CINCH robin story no onSeris

from the melting snow rush by on
every side; the Easter-fashlon cata-
loglle already is at hand; the millinery

time message is con-
tanned in a bunch of catkins which
came in the mail to the Man About
Town yesterday-and the postmark on
the package is Henderson, With the
package came this message: How Is
this for the Occur d'Alene branch?'
The sender is +. G. Lemke, who takes
position as the only original harbinger
of spring and is welcomed accord
ingly. There are a good many folks,
probably, who will have to ask where
Henderson is situated. 1t is in the
snow belt, between st. Regis and Sal
tese. One time it was in the heart OF
the fire zone, but it now acquires new
fame as the home n of Gentle
Spring. The pussy-WilloWs from Hem
derson are the real thing; there is no
doubt of that, The Mar About Town
welcomes them as substantiation COM
plete of the groundhog's prognostica-
ton. The thoughtful sender is thanked.
There is rejoicing everywhere. We
care not what storms March nay
bring: they will be merely bluffs;
spring is in our midst and Lemke is
her prophet with Henderson as head
quarters. We know it because we
have the pussy-willows and they are
the real article. ..

west of the city hall, upon which there
has been successful navigation for
three days and the small boy is now
planning to have a regatta as an aux
iliary to his usual spring sporting pro-
gram. There were all sorts of queer
craft sailing about yesterday on this
lake. There are places on the south
side where pedestrians would welcome

There are a good many of these letters
which come to the Man About Town in
the course of a year. They tell of
m0thcr-lovc and of mothers heart
aches. The boys are careless and
thOughtlcSs and just forget to write
home, They do not realize the grief
which their silence causes. Some
times the notice in his column brings
quick response. Sometimes no word
comes of the missing boy. Always,
there should he a willingness on the
part of anybody who can do so, to fur
nish information which will relieve the
anxiety which these letters make so
painfully apparent.

temperature lowered around the

great deal of the water that has been
standing in great pools drained away
and settled. There was a very light
fall of snow during the early morning
hours but not enough to make the

NUTS IN COOKERY.

Bietiticians give nuts valued place
in the list of wholesome foods, but we
are prone to forget that they are a
concentrated form of food, and az
our diet needs bulk, to keep the diges-
tive machinery in good working order,
they should be used with foods that
give that added bulk.
Nut are rich in protein and fats and
some have, like the chestnut. srnaif
amount of starch. One reason why
many people find nuts hard to digest
is because of imperfect mastication.
A most delicious omelet may be pre-
pared with an accompaniment Oh
blanched almonds. Just before turn
'ng in the omelet put half cup Oh
almonds in the pan. pour on the ONE
