turned up at the end and almost met
her nose.
%, my fine lady, SO you do not want
me AZ your feasting table" cried the
old witch. showing as she spoke, two
long teeth which were sl she had,
Wen. as YOU do not wish me TO re-
main, wifi so, but I viii take you
with me"
As she spoke she waved her crooked
cane and the Princess was gone from
The sight Of the astonIshed guests and
across the floor ran a big black cat
which followed the witch out of the
hall.
The King and Prince Carl ran after
them but when they reached the gar.
den they had disappeared.
For months every place was search
ed for black cats and hundreds and
hundreds were brought TO the palace
in hope that among them might be
the poor little Princess until nearly
half the palace was filed with cats
Prince Carl searched far and near
for the home Of the old witch but he
could not find her.
Now it happened that the Princess
was a great lover OF birds and. while
the old witch had changed her form
she had not changed her heart. so tire
black cat would never harm the birds
around the forest, but, instead. became
very friendly with them when the old
witch was not about.
The poor little Princess in her new
form was made TO help the old witch
in her magic boilings. which she did
every night before the tree castle in
a kettle hung on three sticks, with
three sticks OF wood under it, which
never seemed TO burn away.
Three times would the old witch
dance around the boiling pot and
chant. "One for luck. two for power
three to bring the magic hour" and
as she said this she dropped into the
pot one at a time three green leaves.
When you can get the magic leaves
my black puss.'' the old witch said one
night. you can be free, and not until
then. You shall live with me until you
think l am beautiful"
Poor black pussy looked in vain for
the leaves for though she gathered
many none had the magic power tc
give her back her own form
Tomorrow / viii tell you who helped
the Princess to find the three magic
leaves.

dressings are for use on special oc-
casions when the housekeepcr is will
ling to give a little extra time in re-
turn for deliciousness:
Mayonnaiae Salad Dressing. Put ]
raw egg yolk into bowl and beat unA
til creamy. then add q teaspoon mus
tard, Il teaspoon sait, a dash OF pep
per, and mix until smooth. Now add
1 tea spoon OF vinegar and a few drops
Of oil and beat with egg -besteg; add a
very little more of the oil and vinegar,
beating constantly. and alternate
these two ingredients until cup OF
the oil and about 2 tablespoons of the
vinegar have been used
II YOU add the oil too rapidly the
dressing will have a curdled look. but
IL this accident should happen you can
give the mixture n smooth consistency
again by pouring it over the yolk OF
another egg and stirring slowly as
you do so. Some housekeepers add
the msshed yolk of a hardeboiled egg
to the dry ingredients OF thfs recipe at
the very start before the liquid in

aDietinel-
when. in 1853, william Bant.ng,
distinctly corpulent upholsterer of

frain from sveets. potatoes. brsad and
meat. except in small quantities, he
probably had not the slightest idea
that he was introducing new word
into the English language. Banting =
system OF dieting was nothing new
It was merely based upon the recof1l-
rnendations Of a number 0f physicians
that an elimination Of starchy foods
would tend TO reduce his weight by
preventing the addition OF more fat
and BY lessening the fatty tissues al
ready present. But il was not long
before RantInu found that ne had lost
twenty pounds, then forty. and finally
more than eighty.
So amazed were his aeauaiutaness
bv tne change which had come over
the merchant change which WAS
mental as well as physical, because
the reduction in his weight made rim
more alert and vigorous thai they in
sisted mat ne tell them the secret.
Soon Il became noised all over London
that II one were TOO fat. the thing 70
do was to follow the "Bantlng system,
which, ri the course Of time. was
shortened 10 PAINTING. and finally tna
capital letter was dropped and the
word admitted 70 the English An
gsase-thongh the majority 0f die
tionaries insist upon referring 70 =
az ssBantingism. and declare that the
verb "ro bant," though commonly
used. has no foundation whatever.

And we would go along being happy

LETTERS OF TESsIE AND JOE

Dear Joe.
Well Joe see the Germans b ave com
across with scrap Of paper promising
TO nav allthat money the allies wanted.
How do YOU explain that Joe, when
they've been saying all a ong that they
didh't even have that much IN their
whole budget or whatever you call It?
| guess maybe they had TO write them
selves out a check.
Well anyway now hope they II make
peace at last instead of continually sead-
ing each other uItimatums that get lost
in the mail. Or else fight il out and
decide once and for all who won the war,
If ANYBODY. Not that | ever waat TO see
another war Joe. As Mrs. Fink SAYS.
war would be all right in its place, but
the various countries are SO badly man
aged that they never have enough sol
diers o fight their own battles 20 they
have to call on innocent citizens who are
strictly minding their own business, not
10 speak of forcing their wives and
families TO do without sugar.
| showed the baby the reflection OF his
tooth in the mirror today, but he didn' I
seem rs surprised as you might have ex-
peated. How do YOU explain that Joe?
/ hope it's not symbol that he's going
to be ungrateful Tor life's blessings as he
grows up.
Just finished the incest book Joe. You
must get it and read it. I've taken it back
to the library already or I'd tell you
the authors name and that might make
it easier for you to locate il, considering
the fact that | cant think of the title
either Just now. Some people seem to
think the authors name and the title
are the most important parts of book,
but always feel that after all its
the contents that really make q book
worth reading. But If | happen 10 think
of the title I'll let YOU know.
