that my warlike spirit faltered. But
finally the nan who occupied the room
next to mine came to my apartment,
armed with a large iron poker, and
said that 1 had kept him awake for
three nights, and the limit had been
reached. If l didn't chase myself out
of the house and let him have a nights

"Since that experience l look upon

can't drop into his Office every day or

food she prepares, but the high class
male cook is a past master at the art
of garnishing.
And 1t is a very good idea for the
woman who would do the thing un-
usual to look about her in the restaur-
ants and hotels she visits to get tips
In this matter of garnishing. Some
times the simplest thing. which may
be easily copied at home. are the most
effective. Indeed. the over-ornatc gar
nish is something TO be avoided.
One interesting tea room does this
with Its broiled fish orders. 1t serves
two slices of lemon with each order
of fish. one covered with naprika. one
literally sprinkled with black pepper.
These bits OF lemon are both useful
and decorative.
hotel restaurant serves a fresh
leaf, well washed of course, with each
order of halved grape fruit. The leaf
sparkling with water. is placed on top
of the half of grape fruit.
Another hotel restaurant uses tiny
pyramid of whipped cream, pressed
through tube, as a garnish to toma-
to bisquc.
Egg white shredded with a knife
is used as a garnish for chicken salad
a a place where this delicacy is a
speciality.
Strips of toast. narrow. crisp and
evenly Drowned. are used to garnish
creamed Goldfish in a business mems
restaurant
You see, all these garnishes mean
something. They add to the taste as
well as the appearance Of the dish
which they accompany. And that is
what a real garnish should do. The
purely decorative garnish is not half
so worth while as the one that IL also
edible and an addition to the taste Of
food value of the dish. The leaf in the
case of grape fruit is an exception. But
there arc always exceptions.

 For the
 PuIdSkiQn 

To start out with, l went over into the Jacksonville country in a Ford with Mir. Nelson, expecting to return in a day or two, but we got snow bound and had to leave the car. Now we have to go back after it. MT. Nelson being uneasy about his home affairs, returned with his son, Count, Sunday morning. 1 having business to attend to in Little Rock, remained for the 2 D. m. train Monday. When l got off the train at Ledwidge a man handed me a note and asked me if 1 could tell him where to find the person named in it. I told him l could, as MT. Austin, the person named, lived just across the road from me, and that he could go along if he wished to. We found the going pretty hard in the deep snow. Most of the way there were just the tracks of two persons ahead of Us, those of Mir. Nelson and son. We made the trip in three hours, arriving at Wye at dusk. When saw Mir. Nelson he had hard luck story to tell me of his trip. He got to Ledwidge at 6 a. m. and found the snow about 20 inches deep and in drifts nearly waist deep. He was only able to walk about one mile an hour and arrived at NIT. Hanly's at one o'clock, where he borrowed a horse and rode the rest of the way. He froze his feet and ears twice on the way.
 In going to my homestead, just before 1 got to the Maumelle river, I met Mir. Mathis small son and asked him how about the crossing. He informed me that 1t was swim ming, but that l might get across on a foot log. 1 mentally resolved that if had as bright looking boy as he 1 would not allow him to risk his life swimming a mule across a swol- len river, but people who live on riv- CTS soon become accustomed to them and suppose the boy was better qualified to cross 1t than most men, besides they had just moved up from the Arkansas river so the Maumelle looks little to them. We'll, 1 went to Squire McNeely's foot log and waded out to the main log over which the water was tumbling while the log next to the far bank had washed away 1 returned to the ford and yelled across for the boa, but the wind was from that direction and I could make no one hear. Then 1 saw the boat edgeways in the water washed up against a tree and knew l could not get across and started

to leave when a little voice whis- pered into my ear, 50 you give. it up, do you?' l replied, sYes. Well" the voice answered, T am the Wandering Fairy, now listen and look and see what can do for you. I listened and heard a whistle across the river and looked over to see John McNeely on a gray horse. Then l thought of the old song the boys used to sing in the Austin, Texas, postoffice away back in 1880. It went like this: ''Rain, rain, rain all around, 'taint goin' to rain no mo. :"
 q looked over wander and what think 1 see? An old gray horse come trotting out of the wilderness, etc. "
 When he got across he offered 10 put me over if l would ride behind him, as his steed was only young lilly, which he was training, l at first refused, but upon being assured we could make 1t, l finally risked it and made it all right with only my right foot getting wet. Being across l felt much encouraged, because sthe Wan dering Fairy was with me once more. She remained with me and helped me fight forest fire away from my lumber. Then when Saturday came l returned to Wye for church and Sunday school
 On my other trip back got to MT. Sehoenfields just in time for dinner and ate there. Albert Tams was there for dinner also. This time l stopped at Mr. Nelson's to see when we were to start over after his car. They were eating dinner and Albert was there also. They had been kill ing hog and he was helping. Mrs. Nelson certainly had fine dinner When we got through Albert return ed home, but before l left he was back wanting Mir. Nelson to help fight fire. Chas. Eschbach had come up in the meantime, so he went over with MT. Nelson. 1 went on home and reported the fire at the P. O. In little while a general alarm was sent out for help and the Farmers Union, which was in session, ad iourned to fight fire 1 went up also then, as did many others, even the two young lady school teachers, Misses Beardsley and Holbrook. l enjoyed this fire fighting more than the other, because 1 had company. By back firing the fire was gotten under control before night and no damage was done except to the grass and even that will be benefited by 1t if spring is really here. The fire looked very pretty on the hill tops at night It looked like cities set on hills.
 There were two fires out at Wye at the same time, one south and one west This one got away from a young farmer cleaning up land. Ii was very hard to control because the snow had mashed the tall grass flat to the earth and one bunch of 1t al ways reached to the next. These fires injures the soil and kills out the wild fruit, but they improve the health, keep down the brush and are probably of a greater benefit than disadvantage. They kill off the ticks much more successfully than did
