he really was worth seeing, the cat and
fox flattered him SO, and he consented
to go. Il can eat my lunch while We

The fox led them along a path through
the woods and stopped in front Of

one answered. Then he called, What,
no. friend! we have come TO call upon
you this fine morning"

fox. after waiting a while and receiv.

he said. SO spotty sat on a nearby rock
and opened his parcel of lunch.
You will spoil your fine coat" the
fox said to Spotty. You better remove
it.while you are eating your lunch"
Il will put it inside my friends house;
and the cap, too; the wind might blow 1t
away"
The cat had been looking all this time
at Spotty's lunch with longing eyes, but
Spotty did not offer him any.
Your lunch looks so tempting" said
the cat, that / think 1 will go into the

Here's An Idea For
A "Romper" For Baby

Here Is a fine idea for rompers for the
baby. Take any simple dress pattern,
with either round or square yoke, or a
plain slip, and, after cutting straight
across the bottom, measure nine inches
from each side toward the center. Cut
out the center between these points,
rounding to a depth of about FIVE Inches
In the middle. This forms the seat be-
tween the legs.
Face with the fabric and work three
buttonholes in the front, with buttons
to correspond at the back. Gather the
right nine inches in front and back into
a band ten inches long, and to it's front
end work a buttonhole. This band is to
be buttoned. around the baby's leg
above the knee. Treat the left side in
the same way.
When the rompers are out on button
each band around the leg and the front
to the back. This is the most conven-
lent Of rompers for many reas ms, and
is not nearly so complicated to make as
1t sounds. Gingham or chalnoray is the
best material

Her gingham aprons and white caps
We're Always span clean, and she kept
her husband and children looking as
clean and neat as herself.
Ptnkey wore white pinafores, and the
end of one ear was always tied with a
blue or pink ribbon.
Spotty wore short trousers OF green
and black gingham and a jacket Of
either green or red, so you see that, al
together, they were well-dressed fam
iIy.
One morning Spotty said: Mother,
should like to go to market. l am old
the city
His mother did not approve Of this,
but his father said: Let him go; he
must learn the ways of the world some
time; let him begin now
So Spotty started on with basket on
his arm and a neat parcel of lunch in
one corner of II.
He wore his red jacket and a. green
cap. and as his mother stood in the
doorway watching him she felt proud
BE careful to whom you speak," she
warned him. land do not listen to the
idle talk Of everyone you meet, and
look out for your red jacket and keep 1t
c'ean.''
Spotty promised to heed her advice
and trotted OFF down the road, feeling
very important and wise.
He walked quite a distance without
ming to feel lonesome when some one
said: Good morning. my flne-looking
fellow: are you going my way?"
SpOtty looked around and saw a fox
coming toward him.
II am going to market" said Spotty.
How very fortunate" said the fox.
Il am going there also and shall be
glad to have the company of so wise a
companion as you. And what a hand
some jacket you have on" the fox
continued; Il never have seen anything
so beautiful"
They walked little further and they
met a large cat.
Where are you going?" he asked the
fox
We are on our way to market" re-
piled the fox. Will you join us?''
That is just the place had set out
for" said the cat, with his eyes on the
bundle in Spotty's basket.
What a handsome fellow your COM
panion is,' the cat remarked.
That is just what I have been telling
him." said the fox. and when we reach
town We will be proud to be seen in the
company Of one so we'll dressed. But
1t is a long way to the market. What
do you say IL We call at the house of
friend of mine that lives in the wood a
short distance from this road?"
The cat said he would be delighted.
but Spotty thought he better not stop,

- NCE upon a time there was
little pig that wanted to go to
market Whether he was in
any way related to the little
pig that stayed at home, or the one
that had roast beef, or the one that
had none, do not know, but do
know that this little pig about which
l am to tell you, cried all the way
home, and It may be that he came from
that same family
Spotty was a little white pig with
black spots on his nose and on his sides.
He had a little sister named Pinkey,
so called because of her pink skin.
They lived in a little house with their
rather and mother, and should have
been very happy and contented. Mrs.
Pig was a good housekeeper, her floors
we're clean and white, and she kept in
the window pot Of shamrock, for she
was Of Irish descent, and was very
proud of It,

