please? I love her very much--Jo-
sephine."
One of the little orphaned girls,
named Jenny. was given the doll. and
she said:
Every night when say my prayers
I'm going to say one for the little girl
who gave me Josephine
Il hope she'll get well soon. so she
ean have her doll TO love her again.
I'm taking good care OF her and 1 love
her just the way she said must. But
I'd do that, anyway, for I never had a
doll before. and I've wanted one all
my life"
On, yes. it's only the acts and the
talk OF children. but out OF the mouths
of such as these cometh wisdom! Jo-
sephine. who evidently had much, gave
that which she loved greatly to one
who had nothing. The wise child
knew that her precious doll would be
best loved by one who had no doll.

SECOND YEAR OF
MARRIED LIFE.

Helen had never before had War
ren's whole family to dinner. They
had planned for it last New Years,
but Warren's father had been taken i'll
so the dinner had been cancelled.
Christmas dinner was always with
his parents, and this year his sister
Carrie was TO have the family at New
Years. So Thanksgiving u TO Helen.
With all her heart she dreaded 1t.
For the first time her ability as a
hOusekeeper and hostess would be
thoroughly tested by his people.
And in SO many ways she was at
disadvantage. Her dining room was
small-the ten people would crowd 1t
uncOmfOrtably. Also the services of
the ten would strain the resources of
her china closet and pantry.
But she must make it a success!
The thought of Carrie and her
larger apartment. larger dining room
and better equipped kitchen. Yet
Helen determined that Carrie should
have no better dinner.
For days she studied the Thanks
giving menus in all the November
home and housekeeping magazines.
But they were all so elabOrate-nOne
of them could she follow entirely
Arranging the Menu.
This morning she cleared the dining
room table, and now. with all the mag
azines spread before her, she began
10 write out on a large sheet Of paper
a menu compiled from them all.
There was so much TO consider in
making up this menu-the number of
people, the cost, the fact that there
was no one 10 serve il but Della. After
much pondering over the magazines,
much nibbling Of the end If her pen
ell and much consultation with Della,
Helen finally wrote out the dinner:
Grape fruit with maraschinO cherries.
Cream OF tomato soup.
Celery, olives slated with almonds.
Roast turkey. chestnut stutting.
Cranberry sauce. Blackberry PIE
sweet potatoes. Baked squash
Asparagus.
Salad a la Ninaigrette.
Bread sticks. (Three at each plate
tied with orange and red ribbon.)
Plum pudding, wine sauce.
Sweet cider. Coffee.
Nuts. fruits. fOnbOns, raisins.
The only dish with which Helen was
not thoroughly familiar was the salad
a la vinaigrette And she had chosen
that for the decorative qualities, as
shown bv the illustration. She knew
that no dish could ever be made to
look like a magazine illustration, but
she thought II she followed the direc-
tions very carefull' this fancy salao
could be made most attractive.
on another piece of paper. Helen
now began TO figure up the cost. War
rem had said last night, Now there's
no sense in splurging in this dinner
You ought to be able to get up a
pretty decent meal for ten people for
twenty dollars-that's two dollars a
plate You can dine anywhere for
that"
Could She Do IL?
Twenty dollars-cOuld she get 1t up
what Here she began TO ngure.
They had decided that two small tur-
lIevs would be better than one very
large one as the two would give a
greater selection Of parts. Everybody
always wanted the breast or the first
joint.
Two ten pound turkeys at 30c a
Douud would be $500. Then the
crane fruit, five at 25c apiece, would
be s1.25.
But She crossed out these figures
and began over again. She would
write them down with the prices in
the order they came on the menue and
then add theDo all m together

half-witted.

lies drive the Germans out of France

Germans can not be made to realize
the meaning and penalties of real
warfare until it is brought home to
them by desolated towns, ravaged
country sides and the suffering of her
women and children. The allies are a
long way from evening the score with
Germany and that country may sue
for peace before victorious allies
reach the Rhine. When defeat is made
certain the rulers of Germany will
probably accept peace on any terms
to escape the dire results that would
follow the invasion of their country.
Germany could not suffer more than
have Belgium and France, but seeing
what they themselves have done to
these countries the Germans know
what Germany would have to expect
from the invading allies.
