She Sat OH Them.

"And Amalic Riyes sat on them
actually sat on them" concluded the
newspaper woman, with an air oof
incredible climax.
"Sat on what? Oh, do please tell it
again pleaded the art student, who
had just come IN. Not that shall
care if she sat on squash pie or q
flower bed; | shall adore her Just the
same, for didn't che write "A Brother
to Dragons and isn't her profile
simply divine? What did she sit on?'
ut was this way" began the news
paper woman obligingly. "a friend
of mine was lunching at Delmonico's
one day, and while she was RECALLING
herself on one of his simply incompar-
able salads, a waiter came in GLADDEN.
with flowers, and scattered them over
q table laid for four near her. Nat
urally my friend waited to see who
was coming and meantime the waiter
came back and scattered the most de-
licious datfodis-it was in January,
too-over one of the chairs Pretty
soon in came Mr.. and Mrs. Amele
Rives-ChandIer, and two men belong

that great fat woman"-the newspa-

tually sat on those daffodils; daffodils
too, of all the flowers in the world
consider it simply brutal!'
$50 she did almost sit on flower
bed, after ALL" commented the art
student, smiling. II wish she had
gathered the daffodiIs up and put
them in her belt or on the table, but
after ALL they were put there for her
to sit on, weren't they? And "A Broth
er to Dragons is the most exquisite
love story that was ever written, and
if its authors profile is half as beauti-
full as her picture, she is diviner'
School Luncheons.
''In the first place, bear in mind
that the lunch must be light and OF
such nature that the child will not
be made uncomforta BILE digesting it.
l take for granted that, perhaps in
your locality, they take lunch at noon
and then remain in school until 4
o'clock. If there is one hour given for
lunch, children will naturally eat dur
ing the early part of the hour Then,
after that, they will run and use such
violent exercise that digestion is
stopped until they become once more
quiet in the school room, so digestion
is going on while the brain is also
active. This, of course, is partly un-
avoidable, and, unless great care is
taken to give light lunches, children
will break down when they reach
the ages of Ii to 16. A sandwich,
carefully made of whole wheat bread,
we'll buttered; and filing of chopped
beef, tender chicken or hard boiled
yolks of eggs, pressed througha sieve,
are good. The whites must be rigidly
discarded. Occasionally cheese sand
witch may be given. Do not give pre-
serves, or whole hard boiled eggs, pie
or cake. Uncooked fruit apples in
season and grapes should be given
freely. Cup custards can be carried
easily, and form nice little closing
to the sandwich. TO give variety,
occasionally a sweet sandwich could
be added to the others. Sandwiches
should be rolled carefully In waxed
paper, or they become dry and unin-
viting. Cold meat, such as mutton,
beef or chicken, may be neatly ar
ranged, and little paper of salt and
pepper put into BOX to use with it,
so that with the bread, which must
be buttered, the meat can be taken
without always having a sandwich.
Do not use ham or hard eggs. Mrs
