 That's just it." Raggedy Andy re- piled. People who are mean to llt- tie creatures never stop to think of the unhappiness they cause the little creaturesi But little creatures can
 be just as unhappy as large crea-
 lures if wicked people hurt e>em and when you take a little woodland creature away from it's family and friends, you cause as much unhappi-

Jasper Jay Is brave little fel- low" said Raggedy Ann to Raggedy Andy as the two walked through the woods. All the time Mister Meany was fixing his cruel trap beside the laughing brook, Jasper Jay was quarrelng and scolding him. And every other bird, and every creature in the woods knew when they heard Jasper Jay scolding that some meany person was fin the deep, deep woods."
 T am glad that 1t was me Mister Meany's trap caught instead of one of the wood creatures." said Rag gedy Andy. For 1t did not hurt me one speck to have the steel clamps snay tight against my stomach, but 1t would have hurt any wood erea- turen'

 And when Raggedy Andy saw one of old Mister Meany's traps lying beside the bench with its steel clamps wide open. without saying a word to Raggedy Ann Raggedy Andy ran and picked up the trap and poked 1t right at old Mister Meany's shoe. "Clack." the trap snapped as 1t fastened It's steel clamps around old Mister Meany's foot.

CHAPTER 9A

b@
 In the morning, it was still -ain- ing. As Kenneth looked from his window, there was no sign of a break in the gray clouds. He shivered slightly. He had always declared that weather did not affect his spirits. but this continued downpour was surely getting on his nerves. frN
 He had certain personal letters to bank early today. After breakfast he would come up here. touch a match to the contents of the chimney-place and spend couple of hours in warmth and comfort.
 It was 10 o'clock when he sealed and stamped a long letter to his mother, and a brief one to Harold Meserole. her fiance. He had meant to write these letters several days ago-but had deferred the disagree able task until now. He flattered himself that he hal been affection- ately deferential in his communlca- tion to his mother, had spoken just the right words of reorganization and best wishes for her happiness, and had kept back some of the things that he might have said had he and she been face to face. That she had forgotten her sons father was no surprise to the son. He could never forget him.
 The note to Harold Meserole was absolutely correct. Lang had writ ten 1t with the consciousness that his mother would read 1t after the re- cipient had done so.
 As he was putting on his rain- coat his telephone rang. Several years ago he had had fis own instru- nent installed rather than use the ono patronized by other 3hoarders.
 Henry Dobson's secretary was on the wire. Mir. Dodson would like to see MT. Lang as soon as convenient to that gentleman.
 T was just starting for the bank as you rang" Kenneth informed the secretary. T will be there in 10 min- utes."
 He gave no especial thought to the message. There were often matters on which ihe president wished to talk with mm. Yet it was not like Dodson to be in such a hurry that he would telephone for Lang whom he was sure his assistant would be at the bank later in tho morning. It was II o'clock when Kenneth entered the presidents private office. Dodson nodded to him.
 Shut that door. please" he said

was the baby spoon. The first two fingers and the thumb are closed around and about half way up the handle of the fork somewhat after the manner in which a pen Is held The only difference Is that one holds a pen near the point. while the fork is held little way above the center of the handle.
 The food Is then conveyed to the mouth with the fork prongs up. If the child finds 1t difficult to get the food upon the fork. he may continue to use the pusher. When he be- comes dexterous in the handling of the fork he may replace the pusher with a small piece of bread. which Is held in the left hand between the thumb and the first two fingers. This helps the child to secure tho foods that would otherwise elude him and smear the entire plate.
 A child should always be reminded to say please when asking for any thing. and thank you on receiving 1t. When he Is at the table with older people, other than the immediate family, he should be taught not to enter into tho conversation unless spoken to. When he Is alone with his mother and father. the only thing to remember Is that he should not be allowed to interrupt. Otherwise 1t seems to mo that tho child should feel happy and free while with them.
 A child should always ask permis- sion of his mother If 1t Is necessary for him to leave tho dining table before the rest.

