The Combination of Velvet and Metal Cloth IS the OutStand- ing Feature of the New
 Evening Wraps.

Velvet in all it's forms is an inn rortant note in both the afternoon and evening mode. Alone or in combination with other materials, it is used for the majority of the new evening gowns. The smartest wraps are also of this soft-surfaccd fabric, combined with sparkling metal lame.
 Sapphire blue velvet, glcaming silver lame, and delicate jeweled embroidery combine in q wrap of unusual loyolincss. Added 10 these engaging features is a huge collar Of fluffy white fox and a lining Of white satin bordcrod by q wide band Of tho metal cloth.
 The silhouette of this distin- guisho1 wrap is equally arrcsting on account of the new widcncd line above the waist, caused by deep armholrs and softly loose sleeves. The sleeve portions arc Of the lame laNishlY embroidered in silver stitching and beads. The lower sec ton. of velvet, is cut on narrow lines to insure both slendcrncss and height.
 A gown of sapphire velvet or silver lame should be worn with this wrap 10 create an ensemble effect.

 Infants and children not infre- qucntIy swallow sand. coal, cloth hair or paint. because of the ten- dency 70 p0t everything into the mouth. and babies especially will chew paint from toys, cribs or wood work.
 A small dose Of the substance is not sufficient to produce serious symptoms immediately, but the con- tinued taking Of small amounts will eventually produce some severe dis order,
 The importance of the matter may he rocognizoi from the fact that IT children with lead poisoning were discovered in the children in an in fant's hospital Of Boston from Sep Itcmber 1923 to May, 1923. In three Of the most serious cases children under two years developed severe symptoms from crewing the paint on woodwork and cribs. If the symptoms are discovered sufficiently carly. treatment is not
 especially difficult, but the longer the taking Of the lead persists the more permanent may be the changes developing in the body. Help Through Diet.
 The lead is removed from the body by giving q diet very low in calcium. Such a diet must omit milk, eggs. green vegetables and many fruits which are ordinarily 1 tho most satisfactory substances for 1 children. It may contain, however, meat, liver, potatoes, rice tomatoes, corn, bananas and miIk-frcc bread.
 Children should be watctd care

 possible.
 Anemla, loSs or appetite, Consiipa-

 may often be the first symptoms of
 the onset Of the type of poisoning
 that has been mentioned. A physi- elan should be promptly consulted
 in the presence Of these symptoms
 since time is an important factor
 in preventing disorders.

Why Katie's Chatter Is Bit

For a half minute, which seemed an eternity I battled with the desire to listen to katie's proffered con- fdences concerning my father. l told myself that it was really my duty 10 ind out If anything were troubling him, perhaps menacing his ncw-found ease. Then I brought myself up with a round turn. l should put myself upon a par with " guilelesslv eavesdropping maid, if I listened 10 anything concerning my father which he himself had not seen fit to tel me. Yet. it was with distinct reluctance that l answered her negatively.
 "No. Katie" I said with decision, you must not tell me anything which you have learned by listening or watching. Whatever my father wishes me 10 know about his affairs he will tell mo. unless" ] stopped with a sudden poignant fear. You do not mean that you think he is in?"
 My pulse skipped beat as I wait cd for her answer.
 "No, he not seeck in hees body, " she answered slowly. but I tink h" got something's qveer matter init hees head.

 Stop!

 What do you think We would better plan for his meals while he IS herea He must be missing your cooking"
 She tossed her head with a bra yado which I knew meant secret chagrin.
 "Oh, guess he no miss my cook lnG." she said. He have dot AIissis Ticer 10 feex hcam all kinds Of mcssas. She goot cook, l hear you say so, your own self"
 I chokcd back 8 chuckle at re- mcmbrance Of the old-time culinary rivalry between Katie and our re- doubtabla ncighbor Mrs. Ticer.
 "Of course. she is a good cook, Katie" I said honestly, You know that as well as I do. But you also EQO" mat We ui lllt NTl dIetul ldlIlllE wouldn't exchange the meals you get us for those Of any other cook go ing. so stop your nonsense and plan the very incest dishes you know for my father"

 Her good humor was completely restored and she served the break fast with no hint of tho tantrum to which she had so nearly treated us. But not for a long time afterward was I able to rid myself of the i'm pression of something radically wrong with my father, which her chatter had given me.

