Their means of crawling is very dif ferent from that of the earth-worms or the snake, notes a writer In the Missouri Farmer. They hnve three pnlrs of small. Jointed legs near the head, and live pairs of leglike structures near the other end of the body. Earth worms and snakes do not have any legs. This explains why the caterpillar moves along more evenly, as though on little roll ers, while the pace of the earth worm and snake Is more jerky. One caterpillar, called the “measuring worm,” Is noted for Its looping method of travel; It seems to be measuring the distance ns It goes.

As tastes differ as to bitterness In the marmalades, one has to he guided as to the amount of the rind used in the mixture. For those who like a mild and still tlavorful marmalade use one each of lemon, orange and grapefruit Grapefruit and Almond Salad. Cut the pulp of two grapefruit Into dice, add two ounces of blanched and chopped almonds to the drained pulp. Dissolve one package of lemon gelatin with boil ing water and the juice from the fruit to make two cupfuls, using one cupful of grapefruit juice and one of water. When the mixture begins to thicken add the almonds and r» teaspoonful of sugar. Pour into a mold and set away to harden. Serve with mayonnaise ns a salad or with whipped cream as a dessert.

Cook in sugar sirup with a small hand ful of the little cinnamon candles, which add flavor as well as color.

THROUGH A W>mans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON HER LIFE’S SAVINGS «* U'XTREMELY cheerful, Isn’t she, for one who has seen the sav ings of a lifetime swept away?” That remark about a woman I had just met reminded me of some thing a well known author said at the depth of the depression, when so many people complained of losing everything. Siie said that if all they could show for “the savings of n lifetime” was the money that had been lost, she felt sorry for them. Otherwise, it wasn’t so bad I This might seem to he optimism like that of the doctor who wasn't “at all worried about the patient’s excruciating pain!” Rut here now was a woman who justified it. She had lost all her money, she was “well on in years," and yet she was, apparently, still happy. True, the loss of her fortune did not mean the almshouse. She had left a very small annuity, sufficient to supply the necessities of life. Rut for one who had for years worked for a com petence to keep her in the way to which she was accustomed, this might well have been a great trag edy. It is not easy at sixty to al ter habits. And to many people, to leave little to enjoy. But this woman had already “saved" much besides her money. She had saved a good working philosophy and a sense of humor. She had saved simple tastes, and a knowledge of pleasures that are free. She had stored up provisions for her mind, where she had riches, and a capacity for always coining more such riches, that no depression or financial loss could take away. Among life’s savings, too, this woman had love, the devotion of those to whom she had given of her self or of her substance. And she had friends, whose affection she had saved and guarded through the years with no less thrift than she had saved her money. But I should say It is to the qualities within herself, “saved up," that she owes her abil ity to rise nbjve financial loss, to be undowned when her money was swept away. ©.
