Besides achieving real economy by
securing quality rather than guam

buys lin relays will find other ad-
vantageS to the system.
In the first place. she has pro-
longed pleasure in the furnishing of
her home. 1t is probable that her
thrill when each separate piece is
unpacked is as great as the only
nce-enjoyed delight of the bride
who buys her furniture all at once.
Then. the bride and bridegroom
who furnish their house slowly have
in the end a real home which re-
fleets their personalities-for 1t has

furnished room always lacks.
Too often the furniture bought "all-

unimaginative effect. making it ap-

there. There were some broken
shells, but that was all. Sammy Jay
knew then just how Welcome Robin
felt. Never in his life had he been
more upset. But If he felt badly, it
was nothing to the way Mrs. Jay felt
Sammy tried to comfort her, but she
wouldn't be comforted.
do you know who the thief is?''
Sammy asked.
NO" replied Mrs. Joy, shaking her
head. II was gone only q few min
had been stolen and no one was to be
seen about"
ut must have been that good-for-
nothing cousin of mine, Blacky the
Crow" muttered Sammy. Yes. sir, 1t
must have been Blacky. Tell me. my
dear, why did you leave the nest?"
Mrs. Jay hung her head. There
was a great racket going on over in
the Old Orchard" said she, land I Just
! couldn't sit still and not know what 1t
was all about. ] stood 1t as long as !
could and then flew over there to see
what was going on. Our feathered
neighbors over there were driving
Chatterer the Red Squirrel out of the
Old Orchard. After Chatterer had
disappeared I stopped to get some
thing to eat. When I got back here
! found things just as you see them
now. I guess Blacky the Crow must
have been watching to see me leave
the nest
Just then from a short distance
away in the Green Forest there was a
sharp, loud "chir-r-r-r-r-r' 1t was
the voice of Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel 1t fairly rang with joy and tri-
umph. No one hearing it would for
an instant doubt that Chatterer was
feeling very well satisfied and pleased
Sammy Jay cooked his head to one
side and listened. He turned to look
at Mrs. Jay and he saw in her eyes
the same look Of suspicion which she
saw in his eyes.
do you suppose it-was that red
coated thief" they exclaimed to-
gether. A moment later they were
sure it was, for they caught sight OF
Blacky the Crow high in the sky over
in the direction of the Green Meadows
He couldn't have stolen those eggs
and gotten way over there.
AS for Chatterer, that relocated
scamp was filled with glee. He had
had the breakfast of eggs he had SO
wanted, and at the same time he had
gotten even with Sammy Jay for
driving him out Of the Old Orchard.
He had just happened to be passing
when Mrs. Jay left the nest, and had
at once made the most of his chance.

My Neighbor Says:

When boiling milk sprinkle
the pan lightly with a little
sugar and allow it to become
very hot. Your milk will then
neither sCald nor boil over.
To remove grease spots from
clothing mix powdered French
chalk or fuller'S earth to a
paste with water or turpentine,
spread on the spot, let it stand
several days. then brush it off.
A second application may be
needed.
Painted kitchen walls may be
easily cleaned by closing all
doors and windows, then plac-
ing a boiler of water on the
stove and allowing the steam
from the boiler to dampen the
walls. In this way dust and
dirt are loosened and may be-
easily removed with a piece of
dry cheesecloth.
When inserting a tape in the
neck or waist of garment be
sure to sew it firmly into the
slot at the center-back. 1t will
then be impossible for the tape
to be withdrawn by the laun-
dress or for 1t to slip into hem.
When making a frill do not
take one long thread for the
gathers You will find it far
easier to arrange if the length
is divided into sections and the
fullness arranged regularly on
each.
When steel knives that have
been put away for a time have
become rusty put the blades in
sweet oil for half an hour and
then dig them in garden soil
several times. Polish with fine
emery cloth and the blades

What Today Means to You
Genini.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Adverse aspects prevail throughout
the day and evening, making 1t very
iuauspicious for all important mat
ters. Only ordinary and routine af-
fairs should engage your attention.
Try and overcome all feelings OF anx-
iety or depression, always remem-
bering. Behind the clouds the sun
still shines" and you will see 1t
again.
A child born today will be strong
both physically and mentally. 1t Will
however, be subject to frequent nts
of dependency and pessimism. Even
in it's earliest days, it will seek lone
illness in preference to the compan-
ionship of its playmates: This ten
dency must be counteracted as much
as possible, so as to minimize tne
eventual probability of increasing
moroseness.
If today is your birthday, you por-
tray in human form the truth of the
old adage, "All is not gold that gilt
ters." Your character and disposi- !
tion If allowed natural outlets, would
not provide criticism nor would they,
on the other hand, inspire any
eulogistic paeans. They would, how
ever, invite respect and companion

closed, and a foolish love OF display
otherwise would he characterized by
ordinary virtues of everyday intel
ligence and honesty
You glitter. but rarely, If ever,
shine Your knowledge, visible
though it may be, is superficial; your
conversation, at times brilliant, Is
never profound: your actions, al
though they may momentarily daZ-
zle, never impress. You are imbued
with the sole ambition to go one
better than your neighbors. and
spend money and time foollshly In
trying to achieve this end.
Your business suffers as a result of
your love of display. Shoddy invari-
ably looks pretty, but substance
alone endures.
Your home life is a continual
struggle to outshine your friends.
Your children, if you have any. are
used in your parade, and you worry
more about their appearance and
what they look like than what they
Mediocrity, clothed in the gar

dressed in modest and humble ap-
parel, is easily recognized and ac-
knowledged by all.

Giggles and Laughter.

Giggling and laughing are two
very different things. A child left to
himself never giggles. He may laugh
aloud and come running to tell you
about the funny thing that happened,
but he won't giggle. Giggling is done
in groups; it is what is called a herd
action. and to my mind it is not a
healthy action.
There is never any real cause for
giggling. 1t generally means that
the group has lost direction, doesn't
know where to turn next nor what
to do. One looks vacantly at another
and giggles, that one bumps a shoul-
der and, staring back, giggles.
From one to the other the sign of the
mental vacuum spreads and ''Tee-hee.
tee-bee!" is the burden it lays upon

Cucumber Relish.

Large, partly ripe cucumbers are
best for this purpose. Cut the Gu
cumbers in halves lengthwise, remove
the seeds and soft portion. then crate
and measure. Allow half as much
vinegar as there is pulp. To each
quart of pulp allow two even tea
spoonfuls of salt, four teaspoonfuls
of grated horseradish, and one-fourth
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Mix
well and bottle. II corks are used,
seal with wax. Use cider vinegar.

Telling the Truth.

One Mother says:
An aunt Of my children is much dis
turbed because she thinks they do not
tell the truth. 1 have pointed out to
her that they never tell an untruth to
gain an end. and that is really lying.
They do sometimes make up strange
stories of things they have seen" or
heard" but they will readily admit
that the story wasn't real. In that case
/ sometimes help them elaborate the
story, as l believe this encourages vivid
Imagination. I think many parents
crush children'S imaginativeness by too

stolen the eggs of Welcome and Mrs
Robin. and no one had suspected him.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel had been
blamed for it. So Sammy Jay
chuckled wickedly and thought him
self very smart.
But as Sammy drew near the hem

fully hidden, there was A shrek from
