THE POTATO BABY.
A Simple Tale from the German,
for the Babies.


Once upon a time a poor woman lived
in a small cottage on the edge of a big
city with her little girl Gretchen. AL
though Gretchen was only 4 years old
she always tried to help her busy
mother as much as she could. She
picked things up from the floor, put
some Of the things OF the table for din
ner and ran many little errands for her
busy mother.
One day her mother said to her:
Gretchen, dear, will you please go
down cellar and bring me two or three
big potatoes? You can carry them in
your apron ''Oh, yes, mother" said
the little girl, and started at once.
When some time had passed and
Gretchen did not come back her mother
was frightened for fear her little one
had hurt herself. So she hurried to
the cellar to see what had happened.
When she reached the foot of the stairs
she was very much surprised to see
Gretchen sitting on a pile of potatoes
in the corner, nursing and rocking
something in her arms.
Gretchen" called her mother. SSH
sh!" answered the little girl, you will
wake up my baby" There in her arms
| was a potato baby, made of a fine big
| potato wrapped in her apron.
So the mother spoke softly, in order
| not to wake her baby. She told Gretch-
en- to bring her child upstairs. Then
she made from some pieces of cloth a
cap and long dress for the new doll.
| Gretchen thought it as nice a baby doll
as those she had seen in the arms OF
the rich little girls who sometimes
drove past her home. She kept her
potato child for a long time and was
very happy playing with it,

PRESENTS FOR BABY.

A pretty baby book to keep a record
of the little one's progress for the first
three years. (You might embroider a
linen cover with the baby's name or
appropriate f1owers).
Gold or silver safety-pins, a rattle,
rubber doll or animals, or a silver
spoon marked with baby's initials.
A hand-painted china powder-box or
mug would be delightful if you are
able to paint. A little carrying ham,
mock of macramie work makes a novel
and acceptable little gift.

design without breaking the thread.
This work must be done without the
use of knots. Work the threads back
n forth. concealing the end as you
would in any ordinary~darn. A cross
stitch design will do to copy in the
darning stitch, or you can buy n
square already worked and copy that
design or any number of others.
The figures are all more or less con-
%ventional and can easily be copied.
Filet squares made at home are com
paratively inexpensive to those bought
in the shops. If you are fond of
needlework, you can make many hand
some sets of filet squares for trimming
table linen, bedspreads, pillow shams,
bureau scarfs or for use on your
lingerie frocks and blouses. The work
is fascinating. and can be done rapidly.

Ducklings with Spanish olives, gar
nished with foie-gras border, sounds
almost elaborate enough for a Sum
day hotel dinner, but you can easily
have this delectab1e combination at
home.
half pound of lambs liver sent also.
Calls liver is not so d~elicately fla
vored and cannot be made to taste
like foie-gras, so be particular to
get lambs. When it comes. put to
soak in cold salt water for thirty
minutes. then drop in boiling water and
cook gently until tender. Drain and
pound In a mortar. Press through a
sieve to remove any fibre. mix with
an equal quantity of fresh butter and
season with salt and pepper and a
trifle Of grated nutmeg. Add two egg
yolks and when all is well blended put
in cooler until needed.
This imitation f~oie-gras is very use
full for garnishing for surtouts and
bottoms. 1t is excellent If well pre-
pared.
Draw and clean the duck and bone
1t from the rib. Mix half the foie-
gras with tomato sauce and buttered
crumbs and stuff the fowl with this.
Sew the breast and lard narrow
lardoons. Sift seasoned flour over the
bird and bake in a savory roasting pan
or in a paper bag about forty minutes.
If it Is really a duckling thirty min
utes will find 1t well done. While 1t
is baking, stone large Spanish olives
by forcing the pits out of n end.

Place 1t upon the bruise and apply a

If the dent has not disappeared re-

H. S. A STEADY STAR READER
Young people over 20 generally find card
games an interesting pastime. Why
not give a heart party and have card
board hearts prevailing in the decora-
tions? When they are strung across
the room they give a very festive ap-
pearance. A Dutch whist is also enter
tanning, and Dutch paper dolls n
windmills form attractive decorations.
Five hundred is another game your
guests will probably enjoy, as 1t Is
both simple and interesting. IT you
think your friends would not care to
rlay cards, why not have a peanut
hunt? Hide peanuts around the room
and in the halls, and give a prize for
the person finding the greatest number
within a set time. A potato race gem
orally gives rise to a great deal of
merriment. Arrange a number of
potatoes in a row at n end of the
room, supply each guest with a small
spoon and give a prize to the n who
carries the largest number Of potatoes
on the spoon to the other end of the
room within a set time. Consequences,
the Quaker family, objects, beast, bird
or fish, may be used to take up the
remainder of the evening. Why not
close the entertainment by making
fudge or Welsh rarebit in a chatting
dish? Cooking generally adds to the
sociability of the occasion, and the
guests enjoy waiting for the dish to be
finished almost as much as they do
