BEDTIME STORIES BY y. 1M9SHES' sS%s4s2

Danny's got tired quite easily. SO he
didn't travel very far that first day.
He didn't travel far enough to feel at
all easy in his mind about Reddy
Fox: SO when he took a nap he didn't
sleep as we'll as he might have. At
night he kept on his way. He found
it a lot harder travelling than he
thought II would be. You see he had
no nice little paths cut through the
grass. When the tide was out. he
found that he could run along the
edge of the mud flats: but when the
tide was in, he had to get back on
high land.
1t was just after daylight the sec
ond day that Danny had his first real
adventure. He had by this time be-
come so used to things that he had
grown a little bit careless. In other
words, he didn't look as sharply as
he should to see just where he was
going. SO II was that he ran out
from under some oVerhanging grass
on the edge of the mudfiat to dis
cover Black crown the Night Heron
standing motionleSs. watching for
some minnoWS to come within reach.
Danny almost ran over one of Black
crowns toes before he saw Black
crown at all.

Certainly, he never turned more
quickly in his life. He turned and
darted under the overhanging grass,
and as he did so Black-Crown saw him
from the corner of his eye. Like a
fash Black crown turned and drove
that long bill OF his into that grass.
He Just missed Danny. If Danny
hadn't happened to turn just as
| Black crown did that bill wouldn't have
| missed him. Danny squealed with
fright and darted along under the
| grass. Black-crown followed. driving
that long bill of his into the grass
every time he saw it move. Why he
didn't catch Danny, Danny doesn t
know to this day. At last Danny
| found an old hole of a Muskrat in the
hank. Danny darted in. How he did
hope that there was nobody at home.
He went only far enough to get out
of sight of Black-crown the Night
Heron. Then he sat down to get his
breath. ''My"' exclaimed Danny.
that was a close call. But it served

Scalloped Vegetable Oysters.

one quart vegetable oysters. two
cups white sauce, two cups bread
crumbs.
Scrape the vegetable oysters and
put them in water in which little
flour has been stirred. This keeps
them from discoloring. Cook in boil
ing hot water until tender. Make the
white sauce and arrange the vege-
tables and breadcrumbs in alternate
LAYERS in a baking dish. Pour on the
white sauce and then a layer of
crumbs with bits of butter on top.
Bake until brown.
Vegetable Broth.
This is soup made entirely with
vegetable stock and it is planned to
serve it in each case the day after
vegetable dinner.
The water in which the vegetables
were ordinarily cooked should have
been preserved and used on that day
or chilled and saved until the next
day when the vegetable stock is
made. 1t will be quite possible to
really comes or for those who have
adequate refrigeration.
In this vegetable stock place bits
of leftover cooked vegetables from
the vegetable dinner. Stew gently
with a slice or two Of onion or a stalk
of celery to flavor
The secret of success in making
this soup is the color and delicate
flavor. Constant tasting will be nee
essary and when the whole is ready
strain out the bits of vegetables and
serve the clear vegetable broth piping

What Tomorrow Means to You
by MARY BLAZE.
Libra.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
favorable. and 1t is an auspicious oc
caSlon for marriage or travel. There
cannot be much material success pred
icated for any work attempted under
the prevailing influences. On the
other hand there are no indications
that failure will ensue. 1t would be
advisable to defer any ambitious ef
forts till some other time. There will
be satisfaction experienced, however.
In the discharge Of customary duties,
or participation in congenial, recre-
alton. The best emotions of which
you are capable promise to be deeply
stirred and free rein should be given
them. This can only ConduCe not
alone to your own contentment, but
to that of those with whom you are
associated.
Children born tomorrow will, dur
ing infancy, enjoy normal health, al
though proper care should be devoted
to their nutrition and environment.
They promise much in Il physical
sense, and are destined. according to
the signs, to attain an unusually
vigorous adulthood, unmarried by any
organic condition to initiate against
perfect health. In disposition they
will be rather selfish and disposed to
pS Nf'toiNN' AcIon4hs' III SlhNNIANN anu
not very strong in loyalty. Many of
these inherent defects can. of course
be cured by good, forceful home
training. They will. however. never
be completely eradicated. The ex-
istence of these traits will not neces-
sarily prevent them attaining ma
terial success.
If tomorrow is your birthday. your
disposition is very gentle one. and
you are kind and loving. Like every
one else, you have a temper. but al
though YOU sometimes feel like boil
ing over" you never allow any steam
to escape. Your character cannot be
called strong one, as is evidenced
by the fact that all who know you
are your friends, and Of enemies you
have none. Your tastes are cultured,
you are musical. and fond of good
literature, as well as of the higher
types of amusement. You are not
very anxious to achieve any great
material success, but are content to
rest on your oars once you are
assured of reasonable competence
Your principal interest is your home,
and you have a great love for chill
dren, which is, of course, fully re
ciprocated on their part. Your love
is strong and constant, and as you
are also demOnStrative. it is only fair
to assume that you will receive the
unqualified devotion of your mate.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Lyman BeeCher, theOlogian:
Webster Wagner. inventor and manu-
facturer: Charles Aldrich, editor and
legislator: Theodore Tilton, author;

thropist. and j. Appleton Morgan.

