CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
By H. IRVING KING
in FRONT, OUT BACK

THAT going in house at the front
i door and out by the back door
brings strangers is superstition prac-
tically universal In this country and
Europe. Doors were most serious mat
tiers to the ancients and decided tinge
of superstition hung about them.
Among the Romans, Janus, most es-
teemed deity, was the god of doors. He
was double-faced and, looking both
ways, could watch the front and rear
entrances. The door of his temple was
opened only when there was war. At
such times it was necessary to release
his full influence to guard the en-
trances-the doorways-of the coun-
try.
But our superstition that going in
the front door and out at the back
brings strangers is evidently a sur
vival not from any mythology, but
arises from an actual experience OF
our barbarian ancestors, an expert
ence not infrequent even In our own
day. A barbarian fleeing from the
avengers of blood or of other derelic
ton Of his tribe, and taking shelter

or at least you have heard, how she
looks as though she were praying to

really a very naughty creature. She's

"And they showed pictures of the

fly sees the same thing so many times
over-at the same time, too.
'That may sound curious, but you

And all the grasshoppers Joined In

they would do tricks on twigs-pull-

the funny things they could say and
do so they could take the parts OF
clowns.
Still others decided they would ride
each other and have races and superb

they would have famous grasshoppel
hopping races.
They all practiced and practice(
and Mr.. Grasshopper was chosen al
the ring master.
They invited the mothers and ia
theirs in the grasshopper families t
come, and they invited the very youn;
grasshoppers, too.
And when they all arrived and thel
saw the circus-well, there was sue

They, too, hoped about with ez

And Mr.. Grasshopper and Georg

PRETTY POLL
**x**xxxx****x****x*x***a

TT WILL be recalled that it was nec-
L essary for the Wright brothers to
90 abroad in order to secure proper
recognition for their first aeronautic
inventions. The French government
welcomed them and gave them proper
opportunity to demonstrate that they
had progressed far beyond any others
in developing a heavier-than-air flying
| machine; but as group, the French
aeronauts were disposed to show jeal-
ousy for the two Yankees.
The point was that these French
men, for years past, virtually had
been holding the supremacy over the
rest of Europe in the matter of aero
nautic experiments. Their dirigibles,
1t Is true, had not proved complete
successes; still, French ingenuity had
progressed farther In this field than
| the Germans or the Britishers had
gone. 1t was only to be expected,
therefore, that the two modest stran-
gers from the States should encounter
envy and meet with obstacles from
their Gallo rivals.
Nevertheless, following the success
full proof by them of their ability ac-
tually to fly and, what was more inn
portant, to guide their machine along
given course, banquet at. Paris
was arranged in their honor. Amer
leans had a good deal to do with
bringing the dinner about, but all the
French aeronauts or would-be aero
nauts were invited and a consider
able number of them attended.

. speechmaking. The chief orator was

bring slowly to a boil. Add salt and
pepper, two tablespoonfuls of vine
gar, a large onion sliced and COOK
all together until the meat falls from
the bones. Skim out the meat and
bone and reduce the liquor by boil
ing; when half the quantity, strain
through cheesecloth. Pick the meat
from the bones In small bits. To the
meat liquor add pinch of powdered
mace, cloves, allspice and cayenne
and one-half teaspoonful each of cell
cry salt and mustard. Boil the liquor
and return the meat to it, mixing
thoroughly. When we'll heated through

Simple Dessert.-Butter slices OF
bread and place in a deep baking dish,
cover with canned blueberries or fresh
hot stewed ones. Cover and let stand
an hour or two and serve unmolded,
or heat and serve hot with sugar and
cream. Any juicy berries may be used
in place of blueberries.
Eggs Scrambled With Han.-Break
three or four eggs into saucepan,
add a little milk, seasoning of salt
and pepper and butter, then add one
half cupful Of chopped cooked ham;
stir until well mixed and serve with
buttered toast and fried potatoes.
Sponge Pound cake.-Beat one-half
cupful Of butter to a cream, add the
grated rind of a lemon and gradually
beat in one-hSlf cupful of sugar and
beaten yolks of four eggs, one cupful
of -four sifted with a tablespoonful of
! cornstarch and teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder; lastly, fold in the stifily
beaten whites of the eggs and bake
in loaf 80 to 40 minutes. For fine

| of baking powder; the texture of this
cake is like sponge cake.

Wimbledon is residential suburb
of London, situated eight miles south

Wimbledon was Wibbadune. 1t was
supposed to have been the scene of
a battle In 56S between CeauIin, king
of Wessex, and Ethelbert, king Of
Kent. At Domesday it formed part
of the manor of Mortlake. During
the following centuries the manor was
transferred to number of persons.

Young shoots of uniform age are
