THE FAMILY PICNIC

The old-fashioned family picnic only prayers for good weather but also a half days labor in the kitchen.
 Its beginning, its climax and its ending is in the magnificent spread which emerges from the heavy basket.
 Mother spent hours preparing |those scores of sandwiches with deviled egg and what-not filling. The baking of that thickly-frosted cake and all those cookies made the kitchen hot all enc summer morn- ing. There are pickles and jellies, knives and forks. and spoons and napkins. After the feast there is peace. The rest of the day is mostly given over to mild worries about ants and the little green caterpiilars and to the passive pleasures of gus- tatory content.
 The family picnic would be no less splendid and much more anus ing if mother did not do all the work and if there were sports oth- VI than eating.
 If the children are old enough. start out, not with an automobile but with a vigorous walk, to the picnic spot Let everybody carry his proper share of the necessary im- pedimenta. See that everybody has his bathing suit, for at every picnic there should be somewhere to bathe.
 Let the children help build the camp fire. Each must bake his own potato and cook his own meat. They soon will find out that nothing fin the world ever tasted as good as steak or bacon speared and roasted on sharpened green sticks in the open fire.
 And for the period after eating see to it that you have brought along a ball or two, a camera. some nature guide books and a box in which to bring home such trophies as the countryside will yield.

After his great victory over Rob- CT the Rat. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel was hero among hrs neighbors at the Old Orchard and the Green Forest. Sucn news ,rav- els fast. Sammy Jay is always one 1t was known all over the Green Meadows, all through the Green Forest and, of course. in the Old Orchard. how Happy Jack had actually made Robber the Rat run for his life. So Happy Jack became | hero.
 Now being a hero is very fine. ie it does not go to your head. The trouble is. too much praise is very likely to go to ones head. It was SO with Happy Jack. Every one told him how splendid he was ana what wonderful fighter he was: so perhaps it was no wonder that presently he began to strut and boast.
 'Pooh!' said he. That fellow couldn't fight. l could whip two such as he.'
 Tt looked to me as if you had about all you wanted to take care of" spoke up Scrapper the King bird.
 Tt was easy" declared Happy Jack. '1 don't know when I have done anything easier. I don't know where Robber got his bad reputa- tion"
 This is the way that Happy Jack went about boasting and all puffed Up with pride To hear him you would have thought that no one had ever fought and won a battl" before. It wasn't long before word Of all this reached his small cousia. Chatterer the Red Squirrel. owe, in the Green Forest. Chatterer has never liked Happy Jack and Happy Jack has never liked Chatteret There has always been a great deal Of quarreling between the TWO.

Gretas Shadowy Lashes Given Expert Care

There's a legend in Hollywood concerning the eyelashes of Greta Garbo. When she first came to this country from Sweden to make pic lures, 1t is said she was asked to clip the ends of her lashes to re- move the shadows they cast on her face before the camera.
 Be that as it may, those long, thick, curling lashes are respon- sible for much of the mysterious allure which is hers.
 Any girl may have long thick lashes if she will give them the proper care" advises Miss Garbo and. incidentally. they require as great care as the hair, hands or complexion.
 Making the Lashes Grow
 'The two, factors I've found im- portant in encouraging their growth are nourishment and stim- ulation. Yellow oxide of mer- cury is best for nourishment. Rub ]! it into the lashes each n,gnt pe- fore retiring. It also may oe used to remove powder from the lashes after making-up by those who find mascara too obvious.
 "Vaselinc may be used instead of this preparation.
 "For stimulation. form a habit of pulling the lashes gently with the thumb and first finger. pull ing out the loose hairs. Don't pull too strongly, for it will break down the tissues of the eyelids. Further. brush the lashes each night with soft eyelash brush. , always brushing upward for the upper ones and downward for those beneath, encouraging u graceful sweep of the lashes."
 WHITE HATS
 Never let white hat get very | dirty before cleaning. French chalk is good for the first few cleansings. then put the hat over the double boiler or a hat bloc. | if you have one and sponge it off | with cleansing fluid. Always rinse a white hat in more fluid If yoA want it clear.

Everyday Law Cases
Does Mortgage on Automobile

Insurance Policy?
BIZ THE COUNSELLOR.

william Baker phoned his insurance
agent and applied for fire insurance
policy on his automobile. The next day
Baker received the policy and ne put
1t away without reading it.
A clause in the policy provided that
the company shall not be liable for any
loss to the automobile while encum-
bered by a chattel mortgage.
Bakers automobile was mortgaged
and this fact was discovered by the
company when Baker filed claim for
the loss of his car by fire.
The company refused to pay and
Baker brought suit.
In awarding the verdict to Baker,
the court stated:
1.-THE cases are in conflict regarding
this question, but the equitable rule
seems to be in favor of the insured.
There was no negotiation between the
parties. The contract was established
beforehand by the insurance company,
and the terms unknown to the insured.
II there are any clauses in the policy
which are liable to trick an unsuspect-
ing applicant, they should be specifical-
ly called to his attention"
