If you would delight the eve and the palate and save dish-washinG serve a planked dinner Too few housekeepers make use of plank thinking a great amount of fussing is required.

What Lillian Said At Marion'S
 Command.

My eyes went invoiuntarily to Lil- lian's face as Marion's weak little voice made her plea to see her "Uncle Robert" To the nurse, of course, the name meant nothing and what Dr. Petit knew or guessed 1 did not know nor care. A physician becomes a sanctuary when he is Tn charge of a critical case. But to me, with my intimate knowledge of Lil Hans soul, the name of Robert Saw arin on the lips of her little daughter vas fraught with startling signif- 4nce. How would she react to the child's entreaty? !
 I knew that her poise under most circum stances was matchless, but she had just been through what was probably the most terrible suspense of ever her eventful life, and she would not control the rush of color to her pallid cheeks at Robert Sav arin's name. But her voice was firm as she bent over her child.
 "Of course, you shall see him, dear. Auntie Madge will write to him right away"
 I was not surprised at her quick acquiescence, although I knew that she was permitting no longing of her own to influence her one way or the other. But if Marion at this mo- ment of restoration to her had asked for the most unattainable thing in the world I think her mother would have tried to achieve the impossible for her beloved.
 Cant she telegraph or telephone Then he'll come quicker "
 The little voice, though weak, was inf1exibIe an imperious. It was not like Marion to be thus insistent. She is usually the most docile child i'm aginable, though one see that she has her full inheritance of spirit

away from the good things that he meant to find beyond the walls of the pigsty.
 Little did Mrs. Pig dream what plans filled the head of her son Grunty. When she saw him sniff fling around the walls of the pen she never once guessed that he could be looking for anything except some thing to eat. How could shc know that Grunty-thc littlest of tho fam ill-was searching for a place to es- cape?
 Now, it happened that there was one loose board in the corner of the pigpen. The nails that once held it had rusted away. Nobody but Grunty | Pig had discovered that by press | ing against an end of this board one could bend it outward. It was too bad-for him-that he had grown so rapidly. Had he been just bit smaller he could have squeezed through the opening. | Here Grunty met the first real problem of his life. For some days he puzzled over it. One thing was certain; he couldn't make himself smaller, unless he stopped eating.
 And that was out of the question. In l
 there was only one thing to do: he
 must make the opening bigger.
 Day after day Grunty Pig crowded
 against the loose board. And at last came his reward. Two more rusty
 nails gave way all at once. Under
 Grunty's weight the board opened wide. And as he slipped through the space, to freedom, the board snapped Iback into place again.
 There he was, with the wide world
 before him. And there was the pen with no opening anywhere to be i seen.
 /. With a grunt of delight Grunty
 Pig trotted out of the low building and found himself on the edge of Farmer Greens orchard l He noticed that there was a fra grant smell of apples in the air. (Copyright 1921 by the Metropolitan | Newspaper SerVicel. 1 Tomorrow Grunty Discovers

 She is happy because she has on a new, dress with the most up-to-date trimming.
 Why do pretty ladies like to wear nail heads on their clothes?
 Ask me something easy, son.
 It's the fashion.
 Would pretty ladies wear the dresses really nailed on if Fashion said SO?
 Yes, dear, I think they would. But these nail heads don't hurt a bit.
 Nail heads by the way are very much in evidence for the late sum- mer, fall and coming winter styles. IiSy are SIiOWu III SltSS, brass, gun metal, all the popular hardware tints

before she speaks a line or makes a
