Another way Of making thinner cream
whip satisfactorily is this: Have q bowl
with the cream in 1t and a whipper-
also soup plate or small platter. Whip
the cream and as the froth appears on
the top take it on with q spoon-a large
fiat spoon is good for this purpose. Put
this on the platter or soup plate and go
on whipping and taking on the froth
until no more appears. The cream that
Is left may be used for coffee or cooking.
Use this accumulation of frothy
whipped cream precisely as you would
use the more solidly whipped cream OF
the heavier SORT Many persons prefer
1t because of its lightness.
If the heavy cream you have to use
Is so thick that there is danger Of hav-
ing it go to butter in the whipping
process you may whip it lightly, taking
on the froth in the same way.
Some housewives plan to have a half
pint of cream-or a pint for a large

are so many different sorts Of whipped

monotony.

The fall from the nest had been bad
enough, but now creature such as ne

up. He remembered what Mother Crow
had said when she had warned the
young Crows TO be careful, and he was
certain that this creature was going 70

make sure that he had not been in

he would take it home.

So 1t was that the young Crow got
both a name and new home. He was
rather noisy on the way home, and
Blacky the Grow heard him. You know,
Blacky was his father. Blacky gave the
alarm, and soon not only Blacky, his
father, but his mother and all of his
relatives who were within hearing were
making great fuss over there in the
Green Forest, screaming at Farmer
Browns Boy and calling him all man
ner of names. Farmer Browns Boy
didn't mind at ALL He kept right on,
and all the Grows followed for short
distance. Presently Jim Grow stopped
his noise. He was rather out of breath.
Besides, he was very curious. He was
seeing things that he had never seen
before. He was so full of curiosity that
he forget to cry. Now, when he stopped
crying, the other Crows began to lose
interest. Most of them had families,
anyway, and they we're anxious to get
back to them. Blacky and Mother Crow
followed as far as the edge of the Green
Forest. There they stopped, for Mother
Grow was anxious about the rest Of the
children and in hurry to get back to
see If anything had happened to them.

taken. How his black eyes did twinkle

cream is, indeed. very, very good,

used, is even better. But cream is also
high In price-very high priced in most
large cities-and so, instead of thinking
of it as something to be used every

of us have come to regard 1t as some

Grow out on the back doorstep to feed
him. He actually had to feed him, for,
you see, Jim Grow hadn't yet learned to
pick up food for himself. Not having
left the nest, he had always been fed
by Mother Crow and Father Blacky
Grow. So now Farmer Browns Boy had
to put food in Jim Crows mouth. 1t
