Raggedy Andy fooled the Boliver when he prepared the two straws. For the Boliver had promised Rag gedy Andy and the Knight that he ] would eat the cne who drew the shortest straw first, and Raggedy Andy had held two straws exactly the same length. The Boliver sat and scratched his head when he discov- cred the straws were alike. q guess shall have to eat you both at the same time!" he said, for both straws are the shortesti'
 i Indeed, they are not the shortest!' Raggedy Andy replied. Both straws are the longest. So that means you can't eat either of us!' l The Boliver took off his hat and thought a moment. T know what 1 you will have to do."
 What" Raggedy Andy asked.
 "You will have to draw the straws again." And he held the straws be- 1 hind his back while he fixed them. Then he held them out In front and said, Now draw again."
 But when Raggedy Andy and the 1 Knight drew the straws again, they were both the same length. T can't l understand IL! the bOilVer CIieu But I know if the straws are the same length now, it is because both of them are the longest. So you will i both have to be eaten at the same l time!"

 You forgot salt and pepper" Rag gedy Andy told him.
 "Ha Who cares for salt and pep per?" the Boliver asked. Not mel
 q wish that you would quit this l foolingw Raggedy Andy told the Boliver as he brushed the leaves from between himself and the Knight You know perfectly well that you can't make a sandwich out of us and eat us!"
 i'Id like to know why not" the Boliver said in an injured tone Didn't I promise you that l would eat you up. And doesn't a Boliver always keep his promise?. Now just you answer me that, will you, Mister | Raggedy Andy?"
 How can you eat us up, or how can you eat us down, for that matter i when we are as large as you? Don't you see? If you would eat either one i of us, it would make your stomach ache like the dickens"
 "I'n betcha I could eat both of you and not have the stomach ache" the Boliver replied, "and I'm going to do 1t this very minute, that's what"
 But Raggedy Andy sat down on l the grass and laughed and laughed 1 What are you laughing at?" the Bol- | iver asked. T don't see anything funny about being eaten up? Do 1 you?" he asked the Knight.
 "No! I don't" the Knight replied land what's more, I don't want to be eaten up!"
 We'll" Raggedy Andy said to the Knight, then quit your shaking, for the Boliver can't eat us up when he hasn't any mouth" And. indeed, the l Knight saw this was true.

Joyments with regrets. A book print ed in red ink is prophecy of love letter which will make you tremble in happy anticipation. To hold a Bible means call from or a visit to, an aged relative and, in most cases, an unpleasant conversation. To receive a book from a woman is hint that you will stumble across a guilty secret; from man, that you are derided where you believe your self admired; from child, that you are needed to help some one who Is in trouble.
 To stand undecidedly before book shelf, reading the backs of the cov- CTS, denotes curiosity, and you will probably know best what the dream refers to- in which way you have made yourself guilty of undue in- quisitiveness and what the punish ment will be should you be discov- cred prying into other peoples af- fairs. To read a book the contents of which frighten you is sign oI having gone too far in meddling with things which are really none of your concern, and you are warned not to keep up the practice If you would avoid needless trouble. To throw a book, means that you will insult some one; to have it thrown at you that you will be insulted.
 I would like my readers to let mo know if they ever dream of trying to read books in foreign languages which they do not understand. A ia nous French psychologist recently announced that, should such dreams

 Breakfast was served a. o'eloas in order to give the traeelsfs d abundance of time n which lo catch the train leaving a
 Most of the conversation e table was carried on by Dr. Grant and Mrs. Lang. The latter was talkat. 9 and in the best of humor.
 If you ever come to Saxville, you must be sure to let us know, both you and your; daughter, Mrs. Lang said to the physician.
 Thanks" the man acknowledged courteously. But I am so busy that l seldom get as far away from home as that-unless I go even farther on a very occasional vacation"
 Nevertheless, you are kind to ask us," Ruth supplemented with a smile.
 She was looking pale and tired this morning, Kenneth noted with a pang at his heart. His pity in- creased his love for her. He knew she would probably be happy with Natnanlel Smltn-lG she cared for him as, of course, she did-yet it hurt him to remember that she had made herself wretched over the oc- currencs of that afternoon when she had taken her fathers patient for a drive. She must have been very un- happy. otherwise the conversation of last night would not have left such marks on her young face.
 He called himself brute for hav- ing spoken to her angrily. He won Breakfast over, pr. Lang went out to the garage to see If Abe had the car ready. Ruth, with a murmured excuse, slipped into the Kitchen on some pretext. It could not have been to consult with Martha, for a mo- ment later this excellent person en- tered the dining room. Mrs. Lang, standing in the hall with her son, left him with an audible
 A Foolish Woman.
 There's Martha now! I was just waiting for a chance to speak to her. l must hand her tip"
 She returned to the dining room, a five dollar bill in her hand.
 Here, Martha" she said smoothly, ''is little something to pay you for your kindness"
 "What?" The New England voice was strident at all Vines. Now 1t was so gruff that Kenneth, awaiting

