fairy cup of soft cotton.

And it takes a great deal Of both to
keep a pair of wings going as fast
as the wings of a shummingbird move.
Mrs. Hummer managed to keep that

sharpest eyes would be likely to see
it, and she herself moved so swiftly
that it was almost impossible to
watch her and see where she went.

you forget before you wake up.
A good dreem is a dreem you wish

mite mare is a dreem it would
be fearse to have happen to you In

enuff to even dreem about, sutch as
having to take a bath in the middle
of the week and then being stuck in
the bath tub on account of 1t being
full of glue so you cant even take

People that wouldn't even go out
of the house without hat on often
dreem about running erround the
streets with nuthing- on but towel

how unlucky you are, lots of fearse
things could happen to you that axu-

the fragrance and satisfying qualities
of a Mexican dish, ever since favor

says:
at is a large heaping platter Of
rice, the rice boiled so that each
grain is separate, though thoroughly
cooked. On the mound of rice are
between the eggs, crisp slices of
bacon, while the edge of the platter
is garnished with fried bananas. 1t
is a dish that is a meal in itself. and
when prepared as carefully as If the

instead of the least, it is delicious.

placed the eggs, bacon and bananas
on the rice with the precision of

Warsaw, Poland, Feb. 27.-One of
the romances of American welfare
work abroad has just reached it's
climax in the formal transfer of the

action means that only five years
after its introduction into Poland as

army, Y. M. G.. A. work here has
grown into the permanent form so
familiar to the people of America.
The formal transfer, which took
place in the Warsaw Y. M. c. A..
building, was the occas ion for a cerc-
mony attended by the President Of
Poland and many other Of its notable
citizens. Paul Super, National Y.
