STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Why the World Looked Upside
Down to Jerry Muskrat.
By Thornton w. BURGESS.
Copyright. 1913. by ]. G. Lloyd)

Jerry Muskrat sat on the Big Rock IN
the Smiling Pool. which smiled no longer,
and held his head in both hands, for his
head ached. He had thought and thought
and thought until 1t seemed to him that
his head would split. and with all his
thinking he didn't understand things any
more now than he had in the beginning
You see, Jerry Muskrat's little world was
topsy -turvy. Yes. sir. Jerry Muskrat $
world was upside down! Anyway. 1t
seemed so to him, and he couldn't under
stand it at ALL
The Smiling Pool. the Laughing Brook
and the Green Meadows are Jerry Musk
rats little world. Now, as he sat on the
Big Rock and looked about him the
Green Meadows were as lovely as ever.
He could see no change In them. But
the Laughing Brook had stopped laugh
ing and the Smiling Pool had stopped
smiling. The truth is there wasn't enough
of the Laughing Brook left to laugh, and
there wasn't enough Of the Smiling Pool
left to smile.
1t was dreadful! Jerry looked over
to his house, Of which he had once been
40 proud He had built 1t with the door,
way under water. He had felt perfectly
safe there. because no one, excepting
Billy Mink and little Joe Otter. who can
swim under water, could reach him. Now
| the Smiling Pool had grown SO small that
Jerry's house wasn't in the water at all.
Anyhody who wanted to could get into it.

Cheese for Red Cheeks,
Say the Germans

There is an old German saying that
cheese makes the cheek red. There
Is another saw about cheese that says:
Cheese is peevish elf. it digests all
things but itself" The two sayings
do not harmonic very well, and the
truth probably is that cheese is good
for some persons and bad for others.
1t is often welcome substitute for
meat in the summer. it is appetizing
and does not seem so heavy as meat
and can be prepared In many interest
ing ways
Baked potatoes cooked with cheese
are good. Bake large potatoes and
take off piece from one side Of each.
Scoop out the center of the potatoes
and rub through a sieve. Mix it with
a third of it's own quantity OF Par
mesan cheese grated fine. salt, pepper
the yolks of two. eggs and milk to
mOisten. Beat three egg whites and
fold them into the mixture. Return
1t to the shells and brown them in the
oven.
Cheese souff1e is a good luncheon
dish. To make it mix a tablespoonful
of -four with a tablespoonful and a
half of butter or lard heated in a frying
pan. Add half cupful of milk slowly
and let 1T come to boil. Then add
salt. pepper and cayenne and the
yOlks of three eggs well beaten. Add
g. cupful of grated cheese and pour the
mixture into a bowl to cool. Then
fold in the whites of three eggs beaten
stiff and pour into a buttered baking
pan, rather shallow, and bake for about
twenty minutes in a moderate oven
Cheese fonda is another acceptable
luncheon dish. For this dish add a
pinch of soda to two cupfuls OF milk
and soak cupful Of very dry bread
crumbs in it for an hour. Beat four
eggs and add to the bread and milk,
then add tablespoonful of melted
butter. pepper. salt and mace and a
half pound OF dry cheese grated fine
Put in a buttered baking dish. cover
with crumbs and cover. Bake for half
an hour. Then uncover and brown
quickly. Both this dish and cheese
souffie should be eaten Immediately as
they both fall quickly when they cool.
I Cheese straws are delicious with
salad. To make them roll out pie
crust very thin and sprinkle 1t with
grated cheese and cayenne pepper.
Fold the crust In three layers. roll 1t
out thin again and sprinkle again, with

their long stems, stretched out on the
mud. and looked very. very sick. Jerry
turned toward the Laughing Brook.
There was just a little teeny-weeny
stream of water trickling down the mid
die of 1t, with here and there tiny pool,
in which frightened trout and mnnows
We're crowded. All the secrets of the
Laughing Brook We're exposed, just as
were the secrets of the Smiling Pool.
Jerry knew that If he wanted to find
Billy Mink's hiding places all he need
do would be to walk up the Laughing
Brook and look.
Yes. sir, the world has turned upside
down." said Jerry in a mournful voice.
Il believe 1t has, replied Grandfather
Frog, looking up from the little pool OF
water left at the foot of the Big Rock.
81 know 1t has!' cried Jerry. 81 won
der IL it will ever turn upside up AGAIN.
IF it doesn't what are you going to
do?" asked Grandfather Frog.
L don't know" replied Jerry Muskrat
Here comes Little Joe Otter and Billy
Mink Let's find out what they are go
ing to do"

To Hold the Brides Linen.

One Of the dainty devices to add to
the beauty of the spring brides
household chest is the band of ribbon
to hold piles of sheets, pillowslips, tow
els. tablecloths and napkins in order.
The band is made of pink. lavender,
blue, green or yellow satin ribbon an inch
and a half or two inches wide. 1t is
fastened with small bone clasp and the
ribbon is adjusted to different lengths by
means of bone slides that move back and
forth along the ribbon. A big satin rose
covers the clasp. Two of these straps are
fastened about each pile Of linen.
When the packages of linen are piled
one on top of the other on closet shelves
or in a chest the roses are pulled to the
front of each package; and SO the pack
ages can be unfastened and a towel pull
ed from one. pair of sheets from an
other without disturbing the whole pile.
