Breakfast in sumner should
be a light and nourishing meal, so
dainty that it will appeal to the lag
ging appetite and sufficiently substan-
tial to supply the needed nutriment.
Fruit is a good beginning to the first
meal of the day, and at this season
of the year nothing is quite so nour-
ishing as cantaloupe served in some
way. Eggs are always welcome

scurity. While in possession of the
Crusaders its fame had gone all
over Europe, but from the end of
the twelfth to the beginning of the
nineteenth century it was virtually
forgotten and no European saw it
until Burckhardt, the celebrated
traveller, visited it In 1872
Still, on account of difficulty of
access and of danger from the wild
tribes living In its vicinity, it was
seen by very few travellers during
the whole of the nineteenth century.
Within the last decade, however,
the Turkish government has made
regulations that have removed many
of the obstacles to visitors. Among
the most recent visitors to Petra
are Lee Garnet Day and Joseph
Wood, ]r, who describe their visit
in the American Museum Journal.

was visited by the Emperor Hadrian.
1t owed its prosperity to the fact that
it lay on the great caravan route from
the east to Europe, but after the rise
OF Palmyra, the desert capital of
Queen Zenobia, Petra began to de-
cline, and its commerce was diverted.
In the early centuries of our era
Petra was Christianized, but the

Girl Workers
Who WIN Out
The Maid Who Learned How
10 Make Good
BY JANE M'LEAN.

Celia was what is known as maid
OF all work. That is, she cooked,
cleaned and washed for her living
Sometimes she Jared well, and some
times there were places where even
her simple demands were refused and
then II was she was forced to move
on and search for a new place. She
did not demand much. She wanted a
clean room and little time to her
self. What Celia really needed was
understanding. She did not mind
hard work, for she was strong and
well, but she liked an occasional kind
word and CHEEKY smile, for even in
her simple mind those things meant
life.
When she went back to the intelli-
gence office after losing her last place
the woman greeted her none too
pleasantly.
why don't you specialize in some
thing she said quickly. Il have po-
sitions for cooks and ladies' maids.
Do you think you could try some
thing like that"
Celia knew that she could not cook
deliberately enough to 70 out as a
cook. She could do well enough for
ordinary requirements, but her spe-
cialties were nothing extra. A ladies'
maid she did not want to be. Weren't
there any positions for general house
workl she inquired timidly.
i have one here, five in family,
ministers wife. Think you'd like
that" And the woman looked up.
It'll be hard. but you might as well
try IT,"
We'll, they want you right away.
here's the address. You can 60 right
up" And once more the woman bent
over her huge book while Celia made
her way out to the street.
The street that Celia had on the
slip of paper was not in a fashion
able neighborhood A tired little
woman with sweet face opened the
door to her ring, and she smiled very
sweetly as she said:
You must he the new maid. Won't
YOU come right inl You'll find
things pretty well upset, but have
had so much to do all alone.'
Celia smiled in response and fol-
lowed the little woman upstairs to a
very plain, very clean little room with
a comfortable looking bed and pic
ture OF baby hung over a little oak
dresser.
This is your room. The nursery
is right down the hall. | have three
children" and the little woman's face
lighted up as il that possession were
the dearest in the world. Would you
like to see them2 They are getting
ready for bed now. put them to bed
at five-thirty every night" r.
Celia had never been treated with
such an air of equality before; it
made her feel happier somehow. and
she did like children if they were nice
children.
Here they are" said the mother.
Donald, this is Celia, she's going to
help mother take care of you. Saw
how do you do, Howard, and baby,
cant you smile littlei This is my
little girl, Rose Marie"
The children all crowded about
Celia and again that little feeling OF
belonging swept to her heart. After
ward when she was following Mrs.
Townsend downstairs she said i'm
pulsiyely, Il think I'll like it here"
! hope you will was the quick
response. The work won't be easy,
but we are all very happy. and there's
plenty to love"
And Celia resolutely squeezed back
q tear, little chary Of showing that
she was silly enough to cry because
she was happy,

WOMEN CAN FRUIT
FOR THE CHILDREN
Tots at Child Saving Institute
to Have Fruit to Eat This
Winter.
CARDS ARE SENT OUT
BY MELLIFICIA--Aug. FL.

When you are enjoying the ie-
licious fresh fruits OF the summer or
the choice contents Of your pre-
served fruit jars in the winter, do you
ever think OF those who cannot in
dulge their liking for fruit1 Do you
ever consider that the health OF some
one else beside yourself demands the
eating of wholesome fruit? The lit
tie ones at the Child Saving Institute
need large amount of fruit in their
simple diet, for children, almost more
than grown-ups, need light, refresh
ine foods. An effort has always been
made to provide this necessity for
them at luncheon and at the evening
meal. But those in charge of the in
stituticn have all they can do 10 per-
form their regular duties and have
little time to spend in canning fruit.
This has always made the winter sup
ply Of canned fruit inadequate.
In an effort to remedy this lack
Mrs. Charles Kountze and her help
ers are sending out to at least 800
persons cards bearing this request;
will you please save the Child Saw
ing Institute one or more jars of
each kind Of fruit that you can this
summer" They are sending these
requests with the hope that from
the recipients of the cards and their
friends a liberal response will come,
and the seventy little tots at the home
will show their gratitude by whole
some, hearty growth.
