BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Reddy Fox had a sore nose and sore
heart. Prickly Porky was taking sun
nap on Reddy's doorstep and Reddy had
run right smack into him when he started
out. You see Prickly Porky filled up the
doorway and shut out all the light from
Reddy Fox. Because there was no light
Reddy had thought it must still be night
So he crawled up the long hall and very
carelessly ran right into Prickly Porky' s
sharp little spear from Prickly POrky's
long coat was sticking in Reddy's nose.
and do what he would he couldn't get it
out My. how it did hurt.
Just as soon as he felt 1t Reddy Fox
knew what the trouble was. Prickly
Porky had kept Reddy Fox shut up in a
hollow log once upon time and Reddy
had not forgotten it. He knew that he
had got to stay where he was until
Prickly Perky got ready to let him out.
Hi, YOU. Prickly Porky. l want to
come OUT yelled Reddy Fox.
Prickly Porky just snored. Yes, sir, he
was so comfortable and warm and sleepy
that he went very. very fast alseep and
snored Reddy could hear him. He thought
that Prickly Porky was just making be-
lieve that he was asleep, and Reddy's
temper few all to pieces. My. my. my,
it is a dreadful ting to let temper fly
to pieces that way.
LET me out! Let me out. If you don't
let me out you'll be sorry" shrieked
Reddy Fox.

PRCKLY PORKY HAS BAD DREAMS

had spent the night was narrow and low.
so that Reddy's voice did not sound very
loud. Reddy did not dare touch Prickly
Porky for fear of those little spears hid
den in Prickly Porky's long coat. SO all
he could do was to shout and yell and
call Prickly Porky names.
Now, when Prickly Pork sleeps he
sleeps very hard. very hard indeed.
So he snored away comfortably and
knew nothing about Reddy Fox. for
you See Prickly Porky had thought the
old house deserted when lie had stretched
BY and by Prickly Porky began to
dream. He dreamed that some one was
yelling in his ears. No matter what he
did he couldn't shut out the dreadful
noise. By and by it seemed to him that
he knew whose voice he heard. 1t was
the terrible voice of Mr.. Panther. who
lives in the North Woods, from which
Prickly Porky had come down to the
Green Forest.
Little cold chils ran all over Prickly
Porky. for fierce Mr.. Panther is one of
the two or three who live in the great
North Woods of whom he is afraid. He
srunted and whined, and then-why he
opened his eyes and found, that it was
only bad dream.
He yawned and stretched. and then
pr.cked up his ears. There was voice, a
really. truly voice. and it was screaming
Let me out. Let me OUT
Slowly a grin crept over the face of
Prickly Porky. Then the grin grew to
chuckle

Nourishing Soups.

Cream Of corn soup makes a nourish-
ing dish for warm weather. and now that
corn is plentiful soup Of this kind may
be very inexpensive as well as quickly
prepared.
The corn should be cooked and then
scraped from the cob. One cup of the
scraped corn is rubbed through sieve
and put into a saucepan.
To this is added one cup of boiling
water, a little onion juice and salt and
pepper to taste.
In double boiler heat one cup of milk.
and when boiling stir into it table,
spoonful or so of cornstarch and the same
quantity of butter. When thickened put
in the corn and boil together for about
five minutes.
A couple Of tablespoonfuls Of whipped
cream stirred in just before serving is
an improvement to the soup. but is not a
necessity.
In these days of high cost of living
meatless soups will be a means of saw
Ing and really better for warm weather
than the heavier kinds.
Green pea soup is made by cooking
quart of shelled peas i'm three pints
Of water. then rubbing them through a
sieve
The peas are put back into the water
in which they have been boiled one
tablespoonful Of hour is beaten into two
tablespoonfuls of butter and then added
to the peas. Salt and pepper to taste
come next. and finally one quart of boil
ing hot milk is gradually stirred in.
The mixture should be cooked about ten
minutes. If the flavor Of onion is liked
one should be boiled with the peas.
This Is one OF Mrs. Parloa' 9. recipes
and ssa most delicious soup
Corn chOwder, though quite an mex
pensive dish. is' very appetiZing. A cup
full Of corn is boiled soft and then rubbed
| smooth. In the meantime cut two ounces
of fat pork into small pieces and fry with
sliced onion. Cut up four large pota-
toes into cubes and scald one quart of
milk. Put corn. pork fat strained. pota-
| toes. milk and seasoning into saucepan
| and bring to boil.
| Rub a couple Of tablespoonful of but
| ter into little -four and add to the chow
der to thicken.
| The dried herbs are q great boon to
lhousekeepers who live far from a store.

In fact. city residents find them a very
great convenience. too. They come in
compact form, and the process of dry
ing is so complete. even the fresh herbs
are not found to be superior to them
They are an economy also. One table
spoonful of powdered mixed herbs is
equal to handful of soup greens.
A good onion soup is made by boiling
onions gently until cooked through. They
should then be chopped and put into
saucepan containing one quart or more
of water. A large cupful OF potatoes
cut up is added with salt and pepper TO
taste, also a level dessertspOon of dried
herbs. The soup can be thickened with
the butter and flour rubbed together, as
before directed.
4 good substantial soup can be made
from any soup bone and vegeta bles AL
most any kind of the latter will do ex-
cept tomatoes.
Meat bone and vegetables are boiled
together and then, when thoroughly
cooked, are strained. One quart Of po-
tatoes finely mashed are added to the
liquid, and lastly a cupful OF boiling
milk. Seasoning should be added and.
if liked q tablespoonful of butter rubbed
up with a little -four. but the potatoes
will serve to thicken. Serve with chopped
parsley ELIZABETH LEE.

