or have communion with them that
would pine away and die such need
they fill in my life. remember when
quite a child ! used to make frequent
excursions into the country there to
spend days and even weeks. l never
left the parental abode without first
bidding goodbye to all the trees and
they were among the first to receive
my greeting upon my return.
We had number of trees a few
years ago, which had lived the brief
span OF life accorded to this particular
species and 1t became necessary for
the safety of life and limb that they
be removed. recall how / hated the
thought of seeing an axe sunk into
these trees and actually hated the
man who was engaged to do the work

to me they were dear and devoted
friends. When the time came that
they were to be cut down I hied my
self to other pastures" feeling that
could not witness the Staying OF my
adorable companions.

OF these streets was the principal
thoroughfare of this village and the
other was It's main residential street.
Recently the little town began to put
on airs and orders were issued that
the trees all of them be remoyed-in
order that the streets might be i'm

more the appearance Of a city. Imme-
diately a storm OF protest went up
from an irate public and meetings were
called and law suits instituted, but to
no avail-the edict went forth and the
trees were slain.

A Near Tragedy.

A tragedy was narrowly averted last
evening by the timely interference OF
couple of young women. These
young women were enjoying to the
utmost the coolness and quiet OF a
summer evening, when suddenly the
stiffness was broken by the shrill cries
OF number OF robins, which came
from spot on the lawn where the
shrubbery Is dense. Knowing that
the birds were in distress and needed
assistance they hurried to the spot
from whence issued the sound and i'm.
Ngine their chagrin, when there emery.
ed therefrom an ugly half grown mall
tese cat bearing in her blood-thirsty
mouth young robin. Then the chase
began-so determined were these
women to rob the maurader Of its sup.
per even IL the young robin could not
be saved-over the lawn across the
roadway and into a neighbor's yard
they went goaded on In their mad
pursuit by the frantic cries of the par.
Tent birds and the fainter ones of the
young one. It was dusk and In the ex-
citement of the chase the cat and its
victim were lost sight of. Soon the
low cries of the robin were heard again
and investigation soon brought to view
the cat with its pretty prey crouching
on an elevated porch. Access was
soon obtained to the porch.
One OF the fair rescuers perhaps a
little more courageous than the other
bounced upon this cat and beat her
numerically while the other gathered
the badly frightened bird into her
hands.
Throwing the cat to the ground the
young woman listened attentively hop
ing to hear her bones crunch as she
hit the ground but instead she bound
ed up as would rubber ball.
Tenderly the bird was taken to the
home across the way and placed In a
hastily improyised nest and left for
the night with no thought that It would
survive, but Joy to behold, when the
box was opened this morning a pretty
young robin looking none the worse
for his experience chirped happily and
contentedly. He was then placed in
latticed box and taken to safe
shelteH where his cries soon attract,

Therefore, your table must not only
be filled with notlrishing food, well

note to the simplest meal.
Perhaps there was time in the
early ages Of the world when hunger
was always SO keen that food in any
form was welcomed and bolted. But
civilization has changed things. Food
must satisfy the sense Of sight as well
as those OF taste and smell. Any good
cook book will tell you dozens of ways
of preparing specific dishes SO they
will be nourishing, but you must learn
how TO dress your table with them so
as to make the table attract. In serv-
ing food care must be taken to have
each dish brought to the table pre-
senting an appearance OF careful ar
rangement. There must never be a
suggestion Of overlooking OF any dish,
splitting Of grayies, sauces, etc.
The proper use Of color IN meals is
tremendously important. II is the
thing that many housewives lack. The
color OF the various meats and sauces
should be as different from each other
as possible. from one course to anoth.
er. For instance, # you serve a fish
course and have for 1t white sauce
you must not follow with meat course
with white sauce also; rather have a
brown sauce.
In serving vegetables, do not serve
potatoes and cauhflower both white;
but rather serve a green vegetable
with white. Hak the pleasure OF
eating salads Is the fact that they Of
fer such exceptional opportunities for
using various colors-partIcularly the
fruit salads.
Then, too. sprig Of green served
with the Drowned roast makes the
dish much more attractive and appe-

Husbands who want to take dinner
downtown often, as they express 1t,
"just for change" are often impelled
by the lack of variety and color in
their meals at home. The restaurant
or hotel food seems more appeuzing
because It is served with some regard
for the importance Of color and varie-

elects the important point.

Persons who have formed the con-
clusion from recent developments
that the country is in for an early
"wet" spell, which will continue un-
til it goes permanently dry on Jan
16 next under the provisions of the
national constitutional amendment
may find themselves mistaken. The
latest reliable indications are that
the wartime prohibition ban is far
from lifted and that the time is not
now in sight when the country will
go "wet" again, if indeed it ever
does.
President Carranza of Mexico has
reiterated emphatically that ne
would not be a third term candidate
asserting that he preferred to turn
the Office over to a man elected by
poplar vote and to return to private
life. He said that he deemed the bill
recently introduced in the senate
granting amnesty to all former enc
mes of the government, who are now
supporting it in good faith, to be I'M
wise at the present time. He thought
however, that such leniency might
be extended after the elections.