Stuffed PruneS Are a
Treat At Card Parties

A most delightful addition to the
usual BUFFET spread served at card
parties is the stuffed prune. We have
had dates stuffed with nuts for years.
and also the Weisbaden prunes filled
with smaller prunes. but what have
reference TO here is the home made
variety. The time and your sticky
hands will be we'll repaid by the tooth
some nature Of the delicacy. Soak q
pound of the best quality large prunss
you can procure, in sherry and water
for about twenty minutes, then stone
them carefully.
Try not to break up the prune any
more than necessary. Have a pound
OF dates also stoned, and put pre-
pared date in the center of each prune
and carefully press the opening togeth-
eT. Sprinkle again with sherry and
roll in powdered sugar.
Keep in a closely covered tin box
until you are ready to serve them.

RepousSe Lace Is
Latest To Gain Favor

All the new laces that have a heavy
raised design on a net foundation are
now called repousse. There is a wide
demand for this sort OF lace work, al
though ii differs from filet and the
ecclesiastical laces that are also in IA
vor. There never was a season like
this one for lace, anyway. Whole rooms
are given over to II in some of the
big shops. and machine-made and hand
made kinds vie with each other in
beauty and dignity.
Almost every kind of lace the world
has known has been revived. No gown
or simple coat suit seems complete
without the addition of some pattern.
The huge Revolutionary revers are
made of marvellous meshes, sailor COL
lars are cut from pieces of square laces
that have figures of all sorts woven
in the net, and stocks and chemisettes
are made from the fine Franch laces
that have been revived this summer.
The Washington times., 1911-08-02

The sun was getting low and Spotty
knew he could not go TO market that
day. By and by he began to cry, for
he felt sure that Mr.. Fox must have
carried off his cap and pretty green
jacket, and he began to understand
why the cat had called for help. 1t was
to get him away from lunch, and when
he went to look for the cat the cat
had run out of the bushes and taken
his basket and lunch.
Poor little Spotty, he thought of what
his mother had told him. but It was
too late. 1t was getting dark as Spotty
ran along the road crying. His mother
was at the gate looking for him.
What has happened to you?" she
asked when she saw Spotty without his
jacket and cap. Poor Spotty hid his
face on her arm and cried out his story.
He did not feel as important as he had
in the morning.
His mother comforted him and told
him he was fortunate to escape with his
life, for no doubt" she said, the
fox would have eaten you had you gone
into his hole"
Spotty did not ask to go to market
again, he was willing to remain at home
where he knew he was safe from evil
companions.

Fruit Aid To Health
And Good Complexion

Fruit Is an excellent thing for health
and the complexion. If young people
would eat more fruit and less sweet
stuff they would be twice as clear and
1t would also aid digestion.
Some fruit Is much more beneficial In
its influence than others.
Figs, either fresh, stewed or made into
syrup prures (stewed or in the form
of a puree), Stcwed raisins, sultanas
and curraEts; oranges. tangerines,
grape fruit, bananas (fresh or in the
form of a puree, which may be plain
or mixed with equal parts Of creaml,
apples and pears (fresh. baked or
stewed), most pluns and especially
greenga9 9es, cherries, etc, are the most
reliable, particularly figs and prunes.
After fruit comes cereals, especially
whole oatmeal, or. better still. coarse
brown bread and coarse oatmeal por-
ridge, or porridge made from rolled
oats. Most vegetables are valuable.
salads usually Having a mild laxative

is different matter. The girls time is

right to dictate 10 her what she shall
do with IT. However 1t seems as though
she ought to be sufficiently fond of the
young man to whom she is engaged to
be ready and willing 10 see him as often
as possible. II this feeling does not
exist, the engagement would better be
terminated at once. for flirtatious girls
