After the Holiday
by wINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

In the wise plan of the universe
matters are so arranged as to make
it impossible for us to walk continue
ously on spiritual heights, to spend
all our time in unre1ieved labor or to
remain in a perpetual round of fes-
tivities.
This is good, as it makes for intel
lectual and spiritual progress.
The inevitable periods of transi-
ton. however, are sometimes diff
cult.
Take, for example, the after-holiday
reaction. Merrymaking and feasting
are over; the long road of work
stretches away down the year, and
we feel that need of giving ourselves
mental and physical shake. that
we may start the circulation going
and throw off the feeling of lethargy.
Some of US do not fully realize how
large a share food bears in this
process.
The fact that the sensation of dull
ness may be partly due to overfndul-
gence in Christmas goodies fs not
the only factor to be considered. To

right away. Nanny is.,a great home
lover ana was anxious Is eet this new
home completed at once. SO presently
they started out to look for some
thing to make their bed Of. There

But he did know that this would
make the loveliest kind of bed. and
he carried as much of it back to the

Just as tickled with it as Danny had
been and she went with him to get
more. 1t was quite q. journey for two
such small folks, but they felt that
II was worth il. So at last the new
home was completed and Danny and
Nanny felt quite settled.
With the new home finished, there
was no work to be done and nothing
in particular to do but to hunt for
food and to get acquainted with their

they cut little private paths for them
selves in many directions, and soon
they felt quite as much at home as if
they had always lived in the Sunny
South.
For while they thought they had
no neighbors. Then one moonlight
night they ventured over to the field
where they had found the cotton.
That field was all grown up to weeds.
Presently Danny discovered a little
very like the little paths that h9
and Nanny cut in the grass. only it
was somewhat bigger.
Somebody lives around here;
whispered Danny to Nanny. who do
you suppose it can be?''
Don't ask me- replied Nanny. Il
think we'd better get away from here.
Whoever made this path may not
like to have US using il"
But Danny wouldn't listen. His
curiosity was too much for him. He
insisted on going on. Nanny was
afraid to be left behind. so she fol-
lowed.
Pretty soon the path branched.
Danny stopped. He was trying to de-
eide whether to keen on or to try this
branch. Before he could make up his
mind they heard approaching foot
steps. Danny and Nanny crawled into
the grass at the side of the little
path and waited. Presently down the
little branch path came running a
stranger At the point where the two
paths joined he stopped for Il mo-
ment, so they had a good look at him.
He was little bit bigger than
Danny and his coat was coarse and
'brownish. His head was not quite SO
blunt as Danny's, but he had the same
kind of thick body, and his legs were
short, just as We're those of Danny
and Nanny. In fact, he looked very
much like big Meadow Mouse.

BY H. A. EMNONS.

We usually think of sumacs as
wild. unkempt shrubs growing along
the edge of the woods or in over
grown fields; shrubs with punches of
attractive deep red berries and with
brilliant autumnal foliage of various
shades of red and scarlet, but we sell
dom think of them as ornamentals,
cultivated to grace the lawn. Such
is the present species which is the
most showy of all the sumacs; 1t is
grown principally for its flowers,
which are creamy white in color in
large. broad, erect panicles often a
foot long. or course, its handsome
pinnate foliage is also an attraction,
both in its summer green and au-
tumn gayety, and its large lunches or
red fruits as well.
The genus of sumacs is well repre-
sented in the botany of the world.
There are about $50 known species
in the temperate and subtropical re-
gions of both the northern and south
ern hemispheres. Most of them are
deciduous, a few are evergreen. A
few are quite poisonous, as our COM
mon poison ivy (Rhus toxicodendren)
