They're everywhere" said the first
DandeliOn. They're not snobbish, yet
they do love well-kept lawns and
beautiful grounds.
"But they don't sing any more
sweetly here than they do near a

Il don't wonder they enjoy it here,
the second Dandelion said, "as it Is

Oh, it was so rich, so rich that not

You could tell from the look of it
that there were many, many people
employed to keep the place in perfect
order.
Not a border around a flower bed or
path was uneven. Nothing had been
left to be done on another day.
There was not shrub that was not
perfectly trimmed, nor a hedge nor
was the grass any longer than it
should be.
All the flower beds, shrubs, walks,
paths, roadways, lawns, terraces were
in perfect, perfect order.
Exception one of the finest ter
races there were these two Dande-
lions.
There was not a dandeliOn any
where else. A dandelion root was dug
up with such hurry that it never had
the chance to become flower, and
then bit Of fluff to be blown about
with the wind and SO to scatter its
seed.
The dandelions had no chance here
to be gay and bright and yellow, or
naughty and seed-throwing.
This was the first time any dande-
lions had come to flower.
And there they were, not far off
from each other, two bright, bright
yellow dandeliOns in a smooth, per-
feet green terrace.

What Foods Are Best TO

are valuable for this on account of the
celluiose present. states the United

New Style Bustles

There is no question but that bustles
now occupy an important place in
dress. But there seems to be a good
deal Of dissensiOn as to where that
place Is located. They constitute one
of the principal ornaments of evening
frocks and are generally formed of
large gold, silver, or copper gauze
sash, knotted into huge bow But
some are placed In the conventional

the rear of the right hip and some

(PrSpared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture,)
Have you tried mock duck? When it
comes to the table, 1t looks like a
duck-a neat Drowned roll, dressed
with a bit Of parsley-but It's really
a flank steak. This, of course, is one
of the least expensive cuts of beef,
so your household allowance for the
table today will go a little further
than usual. A flank steak is almost
the only piece of beef which has no
bone, the United States Department
of Agriculture points out, and as there
is little fat or other waste on it, two
pounds will be enough for the average
family. Be sure the butcher does not
score it. Scoring, or cutting the sur
face, merely lets most of the delicious
meat juices escape into the pan, and
the result is a dry and tasteless dish.
The flank steak is to be stuffed and
rolled, then braised in a covered
roasting pan, and served with plenty
OF gravy.
Ingredients for Stuffinq.
Make a stuffing of the following in
gradients:
~ cups of stale 1 small onion
bread (soaked in (minced)
warm water and II cup finely
squeezed out Un chopped t
TIL 1t is just either beef suet
mOist) or salt porll)
L tsp. salt u tsp. pepper
1a cup of celery
Mia these we'll and spread the
Stufing over the steak. Roll it up so
that when cut for serving you will
cut through the grain. Fasten it with
butchers skewers or tie it with clean
string Roll the outside of the "mock
duck" in flour, then scar the surface
in a small amount Of fat in a baking
pan. Add more flour if necessary, so
as to have enough for brown gravy.
When the meat is thoroughly scared
on all sides. add a cup of water, COW
er closely and cook until tender. This
should require about 11A hours. Add
more water if necessary when making
your gravy. When the meat is done,
mix two tablespoonfuls of fat with an
equal amount of flour, add the liquor
from the meat pan and enough water,
which may be that which you have
drained from the potatoes, to make
as much gravy as you need. If the
steak had fat on it there may be
enough fat and also flour in the pan to
make the gravy without adding any
other.

Reversed Vests

The French designers are not turn
coats, but they have reversed the
vests. The gowns of darker colorings
