: ad "Jusaita ask thy mol If we dsould part!" ch Juanita's talmanicle gem is the ire er opal That gem fa sunny Spain prom us Ies her protection from evil spirits, ta. good health and happiness.

To serve the bananas sliced would be just as grave an error. But really it is no very difficult tast to eat whole fruit as it should be eaten at dinner. This becomes com paratively easy at tables where the English custom of serving a fruit knife and fork is followed. The banana should first be peeled. Morsels should then be cut by means of the knife and eaten with the fork. Do not cut it all at once. The bbst way to eat an apple at the dinner table is to cut it in quarters with the knife, handling it as little as possible. and then to pare the skin from each quarter and to core it as required. There is quite a knack In doing this without taking the apple up into the hands any more than nec essary. Pears are eaten in much the same manner and so are peaches and plums. but the considerate hostess does not serve these fruits when they are so juicy and over-ripe as to be difficult to manage. Many persons would not serve oranges at all for dinner, but instead tangerines that can be managed more gracefully. Tangerines may be peeled and then broken into sections, the seeds being removed by means of the knife before taking them In the fin gers to eat. Orange skins should be removed by holding the orange firmly on the plate with the fork and then cutting off the skin by means of the knife. After this morsels of the orange may be cut from the core by means of the knife and fork and the pieces conveyed to the mouth by the fork. Needless to say, this is more easily accomplished when the oranges are firm and not extremely juicy. So the wise hostess selects California oranges for dinner, though she may prefer those deliclous Florida oranges when they are to be eaten with a spoon for breakfast. You may have your own pet way of eating grapes, but there is only one right way-that is, according to the. accepted usage. They should be eaten by means of the fingers of the right hand, the stones should then be dropped into the left hand inconspl cuonsly and thence conveyed to the fruit plate. Cherries should be man aged lh the same way. (Copyright.) A LINE 0' CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs THE THING THAT COUNTS. PERHAPS my tfae sad figure Are neither things of beau ty rare.
