Bunny, Bobby and 1 stopped in
the path leading into a wood.
Bunny and Bobby could hardly
speak for laughing as we gazed
at the impertinent little frog who
sat directly in our path without
making any move to get out of
the way.
"He isn't the least bit afraid,
is he?" exclaimed Bobby. Most

When we reached home, Bobby

The frog seemed very happy and
entirely satisfied with life.
But one day Bobby had an
awful fright. He walked out in
the yard just In time to see a big
goose start to gobble the little

But the goose quickly dropped

The frog was growing and get

HOW TO COOK
A HAM
by LorettO c. Lynch
A Recognized Authority on An
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.

r HAVE a great desire to be
able to prepare for COM
pany dinner really good
ham in the Virginia style with
sugar, spices, etc. / have been
cooking in my new home over six
months, so you see / have had
some practice. Please give me
explicit directions? writes Con.
slant Reader.
Thoroughly scrub "A twelve
pound ham with brush and warm
water to which has been added
pinch Of borax. Trim off smoky
edges and scrape the skin until
1t is clean. Rinse with boiling
water several times.
Soak the ham in cold water
about twelve hours and then
bring slowly to the boiling point.
Boil gently about five hours.
Then remove the rind and part
Of the fat. Place the ham in q
roasting pan and pour over It a
syrup made by boiling together
for ten minutes, two onions sliced,
one carrot sliced, two cloves,
bay leaf, Glove, garlic, small
bunch parsley, one spray of
thyme, two quarts cider, one cup
brown sugar, one cupful vinegar,
and half a level faaanoou dry
mustard. Allow fifteen minutes
baking for each pound. Dip the
syrup over the ham every fif.
teen minutes and regulate the
oven heat carefully so as to
prevent burning.
This is the best recipe I know.
Sometimes, however, where one
wants less work, after the ham
has been par-boiled and the skin
removed, grated bread crumbs
may be sprinkled over it and
sugar sprinkled generously over
that. Whole cloves, say two or
three, and several dozen pepper
corns are stuck into the ham at
intervals. A cupfuI OF hot water
is used for basting after the ham
has started to brown.
An ounce Of candied ginger in
the syrup with which either ham
is cooked gives a delicious Varia-
ton.

ing gay plans for having some
fun" during her stay, plans in
which dental engagements played
a conspicuously small part. 1t
turned out to be a very light
hearted month, mothers month in
the dentists chair. Neale and
Martha were quite shaken Up out
of the quiet, jog-trot routine OF
their peaceful days and long
evenings of serious reading to-
gether. Mother took them to the
theater and to dinner at out-of-the-
way restaurants of which, like
most sober resident New Workers.,
they had never heard the names.
In the daytime, she and Martha,
of whom she had grown very
fond, went around q good deal
together, looking at the innum-
cradle expensive and occasionally
beautiful objects on view in the
shops of big city: or visiting
museums. or going to matinees.
They heard good deal of music,
all three OF them. Mother had
chosen a hotel near Carnegie
Hall. so that frequently, when
they had nothing else to- do, they
strolled up on foot and listened
to whatever was being played.
They had an occasional dinner
with Prof. Wentworth and Mar
tina in their apartment on 122d
street. and mother went off by
herself to look UP the old friends
of Union Hill days, the few who
We're not scattered.
Once in q while Neale talked
over his business prospects with
mother when she asked him about
them and he couldn't get out of
it, and they agreed that he would
be able to marry in another wear.
And having agreed in this opin.
ion, mother was apt to fall very
silent for q time. But this suited
Neale, who found intimate per-
sonal talk disconcerting. It al
ways made him uneasy when an.
other human being ratified the
handle Of the door to his inner
secret garden. One of the things
he most loved in Martha was
that she took so much for granted
without talking about it. They
understood each other instructive
ly. he felt. without need OF ex-
PLANTATION. He suspected that
Martha had her own inner garden,
and prided himself on respecting
her right to it. He was no one
to go rafting handles of doors
that were none of his. He found
Martha especially restful and sat
isfying after one of these talks
with mother, lightly and passIngly
as mother glanced over those SEN
sitive places. He constantly felt
that mother was trying to open
a door he wished to keep shut,
that she was trying to say some
thing that he had no desire to
hear. He and Martha were all
right. What business had mother
to look at them that way?
She did nothing after all, beyond
looking, and went away at the
end of her month, having COM
mitted no greater crime than to
whisper brokenly to Neale al
