The cherub.

He had lemon-colored curls and a
nose like pink button, and his age
was close to four.
He came into the drug store accom-
panied by his mamma, and was lifted
onto a stool at the soda water coun-
ter.
His mamma ordered two chocolate
dips, and Immediately thereafter the
youngsters face wrinkled amazingly
and he uttered an indignant "Waw-
aw-awl" His mamma bent over him.
Make Algie chocolate soda" she
said.
The orders were filed.
"Waw-aw-awl" shrieked the infant.
Again the mother bent down.
"Algie wants plated holder for his
glass;
The holder was provided.
"Waw-aw-awl" howled the little GUS
toner.
"Algie wants straw" said mamma.
Algie got the straw.
There was a moments silence. dur
ing which the little angel lntently
scowled at the clerk.
What Is it, dear?"
Once more the mother bent down.

"Algie doesn't like your face" she
said to the clerk. "Wil you please 60

Good nutty oil of good flavor and

the impure and adulterated oils are
more often the cause OF the dislike
some people have for olive oil than
any other reason.
For those who do not care for a
rich mayonnaise dressing, one may
add oil to boiled dressing instead Of
using butter. and thus cultivate the
taste for oil in those who object to
its use.
The French dressing is one which
Is deservedly popular, for It is so sim
pie to prepare, so wholesome and APP
petiztng. Less vinegar is used than
formerly in the preparation of French
dressing, little of that acid going a
long ways. Three tablespoonfuls, or
four of oil and one of vinegar with
salt and pepper, makes a dressing Of
good consistency. Beat the oil and
vinegar well with dover egg beaten.
or If made at the table, stir with a
fork until it is all well blended.
Olive oil is the ideal fat for deep
frying; but for ordinary mortals it is
beyond the pocketbook.
Oil may be used in many ways in
cookery, adding to the nutritive value
of the dish.
