M3EVDMKP FAIRY TALC M 6y Mary Graham Bonner SXI X • c ~ t** *ajr»om r~»T-» MRS. INDIAN ELEPHANT Mrs. Indian Elephant performed many fine tricks. She was a great favorite in the zoo and the children used to come und see her. Then she would do her tine tricks und the chil dren would give her peanuts. They would give her as many as the keeper said she could have. They didn't give any that the keeper said not to, for he knew if the ele phants had had visitors earlier in the day who had been feeding them. And he knew- how much elephants should eat and what they shouldn't eat. As the children didn't want to mnke the elephants sick they used to ask the keeper if they could have anything to eat that day. Mrs. Indian Elephant had once been in a circus and the other zoo elephants had not. She used to tell the other elephants the story of her circus days, how she would go from town to town and how she would lead great parades. She would deser'be the beautiful lady who rode on her back In the parade for the town and the parade for the clr cus. She would tell how she used to He down and wave flags and how she could pick up the circus innn and carry him about. She used to tell the other zoo animals how the people clapped, how the boys and girls would scream with delight. She had seen so many, many chil dren. more than even came to the zoo. “And It was funny," she used to say, “but I would think to myself. ‘Now in tills town we’re coming to surely there will be no children.* “But there always were children, ill every single town. Yes, friends,” Mm. Elephant would say, “I have never been in a town where there are no children. I imagine a town must be very, very rare that has no children, and I don't believe there is such a place. “It wouldn't be a place worth visit ing. I know that much. Why, no one would want to perform In a circus If children weren’t there, for children know enough to appreciate a circus, and while grown-ups may. too—well, they don’t like to laugh right out loud just as hard as children do.” But one day Mrs. Indian Elephant felt quite sad. She had been thinking of something else and though later on shp cheered up and forgot about It I must tell you what she said. “It does seem a pity,” she said sadly. “What seems a pity?” the others asked her. “Tell us. Mrs. Indian Ele phant, what seems a pity?” “It seems a pity,” said Mrs. Indian Elephant, “that we aren't appreciated. “That Is. we aren't as Interspst'ng as The Beautiful Lady Who Rode on Her Back. the Mr. Indian Elephants and we aren't as Interesting as the Aft lean elephants hut we would like to he thought so just the same. “Yes, we would like to be thought just as interesting. We most certainly would. And it seems a pity that they don’t core for us so much. They think we’re very common and usual. And so we are. But It's a pity they think It. yes. It’s a pity we don’t fool the keepers better." “It Is a pity." said the Miss Indian Elephants. “It Is a great pity,” they said, waving their trunks. “But it's the truth," said Mr. Indian Elephant. “There, there,” said Mrs. Indian Ele phant, “don’t rub It in.” “Tin not rubbing anything in." salt Mr. Indian Elephant. “I mean." said Mrs. Indian Elephant “that It’s rubbing the truth in wlier you say it Is the truth and I know II Is but don’t like to have people think so—and yet they do.” “Oh. I see." said Mr. Indian Ele phant. “That’s a fine way of looking ai things,” said Mr. African Elephant. “Now, he kind, be kind," said Mrs Indian Elephant. "for you're a rare creature and a fine creature and I hate to admit it, I do." He Remembered. The lesson was of the rahhit. “The rahhit has long ears, fur on Its body and a tail—nothing to speak of, though"—the teacher Informed the class.

