WHICH DISH

Sometimes the housekeeper Is a little
annoyed when the new maid comes TO
her and asks, (which dish shall put the
fruit in? What plate do you use for the
bread? Do you like the soup served at
table or In the kitchen"
Really this question of which dish to
use is an important one, especially IN the
spring, when the appetite needs proven
bal coaxing 4 dainty dessert served
piled untidily into thick, clumsy dish
Is not tempting And rice pudding of the
most ordinary sort can be made a thing
to tempt a squeamish appetite if it is
daintily served in little glass dishes
Remember this Us spring comes on
You doubtless have plenty of dishes, but
If YOU can afford to buy one new one, buy
a dainty glass dessert dish, if you have
none. Get one that Is simple and durable
so that the buy wont be an extravaganza
Or else get glass baking dish You have
no idea how much more tempting a stew
cooked and served in a glass casserole is
than one cooked in a pot and piled pell-
nell on a heavy platter. And "A pie served
IN the glass plate in which it was baked is
also more enticing than one served in a
coarse kitchen plate.
Then there are some special dishes that
add TO the tempting Of the foods served

most Of us get along without them special
dishes for asparagus. special glass cups

THE ANIMALS DISCUSS
THE MARCH HARE

Mr.. Fox was looking out of his window
one morning and noticed that MIR. Rab-
bit was running down the path with queer
jumps and bounds.
"Now, what in the world can be the
matter with him? thought Mr.. Fox, put
ting on his hat and running out to watch.
He met Mr.. Squirrel running along the
path and he told him what he had seen.
mi. Rabbit acted so queer that came
out to see what he WAS up to, he told MIR.
Squirrel. =,
"Oh, expect he has gone madf' said
Mr.. Squirrel "You know he belongs to a
very queer family. Did you ever hear the
expression mad as a March hare?"
Perhaps Mr. Rabbit inherits that trait,
and he may be mad this very minute.
BY the time Mr.. Rabbit returned MIR.
Fox and Mr.. Squirrel had told some of
their friends and there were Mr. Coon and
MIR. Possom and MIR. Badger all sitting on
the ground talking about him. When they
saw Mr.. Rabbit they all moved away, for
by this time they were quite sure he was
