FOXY CRANDPA'S STORIES
How He Fooled the Mosquitoes.

1t was a raw, bleak day in Deem
Der and not very good day for
crossing from England TO France, but
we couldn't wait, because we had
taken the Bombay Express from Lon
don and were on our way to Marseilles
in southern France. to embark on the
STEAMER which would take us to India.
So we had to take the boat that day
and cross the English Channel, storm
or no storm.
/ had engaged a cabin, but as We
walked mp the gangplank, Bobby said !:
''Think I'll stay on deck, Foxy
Grandpa"
Think III stay with you. Bobby"
Neither of us admitted it, but We
were both thinking that there was less
chance of getting sea-sick if we stayed
in the air. Because although We are
both very good sailors, you can never
tell what will happen to you on one
of those channcl-boats in December.
They can turn more flip-flops, make
more nOse-dives and tail-spins than
any boats in the world.
You know it is the many cross
currents which cause this. That is
the reason it is so hard for even
champion swimmers to swim that
channel. That is what stopped Miss
Ederle.
I must go on with my story. While
we were sitting on our bags on deck,
shaking with the cold. but preferring
that to being seasick below, Bobby
whispered to me:
DO you see that young lady over
there
"Where?" I asked, because Bobby
is too polite to point.
''The one in that leopard-skin coat.
She must be Russian"
"Why?" asked. What makes you
think she is Russian? She looks Eng
lish to me-"
"She's got Russian boots on" Bob
by whispered. Look!
"Wait a minute" said. "She's
speaking of her boots"

Eyes, they are rather sensible"
said the young lady TO her friend in
a perfect English accent. This trip
is so cold and j like TO stay on deck
so l wear mosquito-boots to keep my
legs warm. 1 fancy many people
might take me for a Russian" And
Bobby looked at me.
"Mosquito-boots," repeated Bobby.
"Um," came out of my pocket for
that it where Bunny was travelling
and felt him poke his head out to
see what was going on.
We landed in Bombay after n fine
voyage through the Red Sea and Suez
Canal. Whew! But wasn't it hot
there! Bunny said he was sorry he
had worn his coat. but didn't know
what to do about it.
In Bombay we met an English gen.
tleman, a friend of ours, who volun-
teered to 60 shopping with us, while
we bought our outfit to go into the
jungle.
We bought helmets, lined with red,
to keep out the piercing rays of the
Indian sun and then our friend said:
"Now for your mosquito-boots."
Bunny and Bobby looked at me, but
said nothing.
''They are the most important thing
for this country" continued the Eng
lishman. "You know the malaria-mos-
quito flies close to the ground. That
is why these soft leather boots are
indispensable. If you wear these you
are not likely TO get bitten by one
of those little disease-carriers. But the
way, I'm afraid We can't fit your lit
tie friend Bunny"
"I'll wear my fur boots" laughed
Bunny. "And besides. can always
spot those fellows. You know they
stand on their heads when they bite
you. SO if / see any mosquitoes do
ing acrobatic stunts on my legs, I'll
just do n handstand myself and kick
them off"

There probably never will come a
time when dishes can be entirely
washed by magic, but much has been
done to slay the old bugbear of dish
washing. First. there arc the soaps
and the soap flakes which make a
quick light suds that cut grease with
out eating the hands TO a horrid rcd
state of irritation and that never re-
fuse TO suds no matter how hard the
water.
Then there are several devices, each
with its little trick of making things
easier at dish washing time. Of these
the rubber plate scraper is great
blessing. With it the plates may be
made almost as clean as the platter
of Jack Spratt. This saves the dish
water from no end of grease and
crumbs and general messiness. The
various brushes now made also help
lot.
There is one for the percolator that
keeps that stale taste out of the
coffee pot by cleaning the stem of the
coffee. Unless this is as fresh and
clean as the pot itself the mornings
coffee will carry with it unpleasant
ghostly flavors Of the coffee. of other
days. In fact brush for the actual
washing of dishcs--if you choose one
with n handle and made, with loop
is even better than dish mop ONE
you get used to using it.
For the horrid pots and pans the
mops that are made of copper wire
mesh have nearly if not quite de-
stroyed all the unpleasant part of this
phase of dish washing. They are
quick and efficient, reach all the cor
ners and crevices and scrub without
injury to the fingers.
As for mechanical dish washers
there are several that are of simple

type within the price reach Of every

do the work of those operated by cleo

family in the small apartment or
house they are great help. What
they do they do well.

