FOR AFTERNOON TEA.

Many hostesses this winter are serving
with afternoon tea the tiniest little hot
baking powder biscuits. not larger than
5O-cent piece. They are usually buttered
and spread with maple sugar or with a
paste made of the sugar and chopped
hickory nuts but some prefer to use a
filling of peach marmalade or thick money.
Biscuit halves spread with grated cheese
and toasted brown are the specially Of one

The DOGGY
BY Louise HeiIgers.

- From her earliest childhood
she had been accustomed to creep on
tiptoe past his study door, TO go softly
across that part Of the garden upon
which his windows opened. to avoid
the drawing room, the dining room, any
portion of the house where he might
chance to be, as one avoids the plague

somebody who wouldn't always be say

I shall have to tell your 1atner- You
know what viii happen then.
Anybody who had such a loud voice
that il doomed like the surf on the
seashore when he talked, or big red
hands like the giants in the picture
book, must needs be terrible when
his anger was aroused
Sometimes when she was brought 10
the drawing room at tea time IN
clean starched pinafore and g pink sash
she would gaze in awe at the bogeys
bearded face. 1t was dreadful to know
that such a frightful looking person
was her father.
She was grateful, indeed. that he
took very little notice Of her once
or twice he pulled her hair teasingly
or pinched her pale cheeks, but be-
yOnd that he ignored her. And after
little while aunt always sent her 10

As she grew older she lost none Of
her old fear of him When she went to
boarding school her aunt would write
in her weekly letter Il hope you are
studying hard. don't know what your
father will say if you do not do him
credit He is giving you an expensive
education You must see to II that the
money is not brown away
1t was a wonderful relief when she
went home for the holidays to discover
that this dread person had gone away
to Africa. exploring.
It did not diminish her fear Of him
there had been trouble with the MI
tives at some place with an unprO-
nounceable name. that there had been
killing. She could quite believe that
he would not be behindhand in the
killing.
When. after leaving school she
came home for good, she was thrilled
with delight to hear that he had start
ed on another expedition. But although
this dread person was not there in
substance, his shadow still fell heavily
across her path.
She discovered that when a man she
hated proposed TO her. She refused
him, and thought the matter ended,

~ RUTH Is the telling Of a thing as it
is. not as YOU would like to have
it. Pessimists claim that it is q

trouble and were fired out of the
Garden OF Eden by telling the truth,
instead of leaving the case to the
supreme Court on technicalities. On

not telling the truth. Ever since
then mankind has been regarding the
truth with a fearful and puzzled air,
and tossing up between the two

there was more truth we could get
along without jury system. or a
