Danny Meadow Mouse. THAT fellow is

Of the rest of us, he has plenty of enc

suds all the time, because the sun

Chilled Melon Balls.

You will need one large cantaloupe,
one l1oneydew melon and three pounds
Of watermelon. Store In q cold place
until time to combine. Plan to pre-
pare the cocktail in the morning hours,
since the cutting is little tedious.
With cutter especially designed for
making small round balls, cut enough
to fill one quart Jar. reserving the left
over melon pieces for a salad or des-
sert the following day. A little prac-
tice beforehand on potatoes will aid in
the matter of cutting the balls properly.
Dissolve half a cupful of sugar In half
a cupfull of orange juice and pour over
the melon. White grape juice, used in
place OF the orange. gives an unusual
favor. Place cover on the jar and
toss gently until all of the balls are
marinated with the juice. Store in a
cold place, and at serving time arrange
in sherbet glasses and serve as an APP
petizer. If you think the work Of max
ing the balls is too difficult, the. melons
maybe cut into small cubes.

Danny had cut small stalk of grass
near the top of which was little mass
of bubbly foam. He had asked Peter to
look at it. Peter had looked at it and
seen nothing but the suds, for the
foamy mass looked for all the world
like soapsuds. Then Danny had put out
a little paw and wiped away the suds
AS If by magic, an insect had appeared
Danny denied that he had put the in
