Wind worked as hard to blow away
the clouds ns he hud to bring them.
When Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun
began his dally climb up In the

a world of white. It seemd as If
every little snowflake twinkled buck
at every Jolly Little Sunbeam. It
was nil very lively, and l'eter Hah

In quest of his breakfast.

field where the day before be bud
l'eund Dotty the Tree Sparrow and
Slaty the Junco. They were there
before him, not seeming to mind the
scow In the least and having the
etrry best of good times, ns they
picked seeds from the tops of the
weeds which showed above the
mow.
At once Peter discovered that
they were not alone. Quite as busy
seeking seeds ns were Dotty and
Slaty was a bird Just n little big
ger. The top of his bead and back
.were a rusty brown nnd on bis back
were streaks of black. Hack of
each eye and on each shoulder was
a little patch of this snme rusty
brown. The Inner tall feathers
were black, nnd the outer half of
the long wing feathers were black.
Otherwise he was dressed add in

“Are yon going to spend the win

Snowflake was so busy getting his
breakfast that he did not reply at

of hopping tie walked or run. Pres
ently he paused long enough to re
ply to Peter's question, “If the
snow has come to stny all winter,
perhaps I’ll stny,” said he. “I can't
understand how folks can be con

IF YOU meet a young girl with
1 a spirit that shines
Like a heavenly light from her
brave eyes of gray,
The lift of your heart will be one
of the sigus—
That is Kay!
Slip Is like a small boat that bobs
over the wave,
So sure that the storm will not
sweep her away.
The fulfil of her fathers has power
to save.
Says Kay!
Perhaps she has troubles, but no
body knows.
They’re locked in her heart, and
her laughter is gay.
“The world is no better for know

Says Kay!
She's true and warm-hearted : she’s
happy, and sure
That the sun’s never far from the
clouds of today.
And her friendship is golden and it
will endure!

by ED WYNN, The Perfect Fool I
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I am a girl fourteen years of age,
going to school. 1 failed tu my Eng
lish test because In one sentence 1
hud the three words HE AND
THUNES. Can you tell me what Is
wrong in placing these three words
together? Yours truly,
1. FLUNKED.
Answer: Your teacher was right
In giving you a had mark for con
necting the three words HE AND
TRUNKS. The first hook of Eng
lish tells us that "prunes" Is a noun
and should only he used In board
ing houses, while the word "AND,"
unlike an adverb. Is a conjunction.
In your example you have used the
conjunction "AND” to conjunct the
word “prunes.” which Is a noun,
with the word "IIE." The word
"HE" Is a personal pronouu at all
times, except when used for laugh
ing purposes, like IIE-IIE HE.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I am a little girl nine years of
age. I go to Sunday school every
Sunday. I have some lessons to do
for next Sunday; one question I
can’t answer. Will you answer It
for me? The question Is, "What
did Noah say when he heard the
storm approach?'*
Sincerely,
IMA KIDD.
Answer: Everybody should know
those famous words. When Noah
Our National Refrain
heard the storm approach he put
Ids hands behind Ids ears and he
said: "Ark! Ark!"
Dear Mr. Wynn:
Am writing to you as I know you
are a dear friend of m.v father.
You, of course, remember what a
great pistol shot he has always
been. Well, yesterday he put n bot
tle of Scotch whisky on a table,
stood off about ten feet, took out
his revolver and shot at the bottle
of Scotcli six times without hitting
it. What do you think of that?
Truly yours,
WILLIE M. I’RUVE.
Answer: Knowing your father ns
1 do, I can really say It is astound
ing. In fact, It Is the first time I
have ever known your father to
miss a drink.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
1 am a drinking man, but my wife
made me sign a pledge that I would
not take a drink of whisky for one
year. («ee! I'm dying for a drink,
what shall I do?
Yours truly.
A. LUSH.
Answer: Buy a ticket for the
Odlon theater and go to see the
show and ut intermission it will be
perfectly all right for you take a
drink. Your pledge Is only for one
year and the play you are going to
see has two acts and three yenrs
elapse between the first and second
acta.

