FLIES AND SPIDERS.
"I heard the other day,” said a fly.
“of a spider who was boasting of how
many eyes he had.”
“Weil,” said one of the spiders, “I
will boast, for I have many eyes my
self.”
“So have I,” said the fly.
“Well, then, we will both boast.
Won't you come and call on me In ray
home so we can have a nice talk about
our eyes?” asked the spider.
“No," said the fly, “I won’t. You
may be able to get many of my family
to call on you but I won't be so stupid.”
“It is hardly nice of you to say that !
it is stupid to come and call on me.”
‘said the spider.
“Well, it is,” said the fly, “and deep j
down in your heart. If you have any
heart, you know it to be true. I don't
want to be caught by you, but from a
safe distance I will talk to you."
The spider began to act as though he
were sad because the fly would not
talk it over with him in more friendly
fashion, but the fly laughed and the
fly buzzed and the fly said:
“I remember the old story about the
spider who invited the fly to his parlor.
No, I don't care to be invited to any
spider’s parlor. So we may as well be i
quite clear about this now. We may
as well understand each other perfect
ly.”
“All right,” said the spider, “if that
Is the way you feel about it.”
“It Is the way I feel about It,” said
the fly.
“I see I can do nothing with you,”
said the spider.
“You admire me though, don’t you?"
asked the fly.
“Well, perhaps," said the spider, “but
I hate to admit It. We creatures, and
*
“Won’t You Come and Call on Me7”
spiders aren't the only ones, will often
really admire another creature much
more who keeps to his own sensible
ways than to let himself be coaxed in
to doing something very foolish.”
“There are many flies who have com
pound eyes, many eyes, double eyes,
eyes, eyes,” said the fly.
"And there are many-eyed spiders,
too," said the spider.
At this some more spiders and
flies joined them and the spiders
all began to ask the flies to talk the
subject over In a more friendly fashion,
but the wise fly was there to keep them
from accepting the Invitation.
“They say,” said the spider, “that
our eyes aren’t as fine as the eyes of
people who only have one pair of j
eyes.”
“Why Is that?" asked the fly. “That
seems rather strange.”
“Because,” said the spider, “our eyes
are fixed In their different places and
people can look in all directions with
their eyes, sideways, upwards, down
wards and all over. They can really
do very well with one pair of eyes
apiece.
“And it Is all because their eyes
are so movable."
“They can't take them out and have
them in the back of their heads one
moment and in the front the next, caD
they?” asked another spider.
“No,” said the spider, “they can
merely move them around In the reg
ular places for eyes so that they can
see all around them. But they can
move their heads so they can see what
Is behind them.
“Ah, these are the days when there
are our cocoons to be found under
stones and on top of walls, and there
the mother spiders are hatching lots
of little pink eggs which will become
spiders, too.
“It Is the spring, you see, flies and
spiders, and the spring Is the time of
the year when new things come, new
flowers, new spiders, new leaves on the
trees."
Just then a caterpillar crawled
along. _._.
“Good morning.” said the caterpil
lar. And the others all politely said.
"Good morning.” ,
“I heard you talking about cocoons.”
said the caterpillar to the spider, “and
I wonder if you are as shy as we are
when we make our cocoons. We don'f
like to be watched and we will not
work when we are being watched.”
“You're very shy.” snid the spider.
“We aren’t so shy as all that.”
“We’re too shy to call on you in
your parlors," said the fly. buzzing and
grinning.
“Yes. you're too shy." said the spi
der. “lunch too shy, and altogether too

The beet natural disinfectant is sun
shine; the best germ distnfertant le
formaldehyde, the best physical disin
fectant is soap; the best moral disin
fectant is publicity.
FOR THE FIRST MEAL.
There is probably no meal of the
day where dainty service and pretty
attractive dishes
are more appre
ciated than at the
morning meal.
The first dish
should he fruit
and as the sea
son’s fruit ap
pears we need
not fear monot
ony. Whenever possible a most grace
ful and pleasing garnish for the fruit
of the hreakfast table Is the foliage
of the fruit itself or any which resem
bles it. After the fruit is the morn
ing cereal. If one has never tried the
whole wheat as it comes from the
thresher or granary there Is still a
treat In store. In many homes a
small mill Is used to grind these grains
of various kinds. They will cook
much quicker If ground, but wheat
well washed and soaked over night
then cooked slowly on the back of the
stove until It Is soft, has yet to find
Its equal as wholesome food, especial
ly for the little people. Serve It with
top milk and cook enough to last sev
eral days. It will keep and not a
grain should be wasted. Such food If
especially good for the youngsters’
supper, too.
Bananas when well ripened are good
to serve with the breakfast food if
they are liked that way.
Eggs ns oriielets or in a hundred
ways, are a most satisfying breakfast
dish. A well-made and nicely-seasoned
hash Is another good dish for break
fast. For the grownups the boiled din
ner hash Is a great favorite, but one
must have a good digestion for such
food.
Toast, dry, buttered. French fried,
or as milk toest Is another good morn
ing dish. Toast should be well
browned and crisp to be palatable,
when served. Bacon, ham and chops
are good breakfast meats, but It Is
better to err In not having meat than
In serving it too often.
Breakfast Muffin.—Beat one egg. add
a half cupful of milk, flour (with two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder) to
make a soft drop batter, then add
two tahlespoonfuls of melted butter
und pour Into well-greased muffin pans
to bake In a moderate oven.