Bouncing Balls.

There's something about the life OF
ball that catches fire with youth,
and the flames only die with the ball
A boy or girl would rather have a ball
to toss than the earth itself
OF course. YOU can't buy the same
kind of ball for a tot as you would
for a grown boy. Give the tot small
soft rubber ball that can be washed
She is bound to give you endless ex-
ercise by tossing it in great glee to
the floor for you to recover. A rubber
ball is best because she won't be able
to bite chunks out it that simply can't
be digested.
For older children a firm rubber ball
that will bounce high and far Will win
favor. There's one kind Of ball which
comes attached to a rubber string
Children can bounce it while they
walk or run, and there's no need to
run out into the street to get it when
1T bounces out of reach. 1t makes
them forget distance when they are
walking to school or are running your
errands. Young children love indoor
base balls, too. These balls have a
soft cover, and the children can play
ball without being hurt or bruised.
The older, active boy demands
foot ball as a natural right, inherited
with his citizenship. Buy him one and

serving of little pity.
No girl ought to be found at any
time of the day or evening running
around the house in a costume such
as that described.
It's dangerous habit to get into
dangerous now. and dangerous later
on, when you're married and the
cares of the household seem too
heavy to permit your looking pretty
and trim for the husband.
The really smart woman--the one
you admire and envy so because she
always achieves a look of perfection
that makes you wonder how she got
that way-have you ever wondered
how she looked in the privacy of her
home, when there was no one around
to see?
The chances are hundred to one
that you couldn't ever catch her look
ing otherwise than dainty and trim
For one of the secrets of real
Smartness is the frame of mind that
makes it perfect pleasure to dress
WELL just for the sake of accomplish
ment. Not merely to dazzle Charlie,
or to make Mary enviOus-but to
please ourselves we should form the
habit of making ourselves look as at
tractive as possible.
If we acquire the habit of looking

dress only to attract some one man,
we shall simply go out and buy
new costume now and then to make
him sit up and rub his eyes.
We won't give that attention to de-
tail which is the essence of perfection
in dress.
Wen consider the job is done well
enough If we have one or two per
fectly stunning outfits in which We
can make the other girls jealous at
teas and attract the boys at dances.
For the rest of the time we decide
anything will do. A pair of dis
reputable looking shoes. all battered
and torn? Oh, they'll do for just
running out to market. And that
awful stained and spotted blue serge
with its torn lace collar and cuffs,
can be worn under a coat in cold
days-also it will do nicely TO work
around the house in.
There's no crime in wearing old
clothes-but there is definite crime
in falling into sloppy habits when no
one is looking.
The girl who always keeps herself
trim and tidy gradually perfects her
every costume. no matter how mex
pensive, until she is achieving smart
ness through perfect grooming.
The girl who dresses only for
special occasions and people Will
never have the appeara nee Of a well

when the incentive to appear well is

the bunk. How much better of the

even to everything money can buy,

Riches are more comprehensive. They
cannot be restricted to dollars and
cents.
For instance. you may have little
| money. but have things that represent
| money. II you are taken to ride In an
| automobile of the finest make, you
could not have more luxury If you
| owned the machine and it was your

this come to many persons.

You may have a very limited in

books, beautiful objects dart, paint

Probably the things were bought when
, they cost what would seem small sums
nowadays But are you not rich in
them? You are the envy of persons
who collect antiques and who are con-
stantly in fear lest what they buy may
be but clever reproductions. AS for
yourself, you know what you have
is genuine, for it has belonged in your
family for generations. You are rich
in the things. They are taught things.
Many riches are Intangible. You
cannot feel them with your hands.
You cannot even see them with the
retina of your eye. But this does not
mean that they are nOn-eXistent.
They may be of priceless value.
Mothers value the love of their chill

wives know that they have something
far beyond anything that money can

affection of one another. Many fami-

AS these. You may be rolling in the

Good health cannot be estimated in
money. 1t is priceless Why talk
about sickness. then? Yet there are
persons who dote on talking about
ailments that are in the past. They
may be enjoying the best of health az

as fully as they can into your misery

rich in health when we are we'll. Let
us revel in its worth. When we are
well, though we may be poor in
money, we are rich beyond those who
have large incomes and are i'll.
Take Inventory of Riches.
So. before counting yourself among
those who are not rich, take an inven-
tory of what you have and see if, after
all. you are not really wealthy. You
may be. Then what terrible blunder

luxury money could buy, but she had
an overshadowing fear that she was
going to the poorhouse. 1t was dread

such an abundance about her. She
died rich, as she had lived. But, after
all. was she rich? Doesn't an appre-
citation of what one has enter into the
matter? Would you not prefer to ap-
preciate the good things you have and
live in their abundance than be like
her. even though your income was re-
