~ MARY GRAHAM. Nj BONNER ; {, OlNsIlNsSE
MR.. GIANTS PARTY.

"Wel1," said Mr.. Giant, as he went
walking along the slushy woods with
his great, tall boots on, 81 think will
have to call on the Brownies and the
Gnomes today and see what they are
up to-" L
He went along, splashing with his
enormous feet, and thinking to him
self, "What q day this would be for a
Slush Party
Now, there are very few people or
animals who know just what slush
party is. They cannot imagine having
a party on slushy day, but the little
Creatures of the Woods know how to
enjoy every minute, and they love all
the days that come. Rain, slush, snow,
heat, cold-all sorts of weather and
all sorts of days-and on every one
they can find something to do.
Soon Mr.. Giant came across Witty
Witch taking a walk. She had her
black cape, and great, tall black hat
on, and she carried a crooked stick
with knots in it. On the top of the
stick was wooden Parrot.
"Good morning, Witty Witch" said
Mr.. Giant. care you feeling like your
name today?"

have wide overhang, which is one Of
the most inviting features of bun
galow. The wide caves and the low
pitch of the roof have another effect,
also, in bungalow construction.
The bungalow at its best is built
very close to the ground. In cold eli
mates such result cannot be obtained
because of the necessity of having a
basement that is adequate to hold
heating plant. The same lOw-built eff
feet is obtained by building the bun
galOw with wide caves and with fiat
pitched roof.
This bungalow is built far enough
above the ground SO that basement
can be provided with the necessary
windows and without too much exca-
vation. The porch also aids material
ly in getting this same effect of being
close to the ground. 1t is very broad
and is built under a separate gable
from the house. The broad, fiat roof
and the heavy porch pillars give it a
cozy, inviting appearance.
The floor plan calls for five rooms
that are arranged in convenient
style. On one side of the house is the
living room, dining room and kitchen,
and on the other is the bathroom and
two bedrooms.
The main entrance to the house is
through a door at one corner of the
living room. This room is of good
size, being Is by 13 feet. A big fire
place occupies almost one side of the
room. 1t is almost necessary to have
a big fireplace in a bungalow, as no
house of this type would seem to be
complete without one. 1t is generally
placed in the living room, though it
may be in the dining room or some
time in a small den built off the living
room. On either side of the fireplace
in this design is a narrow bookcase
with a window over each one. There
is also a wide window facing out onto
the front porch. Plenty of wall space
is provided, so that some carefully.
chosen furniture can be obtained tc
fit in with the general scheme of this
room.
In back of the living room, and con
nected to it by double swinging doors
is the dining room. This room has 6
convenient built-in sideboard, anG
| there is also a side entrance to the
house that opens into it.
In the kitchen is the inside entrance
to the basement, which also has al

candles, green shamrOcks for place
cards, and joke favOrs of various wrig-
gly spiders and snakes may be used
in appropriate boxes. Small pots of
shamrock may be used as top to the
ice cream, served in small flower pots,
wax paper lined.
The menu may consist of a variety
of good things, depending upon the
pOcketbook, time to be spent in prepa-
ration and ones taste.
For a beginning salmon canape or
any kind desired, served on toast, cut
in the form of the shamrock.
Salmon mixed with salad dressing,
spread over the buttered toast, then
sprinkled so generously over the fish
that it makes a solid green color. Use
cress or parsley stems for the stem
of the shamrock.
Creamed chicken may be served in
small croustades of bread, with the
edges decorated with finely minced
green peppers, or cress may be used, if
the pepper is served in some other
dish.
Watercress salad cannot be improved

Shamrock SaIad.-Mix cream with
cream cheese to the consistency to
mold, add seasonings of salt and red
pepper and press this into green pep
pers that have been cut off at the
stem end with seeds and white MEM
branes removed. If one is careful
about chosing the shapely peppers,
when sliced in half-inch slices they are
shaped like a shamrock with the -
edge of green, making most attract
i've cheese or salad. Serve as a salad
with mayonnaise and garnish with a
radish tulip if desired.
Butter rolled in chopped parsley,
small cakes decorated with pistachiO
nuts; ice cream or ices served colored
green, will all carry out the color
scheme.

