The beet, carrot and radish candy
boxes are made complete with green
leafed tops for bonbon boxes. and it is
at first a puzzle to kncw just how best
to arrive at their desirable contents. A

Fits off a lid, and within lies the seduc7
tive bonbons. A pretty combination this
willy sugar plum merchant has made
is a very practical-looking soup bunch
"a carrot, a beet, a turnip. one onion and
a radish, each one holding a different
species of sweetmcat, are all tied to-
gether with a ribbon, ana should certainly
serve as a valuable thank or peace offer
ing this Easter at any feminine shrine.
A good many Of the fruits and such
vegetable candy boxes as tomatoes, egg
plants, potatoes and squash, are made
up in rough earthenware. and colored
by hand where tinting was necessary.
The fat. red tomatoes boast no more
delicate material than the rich, red pot
terry OF which cheap iower pots are
composed. Egg plants are in the same
rough, picturesque ware, but the most
te.npting-looking peaches, etc, are maii-
ufactured of tinted bisque or painted
porcelain, and. when emptied of their
sugary freight, win serve as charming
jewel, hairpin and stamp boxes.
A child must have in Its active life at
least tw~o-thlrds carbonaceous foods and
ore-third heterogeneous or iesh-building
foods, says the Ladies' Home Journal
For ~breakfast he must have first a we'll
baked or steamed apple, a little apple
sauce, a ripe peach or some grapes. fol
lowed by a well-cooked cereal with milk.

of broiled white fish, a little broiled
sweetbread. a piece of broiled chicken,

meal or other grain preparation, and a
slice of we'll toasted whole wheat bread.

meats. with one starchy vegetable, such
as rice, potato or stewed macaroni, and
one green vegetable simply cooked, such
as spinach, caulidower. asparagus, let
tuce, cress, celery. well-cooked cucumber.
carefully stewed turnip or well-boiled
radish, over which Is poured a little
cream sauce, giving the required fatty
matter. The better method, however, is
to give him the succulent vegetable, care
fully and simply cooked, followed by q
little shredded lettuce mixed with a tea
spoonful of Give Gil and a drop or two of
lemon Juice
Next comes the desgert-a thing to be
most carefully considered. Cake, of
course. should never be given; even an
adult should look Upon lake and pastry
as an evil. Such things as rice pudding,
cup custard, caramel custard, mock
charlotte. floating island, rice dumplings,
boiled rice and milk, and moulded rice
with whipped cream, may be used.
Water not ice should be the accom-
! panying beverage.
Supper may consist of bread, thor
oughly baked, with either butter or milk,
or cornmeal mush and milk, mush
bread. bread sticks and chicken broth.
Milk is the best liquid food for the
child's night meal"

A Rochester newspaper tells of a spring
development which is of more than local
interest, says "Harper's Weekly" A
Rochester man, Mr.. Little, has a rustic
table. newly made of willow and poplar
branches, which stood bronzed and var
nished in his house. But the wood in it
was cut in winter, and when the spring
came the sap in those branches woke up
and the branches began to grow knobby.
and presently threw out a lot Of green
leaves, which plainly appear in the pic
ture which the newspaper gives. That
is the sort of determined and persevering
wood that would seem to be adapted to
the uses of the Tree-Planting Associa-
ton Of New York. Cuttings which when
bert, vanished and brought into the
house still persist in carrying out the
intentions of nature might thrive even
in holes in the sidewalk along the streets
of New York The Rochester nursery
men. who are quick to recognize special
merit in vegetation. will do. well to culti-
vate cuttings of this sort and list them
in their next years catalogues.

with dull green and trimmed with a
couple of black quills, was provided by
way of head gear.
