As News of His Work
Trickles Through Lines
These maids and officers are very
secretive about their plans, but the
news does have a way of slipping
out and Dan Cupid chuckles with glee
these summer days, as more hearts
are added to his score.. His arrows are
more deadly than shrapnel and the
silver-barred officers of our army and
the pretty Omaha girls they left be

Curtain!
"Don't you think we ought to have
some curtains" suggested one of the
officers at Fort Omaha to Miss Flor
ence Range, when they were looking
through the Y. M. C. A. hut. "Com
in from a man," said Miss Range, "the

they are badly needed." Miss Bess
Mitchell, acting for the Association

Harriet Ruth's Cooking Lesson.
Harriet Ruth had recently learned
to like tuna fish. She had reached
the point where she liked almost any.
thing; but tuna fish had not been a
real favorite until she had met it in a
new form at Aunt Kathryn's the week
before. Mother had smiled when
Harriet Ruth sent back her plate for
a second helping of the fish. After
Ivnch, mother had said, "Harriet
Ruth, do you know what we had for
lunch?"
Harriet Ruth admitted she didn't
know exactly, but it was ''awfully
good," she said. Mother laughed and
told her it was tuna fish.
The little girl asked Aunt Kathryn
for the recipe immediately. Aunt
Kathryn was much amused to have
her small niece ask for a recipe just
as a grown woman might. "You are
quite a little housewife, aren't you,"
she said.
The first cool dav Harriet Ruth de
cided to try her new recipe, provided
mother thought it would work in all
light for dinner that night. Mother
thought it would for she could plan
an oven dessert for that night. Then
Harriet Ruth brought out her recipe.
Tuna Fish Loaf.
1 pt. mashed potato, V, t. pepper.
1 c. tuna fish flakes, y, c. milk.
2 t. salt. 1 T. fat, melted.
2 ergs, beaten.
Beat the entire mixture together
?nd place in a greased baking dish;
set in a second pan containing hot
water and bake in the oven until
firm, about 40 minutes.
The small cook knew by this time
that a pint of mashed potato meant
two cups. Mother had boiled the po
tatoes at noon and Harriet Ruth had
mashed and measured them. But she
was not quite sure how many cans of
fish she would need. So mother told
her to open one small can and mea
sure the amount in it; lhen take a
second can if she needed it. Mother
also told her to notice the weight
on the can. The small can weighed
one-half pound and gave just one cup
of fish. Mother asked her if she did
not remember the jingle which was
true in the case of many things (but
not all) "A pint's a pound, the world
around."
"Mother, is it necessary to put the
loaf into the second pan of water?"
"Yon might manage with a very
low oven, and no extra pan. but it is
always better to be safe when baking
anything with eggs in it. Egg dishes
toughen so, if they are baked at a
high temperature."

The garden was filled with the per
fume of flowers and the music of
birds, but Nanette was sad, for her
Tronton Ton must soon be off to the
war.
Nanette was pretty; Tronton Ton
was handsome and brave, with the
face, the bearing, the gesture of the
true soldier. "Let us think, ma che
rie," he murmured, the day before the
)arting, ot something in the way of i
lttle keepsakes to give each other.
so that I will think always and al
ways of you, and that you will never
for a moment forget your Tronton
Ton."
And Nanette certainly must have
had a happy inspiration, for those
gifts, made with her own clever fin
gers, brought such happiness such
good luck, that all over France today
soldiers and sweethearts are giving
the same mementoes of affection to
each other, as parting gifts of ex
change. And what are these gifts? Just a
few strands of silk floss, tied, if you
please, to form two tiny puppets, or
dolls. One is "Nanette" in her pretty
Wench frock; the other Tronton Ton
in his uniform of Poilu blue. Nanette '
wears "Tronton Ton" suspended on i
a ribbon about her pretty throat, but j
concealed from curious eyes under I
her pretty blouse; while 1 ronton Ion
goes "over the top" without fear of
danger, for does not "Nanette" ac
company him everywhere, bringing
him only the best of luck?
And these "Nanettes and Tronton
Tons" have met with such favor, that
French milliners conceived the idea
of using them as decorations for hats.
And joy bel Omaha is soon to have
a real "Nanette and Tronton Ton"
chapeau. One of our newest and
smartest hat shops has ordered one
directly from Paris, and it's expected
arrival is awaited with delightful an
ticipation. I'm told by one who has
seen a model of it, that it is one of
the most unique and prettiest conceits
ever brought forth in the millinery
world.
And speaking of hats: Ideas in new
hats are coming by twos and threes
into our Omaha shops. Most of the
hats turn up and away from the face,
and the ways in which they turn are
as numerous as can be.

