quite ripe, and then at his leisure he
can open them and take out the seeds.
Sometimes he has great pile of cones
In his storehouses he puts away
acornS, chestnuts, hickory nuts, beech
nuts and even butternuts. When he
can easily get corn you will find
plentiful supply in one of his store
houses. Like his big cousin, Happy
Jack the Gray Squirrel, he sometimes
hides things under the leaves. But he
does not do this as generally as Happy
Jack. There is little danger that
Chatterer will go hungry in the
Winter Moreover, with several store
houses he is sure to come through
nicely even though one of those store
houses may be destroyed. Long ago
he learned not to put all his treasures
in one place.
But though Chatterer has at all
times an ample supply. he doesn't be-
)ieve in drawing on that supply when
he can find food elsewhere. So he
hunts for his daily food much as
other little people do. But, of course,
he doesn't go hungry as others do
when they cannot find enough. It Is
then that he draws on his storehouses
Chatterer had one particular store
house which would have surprised
Peter Rabbit could he have peeked
INTO IT, InlS nad Deen q splendid
year for hickory nuts, and in that
storehouse Chatterer had such a sup
ply Of nuts as Peter wouldn't have
believed it possible for so small
person to have gathered. You know,
Chatterer Is one Of those busy people
who always have time for something
else. You'll find it that way all
through life. The busiest people are
always the people it is easiest to
get to do something else. When Chat
terer works, he works. When he
plays, he plays. He doesn't put off
till the next day the work which
should be done today. The time to
make hay is when the sun shines.
The time to gather nuts is when they
are ripe. All the Squirrel family
know this. That is why you seldom
if ever find their storehouses empty.

ade or punch, etc, It is easy to see
the extent to which harlequin sets
simplifies work. Each person, for in
stance, at a gathering where there are
nto a large number can drink repeat
edly from his own goblet, knowing
1t is his for a certainty. 1t is not
essential for him Tor herr to use a
fresh glass each time. Ref1lling the
first one used is all that is necessary.
l have stressed the various artistic
points in these harlequin sets in order
TO make homemakers understand that
economy, while not lacking in them,
is not the prime reason for their
vogue. And now having emphasized
these facts, let me focus attention on
the sets from the viewpoint of the
average homemaker who delights in
interesting furnishings for her table.
Assembling Sets.
Could anything lend itself more de-
hghtfully to the needs of such home
makers? The china closet can be
searched and many an old cup and
saucer the two pieces matching, of
course) can be put to use again,
though they may have been laid aside
for years; the antique teapot of an
other set and the sugar and cream
from other old pieces be ferreted out
and restored to use in a way that
would be gratifying to them If they
could but speak. To these pieces can
be added, from time to time, other
cups and saucers or such pieces as
are found wanting to complete the
correct number and kind for a set.
The lure of the collector will seize
you, and you will be looking for at
tractive porcelainS wherever you go
as wellsas in the shops in your own
town. You will find yourself learning
different styles, makes and marks. and
so adding to your store of information
such as connoisseurs delight in. Let
me add that it is not alone in cups
and saucers, tea things and glasses
that harlequin sets consist. Plates
and serving dishes may be included,
until finally you have a collection in
which you may deservedly take pride.
A Hint for Christmas.
BY the way,~if you know of any
friend who is making a collection for
a harlequin set, nothing will please
her more for Christmas gift than
some piece to add to it. Fortunately
cup and saucer alone or single plate
or other piece can be had at prices to
suit any purse, and you can have the
satisfaction Of realizing your choice
will be felicitous.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are,
although benign, not actively favor
able. Stimulation is lacking, although
there will be experienced d sense of
complacency and contentment, very
much in keeping with the spirit of the
day. At times there will be sensed
a desire to find fault, not with your
self, but with others. This should
be curbed, and a philosophical calm
established. There are in every home
little incidents that rub one the wrong
way; meaningless words that Jar;
actions that irritate. II these are
dwelt upon, differences ensue and acri-
mony reignS supreme. Remember that
none of us are perfect, and that hap
piness can only be secured by con-
sideration, not of ones self, but of
others.
Children born tomorrow will vary
in health conditions according to their
sex. Whereas a boy will be weak
and ailing during his early years and
in spite of this, attain normal ma jor-
ity, a girl will pass through the years
Of childhood with flying colors, but
will, for q few years, be anemic and
easily tired.
In disposition and character. they
will be very similar. They will be
studious and restrained in their ac-
tions; introspective and deliberate;
painstaking and Industrious. They
will have great ambitions. and, even
If they should not reach the goal they
set out to conquer. will achieve more
than if they had been satisfied with
a lesser perspective.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are inclined to be moody, but more
for personal, than for public. con-
sumption. 1t is very difficult for you to
look on the bright side of things. and
your attention seems permanently fixed
on a gloomy outlook. You do not
wait until you come to a bridge be-
fore attempting a crossing. You
visualize bridges where none do, or
can. exist.
You are determined. although, in
your case. determination is often an
other word for stubbornness. Your
ever-present desire is to act on i'm
pulse. but a mirage of coming disaster
and failure always gets in the way
and you steer yourself around imagin-
ary moats of dispair and castles of
dire happenings.
Capability and energy are your
strongest assets. and, being demon.
strative and very affectionate, your
nature demands love and attention,
Well known persons born on this
date are: Allen B. Wilson, inventor;
Helen Hunt Jackson. C'H. HI author:
Thomas B. Reed. Congressman and

Orange Cream.

