There was great mirth and merri.
ment in Fairyland the other day." said
Daddy, when every little Fairy, and
the Queen of the Fairies, received an
invitation to Tea-Dance to be CIV
en- the following afternoon in Lily
Pond by Mrs. Quack Duck.
1T was the funniest kind of Party
you can possibly imagine. In the first
place Mrs. Quack Duck had heard that
Dancing was very fashionable up in
Grown-Up-People's world, so she de-
cided she would lead the fashion in
the Lily Pond.
Now Lily Pond was the Pond al
ways chosen by the Ducks when they
wanted to have an especially fine
party. Of course they wouldn't have
enjoyed any Party not in some scrt
of a Pond as you know how the Ducks
love the water.
We'll, when they were all invited
to be at Lily Pond at three o'clock
promptly they knew it would be a
very grand affair.
Mrs. Quack Duck was dressed in
her very best. She wore black and
white speckled dress, which looked
very fine. She greeted her guests
with many 'Quack-quacks', which in
the Duck world means 'How-do-you-do.
She made the Fairies her very best
courtesies which were so funny the
Fairies could hardly keep from laugh
ing. But as they didn't want to hurt
Mrs. Quack Ducks feelings they
looked very solemn.
Mrs. Quack Duck then began to
give directions. She told all her
Guests they must take their Partners
for the Duck-Wobble which was a
Dance she had invented in their hon.
or. And first she gave them an ex-
hibition of how it should be Danced
IAN the Ducks certainly Wobbled
with great deal of ease, for it seemed
to be just the Dance made for them.
They thought they were very graceful
but how you Children would have
laughed if you could have seen this
party!

those who Danced the Duck k-Wobble

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children Drink2

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drin that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite Of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sys-
TEN and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting friend l was
served with Postum and l determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage. Since l quit cor
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
"My husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking conee'
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better with no
Indication of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure I find 1t a great
comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that / can give my children,
with a clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

softened by dipping them into hot
water, then the toast was spread gen.
erously with butter, laid on platter
