MR. SUMS BIRTHDAY.

The Children had seen old Mr.. Sun
on his way to bed. He had been as
red rs could be and very, very enor'

was up TO, and We're not surprised at
all when Daddy said:
"Mr sun had a Birthday Party this
afternoon and the Gnomes were in.
vitcd He told his Guests to come
just a little while before it was time
for him to 60 to bed.
"Well.' said Peter Gnome, you

No. a7--Braised Beef.

While visiting at the beautiful
home of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Dex-
ter recently, decided that ! would
kill two birds with one stone, so to
speak, for this department, by as
certaining the favorite meat dish OF
each. Elliott Dexter, as YOU know,
is the handsome leading man at the
Morosco studios, while Mrs. Dex-
ter, better known as Marie Doro, is
one Of the Famous Players most
popular stars.
Even our tastes regarding meats
are the same" laughed pretty Mrs.
Dexter in answer to my inquiry.
Both Elliott and myself are very
fond of braised beef, in fact we
prefer this even to poultry In
accordance with my plans an
nounced in a previous installment,
Braised Beef is therefore elected as
my next recipe.
Wipe with damp cloth and trim
six pounds rump beef without
bone. Scar brown on all sides in
very hot frying-pan over hot fire,
In braising-pan or iron kettle place
layers of sliced onions, turnips and
carrots; add bunch of sweet herbs,
one teaspoon salt, one-half tea
spoon pepper; on this lay meat.
Add one pint boiling water Tor

said Il see the immediate present.

job "What kind of a job?' asked

sit down and write your reasons for
believing President Wilson should be
re- elected And the youthful appi-
cant wrote: President Wilson
should be reelected because he has
done all that a President could do for
our country and more than others
would have done during their term of
office He has kept us out of the hor-
rible European war, which, according
to my judgment, was feature which
other Presidents might not have done.
There are many other good deeds be-
side, and because of all these good
deeds, he, Mr. Wilson. should be re-
elected by the people for whom he has
done so much" Persons who looked
