Bed Time Tales
.HoHyhOck Dolls
BY Clara Ingram Judson.

"OW did you like your dandelior
III dolls that we talked about few
weeks ago? Didn't you think
It was pretty good fun to make
them? Or maybe you didn't get a
chance to make any that day, OF
perhaps you missed that story en-
tlrely. In any case, you will want
to hear about the hollyhock dolls We
are going to make this summer.
Hollyhock dolls, you say, making
dolls OF flowers?
but you kno.y sometimes you get
tired of common dolls and wish you
had something different.
Let me tell you how to make some
hollyhock dolls.
All through July the tall holly
hooks grow in the yards and by the
roadside.
Some day when you are passing
by, pick some blooms but be sure to
pick one wide open flower and one
tight bud of every color.
When you get BACK home put
them all in pan of water for a
while so they can I'LL their stems
and petals with water-they will last
much longer that way, you see.
Now, when they are all ready. take
a wide open red one and a tight red
bud. Stand the big blossom with
the red part down. That Is the skirt
and part of the waist.
Then take the bud, strip off all the
green and stick the round red ball
firmly onto the stem of the large
flower. Do you see the doll? It's
pretty red skirt and bright red bon
net look very gay and the green
waist makes it look cool.
Now you must make yellow one,
a pink one, some more red ones and
a white.
The white one, of course, is the
queen and must wear a crown, the
yellow and pink are her ladies in
waiting and the red ones, as many
as you can make, are her subjects.
Take them all out under the shade
of a tree or bush where you can
make a throne.
The throne is built from freshly
cut grass, for it is so cool and soft.
or ii you haven't that, take leaves
and twigs till you have a nice round
pile and cover it over with clover
blossoms.

JUDGE DEAN FRANKLIN BENE-
DICT.

/, The many friends here of Judge Dean
Franklin of Macomb will be pleased
to learn that he has Joined the bene-
diets. Says Mondays Macomb Jour
nal:
Though the announcement of Gu
pid's final triumph, which had for some
time been anticipated, was success
fully withheld from interested friends,
the coy little son of Venus cinched
the results of several moons of ap-
parent supremacy Monday afternoon
when Judge Dean Franklin and Miss
Leone Bowman of this city were unit
cd in marriage.
The happy event caused no prelim-
mary suspicion, and Monday morning
when the couple went away on the
7:51, perhaps only two, who accom-
panied them, were aware of the pur-
pose of the sojourn.
The ceremony was performed at 2
o'clock in the parlor of the Mark Twain
hotel at Hannibal, Mo-, Judge Albert

the train returning home. the bride
and bridegroom were the source of
much enjoyment to the passengers to
many of whom they were personally
known.
The. bridegroom, the son of w. J.
Franklin of this city, needs no intro.
duction to the public. his acquaintance
not only being general in this city, but
is extensive throughout the state.
Judge Franklin is a speaker of ability
and possesses a likable personality,
and in addition has a brilliant intel
lect, all of which have combined in
his attainment OF a very considerable
political success. He is a graduate of
the law school of the University of

Mix them with thick custard and
then add a little gelatin, dissolved in
hot milk Chill thoroughly and serve
in glasses with a little whipped cream
on top.
Baby Bunting's Dessert.-Dissolve a
half package of cherry or other gelatin
in a half pint of boiling water. Stir
until dissolved and turn into small
earthern or aluminium molds. When
stiffened, turn out into baby's favorite
dish and surround with a velvety
cream made by whipping stiff the
white of one egg with a ripe banana
that has been peeled free from all
stringy filaments and sliced. The
banana will be entirely dissolved, and
while possessing all the richness and
delicacy of whipped cream the cost
will be much less and the product ex-
tremely digestible.
Pineapple Tapioca.-Soak one cup
full of tapioca in three cupfuls of cold
water for several hours. Cook until
clear. Add a large can of pineapple
grated or cut into small dice, one cup
full of dice and juice being reserved
Bake slowly in a Turk s-head mold, and
when quite done turn out on a deep
plate and fill the we'll in the center of
the pineapple. This recipe can be used
with peaches of cooked apples.
Bread and mullins made with raisins
or dates are more nutritious than when

them far more cordially. Jack Horner