All About Ribbons.

There have been revealed recently some
beautiful ribbons prepared for the COM
ing season. These are of velvet broche.
and. alike in coloring, design and quail
ity. frankly surpass anything ever pro-
duced. That modistes will quickly real
iZe their value goes without saying, and
they are sufficiently superb to be per-
mttted to figure prominently in the most
recherche toilets.
There is every prospect indeed. that
they will be made the basis Of many de-
signs worked up with lace. for lace has
once again got us firmly in its grip, and
will not pass away with the summer.
Slowly. but very surrey. the three-tier
lace skirt is making itself felt The vo-
lants are kept very fat and are mostly
broken at the sides by contrasting dra-
perry. Striped and Powered taffetas are
likely to be much in request. together
with soft brocades. and through these
mediums some really fresh silhouettes
should be achieved for evening dress.

The Other Side Of the Medal
By Ruth Cameron.

or certain great man very much IN
the public eye just now, a popular peri
odical recently used an apt french
phrase 1t said that he had lies defaults
des qualities" which, as the gentle reader
has already guessed, means that he had
the defects that go naturally with his Pc
cular qualities
This great man is pre-eminentiy a
"doer'' and according to this ANALYSIS OF
his character. he has the precipitancy and
ind;scretion which are the complementary
defects Of that character.
Now as to whether this particular man
has the qualities and defects mentioned,
I am not going to try to guess. You see,
I've given my solmen word to keep out
OF politics. But the reason I've been tell
ing YOU about him is just this. 1 want TO
call YOUR attention to the value OF that
French phrase.
Do you realize that almost all OF US nave
les defaults des qualities?
We have, you know. And in judging
or blaming or analyZins our family or our
friends, and especially. l think, our chill
dren, We should certainly take account
of this.
And yet how seldom We do!
For instance. child is quick to learn
eager and impusve: we praise these
qualities. But he Is also the iheNitdo'c
complement, rash and impulsive, ana
probably quick tempered. We blame him
for these tendencies and wonder where
on earth they came from. They are notn-
ing but other manifestations OF the quail
tiles we praise. .
know a young woman who, all
through her childhood and girlhOod. was
tremendously intense, in her play, her
study. her friendships and all that she
felt or did. Her mother undoubtedly knew
f,, NV
when womanhood came. and the same in
tensity displayed itself in other ways and
almost ruined the girls life, the mother
could not see where she. got such pas
sfonate disposition. IF the coiner of the
French phrase will permit Id like TO twist
it a Bit and say that We also have the
qua lites of our defects)
For instance a friend Of mine supplied
a piece of information which a group OF
people wanted. How did you ever find
that out?'' they inquired. How? she
answered Because 1 wanted to know
and asked. That's the way with you
people-you laugh at me because l 60
around asking questions. but you are
glad enough to share my knowledge when
YOU want to know anything. You see
She had the quality of her defect-if you
may call curiosity a defect: / don't. but
some people do-the fund of knowledge
went with her inquirins mind.
Good and bad are often only two names
for different phases of the same thing.
And If you will use this point of view
as a key | think you will find it easier
to understand folks characters, your own
included.

SeasonabIe Suggestions

nary duties decreasing in proportion as
she makes use of this knowledge. Fruit

Latest American Fashions


Evening coats. though as variously
shaped AS gowns. show general APP
pearancc OF being aIl-enveloring that
gives them entirely different aspect
from last years models. The length is
largely a matter of preference. but also,
to a certain degree it is dependent upon
the character of the design. The coats
that wrap about the figure are invariably
very long, some of them sweeping the
ground for several inches. while the ones
that are more suggestive of coat lines.
straight and limiting of the tailor's ef-
forts. are apt to terminate at any point
below the knees.
In the sketch is shown a winter cloak
of dark gray velvet with gray fox collar
and foot band. with silver banding ap-
piled in scroll design and a lining of
white satin. 1t is most graceful model
following the fad for drapereS, and it is
just as practicable for silk or cloth, if the
wrap is desired for immediate wear, the
fur to be added later on when the season
warrants 1t.
Old blue and all the tones between it
and delicate robins egg tint; all of the
dull rich reds. and two three deep
toned browns are the favorite colors, but
two-toned and figured velvets and satns
and the beautiful brocades in both velvets
and satins will be close rivals of the plain
colors.
Black Is good year in and out. and is
certainly no exception now, for it forms
a'charming background for the wonderful
metal embroideries that are going to be
such popular trimmings, and that are
always such excellent foils for handsome
furs. There is a new velvet that at a
distance looks precisely like cloth of gold,
and this figures in some Of the choicest
models that the great houses have been
showing. 1t is rich, without being ag-
gressive, and has a soft sheen that is
very becoming.
Not a few of the models display rare
combination of fine tailoring with soft
draperies. This is we'll expressed in a
model original with one of the 9Th avenue
houses and designed especially for either
daytime or evening wear. 1t has Pc
culiar yoke effect that fastens almost
over to the shoulder beyond the opening
of the coat itself, it's edge being continued
for six or seven inches into tab that is
tassel- tipped.
From this yoke the material falls in a
perfectly straight line. terminating in a
point at the side front where the open
ing occurs. and in another and longer one
on the side that is overlapped. The odd
feature Of this coat is the sleeves, which, |
coming from shoulder sleeves, cut |
in one with the yoke. are draped as the |
ia brio is taken up at the inside seam. |
There is no collar. the braid Or banding |
that outlines the yoke and fronts being !
continued around the neck.
