Dear Cynthia---"pe Jure's' article In
your column interested me and I can
possibly help him to Identify "McWhizz-
burgh.' But what l have to say ap-
plies to DE Jure" only II he is the noted
ex-editor of n very worthy publication.
Mr.. "McWhizzburgh" is. in all prob
ability, just the person you think he
Is. DE Jure." You are acquainted with
him. even friendly, and you ought to be
ashamed of yourself to satirize him so,
while seemingly praising him lavishly
His force that revealed a mind of far
reaching broadness' and his apparent
omniscience" are a trifie too far-fetched
even for one as just as you are. No
hard feelings though, DE Jure." Your
works are becoming less enigmatic to
the common people, but that poem of
yours Is above my understanding yet.
You can obtain n hint of 'McWhizz.
burgh's" Identity from his nom de
plume. but I suspect that you really
do know him and just wish to start the
bee buzzing to relieve the monotony Of
continual letters from the lovesick. A
good wish, worthy Of fulfllment
I hope this draws reply from the
comma nding" ''McWhizzburgh" - that
adjective describes him very we'll, as he
will doubtless answer soon to settle
any disputes concerning the Imperial
High and Mighty Wizard, "McWhizz-
burgh." SPECTATOR"

Miss Henderson breathed a sigh of
relief and said nothing more.
In the afternoon Trix was strong
enough to get up and Nancy decided
that run on the beach would do her
good. For time everything seemed
suspended with Nancy, her ability to
feefwas stunned and she had no plans
for anything beyond seeing that Trfx
was safely started>on the road to health
and happiness. Bruce's sudden change
of feeling seemed not to matter In the
face of other things that had hap.
pened.
Nancy ana Trix we're out only short
time, as it was really too cold to keen
the child In the air for very long. But
when they returned to the house and
Trix was ensconced in her room with
her dolls around her and a faint color
in her cheeks from the exercise in the
cold, Nancy began to wonder how she
was going to- get her letter posted. She
did not dare leave Trix with any one
but Miss Henderson, who had gone to
the village. Bertha was Trustworthy,
Nancy might intrust the letter to her,
but. on the other hand. she wanted to
post it herself; she wanted the feeling
of having ended things definitely be-
tween herself and Anthony, and she
wanted the letter to reach him before
he came to the house again.

Color Relations

One must have some idea of the color
spectrum in order TO know which of the
colors are relating or harmoniZng and
which are opposing or contrasting when
decorating rooms Black and white are
not colors at all they are the absence
Of It. The three primary colors are red
yellow and blue. and virtually all others
can be made by the combination of these
in different proportions. The combina-
ton Of yellow and red, for example,
makes orange red and blue make violet
and yellow and blue make green. OF
coure there are irNumerable shades OF
orange, violet and green. but these are
due simply TO the preponderance in diff
ferent proportions Of one or the other Of
the primary Colors. Various neutral
tones, such as different shades of gray
and brown. can be obtained by COM
binlng all three primary Colors and thus
letting them neutralize each other. This
relation is not difficult to remember II
one Is really Interested In 80 doing. and
it is very important to know In order to
handle color ntelligently.-House and

How to Prepare the Bread
Have the bread at least one day old .
and for the whole wheat it is better to
have 1t two or three days old.
| Put the butter in a warm bowl, then
cream with Il wooden spoon until very
soft. Cut the crust from the loaf Of
bread with n sharp knife and spread a
slice on the loaf before cutting. Then
fold TWO slices together and cut in tri-
angles. Put the sandwiches back into
the loaf shape and then wrap in wax

Plenty of good cold drinking water
is part of the success of every Sunday

How to Take Ice
Wrap the ice in five thicknpsses of
newspapers and then in u heavy cloth.
Now wrap in n piece of oicloth and
place in an old suitcase. This ice will
keep all day. Pieces can be cut at
intervals. Hunt the shady spots and
read and rest and enjoy the quiet lux .
ury of a day in the woods.
