Menus for he Family

 Breakfast - Cream of wheat with sliced apricots, thin cream, crisp rye toast, peanut butter, milk, coffee.

 Dinner English mutton chops, riced potatoes, endive and orange salad, peach tapioca pudding, whole wheat bread, milk, coffee.

around in the seaweed. If you haven't, you haven't used your eyes"
 Well. l certainly haven't seen any eggs" retorted Reddy. I haven't seen any eggs and haven't seen any empty eggshells. What are you laughing at?"
 Graywing was chuckling. There was no doubt about it, Graywing was chuckling. Reddy had suspicion that he was being laughed at, and he didn't like 1t. You've got one paw on an eggshell now" said Cray wing, and chuckled more than ever.
 Reddy looked down. His forefeet were resting on a roll of seaweed which had -6een washed up by the waves. Under one paw was a black thing. It was about two and one half inches long and two inches wide, and at each of the four cor ners was a long, black stringlike thing which was hollow. The whole thing was leathery. shiny and unlike anything Reddy had ever seen. He had taken 1t for granted that it was a part of the seaweed,
 Do you mean this thing?" he in- quired, lifting his foot.
 Graywing nodded. "Ees," said he, that's the eggshell of a Skate"
 What are these long string things on the corners for?" inquired Reddy, who couldn't for the life of him see anything egg-like about that thing.
 "Oh." replied Graywing. "those eggs are laid in the water and those string-like thing wind around the seaweed and cling to 1t. If that sea- weed hadn't been washed up by the water, that eggshell wouldn't have come up on shore. It came along with the seaweed. I've heard that some folks call these eggshells 'mer- maids purses"
 Huh" said Reddy. If you ask me, I'll say that a Skate is a queer fish; and a Skates egg is just as queer. Anyway, I'm glad to know what these things are. find I'm learning a lot from you, Graywing, and I'm much obliged to you"
 Pray don't mention it." replied Graywing. T find I am learning some things myself"
 "What?" inquired Reddy curious ly.
 How little some folks know" an- swered Graywing, and off he flew. (Copyright, 1926, by T. W. Burgess)

Lillian Twits Madge About Veritzen's
 Consideration


 Behind Lillians nonsense, knew that there was a very real anxiety as to the result of my report to Philip Veritzen. I saw the same concern in Katherine's winsome face when she came into the room following my summons to Katie to serve us with the team which Lillian's fore- sight had enabled her to have ready. My heart was warmed, as it has been many times in my life, by the loyal friendship which these two women have brought into my life.
 Now Missus sphinx" Lillian com manded when we were comfortably ensconced at the tea table, and our first cups had been drained. T warn you that our patience is at an end. You will tell us what happen ed at once, or I shall have Katie begin to prepare the vat of boiling oil"
 "Pll have her bring some more boiling water instead" l rejoined, and when my little maid had served US and gone back again to the kitch- epette, I obediently related the de- tails of my interview with Philip yeritzen, emitting only the foreign style of farewell with which he had sent me away. With a self-con- sciousness at which was impotently angry, I wriggled as I saw Katherine and Lillian glance ever so slightly at each other when I mentioned the vacation which Philip Veritzen had bidden me take, and l waited with | nervous irritation utterly foreign to me for the barrage of teasing which I knew Lillian and Katherine would lay down as soon as l had finished.
 "H-mw Lillian commented, osten- tatiously titlting her nose toward the ceiling. Isn't it touching, the soli- citude for our beloved sisters health which is being evidenced in the dramatic world? Tell me, Katie, did you ever have hospital chief urge you to take week off at the ex- pense of the institution?"
 "If I have, the incident has slip ped my mind" Katherine said de- murely. but her eyes were filled with laughter, and I knew that she was enjoying with schoolgirlish gusto the process which Lillian generally de- scribes as "annexing the Angora."

The New Street Hats Are Distin- guished by Colorful, Con-
 trasting Trimmings

There is no startling change jp the shapes of the new street hats, the majority of models being small and close-fitting, with high, creased crowns and amazing lack of brim. Trimmings, on the contrary, are de- lightfully varied. In place of se- were grosgrain bows, the newest tail ored models feature inserts of col ored leather, bright embroidery or plaques of gay striped ribbon.
 An instance of the. use of novel, contrasting effects on a strictly tail ored style of hat are the two shapes sketched today. Both are black and each is ornamented with a smart and very striking trimming.
 In the upper sketch is a small black suede model with a round crown and very narrow brin. Di- rectly in front on the crown are three diamond shaped motifs Of snakeskin in beige and brown color ing. A narrow band of this same trimming also encircles the crown,
 Below is a practical shape Of black velours trimmed with fiat ribbon ornamentin alternating black and beige stripes.