There nre any number of kinds nnd flavors of gelatine desserts on the mar j-- ket which, by the addi tion of boiling water, are ready, when cold, to serve with cream and i sugar. These desserts are good, easy to prepare, and easy of digestion, qualifications which make them popular; but one tires of things too easy and unvaried. Here is a dessert, very dainty and rich, which will he good to serve the “grown-ups" who have good digestion: Frangipan Pie.—Roll out very thin a rich pastry and cut it in rounds, using a pie tin for a marker. Bake thiee of these cakes, and put them to gether with a filling of crushed straw berries and cream, covering the top with the berries and sweetened whip ped cream. Cut In pie-shaped pieces. Stewed Lettuce.—This Is a dish not sufficiently used to become common. When one Is tired of serving the flesh lettuce, steam It until tender, and serve as a greens, with butter, salt, pepper and a dash of vinegar. If liked. Cucumbers are good cooked. Peel 1 and cook until tender In boiling water or over steam, then serve with a drawn butter sauce. Onion Juice may be add ed for vurlety of flavor. Canterbury Chicken.—Cook together three and one-half tablespoonfuls of blitter with one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion (when the onion is yel low add one tablespoonful of corn starch) and pour over one and one-half cupfuls of chicken stock. Bring to the boiling point and simmer for ten min utes, add one-half tahlespoonful of j lemon juice, three-fourths of a tea | spoonful of salt, a few dashes of pap rika and one and one-half cupfuls of chopped cooked chicken. Serve very hot, garnished with toast points and parsley. Fillets of Beef With Bananas.—f'ook the fillets cut one and a quarter inch thick, nnd arrange on a hot platter j with the liquor from the pan poured over them. Cook quartered bananas i Ir a little butter until well cooked, ; then place these quarters on the fillets nnr. serve. "HetO-c trfcGfi. ONLY FEW COIOBS Women Must Use Shades That Are Picked for Them. Wearers of Garments Have Little or No Chance to Exercise Own Taste, Says Writer. Launching a new color nowadays is attended with as much ceremony ns the launching of a battleship, Amy E. Hogeboom writes in the New York Herald. Not that there Is such a thing as a new color, nor that colors are scarce. Neither has It anything to do with the dye situation, hut the fact Is that the mannfacturers assem ble each season and decide to allow certain shades to be placed on the market at that season. If you should wish for any shade which they have decided Is not to be you may as- well give up in the beginning. This does not happen as often as It might were the majority of the well-dressed wom en not cleverly cajoled into wanting the shade that the manufacturers have decided they shall want. Allowing only a few colors out of the hag at one time has Its advan tages, for when the popularity of one has worn off a bit there are plenty of others left from which to select the next one for the center of the stage. The disadvantage Is that as fur as the woman herself is concerned she has little or no opportunity to exercise her own taste; she is almost as help less in the matter as she would be bad she no color sense at all. She may find a dressmaker willing to cut her gown somewhat as she wishes or a tailor who may humor her in a like manner, but unless she has special dyeing (lone for her she must select from the colors set before her. Last fall some one hit upon a shade which he called henna as an especial attraction. It might have been In spired by some canon of art or It 'might have been suggested by the Rus sian dressing of the business man's luncheon, hut the women wore It, and that is all they had to say about it. For the greater part (he women are willing sheep In matters of dress, be It color or line, and If not naturally thus inclined they show good sense not to try to stray too far away. Hav ing purchased one article in a color not approved by the color censor, for really we have censors for everything nowadays, it will be found impossible to match the color In anything else and an utterly hopeless task. ONE NEW BATHING COSTUME A stunning bathing costume on new lines with the knee-fitting breeches which are the very latest thing. A quite elaborate hat is worn to match the suit. Practical and Smart. If one must wear furs in midsum mer—and it has been proved how practical they are aside from their un disputed smartness —it is by far the best plan to have a distinctly differ ent set of summer |s>ltry and send all the winter furs to cold storage for the hot spell. Furs are like plants; they have to rest once In a while between seasons of ..blooming out In beauty, and the fur neckpiece or coat that was worn month in and month out with no period of recuperation would soon be come shabby and lifeless looking. FOULARD HAS FIRST PLACE Fabric Is Prime Favorite Among Silk Materials for Wear During Warm Weather. Among the Rilk materials for the i warm-weather frock the foulard has first place. 'The designs this season are exceedingly varied. The polka dot ranges In size from a pin-head to a half dollar. One very good pattern recently noted had several dlfferent elred circles of white clustered to gether and plentifully scattered over the surface of a navy blue ground. A very good-looking costume of this de sign was combined with plain one-tone silk. The frock was simple of line. The plain material formed the body of the blouse nnd simulated pen!am, while the short sleeves and scalloped | flounces were of the polka dot foulard. Completing tlie* costume was a leg horn hat trimmed with scarlet flow* i err. To wear with many of the charming little organdie frocks widc-britnmed hats of the same materia! have been especially fashioned. These are trim med with taffeta ribbon, and sometimes faced with taffeta. Jersey cloth, both In silk and wool, is one of the most favored silk materials. rSIUH AND HEAVY SATIN GOWN This is a heavy, yet soft satin with a quaint piping of plaited satin hemmed in. The white dots are lawn and little French dots secure it. A PERFECT EAR The appeal which the govern ment Issued early this year, urging the production of a large crop of vegetables and farm products of all kinds, as a means of assisting America to check the food famine of the Old World, evidently did not fall on deaf ears in this section of . the country. An early evidence of this Is found in the unusually large number of early entries which have been received by the farm products show to bo held at Nebraska's Vio tory State Fair, Lincoln, Aug. 31 to Sept. 6. A Wonderful World. “Don't talk to me about the wonden of past ages," .said Uncle Joe Cannon “The world today Is far more wonder ful than ever before.