They are lovely to serve from, and save having to have any other table. You simply pile your tea-things on the tea-wagon proper. roll 1t into the living room. veranda. or sun room. lift up the sides, and then spread out the cups and saucers napkins, spoons and plates of cake or sandwiches.
 At & pinch. these little wagon tables will serve as tiny luncheon tables for two. Recently I invited a friend to lunch with me on a very cold day, and the dining room sim ply could not be heated. So I had my maid pile the luncheon dishes on to my tea-wagon, roll 1t in by the living-room fire, set it with silver and china for two. and serve our luncheon there. They're ever so handy"
 'Oh that's so much better than a mere tea-wagon," exclaimed the shopper "Tll certainly get one for this particular wedding present, and as the youngsters are going to live In a wee apartment, they will appre- ciate the space-saver, I'm sure."

EGGS

Discounting the shell, even an egg has almost 75 per cent of water but do not be discouraged, for 1t also contains 10 per cent of fat. chiefly in the yolk. and 13 per cent of the purest protein which can be found in its white. Since some pieces of meat. such as corned beef or lamb, have only about 15 or 19 per cent of protein, an egg IS a good runner up with 13 per cent of protein to It's credit.
 We cannot cook eggs at the same high temperature as we do meat. The protein of eggs, contained in the white. Is so delicate that 1t becomes hard and rubberlike and less diges- tible when affected by any form of high heat. or when cooked with fat. The ideal method of preparing eggs is in or by any form of cooking which Is rapid and at a low temper ature. "Coddled eggs" for children of course; poached for the younger set; and for the grown-up group in omelets, souffles and in salads or dishes where creamed sauce cov- CTS multitude of things.
 What more gauzy or ethereal than a foamy omelet turned, presto. quick upon the plate in all its golden splendor? Or again, what dish more appetizing than a Spanish omelet with tomato sauce, piquant herbs to tone the flat tastelessness of eggs as eggs. served on the large impos- ing family platter?
 Another form of egg dish too sell dom used is what Is called "souf- file" or "tin.bale." This means a mixture of beaten eggs combined with cream or white sauce and allowed to cook slowly over hot wa ter. When used with some form of cheese or other highly seasoned gives all the nutrition of eggs in one of its best and most appetizing forms.
 In all salad forms we have many opportunities to use boiled eggs re- lieved by mayonnaise and season. ings. What more hearty than potato egg-and-cold-beet salad with sour, spicy dressing? I'll warrant 1t will satisfy as readily as corned beef or minced lamb. Hard boiled, sliced. cut In eighths, arranged as Star" or daisy" eggs become charming and substantial salads as nourishing as short ribs of beef
 One last way to use eggs must not be overlooked. and that Is in various "creamed" forms so familiar to us all We may boil them hard slice. dice or mistreat otherwise and cover with white sauce. Bake if you choose. or serve whole and upright in toast rings. pouring over a creamy tomato sauce. Mash the yolks, dice the pubs. combine in a half dozen ways, and you again have variety.

FISH

We are so fortunate today as to be able to set either fresh or canned fish and sea products on our tables every day if we so wish. The house. wife can start on the trail of lesser known fish and trace them to their haunts on the counters of the deli- catessen store in the form of her ring. smoked or dried sturgeon. whitefish, smoked salmon, dried fin nan haddie. salt mackerel. etc. All dried fish are very concentrated, and most have moro strength and mus cle-forming value than meat.
 Given a piece of dried or smoked d fish, what are its possibilities It need never be served twice alike If the hand that stirs the cream-sauce rules the kitchen intelligently. But fried, broiled, creamed, baked, seal. loped 1t may appear as & breakfast, lunch or supper dish of infinite va riety.

With the arrival Of Lent, many of us are changing our eating habits, but in lessening the amount of meat in the diet we need suffer no loss of strength or even lose some of the pleasure in eating. On the contrary Lent offers us all a chance to be- come better acquainted with other foods which have the same value or qualities as meat. and to serve these foods In novel ways. Incidentally. the change will benefit our health and our pocketbooks, since of all protein foods meat Is the most ex- pensive, It's cost far in advance and out of proportion to It's value as a food What we pay for in our choice tenderloin steak Is not nourishment. but flavor!
