cur old cuckoo clock would do for sub
ject This clock is quite an old one. and
in times past it has done admirable SER
vice as a timepiece, but now it does not
seem TO be particular about what time it
strikes, and although sometimes it gives
the right time, more times 1t is incorrect
It seems TO have a faculty of striking when
perfect quietness Is more desirable in the
house. This Is particularly so when any
one is using the telephone, and often when
one is trying-under dif1culties-to get a
message over the wire, this clock is John

ing strikes. mixed with cuckoo"
Although the clock aggravates US at
times we seem to have become attached

house. If anything should happen 10 it we
would miss it very much, indeed. 1t is an

way toward pleasing her enforced hostess,
who will puzzle and wonder as to who this
attractive looking person is that she is
unable to place for the moment Often
very good calling list is the result OF
several intrusions. well carried off. A good
memory Tor faces for anecdotes read in
papers and also the seasons plans which
are published about many Of the fashion
abIes, makes the unlimited one seem TO be
long to a desirable coterie. and on the
strength OF her ingenious chatter an ex-
change of cards will follow, and she will
have added another paving stone 10 her
pathway TO success.
The determination 10 get in is not one
that will die easily. No amount OF snubs
can crush 1t. Besides, all the desirable
parties are not given by one person. and.
moreover a hostess who entertains many
people would not be likely TO remember
that there was we'll dressed woman at
her tea or musical whom she could not
account for; for the world moves quickly
these days. and society is not as closely
knit in friendship as formerly. when those
termed leaders had all of them practically
the same calling acquaintance, and so
could compare notes. The hostess of to-
day IS practically powerless TO exclude
from any general affair she gives these
climbers" who calmly walk in. The an
nouncing footman is no terror to them.
They rejoice in hearing their names re-
vertebrate in ponpous tones: il makes them
feel like the girl in the limerick-"as IL
they'd been really invited
A hostess cannot issue cards OF admis-
sion for receptions or musicals. The laid
carpet from doorway 10 curb betrays the
fact that something IS going on within.
and up such velvet paths unbidden the
climber goes without compunction. IL Is
so customary now for the papers 10 give
complete lists, with addresses, for the af-
fairs for each day that nothing is easier
than 10 know the name of each hostess.
The climber can choose whom she wishes
TO descend upon. arriving az the time of
the greatest crush 10 escape detection.
How TO suggest that the unbidden one
depart is a question still open as il is diff
hcult 10 be either quick enough or rude
enough 10 devise a plan Of action even
when the crush permits a hostess TO real
ize that an impostor is before her The only
way she can show her dispieasure is 10
refuse any recognition Of the offender at
the pext meeting.

cooked, will make a fine course at dinner

possibilities of vegetables that he has
dragged out a manual about them from

inviting everybody who wants TO know the
qualities of vegetables and ways of prepar-

Agriculture for It. Technically IL is known
as Farmers Bulletin No. z56. and Uncle
Sam charges nothing for IL at all
Frequently people are heard 10 say that
this or that vegetable does not agree with

fault is not in the vegetab Bile, but in its
preparation. Water soaked vegetables are
a common cause of Indigestion. and vege-
tables in restaurants. where they are
cooked in quantities and allowed TO stand

Long before Queen Mary ever dreamed
that she would become Queen of England
she used TO romp with her brothers among
the bracken and heath in Richmond Park,
where she lived with her parents. the Duke
and Duchess Of Teck. and she has always
wanted her children TO have the same free

babies they had little overalls 10 wear when
they wanted to make mud pies and get
gloriously dirty, and Princess Mary had
frocks with real pockets that she could

and were encouraged in their first attempts
at fishing by having the tiny fish they
caught cooked for their own special feasts.
They played bali with their grandfather,
King Edward, and Queen Alexandra often
came TO take tea with them in the nursery.
So far they have known only the pleasant