Two tablespoonfuls granulated gela-
tin, one-half cup boiling water, grated
orange rind from one orange, one cup
full orange juice, one-half cupful cold
water, three-quarters cupful sugar,
one tablespoonful lemon juice. Dis
solve the gelatin in the cold water, add
the boiling water, then the sugar,
orange rind and juice, with lemon
juice last. Stir well and strain into
a mold. If desired only half may be
strained, leaving the other part of the
jelly to contain the grated rind. Set
away in a cold place and when the
cream begins to thicken fold in the
heavy cream which has been stiffiy
beaten. Mold in a ring mold. This
makes a stiff jelly which may be cut
in cubes and arranged in different
fashions, according to taste. -

GAFFNEI.
VARIATIONS Gafney, MacGaf-
ney.
RACIAL ORIGlN-lrish.
SOURCE--A descriptive surname.

You have very little difficulty in
identifying the name of Gaffney or
Gafney when you see it or hear it.
But suppose you had the name of
''MacGamhnaigh" sprung on you sud
denly. do you think YOU would recog-
nize it, and pronounce it even approx
tmately correctly?
1t takes some familiarity with the
peculiar Gaelic spelling to recognize
off hand that "MacGamhnaigh" is pro-
nounced "MacGafney." Yet it is a
fact that the Gaelic speaker finds the
spelling of his language really more
accurate guide to pronunciation than
English is, for there are more rules
and fewer exceptions than in English.
The Clan MacGafney was one of the
comparatively few Irish clans whose
name was based upon the descriptive
surname of the founder rather than
upon his given name. In this instance
his given name was "Gothfrfth,'
which would seem to indicate posses
sion of some Danish or Morse blood
along with the Gaelic. He was sur
named the "Gamhnach." Il word diff
cult to translate satisfactorily into
English, but indicating a COW that is
nearly dry. Perhaps this Gothfrith
was a chieftain Of thin and wiZened
appearance, with scanned and wrin-
killed. face.

How Can I Be Sure?

| Mimi, l am so anxious not to make
a botch of love and marriage that l
| worry myself sick over the fact that
| | am engaged-just when l ought to
| be happiest. The man L am engaged
| to is suitable in every way, and we
are in love with each other, at least as
! far as / know anything of love.
But how can | be sure? L read
| everywhere that girls are tricked into
marriage by good looks and money
and though it doesn't seem to me that
my love for my fiance has anything
materiaN as its foundation, still it
seems impossible for me to be certain
| on this point.
| as there anv set rule for testing
Yourself as to whether you really care?
| Can 1 do something that will make me
quite secure and confident in my love
for this man." ENGAGED.
1t isn't at all possible to give you a
definite rule by which you may de-
termine the state of your feelings for
| the man who is TO be your husband.
Because you are no doubt different
in some ways from all other girls, IL
would be quite hopeless to try to use
a general rule handed out to every
one.
You must search your mind for
those things which you hold most
+, valuable and desirable in life.
And then you must ask yourself
whether it would be possible for you
to give up all those things for the sake
of your husband.
Nowadays, with the craze for popu-
larity at its height, the modern girl
very often asks herself:
Am l willing to give up all the adj
miration and flattery from scores of
admirers just for the pleasure of set
ting down TO one man who VIII grow
more or less used to me and Will grad
ually get out of the habit OF making
pretty speeches?
will L be contented to spend quiet
evenings at home while my unmarried
friends are enjoying parties and
dances?
viii I grin and bear it when my
best friend rusheS over to show me her
lovely new frock and | suddenly real
ize that I'm still wearing my trousseau
things, now quite shabby"
If you are q business girl, ask your
self whether your love is strong
enough to counterbalance, the rather
unpleasant business of becoming de-
pendent on some one else for your very
pocket money-when you have before
been so independent and free?
Ii none of these questions are i'm
portant to you, then suppose you
write and tell me just what sort of
a girl you are-your likes and dislikes
your aims and ambitions.
Then l shall be better able to set
test for YOU.
The best general rule any one seems
to have thought OF yet is to ask your
self what particular hardship would
seem to you most difficult TO endure
and then to determine in your own
mind whether your love is powerful
enough to carry you through just that
hardship.
Mimi will be glad to answer your
love question. Just enclose a stamped
addressed envelope for a personal
reply.

Could Peter have followed Chatterer
all that day he would have been both
interested and surprised. Chatterer
the Red Squirrel is one of the smartest
little people in the Green Forest. He
is altogether too smart to put all his
treasures in one hiding place. Like
his little cousin, Striped Chipmunk.
Chatterer has underground store
houses, and like his big cousin, Happy
Jack the Gray Squirrel, he has store
houses in hollow trees and hollow logs.
So he puts part of his Winter supply
in one place and part in another place,
and has several storehouses. And
then, as you already know, he stores
mushrooms in the forks of branches
of tree. He doesn't put them away
in hollows because they would rot
there. But left out in the open they
dry, and they are a splendid change
in Winter when he is tired of nuts and
seeds from the pine cones.
Happy Jack cares nothing about the
cones from the evergreen trees, but
these furnish Chatterer with a large
part of his food. AS l have already
said, he Is smart He is smart to cut
off those cones from the trees before
they are ripe and open. He knows
that If he waits until they are open
the seeds will drop out and sail away.

Coffee Frappe.

Beverages such as coffee, chocolate
and fruit punch are often half frozen
to a mush. when they are spoken of
as coffee, chocolate or fruit frappe.
They may or may not be served at
function where ice cream or sherbet is
served, but frappe is usually served
at reception. tea, lawn party or card
party when an ice is not served. A
frappe is served in a sherbet cup. 1t
is less sweet than a sherbet. To make
coffee frappe, take a quart Of strong
and very clear coffee chilled, add three
fourths cupful of sugar and turn into
a freezer packed as for ice cream.
Turn the crank until the mixture is
half frozen. Serve in sherbet cups
