presenting a program that was really
worth while and credit to the club
and a help to us all. The principal
speaker of the afternoon was c. A.
Winger, recently from Niagara Falls
where he was president of the cham
Der Of commerce of that city. His
subject was the place of women in
civic life and he gave us some new
thoughts and many old ones in new
dress. His was a plea for a return 10

our hands at the expense OF our

Peter Rabbit was sitting in the
middle of the dear Old Brier Patch.
Jolly round, red Mr.. Sun had just be-
gun his daily climb up in the blue,
blue sky, and Peter was wondering
where he would go and what he
would do when he heard a sound that
caused him to suddenly sit up very
straight with both ears pointing right
up to the sky Peter held his breath
for a minute and then he heard 1t
again. This time he jumped straight
up in the air and kicked his heels
together for JOY. 1t was just the
softest, sweetest whistle! 1t wasn't
merry and II wasn't sad; 1t was just
beautiful. And it seemed to come
from everywhere and nowhere-just
out Of the air.
''Winsome Bluebird!" cried Peter
Rabbit. "Oh, it's Winsome Blubird!

long way off and yet he may be close

cause Just knew that you would be
looking for me and wanted you to
nave the pleasure OF DeiHg the IlrSJ

the little cherry tree over your head,
Peter, and say something"
OF course, Peter felt very foolish,
and he looked just as he felt. az he
saw Winsone Buebird sitting right
over his head. You see that soft,
beautiful voice had seemed to come
from everywhere. and Peter hadn't
been able to tell just where II did
come from.
"Oh, Winsome!" he cried. "Oh,
Winsome, I'm so glad you've got here
at lastl I'm so happy / could sing
for joy"
"Ho. no, Peter!" laughed Winsome
Bluebird. do try il. / should love
to hear you sing"
Peter grinned. well. any way. II

right away began the funniest little
dance that ever was. Finally he had
to stop to get his breath. There.
that's how glad I ami" he cried.

"Oh, / couldn't, Peter I couldn't

on and the roast burn up or the fire
may go out and the meat dry up.
A fireless cooker means much for
such a time. There is no danger of
a changing fire TO reduce or increase

used the meat chosen should be

fully drained and seasoned with salt
and pepper and butter, carrots, tur-
nips. cauliflower or brussels sprouts
are quite as good as if served in an
elaborate sauce.
The salad may be a plain head
lettuce with a chees dressing or
celery and radishes may take the
place of a separate salad. The des-
sert may be fruit served with
whipped cream or plain and cake or
cookies.
A small roast that will cook in an
