BEDTIME STORIES By :. r ssseas,

Paddy took It in his teeth and started
to pull 1t out, but he let go and cried
"Ouch!" again. That thing hadn't
pulled out as easily as he thought il
would. Mrs. Paddy moved over for q
better look. 'Humph!" she exclaimed
You are making closer acquaintance
with Prickly Porky than you thought
for"
what do you mean?" asked Paddy
Just what said" replied Mrs.
Paddy. Don't you know what that
thing Is sticking in your paw? It is
one of Prickly Porky's little spears. He
must have shaken 1t out of his coat
when he was on the roof here"
Paddy looked more closely and saw
that Mrs. Paddy was right. It was one
of Prickly Porky's quilts and it was
most uncomfortable. In fact, the thing
made his paw ache. Once more Paddy
seized It in his teeth and gave sharp
hard, quick pull. Then he cried
OUGHT" again. However, that quill
the quill was out and he knew that
that was good thing.
Then he and Mrs. Paddy began q
careful search all over that roof. They
found three or four other quilts and
carefully removed them. You see, they
didn't want to step on another.
II think" said Paddy GROSSLY, ''that
the least Prickly Perky can do is to
keep his little spears. We let him use
our roof to rest on and this Is the way
| he repays us"
This, OF course, wasn't quite fair, for
Prickly Perky hadn't Intentionally left
his little spears behind.

When the days are visibly longer than
they were and the sunsets change from
the apple green of Winter to the pale
washed gold of earliest Spring, sound
steals forth, TRANQUILITY as the angelus
over European countryside; sound
that every one knows and few people
notice. They call it the song of the
frog, but not yet are the bullfrogs
piping in the marshes where the blue
flags will blow This sound descends
from the wooded hills: it drifts out over
the listening, the chilly, the young airs
Of March twilights. 1t Is the tree toadS
note, sound more thrilling far than
the bullfrog'S note.
The frog emits a gutteral croak, at
times he even booms, and pond full
of frogs can almost be said to roar. 1t
is snowy, bumptious note;, but the
tree toad's note is high and airy trtll,
modest, enchanting and varied. like the
song of bird, like warbler's song.
have 1t on good. scientific authority
that the tree toad is singing to her
young, just Matched. Otherwise would
not believe it. Only tree toad and hui
man mothers sing to their young, so
far as know in the whole Of nature.
And only one poet, Arthur Guiterman,
has penned verse in praise of this
little green weaver of lullabies, in the
poem that begins so facetiously-
when the three-toed
Tree toad
Sings his sweet ode
To the moon"
To me it is one with all things that
are young and tender-the greening-up
of elm tops and the twigs Of spice bush,
the smell of earth, fresh turned from
the spade, and the cool, shy twilights OF
March and April.

Household Methods
BIZ BETSY cALLHsTER.

Usually the place that first shows the
wear in tabIecloth is down the center
fold. then at the two other lengthwise
folds. Often It is possible to prolong
the usefulness of a tablecloth If these
worn spots are darned with rawlings
from the good part of another WORKOUT
tablecloth. But after four or five more
trips to the laundry the old cloth begins
to show a sprinkling of worn spots all
over. and there is little use of darning
these, for they are the signal that the
damask is worn out.
The thrifty housewife does not throw
the entire tablecloth into the discard.
She looks it over carefully. Sometimes
She finds sections that are good enough
to be cut on into the size Of small nap
kinS. These she has hemmed by ma
chine. They may be used then as COM
mon table napkins. Usually one would
prefer these madeover damask napkins
to cotton napkins. In some households
these madeover napkins are sent to the
servants dining ROOM. and by using
them it is never necessary to buy new
napkins for the servants.
There are sections of the old table
cloth that will not be worth working
over in this way. These pieces may be
cut in neat squares and piled away in a
box for use on picnics. They will usu-
ally be preferred by picnickers to paper
napkins, but may be discarded after
once using.
The old tablescloth should never be
torn, but should be cut with sharp scis-
SorS Being old, the threads will pull
readily, and it will be impossible to
have an even edge if the material is
torn.
Sometimes an old tablecloth may be
folded double and then stitched back
and forth, making a fairly firm piece
OF double-ply damask that may prove
excellent as the lining Of clothes
basket, or cloth to throw over freshly
baked bread or rolls to keep OF the
dust until ready to be put in the bread
box. A piece of damask Of this sort
may be useful In packing the picnic
hamper or automobile lunch box.