the sauce, now. mother?"
"No, better put the loaf into the
oven first, since it takes so long to
bake. Have you timed yourself so
that we can have dinner at half past
six"
"Yes, I'll put the fish into the oven
at a quarter of six, because you al
ways tell me it is safe to allow an
extra five minutes for things that are
baked."
While the fish loaf was baking,
Harriet Ruth brought out the things
for the parsley sauce.
Parsley Sauce.
IS T. fat. H t a)t.
H4 T. flour. Juloe of H lemon.
1 egg. 'A c. chopped parsley.
1 c. milk.
Melt fat, add flour and salt, and
stir smooth but not brown. Add milk
and stir to boiling. Add beaten egg
just before taking from the fire and
stir till well thickened. Add lemon
juice and parsley at the last.
Harriet noticed that this recipe was
put together in a very special fashion.
"Why is it made so?" she asked.
Mother explained, "the eggs must
be kept from toughening just as they
are in the loaf. Only in the sauce
the secret is to cook them just as
short a time as possible; while in the
loaf, the secret is to cook with a low
temperature. Then, in the sauce, you
can guess what would happen if
lemon juice were cooked with the
milk. The parsley is added at the end
because it is valued for its flavor and
we want to lose as little flavor as
possible. A double boiler is really
the best utensil in which to make this
sauce, on account of the milk and
eggs."
When the fish loaf was done, Har
riet Ruth took the big oven cloth to
remove it from the oven. But moth
er though it was rather a heavy, hot
load for so small a cook. So mother
slipped the loaf onto a hot platter her
self, then Harriet Ruth poured the
parsley sauce over it; and proudly
carried the dish into the dining room.
Father decided immediately that "it
looked good enough to eat;" and later
everyone found that it was "good
enough to eat."

Blue Jay Gets a Shock.
(Peggy, going to Plrdland to attend
the wedding of General Swallow and Miss
Purple Swallow, flnde that the bride lias
been atolen by Blue Jay and hla (lung.
Billy BolKlum leada a reectie party to
Blue Jay's hiding place a hollow tree
upon a hill.)
BILLY Belgium whispered a
warning.
"There's only one entrance to
the hollow inside the tree," he said.
"It's a small hole away up at the top.
One good fighter at that hole could
keep all the Birds in Birdland away."
"I could fight my way in," hissed
General Swallow.
"But during the fight harm might
come to Miss Purple Swallow," cau
tioned Peggy-
"If I were my own size I could
kick the whole tree to pieces," boast
ed Balky Sam.
"And maybe Miss Purple Swallow
with it," Peggy added, frowning. But
what he said gave her an idea. "We
might be able to scare the Jays out."
"That's the thing," agreed Judge
Owl, who had panted up all out of
breath. "I'll hoot as soon as I can
get my wind."
"No," said Peggy, "they would
know your voice. We want some
strange kind of attack that will
startle them so they will rush out of
the tree. Then we can capture them
one by one. Billy Belgium, you
know about war; can you suggest
anything?"
"I think I have a plan," answered
Billy Belgium, "but we'll have to
grow large to carry it out."
"That's easy," replied Judge Owl.
"Another taste of the fairy grass will
make you large."
Pfggy pulled the grass from her
pocket and in a trice she and Billy
Belgium and the animals were their
usual selves again.
"My plan is just like a battle plan,"
whispered Billy Belgium. "We'll
have to organize to carry it out. In
the first place we will put swift,
strong Birds up in the branches of
the trees to pounce upon the Jays
when we scare them out. King Fish
er and the other Fishers would be
the best for that job."
"Leave them to me and my Swal
lows," muttered General Swallow,
fiercely.
"No," objected Peggy, "you don't
want to get into a fight on your wed
ding day. The bridegroom ought to
look his best, not all battered up."
"Besides, we don't want to fight
the Jays; we want to capture them,
so I can try them in my court," de
clared Judge Owl.
"We wiil catch them, all right.
They will be easier to handle than
squirmy fish," said King Fisher. And
away he and his companions flew to
take up their post.
"We will give them three kinds of
a scare all at once," continued Billy
Belgium. "We will make a horrible
noise, we will shake the tree and we
will blow smoke into it and make
them think it is In fire."
"How will you do all that?"
asked Peggy, to whom his idea
and Mrs. Hardin Bean for several
days, have returned to their home.