 Now, for once, Danny Meadow Mouse was really lucky. When that right side up and 1t hoated. Of course. Danny inside couldn't see just what had happened, but it didn't take him lorg to find out that he was afloat. He heard the splash as the can hit the water. Then he began 10 be gently rocked Every time he moved he rocked a little more. IL made him feel sort Of funny in his stomach. So Danny didn't move. He just kept as still as he could.
 Slowly the old can went spinning around in circles and drifting farther and farther out from shore. 'I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way" thought Danny. "Thcr"'s nothing 10 do but keep still. oh dear, l wish this can wouldn't rock so don't like it."
 By this time the can was out wherc the wind could get it and farther and farther into tho river. There were little waves out there and these waves made the can bob up and down. CT course. Danny bobbed up and down with the old can. He had inc feeling that the bottom had dropped ont of his stomach. I suppose it really was q sort of soasick feeling. Anyway. it made him quite satisfied 10 do noth- ing.

Menus for fife Family
(By Sister Mary)

Breakfast-Orange juice, cereal cooked with figs, thin cream, savory scrambled eggs on toast, crisp graham toast, milk, coffee.
 I.uncheon-Bakor green beans and bacon, peanut butter bread, four fruit marmalade, squash custard pudding, milk. tea.
 Dinner-Hungeran goulash, head lettuce and tomato salad, Dutch apple pie, graham bread, milk, cof- fee.
 This marmalade recipe suggested in the luncheon menu uses up odds and ends of fruit that may have col lcctcd during the weekend. Or If the breakfast melon was not serva- ble it can be used in the marmalade, thus avoiding total loss.
 Four Fruit Marmalade
 One cup cantaloupe cut in half inch dice, 1 1-2 cups diced apple, cup diced peaches, 1 lemon, 1-2 cup diced canned pineapple. 3 cups sugar.
 Put fruit and sugar. layer for layer in preserving kettle. Add grat- ed rind and juice of lemon and let stand covered with a clean cloth fo one hour. Bring quickly to the boiling point taking care the sugar does not burn, and cook rapidly un- til the mixture Is transparent and thick. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
 Dutch Apple Pie
 Dutch apple pie is nothing more nor less than a one-crust apple pie made mummy" with lots of sugar, cinnamon and butter. The apples are pared, cut in halves and cored. Place cut side up in a deep pie dish lined with plain pastry. Sprinkle fruit with sugar and cinnamon and i dot generously with butter. Bake in fa moderate oven. When the apples arc almost done, about ten minutes before removing from the oven, pour | 4 10 1-2 cup of cream over apples. Finish baking, cool and serve. The cream of course can be omit ted but it makes a delicious pie.

 Dr. Phillips, with wonderful un- derstanding, picked me up in his arms and placed me in a sitting position with my back to the head of Johns bed. About me were bank cd pillows until even my injured leg was made paratively comfort able. With superhuman effort John placed his head in my lap. Only his eyes seemed alive. l bent down and kissed his lips.
 Have they told you, Judy? Are you going to make me happy for the little while that I shall live? Are you going to marry me-" Again he had forgotten everyone about us.
 l could not resist the pleading of his eyes. I could not resist the clamor of my own heart, which was beating in the wild manner it al- ways did when l had even come near the man whose beautiful head was now resting against it. I knew that he could feel it fluttering, l knew that he probably could hear its insistent tumult.
 Under these circumstances it seemed almost superfluous to ask, as I did: Do you really want me to, John?" knowing that my treacher- ous heart had already answered him before l had spoken.
 Tt will be for such little while, Judy" he pleaded.

DANNY'S QUEER CRAFT By THORNTON W. BURGESS
The one thing needed in a boat Is certainty that it will float.
 Danny Meadow Mouse

You will remember that Danny Meadow Mouse was holding his breath in an old can on the bank of the river, wondering what wal going to happen next. He was hld- ing from a great gray cat. Danny didn't have to wonder long. That cat put her nose to the opening m inc can and sniffed. and every snlft ran up and down Danny's backbone from his chattering teeth to the end of his funny short tail. Those sniils were dreadful sound. They sounded hungry. They sounded cruel. Danny didn't like the sound Of those snifs at all.
 But it was only her nose that that cat could get In at that opening ana so those sniffs were quite harmless Then she tried to get her paw Tn. Danny could hear her sharp clans scratching on the tin, and they didn't make him feel any more com fortable. He knew just what that cat was trying 10 do. He knew mat that cat hoped 10 get her claws into him and pull him out. But that cat was what is called double paved cat. She had two extra toes on each front paw and. Of course that made her front feet extra big. she couldn't get her paw into the can.
 Presently that cat lost her temper. There is nothing more foolish in all the Great World than to lose ones temper. but almost every one does it. and this cat did it now. She struck that can with her paw. She knocked it this way, and she knocked if that way. Poor Danny was rolled over and over now on his head. now on his back, now right side np and now wrong side up. Finally tho can landed on the cd2n of the bank. Once more the eat struck at it. This time it rolled down tho bank and landed splash in
