to climb again.
But he was only half way up the
tree when he heard a crashing in

Mother Bear had heard those cries
and was coming. For just a second
more Boxer hesitated. Then he
started down, and he started down a
lot faster than he had started up.
The crashing in the brush drew
nearer at a surprising rate. 1t was
clear that Mother Bear was coming
in hurry.
Boxer let go and dropped Yes,

couldn't take the time to climb

trouS marriage, most or us are wary
of meddling in other peoples love
affairs. Still, now and then, when
we see a foolish young girl who is
about to plunge into lifelong misery
by uniting herself with a worthless
gOod-fOr-nothing, or a disappointed
rounder, or we perceive an infatuat-
ed boy on the point of committing
harikari by marrying a selfish
shrew, or a fashion-p plate, or Il
brainless, heartless baby doll stuffed
with sawdust, we do feel it on our
cOnsciences to reach out a hand
and try to save them.
Then the question becomes how to
do it. You cannot appeal to rea-
son, for love knows no reason. To
openly object to a match is simply
to precipitate it. Forbidden fruit is
always the sweetest, and the thing
we can't have is the thing we want
the most.
Shut the door In an unsuitable
suitors face, and any girl will give
you the slip and meet him on the
streets. Threaten to disinherit any
boy for marrying an Objectionable
girl and he will hurry to the parson
with her just to show that he can't
be bulldozed. Put a youth or mai
den on the defensive, make them
the champions and defenders Of
those with whom they think they
are in love, and they become blind
to the most obvious faults, deaf to
every argument, reckless of conse-
quences and all is over but the
elopement.
You cannot use Strong-arm meth
DDS in breaking up a match. 1t has
to be done by subtlety, and every
move made sd insidiously that those
who are saved from their foolish
fancies always believe that they
saved themselves.
Not long ago a group Of mothers
told with amusement how they had
turned the trick, and had prevented
their children from making undesir-
able marriages. Said one:
my Mamie thought herself very
much in love with a handsome and
fascinating young chap, who was
so temperamental that he had never
found his life work. Commercial
ism revolted his poetic soul. He
thought that he might be an artist
or writer, but in the meantime
he talked beautifully about how
much better it was to be than to do.
He had Mamie fairly hypnOtized.
I said nothing against him, but I
got his mother to invite Mamie to
pay her visit. The poor woman

So many times there are directions

Preparing HOneysuckle Vines for
Basketry
When l lived in Florida / used
to see many baskets in the country
homes made of what we called wire
grass and some of the long leaf pine,
sometimes they were mixed. l used
to see doll hats made of them and
sometimes I would try to make some
thing but I did not have the right
quality and was never encouraged
Will Tie I6SullS' IIciu a ONtLuIl1 " L
basket sent me for a Christmas pres
ent, and wonder how l ever got
along without it. Up here there are
more baskets made of willow and
some of honeysuckle, as the latter
is almost a pest on many farms l
am going to tell you how to prepare
it for basket making. 1t is such a
simple process and the finished work
is so beautiful L feel sure you can
soon begin to- make some of your
Christmas presents. Mats to put I'M
der hot dishes and little pin trays
can be made of the tiny twigs, and
afford practice in handling the ma
terial.
The vines should be gathered late
in the summer or early in the fall,
the growing season must be over.
To remove the bark from the vines
you must boil them one hour and
a half in clear water. Then when
you remove them from the water
you take rather coarse piece OF
cloth and wipe the stems to get all
the bark off of them. Some people
use I've in the boiling water to short
en- the time of boiling, but the stems
are never as white if I've is used. The
process of weaving is exactly the
same as for willow work.
Best Eggs
If you have a little cold beef, ham
or fish you may use that as the foun-
dation, but if you do not have the
cold meat and want to give your
family Something new, you may open
"a can of salmon, or grind up two
cups of ham, whatever may be used
it will take two cups well seasoned
of meat or fish, one cup Of thick
white sauce, six eggs, or one for each
member of the family, and a gen
erous supply Of buttered crumbs.
Grease the individual cups and then
sprinkle them with the breadcrumbs.
Add the minced meat or fish to the
white sauce, put a spoonful of the
mixture in each cup, break a raw egg
over this, cover with another spoon
full of the mixture, then a slight
sprink1ing Of the crumbs and bake
fifteen or twenty minutes in a mod
crate oven. If you want to make
it a rather ceremonious affair it is
nice to turn each cup out on pref
ty little plate and garnish with a
spoonful Of English peas or creamed

of those who select books for the
schools of the present day, but am
going to tell you that it is my can
did opinion that if there was more
real literature and less HennyPen-
ny stuff there would be a better
foundation for the higher classics.
[ know it is not considered good
taste to condemn anything modern,
but just the same will you tell me
what you have in your mental make
up to add to the future, if the pres
ent day rigmarole in the usual first
and second readers should be the
only diet? L have always enjoyed
| the fairy stories Of every land and
wore out more than one copy of
Grimm's fairy tales and the same of
Hans Anderson, 1 see these stories
are "judiciously' interspersed in the
additional reading laid down for the
children. Why not have more of
that sort and less of the little red
hen sort and the sort of recitations
the children memorize will last as
long as life. Jazz music, trashy
song, double meanings 70 stories told
and all the familiarity one sees on
| the streets is a long sweep of the
pendulum in the wrong direction. I
don't say they are immoral, but [
do say they are immoral. Initiating

not a~high ideal. There are many

The Thing That Boxer Forgot

! Most often it's what you forget
That causes you the most regret
Mother Bear.
Jealous. angry, bound to get even,
Boxer, the half-grown young bear,
reached the foot of the tree in which
! the triplets, his little brother and
two little sisters, were playing and
| having such a good time. For a mo-
ment he stood still and glared up at
| them. Then he stood up, dug his
claws into the trunk Of the tree and
started to climb up.
The sound of those claws was the
first hint the triplets had that any
| one was about. They leaned over
land peered down curiOusly. They ex-
pected to see their mother down be-
meath them. When they discovered a
strang bear, a bear they had never
seen before, you can guess how
| frightened they were. There was an
ugly look about this stranger. 1t
was clear to them that he meant
| them no good. For a second or two
they were too frightened to do any
| thing but cling to the tree and stare
down at Boxer.
Then one turned and began to
| scramble up higher. AT once the
other two followed, and as they
scrambled all three began to bawl.
Now, three crying little bears can
make quite noise. 1t was this that
Boxer had forgotten. He had for
gotten that they might cry out for
| their mother. He should have re-
membered it. He should have re-
membered. the time when he and his
| twin sister, Wool Wool, were about
I the size, of these little cubs and had
been frightened in just the same
way by their father, Buster Bear.
He and Woof-Woof had done exact.

ing; they had scrambled frantically
as high as they could and had
bawled as hard as they could. Moth
er Bear had heard them and had
arrived just in time.
But this had been so long ago that
