♦WOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUOGESTIONS FOR HOMEMAKER^ ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTOW_ “Hen Bunny's Letter” Now this was the letter that Ben Bunny had written to Mr. Sprinkle Blow, the fairy Weatherman. Nick opened it and read it out loud. It said: |j "Bear Mr. Sprinkle Blow: "Would you please mind sending jmjkme real good growing weather? Mr. f •-«un has been nice ever since farmer Smith sowed his seeds in the sas» , patch garden, and he means well. ' but he's taken every speck of damp ness out of the ground, and the seeds can't grow at all. Worst of anything, though, the breeze comes glong and sees the dry little seeds lying on the ground like pepper, and blows them all away. You know bow little lettuce seeds are and car rot seeds, too—They’re about the lit tlest of any—and so they blow away the quickest and the farthest. And they are the things that I like the ibest.

Kitchen Hints Tempting Menus Fireproof earthenware casseroles are found in too few kitchens. The cheaper cuts of meat may be cooked in a casserole in such-a way that the most fastidious hostess need have no compunction at serving them.

In some manner the mea dows became on fire and tho lire was spreading rapidly. Passing au tumobllists paused long enough to carry a few buckets of water and by working fast were able to prevent the fire from spreading. Whilo crossing the county bridge yesterday afternoon a jitney bus narrowly escaped going overboard. The bus was going at a fairly good rate of speed when it struck a loose plank In the bridge. The plank flew up in the air and in some manner made the driver lose control of the machine for just an instant. He was quick to recover, however, and the machine proceeded as before. Mrs. Henry T.

At the roadhouse we ordered some "soft” drinks—we could have got ten anything that we were willing to pay for—and then I showed Edith the letter I had written to ! her father. She made a few suggestions and j appeared very confident that I would I land the job. The "roadhouse” was beautifully decorated and furnished. Except that you had to take a long automo bile ride to get here it did not differ very much from similar restaurants in the city. The music was fair and the dancing extreme. Nor was there anything to dis tinguish this roadhouse from a score or more of other establishments on the outskirts of the city, but this sea son it was "the thing" to go to this particular place. We had been in the restaurant about half an hour when a foreign looking person strolled up to our table. Edith gave a quick start and then greeted him very cordially. It appeared to me that George did not seem so glad to see hint. The stranger was Introduced to Dot and me as Mr. Salter. Edith immediately began to ask him a great many questions—when he had returned from abroad, why he hadn’t let her know he was in town, what his plans were, etc. George listened in dismal silence. He had taken one look at the man when the latter approached our table and that one look had evidently been enough. Salter? Salter? ... I tried to place the name. Then I remember ed hearing something about a man with a name like that who had caus ed some trouble between Edith and George. 1 glanced at the man at cur table. He was a.thiu. waspish-look ing chap, black hair, black eyes, black mustache twisted into sharp points. I didn’t think much of Edith’s taste. baiter left us for a moment to nake his excuses to his friends and lien returned to our table. He seemed completely at his ease and ( tuietly ignored (lie fact that George ivoided speaking to him. He ad Iressed most of his remarks to Edith ilthough lie occasionally included Dot or me in the conversation. from the casual way in which he ihatted one would have believed that tie was on intimate terms with most if the crowned heads of Europe and never spoke to anyone below a duke n rank. However, I had met that kind before and promptly put him Sow n as a first rate bluff. I tried to open a conversation with George about the baseball race, but it was hard to make any pro gress against the current of chatter that came from Edith and Salter, rhe latter was explaining to Edith why a royal engagement had been broken off and, although I heard only flashes of the story, it seemed to me that he was hinting he had been partly responsible. When the time came to leave Edith insisted on Salter driving back with us. He was given the seat be side her that I had occupied on the ride out while I was squeezed in with Dot and George on a seat that was meant for only two. (To Be Continued) (Copyright. 1921, N. E. A).

Indeed the lovely blue silk t'rock with its chiffon collar and cuffs worn by Betty Carpenter in Paramount pictures wouldn't bo very serviceable for a woman with a hoe. Shirred baby ribbons which form flower rosettes decorate the skirt. The burnt orange hat, matching the collar and flowers on the frock, is trimmed with lilies of the valley. The attractive peasant’s bodice is in high favor this summer. Editorials For Women Polks "Well, it was only a dog," said the rather pretty woman. Then she went on telling her little son that he "mustn't do that again.” And the soft-bodied, little brown furred puppy lay in a limp heap where the child had thrown it. It's head had struck a sharp stone. "Only a dog,” but it was a* living thing and the possessor of something which must be vory much like a soul, if actions count. And some day. the little boy grown tall will get angry again and then his mother may not say "only a dog.” For every child who can be cruel to little dogs, there is, later, someone who can bo cruel to human beings. It was in Kentucky, along the rugged bunks of Knob Creek, that a littio pup was kicked over a ledge and fell bruised and bleeding on the stone below. And according to Aus tin Gollaher. the boyhood triend of Abraham Lincoln and the narrator in J. Rogers Gore's book on Lin coln's childhood, it was that pup which Lincoln found and nursed back to health, on which he depend ed most for companionship. Wherever the tall gaunt lad was seen. Honey with the twisted foot was to be found. On his long, silent rambles through Kentucky wood lands. Honey was his understanding friend, and it was Honey who brought rescuers when, one day, the boy became wedged between two boulders, unable to get away. For every child who learns to know and love animals there is a man or woman with a certain big ness and fineness at heart.

Mr. Nardonaki made some excuse about trying my voice and we went across the hall to the music room. It was a wonderful little room, a little gem designed by on© of our best artists. The walls had been painted with scenes from some strange dream forest, where fawns and curious animals played and where long vistas through the tree* made tho tiny room seem large as outdoors itself. In one corner the grand piano stood. Around were some chairs and couches to lounge on. all the light was centered on tho instrument, and then diffused to throw a pale illumination on the It was a room to play in, to create music, to feel its beauty, painted dream forest. Mr. Nardonski sat down, running his fingers over the keys of the piano. I sang some simpler things for him. He pretended ho thought my voice very good. I took his compliments, I did not care what ho thought—it was all part of my game. Then I played a Chopin prelude, a bit I remembered from a Tchaikov sky symphony, the “Love and Death” music from Tristan. “Ah, there is passion there, in those slim white fingers!” he said, leaning nearer to mo over tho piano. 1 BttlU UUlUillfe.

And you hoil a vegetable and make coffee on the other two burners if you wish. Plenty of heat, just where you want it and in the right amount—none wasted. You can regulate it. The white-tipped flame of the New Perfection gives an intense heat and keeps the bottoms of your utensils clean—doesn’t soot them up. Hence it lightens labor. And the chimney is made long for a purpose; every bit of the oil you use has a chance to burn up completely and produce its full share of heat. This is a big item | of fuel saving for those who use the New Perfection exclusively. fections—over 3,000,000 of them — are invariably cooler and more com fortable to work in. It’s a great relief to be rid of coal, ashes, dust and wood in the kitchen. And there aae fewer corners to collect dirt. The New Perfection is made in one, two, three, four and five-burner sizes—warming cabinet or not, as you prefer. Of course, you will want a New Perfection Oven, too. Aladdin Security Oil gives uniform, satisfactory results. You should use it regularly. It is eco nomical because it’s pure—all heat. New Perfection Oil Cook Stoves are sold at most department, furniture and hard ware stores.