THE MAN IS NO FOOL
(ir\KAB Jean Newton.
L' “The more I observe the
stupidity of men the more I won
der thut uny Intelligent woman
should care about being attractive
to them. The way men pick their
women—it's Just lucky that every
| mother's son of them Isn t ruined
by the girl he marries.
“The attraction for men in a pret
ty face Is easy enough to under
stand. Their enslavement to looks
In their contacts with women is so
taken for granted that every moth
er of a grown sou prays that the
girl who gets him have something
more substantial than the beauty
that is only skin deep.
“But what Is the quality that
runs looks u close second in land
ing the men? From my observation
it is Just a iaugh. A silly laugh, a
foolish laugh, a laugh with nothing
of humor or sense behind it—any
kind of a laugh. A girl who laughs
is ‘Jolly’—never mind what she is
laughing at. And she will be popu
lar with the boys—and she will
have a choice of husbands denied
her serious minded sister who has
no bursts of hilarity without sense.”
There Is much to be said, my
dear reader, for laughter. Beauty
fades. Material wealth is often
transient. But the nbillty to laugh
hns helped turn many a bad corner
in life w hen there was nothing else
to fall back on.
To my mind laughter, to be intel
ligent, need not always be Justified
by something excruciatingly humor
ous. The laughter of a young girl
exhilarated with the joy of living,
for instance, Is neither empty nor
stupid. And the girl who can carry
over Into later life something of
that urge uud ability to laugh, may
have a stronger weapon In the fight
for happiness—and the happiness
of those nbout her—than many of
us with apparently more substan
tial qualities.
Speaking of people who are very
careful nbout when they laugh, I
HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS
TRY adding a bit of grated
lemon rind with the usual sea
sonings for pumpkin pie; it gives
an added flavor.
In every well-furnished kitchen
one should find accurate scales
and measuring utensils, a pair of
shears to be used only in the prepa
ration of food; and since the suc
cess of a dish depends upon tim
ing its cooking or baking, a reliable
clock.
When cooking squash, wush and
scrub it well, then cut into con
venient sized pieces to go into the
steamer. Cook until tender, then
scoop out the squash, mash, season
with butter, cream, suit and a grat
ing of orange peel. A small amount
of sugar adds much to various
dishes, fresh vegetables, meats and
meat sauces. It accentuates the
various flavors, binds them into a
harmonious whole and enriches the
color.
When starting out for a day of
shopping buy or carry a small pack
age of your favorite candy. When
feeling ready to drop with fatigue
eat a piece of candy and see how
quickly you are pepped up. It will
drive away that exhausted feeling
and give you plenty of energy to
carry on.
A turkish towel or piece of heavy
outing flannel placed on the drain
ing board or la the bottom of the
dlshpnn when washing delicate
chlnn will save many a treas
ured dish from breakage. The habit
must quote Thackeray's line that
“A woman without a laugn in her
is the greatest bore in existence—
for a good laugh Is sunshine In the
house."
No, dear reuder, don't let some
annoying experience with foolish
hilarity blind you to the Joyful and
healing qualities of laughter. The
man Is no fool who Is drawn by the
ability to laugh.
To my mind, one of the best reso
lutions we can make for the new
year is to overlook no opportunity
to laugh.

RUG WELL NAMED
“BED OF ROSES”
Br GRANDMOTHER CLARK
The original rug shown measures
44 inches and requires four pounds
of rags to complete. It is braided
with three strands, but can be cro
cheted. A crocheted rug has better
wearing properties. Many colors
are used In the following combina
tions: Center circle in white, yel
low, red, and black. Three of the
outer circles in various rust shades.
The other three circles in two shades
of blue, and yellow’. Outer edge is
rose, yellow, black.
This rug shows that beautiful
rugs can be made of rags. The
regulation or common rag rug Is
either round or oval, with various
color combinations, and whpn fin
ished has no particular beauty. In
making the above “Bed of Itoses” rug,
make seven small round rugs about
twelve inches in diameter, and set
together as shown here, then work
row’s all nround to size wanted. It’s
a different rug and only another
Idea of what can be made of rags.
The best material for making rag
rugs Is “Llnkraft.” When using this
new material no cutting or match
ing of sizes Is necessary. Llnkraft
Is a round knitted material like jer
sey. It comes In links about five
inches long, but stretches to about
nine Inches when linking together.
These links are to be linked together
In solid colors or mixed ns desired.
Llnkraft Is very durable, does not
fray like rag strips and Llnkrntft
rugs w'eigh about 20% less than rag
rugs.
If you are Interested in making
rag rugs, send for Grandmother
Clark’s Book No. 25 on Crocheted
and Braided Rugs. Twenty-six rugs
are Illustrated, with Instructions.
A wonderful selection to pick from
when having a good-looking rug In
mind.