MEDITATIONS OF A WIFE
D., LEI EN- pOWI AND
What Is Happiness?
BY HELEN ROWLAND

My daughter, hear now the parable
of the Happy Man.
For 10, all men have sought the
Kingdom of Happiness, but few have
found the way.
Now, in his youth, the-man-who.
wouldbe-happy dreamed of Fame. and
beheld himself crowned with garlands.
and heard in his cars the plaudits of
the multitude.
And, he put aside many fair de-
sires and turned his back upon pleas
IRE and all his days were spent in
labor and in striving. And it came to
pass. in time, that his wish was
granted him.
But when he sat among the Mighty
he heard no plaudits but only the
whisper of envy and the sneers of the
backbiters. And his heart was exceed
ingly sad. For he prcceived that a
great man is only a beam in the eye
and target for the tongue of Islander.
Then the Man said, ALAS, it is not
fame but LOVE which bringcth hap
piness! Lead me TO it.
And he found damsel who pleased
his eye and delighted his heart, and
set out TO win her with burnt offer
ings and promises and applesaucc.
But when he had wed her and set
her up in his house, she cnticed his
sccptre away from him, and ruled over
him with whims and naggings, and

tears and tyranny. And he was sore
of heart and more lonely than before.
Thcreupon, the Man set himself to
acquire riches. For" he said, money
is power. And, prcadventure. it will
BUY happiness" And, after many
years. it came to pass that his Golfers
overlooked, and in his garage were
seven automobiles, and in his office
were seven blonde stenographcrs.
But 10. he found himself beset by
grafters and insurance agents and
false friends and robbers in friends
clothing. And his life, itself. was not
safe from them that would fitch his
moneys from him.
And he became a cynic concerning
all mankind.
Then the Man gave away all he
had and set forth alone. 10 far couu-
try. And to cheer his spirit. he made
a little song of pleasant rhymes and
sang it as he went.
And behold, for tho first time In
all his life he was HAPPY
For 10, all his days. he had de-
sired TO make songs and to sing them
but had never found the time or tha
courage.
And he said in his heart:
AT last. at last. have found the
secret For. verify, verify, only that
man is happy who doeth the thing
which he rejoiceth to do-who hath
found his WORK and is FREE

TABLE TALKS
Dinner Menu
By ALICE IRWIN

, pleasing and novel means e be4m>
ming the meal.
She may take tip from TIE French
manner Of beginning meals and serve
les hors d'oeuvres. These may be such
simple foods as sardines, olives, beets
or eggs, or may be very elaborate as
sentiments.
For a simple luncheon each guest
may find at her place a small plate
containing a stuffed egg and large
sardine. To this may be added q
picked beet cut in slices or piece OF
celery stuffed with Roquetfort cheese.
These four things garnished with one
ripe olive and one green olive make
most tempting arrangement of Ape
Tiers.
For those whose palates are accus-
toned to the more expensive flavors a
cornucopia filled filled with salmon or
caviar may be garnished with ripe
olives and sections of hard-cooked egg.
On an anchovy canape, which is mere
IL a piece of toast covered with an
choyy paste and decorated with bits
of pimento, olive and parsley, is
tempting first course. A more SIM
pie method Of serving anchoyy is TO
put the jar containing the paste on a
small service plate and pass IT with
sailed crackers or water-thin pieces Oh
toast.
The hors d'oeuvres may also in
clude such dclicacies as pate de foie
gras. smoked salmon and imported
sausage. Pate de foie gras is chilled
and served very cold. garnished vita
parsley; or is made into the form OF
canapes. Still another method OF
serving it is nodded in aspic.
Recently I saw a particularly pleas
ing appetizer served as the first course
Mt a dinner. Each portion consisted
Of thin strip of pimiento, one shrimp.
a thin slice OF smoked herring, half OF
hard-cooked egg, two olives stufied
with celery, n small portion OF CAVIAR
and n small sardine. These were
nodded with aspic in individual moids,
which were turned out on service
plates and thanked by a small mound
of Hollandaise and three-finger strips
Of toast.
A simple, but always welcome
wny of starting a meal is to serve
grapefruit or iced melon. In the
Sunday dinner menu discussed IN
this column last week a fruit
cnnape was described which would
mako charming introduction for an
informal luncheon.
Those who prefer the more conyen-
tional beginnings may start their
luncheons or dinners with cocktalis
of oysters, lobster or crab meat; with
fruit cocktails composed of any de-
sired assortment of fruits-a really
splendid kind comes already assembled
in glass jars-or with soup:
ii soup is chosen for the first
course, a plain bouillon or consomme
is preferred to the cream soups;
which are n bit too filling TO be used
when a heavy meal is to follow.
The possibility Of serving a salad
as a first course is one which is not
often overlooked in this country. A
salad of crisp fresh vegetables or fresh
fruits make q most pleasing beginning
for a meal. OF course, when salad
is used in this way it is not served
again later in the meal.