Mandarin Coats.
Short mandarin coats that may be
worn over milady’s pajamas pre made
of black satin and the odds and ends
of wool from the knitting bag. Or one
might use rope silk in the pastel tints
for decoration. These delightful lit
tle coats are very simple to cut with
sleeve^ and body in one. Of course
the neck is collarless in true Chinese
style, and sometimes the embroidered
trimming forms a mad riot of coloring
that is both bizarre and artistic. Bril
liant red poppies and nasturtiums are
Interesting and one chooses this type
of flowers rather than the dainty rose
or sweet pea for the oriental lounging

Aunt Betty was a good neighbor, a
good cook nud a good hand to look
after the 17-year-oid niece intrusted to
her care—a pretty little miss with a
too large appetite for Ice cream sodas
and the admiring glances of tall young
soldiers.
When bake-n-pie day rolled around
it fell to Elizabeth to wrap up the ex
tra half-dozen delicious ones Aunt Bet
ty' baked and generously set aside for
the soldiers. Itiglit under the crust of
the most tempt lug pie of all she sur
reptitiously tucked a small strip of
paper with tile words: “If you like this
pie call at 22 Bowdoln street Saturday
evening for another." Aunt Betty al
ways baked on Saturday and spent the
evening at the Bed Cross rooms, leav
ing Elizabeth alone to keep house.
It was a most delicious pie. so
thought Lieut. John H-, as he
tucked Elizabeth’s note inside his
pocket. It was Saturday evening be
fore he thought of it again, at just
about the same time that Elizabeth
was fluffing her hair and wondering
if her scheme for a little fun would
bring any results
When the hell rang Elizabeth flew to
the door, a sweet little pink faced vis
ion In blue. Lieutenant H- was
rather taken abnck. but Elizabeth was
equal to the occasion. “Oh. good even
ing.” she trilled. “So yon nre the one
that got my note, and you want an
other pie? Well, come right In—I have
one for you—so glad ;o’l liked It.”
John H-was by this time thorough
ly enjoying the most unusual situation.
In a pretty room with a pretty girl,
tying up an extremely tempting-look
ing pie, ail for him—well, the fates
were kind, thought he. “I must compli
ment you on your skill as a ple-inaker.
Miss -,“ hesitating to learn her
name. Elizabeth looked blank for a
second ; then “F-,” she added glib
ly. "Elizabeth F-: and now who Is
going to accept this pie?” Elizabeth
thrilled a little when she learned bis
name and his rank, and quite suddenly
decided that he was very, very good
looking. They chatted pleasantly for a
few moments, after which Lieutenant
H- very properly took his leave.
"You may have another pie next Sat
urday evening—If you enre to call for
it,” Elizabeth said coyly at the door,
which Invitation 'vas most heartily
accepted by the tall lieutenant.
The next morning Aunt Betty dis
covered that she was a pie short.
"Sakes alive! you didn't eat a whole
pie Inst night, did you, Elizabeth?”
she asked. "Mercy, no! Aunt Betty.
Someone called at the door lust night
and I gave one away.
Aunt Betty had Just placed the pie
board on the table when the telephone
rang insistently. Elizabeth flew to an
swer it. “Oh, It’s for you," she called.
“Lizzie B- Is sick and they want
you to come right over.” “Mercy,”
exclaimed Aunt Betty, “and my baking
just begun! Well, I must go, that's
plain. Yon might make that sponge
cake. Keep the fire, and don't let the
beans burn."
Elizabeth gazed in dismay at Aunt
Betty's figure hurrying down the wnlk.
That meant no pie for Lieutenant
H- that night. Oh, If only she
conld bnke one! Whatever had pos
sessed her to let him believe she conld
—why hadn't she explained? What
would he think of her? Disconsolately
she mixed the sponge eake, hut was
too wise to attempt the pie. Supper
time came, and no Aunt Betty. She
telephoned instead saying that she
would be home early In the evening.
Elizabeth was In despair. Of course
auntie would come while Lieutenant
H- was there! What should she
do? It was not the radiant Elizabeth
of the week before who answered
Lieutenant H-'s ring at the bell.
but a very sober little girl In a plain
white dress. Hardly wa* he seated
before Aunt Betty bustled In. Eliza
beth Introduced them the best she
could, and Aunt Betty’s frown van
ished before the frank smile und cor
dial handshake of the engaging young
soldier. “If your niece will make su<-h
delicious pies,” he began when the
formalities were over. “Bless my
soul,” interrupted Aunt Betty, “did
you bake pies today. Elizabeth? You
nevsr made pies before in your life “
Look* on the two faces before her
stopped her. “Oh, Mr. H- oh
Aunt Betty," stammered Elizabeth;
! then realizing that she must either
laugh or cry she began to laugh which
was the best thing she could do. She
explained everything to her listeners
as gracefully as she could, ending with
“I don't think I am a natural-born
deceiver—really; still I don't know
why I fooled you both so. Please for
give me." John -H- laughed good
naturedly, seeming neither shocked
nor offended, much to Elizabeth’s re
j Hef. Aunt Betty, too, was kind as ol
course she would he. “You surely did
weave a ‘tangled web,’ as the poet
says, Elizabeth." she said with a laugh
“There isn’t any pie for Mr. H-to
night, but you might bring on yom
sponge cake—I suppose you made one'
And If he will cqme over to dinnei
next Sunday there will be pie to grac«
our table no doubt.”
Lieut. John II- was a frequent
and welcome guest at the F-botm
after that. “I wonder which he llket
the best,” mused Elizabeth one night
“Aunt Betty’s pies, or me”; but some
thing in his eyes as they met hen
across the supper table convinced hei
that he would still come If Aunt Bettj
never placed another pie before him
also that it wn« h'gli time that she wat
learning how to hake pies herself.
