cracks, she dropped me and I fell in a
crack and there l lie to this day.

Leaves from Evans Diary

BY Irene II. Graham Aged IL Years, 24S2
Franklin street. Omaha.
am IL years old today. l live with my
father and mother in Argos. Father isn't
like he used TO be any more. He and
mother talked long while last night after
I went to bed. and this morning she was
so sad. when she kissed me she almost
cried.
This is a week later am not so happy
any more, because father and mother look
so troubled. Father doesn't tell mother
all that's happening for I heard him say
to Uncle Mares, II dare not tell Lsnna
all, for she would grieve too much" They
don't tell me anything.
Now I have found out It's those Spar
tans. They want TO kill father and mother
and everybody in Argos, just so they can
have more land. But father isn't going TO
let them. He and uncle are soldiers.
Father has been in battle and was hurt,
He is going to take all Of us far away
from our dear Argos He is going to take
us to an island, called Rhodes. away over
the water.
This is two months later. We left dear
Argos and went straight to Rhodes. But
our dear, dear Argos was burned by the
Spartans and ever so many of our friends
killed So l thank dear Zeus every morn
ing for saving my father and mother for
me.

TO SERVE PRUNES

The poor prune! 1t has never had i
chance to show what it really could be
as a delightful dish. Tor housekeepers
seldom take trouble to prepare this
very delicious fruit other than By
''stewing." Prunes are very wholesome
and they are not expensive. therefore
they ought TO be popular.
The beautiful French fashion Of put
ting them up in glass jars has shown
us to what perfection they may attain
and how expensive the very perfect
ones can be also.
Prune frappe is fine. To make IT,
says an exchange. which gives the
other receipts which follow:
Boil one pound of prunes in two cup
fuls of water until very tender then
strain through a fine collander. adding
a pint Of sugar. the juice of one lemon
and half a cupful of maple syrup. Re-
turn to the fire and stir constantly TO
prevent burning, boiling ten minutes;
now remove. and when thoroughly cold
fold in the sti1ly whipped whites Of
two eggs and a large cupful of sweet
ened cream beaten solid. Turn into a
chilled freezer and when half frozen
add a small cupfil Of chopped hickory
nuts; continue freezing until firm and
smooth, serving in small crystal sher-
bet cups, sprinkled with candied
orange peel.