Half the sovereigns Of Europe were
competitors for the services Of Careme,
chief rival of Beauvilliers in the Paris
Of poSt-revolutionary days.
Careme had the blood of cooks in his
veins, for he was ineal descendant Of
that chef Of Pope Leo x who received
the name Jean de Careme (Jack Of
Lent for a soup-naigre which he in
vented for Leo. He studied under the
leading roaSterS, sauce-makers, makers
of desserts and masters Of service of his
day. Having learned all there was TO
know of the cookery of the past, he
proceeded to inventions of his own.
His fame spread rapidly, and he was
solicited by kings and the nobility TO
cook for them. He was chef In turn
for George w of England, Emperor
Alexander Of Russia, Talleyrand, the
great French minister; Lord London
derry, the Princess Bagratio and, finally,
Baron RothSchild.
His service for George " was pro-
cured early In his career. George then
was regent. Solicitations that were
well-nigh Supplications were made to
Careme and he was promised salary

Child's Appetite.

One of the most important things
that the mother can do for her child
for the first three or four years of his
life, says an important child specialist,
is to teach him good habits in eating.
In fact, many times digestive disturb
ances or malnutrition, with consequent
delicacy Of constitution lasting life
time, are the result of bad habits in
eating.
Sometimes a mother feels powerleSs
to work against little bad habits in
eating that seem to be coming upon a
child. Gradually child gives up eat
ing vegetables. The mother concludes
that the child doesn't like them and
perhaps holsters herself up with the
statement that vegetables actually
poison her child. His dislike for them,
she says, is based on personal peculiari-
ties. Sometimes she makes elaborate
excuses for letting her child eat lots Of
sugar
Little Bobby would eat so little else.
All he craved was something sweet, and
we couldn't see him starve, so we had
to give him more sugar than seemed
good for him. If he had not had sugar,
he couldn't have got enough nourish-
ment to i've" said one mother.

Paddy Is Pricked.
In passing judgment have care
TO be in every way quite fair.
-Prickly PorkY.

Paddy and Beaver had given a little
sigh Of relief that Prickly Perky had
started on his way again. Paddy had
somehow felt uneasy with Prickly Perky
on the roof of his house. He didn't
know why he had felt uneasy; he just
had. Perhaps it was because he couldn't
get away from the feeling that Prickly
Porky with his thousand little spears
would be most uncomfortable neigh
Dor to have about; and therefore he
didn't even want Pric&ly Perky on the
roof Of his house.
As soon as Prickly POrky was well on
his way toward the, shore, Paddy and
Mrs. Paddy swan to their house and
climbRd up on the roof, It was partly
in ord2r to watch PriciIy Perky and It
was partly in order to see that he had
done no damage while resting on the
roof.
Just look at that fellow!" said
Paddy. HE certainly isn't much of a
swimmer; could swim circles around
him. But he keeps right up at it and
he gets there after while. He is one
of our neighbors in the Green Forest
with whom never feel acquainted"
"I don't believe anybody else does
either" replied Mrs. Paddy. Certainly,
he doesn't seem to have any friends"
Perhaps that is because he doesn't
want any" said Paddy. .He certainly
hasn't a friendly disposition. I really
cannot imagine any one being friendly
with him"
Mrs. Paddy chuckled. "I shouldn't
want to have what you would call q
close friendship with him." she said.
Paddy grtnned. "He has been about
as close as I should care to have him, "
said he. "Ouch!''
Mrs. Paddy looked up quickly. what
Is the matter with you?" she demanded.
"I pricked one paw on something
sharp" replied Paddy, and held up his
right paw. There was something hang
ing on 1t.
what is it?" asked Mrs. Paddy.

He made no more excursions to for

in Paris.
The sort Of cook that Careme was is
indicated by Lady Sydney Morgan, the
Irish novelist, who ate a dinner pre-
pared by him while visiting at Baron
Rothschild's villa. She says:

aroma-every vegetable its own shade

Vegetables.
One mother says:

One mother says:

Jimmy to eat his vegetables, for he In
sisted that he did not like them, but
nevertheless would put them before
him and say, "Now, Jimmy, clean your
plate up" He did it grudgingly, COM
planning all the time, and I decided that
food taken in that frame Of mind was
not very nourishing, so changed my
tactics with him. / would give him the
vegetables just as formerly, but instead
of telling him to eat them all up
would say, Now let's count the bites
you eat three bites Of your carrots and
three bites Of your spinach and then
you may have your dessert. He soon
discovered that the dreaded food was
not so bad after all and would often
take three bites more, as he seemed to
think they should be eaten in three-bite
doses. The result was that he ate his
vegetables with growing fondness for
them and ate them happily.