The fact that after three months'

"Well, for the horrible noise Balky

Johnny Bull can growl and you can

"Gracious, I've never heard a ghost

"Oh, just make the spookiest
sounds you can thnk of sounds that
would scare you if you were out here
in this lonesome hollow tree in the
middle of the night."
"Oh," answered Peggy, to whom the
possibilities of her role began to ap
peal. She felt sure that she could
make noises that would scare Blue
Jay into fits.
"While you are making the noises,
Ralky Sam can kick the tree and
Billy Goat can butt it. The Jays will
think an earthquake has struck them."
"But about the smoke?" asked Peg-
sy-
"I've got matches and will build a
little fire beside the tree- During the
noise Reddy Woodpecker and all the
other Woodpeckers can cut a hole in
the bottom of the tree. I'll shove the
fire up the hole and blow the smoke
in."
"But that will smother Miss Purple
Swallow," objected Peggy
"I'll make a smudge that will not
do any harm just scare 'em," re
plied Billy Belgium. "Now, every
body get ready."
"But what shall I do?" asked Gen
eral Swallow, who was dancing up
and down, he was so nervous.
"You get ready to rush in and res
cue the lovely Bride."
Billy Belgium quickly gathered dry
leaves and twigs for his fire. He
marked a place on the tree where
Reddy Woodpecker and the other
Woodpeckers were to make the hole.
He showed Peggy, Balky Sam, Billy
Goat and Johnny Bull just where
they were to stand. Then he crept
back into the forest and cut branches
with which to hide them should the
Jays peck out of the hole.
All this was done very quietly. Billy
Belgium gave his directions in
whispers and every one moved so
silently that the chatter of the Jays

within the hollow tree could be heard
all the time-
This chatter developed into a row
over the fate of the captive. Blue
Jay insisted that he was going to
marry her. The other Jays wanted
to hold her for ransom, the price of
her freedom being a promise from
the Swallows that the Jays would be
permitted to raid Farmer Dalton's
orchard and garden whenever they
wished
Right in the midst of this row Billy
Belgium gave a piercing whistle, the
signal that all was ready. Balky
Sam's heels landed against the tree
with a crash. Billy Goat followed in
stantly with a terrific bump. Peggy
howled like a banshee her Irish nurse
told her about and Johnny Bull
growled in a terrorizing way. Billy
Goat "ba-a-a-ed" as he butted again
and again, while Balky Sam empha
si2ed every kick with a roaring "hce

The Jays shrieked their alarm at
the first attack. They rushed to the
hole but did not dare venture forth.
Billy Belgium gave another pierc
ing whistle and the noise, the kick
ing and the butting were redoubled.
Billy Belgium pushed the fire up to
the opening made by the Woodpeck
ers and blew the smoke inside- The
Jays, scared by the horrible noises,
shaken by the attacks on the tree and
choked by the smoke, were in a mad
panic. Shrieking madly, they piled
out of the hole as fast as they could.
Every one as he fled was seir.ed
tightly in the powerful talons of a

and he became the priie of King
Fisher.
General Swallow and the other
Swallows darted into the hole, while

despairingly. "She is not here!"
