WHO HAD MADE
 THE STRANGE POND?

Who had made the strange pond? That IS what Spotty the Turtle NdlsSa to know Little Joe Otter and Jtf<S Muskrat and Grandfather Frog wanted to know the same thing when They arrived So did or Mistah Bug fard looking down from the blue, oiue sky. 1t was very strange; very strange Indeed. Never had there been pond in that part of the days when Sister South Wind melted the snow so fast that the Laughing Brook ran over its banks ana the Smiling Pool grew twice as large as it ought to be.
 Of course. some one had made it. Spotty the Turtle had known that as soon as he had seen the strange pond. All in a flash he had under stood what that wall of logs and brush and mud across the Laughing Brook was for. It was to stop the water from running down the Laugh ng Brook. And, of course, if the water couldn't keep on running and sughing on it's way to the Smiling Pool it would just stand still and grow and grow into pond. Of sourse, Spotty felt very proud when se had thought that out all him. self
 ' nlS wall we are Slttlng on has pade the pond" said Spotty the Fur Dc after long time, in which no one lad spoken.
 You don't say so,'' said Billy Mink How ever, ever did you guess S2 Are you sure. quite sure, that the pond didn't make the wall?"
 Spotty knew that Billy Mink was making fun of him, but he is too good tatured to lose his temper over a dttle thing like that. He tried to think of something smart to say in ;eply. but Spotty is slow thinker ,s well as slow walker, and before se could think of anything Billy was stllSing once more-
 This wall is what Farmer Browns loy calls a dam,r said Billy Mink, rho is a great traveller. Dams are usually built to keep water from running where it isn't wanted, or to make 1t go where it is wanted. Now, Shat I want to know is who under he sun wants a pond way back Sere in the Green Forest, and what it for? Who do you think built his dam, Grandfather Frog?
 Grandfather Frog shook his head. His big, goggly eyes seemed more ,oggly than ever as he stared at the sx~ pond in the Green Forest.
 eI don't know" said Grandfather Frog. T don't know what to think. 5

TRY PAPER
 A very satisfactory way to reheat rolls is in a paper bag. Put the rolls in the bag and dampen the bag with warm water. Twist the top of the bag tightly shut and tie. Put into a hot oven. When the bag is dry the rolls will be hot and just like freshly baked ones. Quite stale rolls will yield to this treatment.
 Menu for Tomorrow
 B R F A K FAST - Stewed prunes, scrambled eggs, brown bread toast, coffee.
 LUNCHEON = Puree of chicken with rise hot rolls. radishes. ginger snaps, tea.
 DINNER Short ribs of beef, mashed potatoes. new beets. cottage pudding, coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 While beets are young and tender use both the tops and the roots. Cook the greens and season and shape in a mold. Reheat and surround with the beets to serve.
 Puree of Chicken with Rice
 One-half cup finely chopped chicken, 14 cup finely chopped cooked ham. F cup rice, chicken stock. ? tablespoons top milk. salt and pepper
 Wash rice, cover with cold water and bring to the boiling point. Rinse under running water and drain Cover with stock and cook until ten der. Pound chicken and ham with a wooden potato masher until smooth, moistening with a little stock Rub through a strainer. Put in a stew pan add cream, salt and pepper and stir over fire until hot. Add stock slowly until the mixture is the con- sistency of thick cream. Arrange the rice on platted to form a border and fill with chicken mixture. Serve very hot.
 Short Ribs of Beef Put meat on to boil in boilins water. Add salt when half done When tender drain from stock and l put into a frying pan with melted ! butter. Fry till butter is absorbed This is a delicious way to cook l short ribs of beef. The meat is more i tender if little fat.