 q said" Mrs. Lang spoke softly that she might not be overheard, that this Is little something to pay you for the extra trouble caused you by having my son and me here. 1 always hand a servant something when I am leaving. And I know you have taken all the care of MT. Lang's room."
 q won't touch the money" Martha
 shed an ugly crimson. T wouldn't lou1A it If l was starvin'! What l Bid f1 MT. Lang was a pleasure aad, besides, he's paid me regular. Dout worry yourself about that. As what was done for you-well-no money can pay me for that"
 You are impertinent-and ignor- ant" Mrs. Lang did not raise her voice, but it vibrated with anger. If Miss Grant knew how you speak to me she would change her opinion Of you!"
 Martha Speaks Out.
 "Oh, no, she wouldn't-not if she knew how you spoke to your son about her last night!" Martha ac- cused. "Yes-I heard only part of it, but that was enough! l was pass ing through the hall when you won dered how her father could let a young girl be brought up by an un- educated person like me! That's not what I minded, though. The girls manners speak for themselves, and don't need no excuse. But when you spoke of her fy-an-say'-I knew you meant she was engaged
 Well, she ain't! l guess I'd know even if you did say that Martha probably didn't know of 1t! Martha does knowi But she ain't sayin' any thing yet. l ain't one to make trouble-unIess it's necessary. But when 1t gets to the point that 1t is necessary-I speak. There, that's all I've got to say''
 It was as well. For Kenneth, won dering at his mothers lingering In the dining room, appeared n the door.
 Tt is time you were getting your What are you and Martha confabing about?"
 He smiled as he looked at the maid of all work. She had been kind to him and he felt an honest grati- tude toward her.
 Martha forced a smile to her thin lips. T was. just tellin' your Ma good bye" she said. T was also tellin' her that it was pity that when young Dr. Smith Is so much in love with Ruthie, there don't seem to be chance for him. She"-with a toss of her head-"is goin' to get someone higher than young Nat Smith, and with no effort on her part, either. But I ain't tellin' no secrets"

FaUorife Recipes
 of Famous Men
F. ZIEGFELD, Jr. Theatrical Producer

Here is dish that I am very fond pare. The tart molds may be pur- chased already made, which simpli- fled things somewhat if you do not want to bother with the dough, but in case you cannot get them here is the whole process and I can vouch for the results.
 cups of chopped chicken (cooked) or one large can Chicken a la King.
 E cup evaporatcd milk.
 2 eggs.
 1 onion.
 ? cups sirted flour.
 F cup shortening.
 F cup water.
 l teaspoonful salt.
 Pepper
 Parsley
 Ice Water
 Mix stalt and four-cut in the chilled shortening with TWO knives until the mixture is as fine as meal. With a broad -bladed knife stir in ice water slowly until dough clings around knife in ball, leaving sides of bowl perfectly clean. Toss dough on floured bread board. Flour the rolling pin and roll it out very thin. Keep the pin well floLred. Rub the outside of patty par or jelly molds with little shortening and lay dough over these smoothly, bringing it well over the edge. Bake upside down for about ten minutes in hot oven. If chicken la King is used for a filling it will not require any special preparation, but if you really want to cook and use the cold chick en, proceed as follows:
 Cut the chicken in small pieces, but do not mnce. Mince onion and cook until slightly brown in little butter Stir in tablespoonful of flour, add milk and water. When smooth aod chicken and season to taste. When bubbling take from the fire and stir , in the slightly beaten eggs. Let cool then fill the pastry shells. The re- mainder of the pastry do"gh should have been kept in the ice box. Get 1t out. Roll it thin as before. Cut in round pieces to cover the tops of the tarts. Wet the edges of the tarts with cold water; press on the covers, bringing the edges well down as they shrink a bit in baking. Slit the tops before putting on. Press the edges with tines of fork. Garnish with parsley.

