nECAUSE it is July and the world
IL is full of schoolgirls who want
to "do something what a
phrase it is, do something the
world is equally full of people who
lecture, and very properly, on technical
training and the abolition of genial
willingness and amateur enthusiasm as
substitute for professional prepared
ness, it's time to go back and tell a
fairy tale.
A fairy tale is never rational save as
faith is rational. Who is it-for for
get-who says that the uttermost rO-
nance is the only matter of fact affair ?
Vyvyan Donner-a heroine's name,
I spelling and all. surely-is eighteen, a
little, slim, dark-eyed daughter of the
people, who never studied art and
never even heard of the celebrated
studios of the Continent, where stage
costumes that have turned nations mad
were made, and yet
Here she is in New York, with a will
to believe in success, morning decla-
ration that there is no such thing as
failure, and simply, sweetly, easily,
prayers granted, she finds herself with
a record for having drawn the designs
/ for a great number of the Winter Gar
Gen chorus gowns, and busy night and
day with Ned Wsyburn's new comic
/ opera TO open in the fall.

"Why did you commence by drawing
for the theatre?'
Il had been on the stage for three
wears, and am never so happy as when
am sitting behind the scenes in the
dark listening to the music and plan
ming my costumes. None but the thea
tres would take my work, for an ordi-
nary shop would never stand for my
crazy inspirations" she adds laughing

Wuxtry, all about the big game
Wuxtry, wuxtry, all about lot OF
other things, too.
Read these letters from the special
correspondents of The Tribune Fresh

other things with their own eyes;
ashford Hill, Ardsley, y. Y.
Dear Mr.. Comfy We are having a
corker Of time out here and we play
all kinds of games from s o'clock IN
the morning TO about o'clock in the
night, and then when we are about to

trow it through the window and we
scare some fellow with it.

game with main " and souts and the

She tells of how from the commence
ment of her success she had always had
an idea that the one man she wanted
to work for was Mr.. Ned Wayburn. So
for three whole weeks from early morn
ing until night with the greatest per-
severance did she try to see him. But
in vain. The people around him
guarded him so closely that not a
glimpse of him could she catch. Mr..
Wayburn's assistants implOred her to
only let them peep at what she had to
show, but nothing would induce her to
do so.

laughingly tells, "for by this time they

And her eyes cleaned at the thought
of her own success, which is still a
little strange to her.
She tells of the business of her days

they would want her to work for them,

From the above table it will be
found that cheese is entitled TO be con-
sdcred as directly comparable with
meat, both from a standpoint OF food
values, as we'll as ecoromy.
Since meat has so generally been the
chief protein food of meal, it is not
strange that very many housekcepers
should be inexperienced and consc-
quently unskilful in planning meals in
which cheese is substituted for meat.
Housekeepers would probably find
that if, in planning menus of which
a cheese dish is the chief feature, they
were to take pains to supply also crisp,
watery vegetables, watercress, celery
or lettuce salad, with fruits as dessert,
they would be more successful in pleas
ing those who are served.
The following menus represent COM
binations of dishes which are palatable
and which will supply protein and
energy in the right proportions:

THEIR WISE old UNCLE
BY JENNIE KENNER,

When Appleby broke the news 10
MS young wife that his Uncle Jack
was coming to make them a visit she
expressed pleasure at the prospect as
cheerfully as she could, but she looked
alarmed.
Hes jolly old boy" said Apple.
by. L know you'll like him, Ara
bella"
But I'm afraid he won't like me,
John"
Nonsense, why not, Id like to
know? OF course he'll fall in love
with you at the first glance just as
l did"
FIatterer!" laughed Mrs. Apple
oy. But seriously l know he'll be
scandalized at the way we live"
why, my dear girl, what's the mat
Ter with the way We live? Haven't
we coy little fat, and don't we get
excellent meals in the very first apart
ment below"
Yes, but you know you have told
me yourself that your Uncle Jack has
very rigid, old-fashioned opinions on
the duties of wives. and he'll think
me lazy and incompetent because l
don't cook our own meals myself. I
just know he will"
Yes, Arabella, but you're so quick
and bright, you could learn to cook
In no time. All you need is a little
practice"
But l don't want to practice on
your uncle, Jack! That would be a
fearfully dangerous experiment"
well. then, why not have our meals
sent up?" Appleby asked.
Eyes, We could do it easily. Mrs.
Briggs could send our meals up the
back stairs, and l could put them on
the table and we'd serve them just as
IL they had been cooked in our own lit
tie kitchen. think it's a splendid
plan"
Appleby seized upon the idea eager
ly, for he realized that his uncle was
not likely to look with favor upon
their present mode of life. Inside Of
half an hour they had persuaded Mrs.

Briggs, at whose table they took their
meals, to do her share.
When Uncle Jack arrived he showed
every sign of being highly pleased
with his nephew's wife and their
home. He continually congratulated
the young pair on their good sense in
starting out so early to make a real
home instead Of this internal board
ing" as he called 1t, and at every
meal nearly he praised Mrs. Appleby
for her good housekeeping. And
things did run with astonishing
smoothness.
"Now don't blush, little girl" he
said when the young woman was one
day quite overcome by his warm ap-
probation of the cooking. John is a
mighty lucky chap to have such a
capable helpmeet as you"
Another time she was almost re-
duced to tears when, handing her his
notebook, he asked her to jot down
the rule for the delicious pudding
they had had that night, so that he
could have his housekeeper make It.
ooh, Uncle Jack, I'll have to look in
the book and see," she said. I'll copy
1t for you tomorrow"
Every well, my dear. You see, I'm
anxious to carry home some Of your
culinary secrets"
At this Appleby laughed so uproar-
iously that his wife was obliged to
retreat from the room in disorder,
and when John hastily Joined her she
exclaimed between laughter and tears:
I'm not going to carry ON this de-
ception any longer. I'm ashamed Of
myself"
Don't be ashamed" said Uncle
jack He had followed them unob-
served to the kitchen. They turned
and looked at him in CONSERVATION.
He laughed at their confusion.
"You needn't be ashamed Of the de-
ception, for there wasn't any" he
went on. II came out here the very
first day of my visit to black my
shoes, and Mrs. Briggs maid was just
bringing up the soup for dinner and
she told me all"
"And you've been having a bit Of
fun with u.s." young Appleby said
grumpily.
"Well, I thought 1t was a good joke,
and q clever one, too. Now, Arabella,
I'll tell you what 1 wish to give you
as q parting present, my dear-a
course at the domestic science school"
"Oh, Uncle Jack" she laughed,
that makes US more than even, but
I'll accept 1t gladly."-Chicago Daily

TO MY DEPARTED FRIEND JNo. C.
GEYNoR
He's passed away this friend OF mine
From off this earthly sphere
There are no bells or silvery chime
To tell of his past career.
When hearts were young and strong with Love
He frightened many a path
OF those whom over trouble hove
His cheerfullness and friendly chat.
And liberal charity with which he kept
Locked in his heart and no one knew
The honest heart in which it slept
As pure and sparkling as the dew.
His last sad days were spent in pain
But in his heart as pure as gold,
He never whispered complained,
OF deeds done he never told.
But in a mansion up above,
There is a record kept Of this,
He'll be received with open Arms OF Love,
And remain forever in heavenly Bliss