happy, and that want some fun. I'm
on my way now to see if the Brownies
and Gnomes aren't feeling like a good
old-fashioned frolic in all this delicious
slush."
''The very thing wanted to do too,"
said Mr.. Giant, and his voice was SO
loud that from all around the Gnomes
and the Brownies kept appearing.
"Hello, Mr.. Giant" they shouted
''Hello, Witty Witch, are you going
to tell us stories?'
"No,'' said Witty Witch, "there are
to be no stories until evening. We've
come to ask you to have frolic. The
slush is so NICE"
Its wonderful" said the Brownies
and Gnomes.
Apd they then began to play! Such
games as they had. They made houses
and castles and palaces, for the slushy
snow stuck together so well. Then
they threw snowballs and they all got
so wet! And trying to dodge the
snowballs, Of course, they fell down in
the slush.
They laughed so hard and they kept
getting more soaked and more drench-
ed all the time, but how they loved it
eve only get slush at just this time
of year." said the Brownies.
"Well, We'll have a good deal more
of it before the next few weeks are
over with,'' said Witty Witch.
'"That's good" said Mr.. Giant.
''Hurrah," said the Gnomes.
'I shall now bring on the Animals
of Giant-land," said Mr.. Giant.
"Ah," said Witty Witch, mo wonder
| you wanted a frolic today" For all
knew that Mr. Giant had some very
finely trained Animals that were only
known to the Giant World, and to the
little Gnomes and Brownies because
they are such friends Of Mr.. Giant

ber of dogs who looked like Chinese
Chow Dogs, carrying in their mouths
the flag Of Giant-land. 1t is large
yellow flag and on it is picture made
in black silk of Mr.. Giant in his top
boots.
Then came some Birds who flew back
wards. If they had not been a little
above the Animals they certainly
would have bumped back and forth,
for they flew backwards no matter
which way the Chow Dogs turned. And
the Dogs kept turning back too, for
most of the Animals walked backwards
and for those who didn't, the Chows
would sometimes have to go on
straight ahead.
There were the Squirrels who rode
on the backs of the little black Ponies,

just as attractive way as is possible
and 1t is her work to attend to such
service, but often the overworked
mother finds it necessary to be both
nurse and housekeeper and she also
must know how.
The daintiness Of the tray and it's
accessories as well as the food served
is of the first importance. A light tray,
large enough to hold all necessary
equipment and one easily cleaned,
should be chosen. Spotless linen, the
prettiest china arranged to look well,
adds not a little to the invalid's pleas
ure. A few flowers or one laid across
the napkin or placed in small vase
is always a source of delight to the
eye, or when these are not obtainable
a spray of rose geranium will add to
the beauty of the service. In case of
contagious diseases, paper plates, cups,
napkins may be purchased and after
ward burned, with the lace paper dol
lies which may be purchased in pack
ages, the beauty Of the tray need not
be entirely sacrificed to satisfy.
After the liquid foods which are
the first foods for the very i'll, comes
the semi-solid foods which are Gus
tards, eggs, jellies, fruits and cereals.
Cereals should be subjected to long,
slow cooking to be safe food for an
invalid or children. Milk toast is an
other semi-solid food which is usually
enjoyed.
One OF the important points to re-
member in serving an invalid is to
have all hot foods hot. and cold foods
cold. Often long trip upstairs will
cool the food. It should be carefully
covered, or placed over hot water, to
reach the patient In good condition.
A combination Of fruit with cereal
is particularly wholesome and appe.
tlzing to an invalid. Prunes cooked
until soft, then rubbed through a sieve
and served in a small mound in the