SALES CALL TO THE THRIFTY

For at least three months of each new year the clever merchants and an equally clever fashion takes ac- count of stock. And the thrifty buy CT is busy, too, with her closets large and small, listing needs that may be replenished from bargins the shops will offer all through the mid-season months when left over srocKs are be- ing replaced by fresh spring goods. For 1t Is then that she finds really wonderful things among the little bits of this and the little bits of that that together make a sale. Since many of these opportunities have to do with household needs and under things, they make insistent appeal both to the prospective bride and the housewife. whether she be intent on replacing, accommodating rousseau or stocking a linen chest.

FLOWER FRoCKs FOR KIDD1Es

New spring dress-up trOcks TOT little folk pass by the practical, sturdy poplins, ginghams and cham brays for the lovable charm of filmy voile, soft crepe de chine and dainty Swiss and organdy. They are harbingers of "Spring-just- around the corner" and are adorably quaint and individual with their more than a touch of handwork-buttonh embroidery, frilling, tucking or shir- ring. Even on the filmiest fabrics one is likely to se gay wool en- broideries or a clever ribbon trim or the like. It looks like a dressy spring for wee tWo- -to-six.

THE PAPER HOUSE

 Augustus Thomas, the noted play wright, said at dinner in New York:
 The uses to which paper is put nowadays are astonishing, I have seen paper car whels, paper skipping ropes and paper roads. Henry Fora is building automobiles out Of paper. And the other evening, by love, l dropped into Broadway theatre to see friend of mine. and he told ma the whole house was paper. Fine, substantial looking structure 1t was. too

where she may be going on her non eymoon. and what her life after mar riage is to be. Every bride should have at least
 a dozen of each kind of undersaf- ments and nightgowrs; also plenty of shoes, slippers and as many dozeh gloves, stockings and handkerchiets
 as possible.
 The Household Linen The linen is an important part or a brides rousseau, and glrl even in moderate circumstances should , have at least a dozen each of sheets
 and pillow cases. Six plain bed- spreads and one or two fancy ones. Six dozen towels of different sizes , and for various purposes. About six tablecloths and six dozen napkins, large and small, and perhaps one or , two tablecloths with napkins to match, for use on the occasion of dinner parties. All these should be of as good quality linen as is within the parents means. To these may
 be added lace-inserted and embroid- cred doilies, runners, centerpieces, and many other necessary, userul ana ornamental household linens.
 White embroidery Is always in
 best taste, particularly for bed and
 dining table linen, but for luncheon sets colors are permissib Also on towels and wash-cloths l think col
 ored monograms are prettier than
 white. Guest towels, however, are
 usually marked with white mono
 grams The monograms or initials
 on table linens are generally .em-
 broidered near the corner, and on sheets and pillow cases they are em- broidered near the center and over the hem.
 It Is also customary for the bride to have all her clothing linen and silver marked with the initials of her maiden name. This Is also the proper way to mark any gifts given
 to the bride by her friends and family.

DREAMS OF BOOKS. DREAMS OF

READING.
 Your eyes are closed in slumber, and yet you read. Recall the poets words;
 Books, dreams, are each a world. Some books are full of fevrlsh
 dreams
 And dreams mayhap are books that
 tell the truth
 Far more sincere than books them selves.
 And as you read, your mind becomes perturbed and though you are deeply interested you do not seem able to grasp the full import of the printed f page-which means that problem or deep significance will come Into your life and you will turn here and there despairingly, hoping that the light may come to you. Again you dream, and this time every word is clear 10 you and you enjoy the book anu would not leave it out of your haha | for worlds-and such a vision IS 1 sign of signal success, of pleasant tasks, of remunerative labor. To dream that, while you are fedu- 1 ing, there are disturbing noises, or quarrels, or some one is trying to take the book from you, Is warning not to engage in games of chance pet | on horses or dabble in the stock mar . ket. Even though such diversions may now be furthest from your mlnu' you will find that in very httie while the temptation to try your luck in one of these ways will cross your path.
 A bad book, the kind or Which Shakespeare has said: | Was ever book containing such vile
 matter
 So fairly bound?
 is a certain sign that the company you are keeping is not fit for you and will lead you into evil ways uh less you shun it. and should such dream puzzle you because you believe to have no reason to think i'll or any one of your friends, be doubly care full for there is a snake hiding Tn the grass.
