Then that's what we'll have said Bar

They tiptoed as softly as they could
downstairs.

pered Gwen, while l go to see If Katies
in the Kitchen" In a minute she came
back. She's just gone upstairs and the
dinners all cooking. Come on. she whis-
pered So they both ran Into the kitchen
as merry and misehevious as possible.
oh, dear me-" said Gwen peeping into
a saucepan. here's rice. and I'm so tired
of rice"
You'll like It today" said Barbara. She
took from her little green bag pair OF
ivory knitting needles. 'fThese are magic
needles she said. and then she touched
the rice with one of them. Candy" Sne
said. Now taste IT.
Gwen tasted q bit Of the rice, and it was
the most delicious cocoanut candy she had
ever eaten. oh splendid, Splendid she
cried.
Now" said Barbara. you can have the
other knitting needle. and we'll get ready
some beautiful surprises. Here are sweet
potatoes in the oven, and croquettes ana
crullers, and a big deep dish apple pie, and
on the stove are mashed potatoes and
gravy. Then there's bread and butter on
the table. See how I'm changing things
about Gwen clapDed her hands and
jumped for joy. For a few minutes they
worked as fast as possible and then Gwen
heard Katie's step on the stairs. Hush.
she called. Come. Barbara. we must hide,
so off they scurried to the china closet
again.
Everything was finished, whispered
Barbara, land she'll never notice the diff
ference-the things look exactly the same.
l made one special surprise for you Gwen.
You must be sure to take the cruller with
a little mob at one side
"All right" said Gwen. Now l must
go into dinner You hide behind the por
there's in the dining room.
Yes. it will be such fun Barbara an
swered.
So Gwehdoln went to dinner and found
ali the family just sitting down-the
mother. the father and the three little
boys, Timothy. William and John. Each
child was given q croquette. mashed po-
tato, rice and sweet potato, which was
not at all an unusual dinner. John, who
was the youngest and hungriest, began
to eat first. 'Oh goody! he cried. What
a lovely croquetter
I'm glad you like 1t, my dear" smiled
Mrs. Jones. I'm glad to see you enjoy

About Drums.

1t seems that drum Is as dear to the
heart of the small boy as doll Is to the
small girl, that Is, IL one is to Judge from
the small drummers to be seen on the
streets after Santa Claus has made his an
nual visit. You would be surprised to hear
that quiet little village up in Massachu-
sets, Granville, sends most Of the cheaper
drums out into the world. Well, 1t does.
Granville Is the center and heart of the
drum-makins business. 1t turned out S0o,-
600 last year.
The business started in 1850 and had an
interesting beginning. A Mr.. Cooley had
been to Pittsaeld, where a relative had been
trying to make a few drums. He was about
to throw up the business, but offered II to
his nephew John with the remark that
there might be money in 1t, but he could
not get any out.
A friend of this nephew went In with him
and together they made their first drum,
which Is stu cherished in the old shop.
This drum was taken to Boston. shown to
dealers in toys, and when young Cooley re-
turned to Granville he had orders for a
good number. He invested $3.50 in mate
rails and thus started the biggest concern
OF its kind in the world.
The first year, $50 drums were made,
mainly of one pattern. Year by year the
business grew, their quarters had to be
enlarged. and today two hundred hands are
kept busy turning out the drums which
give so great a pleasure to small boys.

Garden Planting.

Now is the time to plant the seeds in your
gardens, you children who have been given
a little bit of back yard all to your
selves.
1t is just as we'll to plant flowers that
grow easily-fowers that can take care OF
themselves pretty well, so that you won't
have to cover them with waterproofs IN
rainy weather, or parasols when 1t is sunny.
Morning glories are always pretty, II you
arrange some strings for them, so that they
can climb up the fence. You will notice
that they will only Irvine one way, how
ever you may urge to the contrary. by
the way, you can plant them IN mower
pot outside your window on the shady size
IL you have no garden, and they Will make
a pretty frame to the window.
Nasturtiuns. candy-tuft, phlox and portu-
laca grow easily and make the garden look
gay.
"ready-made to be really successful, SO
you can plant those while you are waiting
for the seeds to come up and have a
charming little garden in no time. The
pansies are very obllging about letting you
pick all their blossoms. In fact, they pre-
fer you to pick the flowers so that they
can give all their strength to the buds.
Would you like to have vegetables, too?
Radishes. lettuce, tomat toes and gourds
grow easily. Once some people opened their
house in the fall after being away all sum-
mer and found their yard a waving sea OF
green from the too-luxuriant gourd plant
They had to hire q man to cart IL away.
Beans are interesting to plant, for they
have such funny way of coming out of the
ground. The bean itself comes right up,
no matter how firmly you have planted 1t.
Don't think 1t has made a mistake, and
plant II again, as some one did. 1t knows
what 1t is doing and will turn out all right
in the end.
Peanuts are very curious, too. You can
get from the florists special kind. which
grows fairly well even In the northern
states. After the yellow flower has opened
and the petals fallen the seed vessel which
remains turns down and grows right into
the ground again, where 1t grows larger and
ripens into the peanut
Perhaps the most useful vegetables for
your small gardens are mint and parsley
They grow easily. and 1t really Is very con-
venient to be able to get them from the
backyard.
Mustard is fun to grow, especially IL you

My struggles was awful; 1 worked an

flash that 1t took me to seize my rife Rnd

that had him too close FL at such an
