 Muriel was going to paint Mrs. Frant. She visualized the silk and jewel bedecked figure, every gaudy bauble as conspicuous as possible. She would show up the egostical old braggart, with her vulgar boasting written all over her countenance, preening herself and looking as if to say, Are you giving my diamonds enough glitter?" Yes, 1t would be masterpiece-she would paint a sordid soul.
 Mrs. Fant came for her first sit ting
 l Now, my dear" she began char acteristically, don't forget these earring they are big enough to show in the picture-another present from papa. And these. in dicating pearls, pin and rings from Henry and the other children -thes mustn't be left out"
 It was getting too much. MuriePs disgust had risen to high tide and was about to break into a torrent Of words, when. looking keenly into the old woman's face, she fancied she caught a new expression, sort Of wistfulness that stopped her short. You know" the old woman rat tied on all oblivious "they just can't stop showing their love for me-and they'd be so disappointed not to see them in the picture. Oh, Miss Muriel, &I. 1yfnf "a woman? Such q husband and such children. I'm sure the reason the boys don't marry is that they want their mamma to be always first! l Mamma mustn't miss anything, they
 say, and there's nothing too much or l too good for our mamma, says papa.
 And always buying me things to show their love, How r scold them for spending. 50 much money on their \ old mother! And now they are hav- ing you paint this picture. I'll never | be a fashionable woman like they
 want to make me-rd rather wear gingham than these silks and jewels l-but I want everything to show, all the things with which they shower their love on me. I want to show it
 to the world!"
 The old woman paused to catch her breath while the artist remained
 silent. Then
 e"And Miss Muriel," she rushed on If any one ever tells you it doesn't pay to love your husband and suf- fer with him and bring up children look at me. I lost my youth, but
 does it pay, with three such sons who are sweetheart to their mother Did you see my new ring from Jack And spapal Oh, Mss Muriel, make me look like they want me to: make 1 my jewels shine enough to show

OLD MIR. TOAD VISITS GRAND
 FATHER FROG

Grandfather Frog and old Mir. Toad are cousins Of course. you know that without being told. Everybody does. But not everybody knows that they were born in the same place. They were. Yes. sir. they were. They were born in the Smiling Pool. Both had long tails and for awhile no legs. and played and swan to- gether without ever going on shore In fact, when they were babies they couldn't live out of the water. And people who saw them didn't know the difference between them and called them by the same names tadpoles or polliwogs. But when they grew old enough to have legs and get along without tails they parted company. Yes, sir. they parted company.
 You see, 1t was this way: Grand father Frog (of course, he wasn't grandfather then) loved the Smiling Pool so well that he couldn't think of leaving it. He heard all about the Great Woijd and what a wonderful place it was. just the same as MT. Toad did, but he couldn't and wouldn't believe that there could be any nicer place than the Smiling

 Now. all day long Grandfather Frog had had to listen to unpleasant remarks about his greediness. It was such a splendid chance to tease him that everybody around the Snil- ing Pool took advantage of it. Grand father Frog took it good naturedly at first, but after a while it made him cross, and by the time his cousin, old Mir. Toad, arrived he was sulky and just grunted when Mir. Toad told him how glad he was to find Grandfather Frog quite recovered.

 But MT. Toad wanted to see the Great World. He could hardly wait to get rid of his tail before turning his back on the Smiling Pool and starting out to see the Great World Nothing that Grandfather Frog could say would stop him, and away he went when he was so small thar he could hide under a clover leaf.

The stateE old houses of this city are reminders of the days when the young ladies were proud oI their ability to not only manage the house but to be able to prepare the tasty and sumptuous meals that : were served in the spacious dining halls. Many homes today are happier be- cause the housewives of William Penn's days thoroughly knew the business of home making. One of the young matrons of this city has allowed me to use some of the reci- pes that have been in use in her home for several generations. Some of the recipes are old; these have recipes that have been tested and approved by her many friends.

THE FARMER PROSPERs

A much larger winter wheat crop than was har-
vested in 1920 is forcasted by the federal department
Of agriculture; labor for harvesting the grain Is plenti-
full. and at much lower wages than last year; railroads
have more than enough cars TO move the crop; banks
are in a position to make loans to the farmers.
1t is good news that comes from the great big grain
belt of the Middlewest as the harvest season opens in
the southern END. The prediction seems 70 be general
that the price Of wheat Will not slump further though
the crop shows an increase over last year. There
seems to be firm ground for the houe that the American
farmer will make a good profit this year.
There is more importance in the news that comes
from the wheat section taan its effect on the purse OF
the farmer. If the American farmer prcspers this year
the business depression Of the last 10 months will dis
appear and prosperity viii return to the country as a
whole. Prosperity for the farmer will mean prosper
ty for the country. as it was the sharp curtailment of
the purchasing power of the agricultural population Of
the country last year that brought the slump in bust
ness.
All commercial and industrial activity still de-
ponds on the basic Industry of farming. There can be
no prosperity while it languishes. 1t is to be hoped
the forecast of a large net return to the farmer for his
] eor this year is realized. since that is the first essen
tial to a assumption of normal business activity.
