TWINKLE-EYES' CHILDREN.

Before two weeks had passed Twinkle
Eyes had changed his mind about his
seven children. Not that he did not think
them the hsndsome.t children that ever
Father Mouse had, but they certainly
were not quiet.
One night Twlnkle-Eyes and his
wife left their family asleep In their nest
and ran down 10 the pantry to get
supplies, and when they returned TO the
attic they were greeted with loud
squeaks.
'The Puss has found themr' cred
Twlnkle-Eyes, dropping the cheese be
was carrying and running TO his house.
But hs wife knew better she knew
that her children were quarrellng over
their place IN the nest, so she picked up
the cheese and did not hurry at all
When Twlnkle-Eyes saw there was
no sign of Puss about he ran into the
house. The squeaking grew louder, and
when he reached the nest In the corner
of the bedroom Twinkle-Eyes quickly
covered his ears and ran out again.
"My DEAR" he sand 10 bis wife, "our
children are having a most terrible
quarrel. ! never heard such q noise
IN my life. ! am surprised that you
should have brought up such an un-
ruly family and tomorrow j Will stay

Eyes. This Is a good time for you te

Twinkle-Eycs ran back to his chill

sternly; "now you go 10 sleep and don''

what is trap?" asked all the young
nice at once.
Twlnkle-Eyes did not reply. He
turned to his wife. There, you see
nv dear, our children are very easy
TO manage # you are firm. Now
hope you will follow my example after
this"
But he did not have long to feel
proud OF his work, for out Of the nest
Jumped all of the seven little mice
soueaking loudly for Twinkle-Eyes to
tell them about Puss and the trap
and how they would catch them.
''Go back to your nest" said Twin
kle-Eyes looking very cross. in the
morning will tell you all about them. -
But the young mice wanted story told
to them, SO they began to squeak, Tel

Poor Twinkle-Eyes looked about for
his wife. She was nowhere to be seen.

SEASONABLE MENUS

With the coming colder weather, our
diet should be changed to include an
abundance of the heat~producing foods
such as fats in any form, pork, fried

relieved by a light, acid dessert. The
following menus for q. week illustrate
this point: \
Sunday Breakfast: Baked Apples,
Cereal, French toast with Maple Sirup.
Coffee. Dinner: Leg of Lamb, Mashed
Potatoes, Canned Peas, Coffee, Lemon
