Mrs. Peter Smith and little son
Vern returned this week from a visit
ing trip among relatives in Oregon.
Some of the little ones have had
their Christmas joys and anticipations
shattered by being told at school by
the older ones that there is no Santa
Claus. Won't the parents please tell
their children that there is Santa
Claus--tell them about the spirit of
Christmas that brings love and tender

selfish, and explain how this Christ

For a second after she noticed that her car was gone Corrinne stood quietly, wondering what she could do. Then suddenly she stepped back of tree. She had noticed a figure, with muffled face, standing near, evidently watching. It was luck which had brought her to the spot at a minute when the mans back | was turned.
 "So Harry's men have taken the | car away!" The thought rang | through her mind. And they knew would come back. We'll they won't know that I did. They would politely escort me to the garage to | get the thing, and explain that they were sorry I was inconvenienced but they were really safeguarding my | property. Oh. no, Harry Becker, you may keep it till the tires rot, I'm never coming back"
 Watching her chance, Corrinne slipped from tree to tree until she was back on the highway. She kept to the dark side of the road, hiding | whenever a car came along. It was cold, and she grew tired as she walked. But she couldn't get troll ley at the edge of the town. Sud- denly she remembered that she had no change in her pocketbook. Just | a checkbook. Just a checkbook. She | would have to walk the entire dis tance to Sarah's.
 Because she was so tired and dis appointed she leaned against a tree and two tears rolled down her cheeks. She dashed them away.
 "Corrinne Merryman, don't be an idiot! Just because you're having some bad luck now doesn't mean that it's always going to last" Her lips quirked into a semblance of smile. Its always darkest before the dawn, and it couldn't be much | darker now" Her eyes looked through the black night.
 She raised her head, conscious that car was coming, and stepped behind the tree. The automobile came slowly and its huge spotlight flashed from side to side of the road
 Harry! He's hunting mel" She flattened herself against the tree.
 The car passed on, very slowly and Corrinne turned and cut across a field to the other road where there were more houses and not such wide stretches of lawn when there was a house. An hour later she dropped in- | to a pair in front of Sarah's fire place.
 'I'm so tired I can't talk" she said. But I've got a wig, and now l can get a job. won't have to dye my hair as you did yours that time you went to work as a waitress be- fore your uncle left you your mon- ey." Corrinne slipped the golden wig over her short dark hair. and fast

With tkis toy came sets of ovals. squares, triangles, circles and dia- monds. Each small piece had :; hole in the center. Peters task was to Iut the right shaped piece onto the right peg. It did not take him long to learn to sort the shapes. He seemed to enjoy that board over period of many weeks.
 He had received a tin train and 2 wooden one. The wooden one was his favorite. Later he was to enjoy the metal, ore, but it proved a bit difficult fer his two and a half years to cope with.
 He discarded a doll for calico dog. He liked to carry his hand- kerchief with the printed picture. And to watch him splash water color paints on his large sheet of paper fastened to the easel made his parents think they might have n genius for a son.

 That "Nursery Supper!
 What's the use of trying to get two evening meals, anyway, when you've got all you can do to get one? Supper at five for the chil- dren! None of your neighbors do it., and when you speak of a "nursey supper" at five and putting the children to bed at seven they think you're slowing off,"
 I wonder how many mothers are in this unfortunate fix and how many families are rebels to such a sensible innovation? A good many, I'm believing.
 But ths idea of lighter, earlier food for little children is far past the experimental stage. It has come 10 stay. The custom is spreading because it is right and any mother who has succeeded in establishing 1t in her house need not feel that she is an oddity but instead that she is doing the sensi- ble, right thing.
 One word to undecided mothers. To institute the idea of separate feeding most successfully, they should work it up gradually from the time tnelF cnlloTen are Ddpies, although it is never too late to begin. Besides it isn't quite the task it ray seem to set a special little supper on a small table some where at five o'clock. know many mothers who work it out quite well with a little planning. Dad being away at room is big help for that is the time the little people should have their regular" din- ner. The evening meal should be very simple and light.
 Then when they are away from the big table later it won't break their hearts to be denied grown-up food,

NEA Service Writer

| 6CIblSC The untried cook who realizes that a recipe is nothing more nor less than a formula" and attacks her cooking problem with the same attitude of mind that she used for palatable and that there will be no glaring failures - providing. of course, that she uses reliable recipes and standard measures.
 All ingredients must be measured accurately, using a standard measur- ing cup and spoon. If possible, have two measuring cups, one for dry in- gredients and one for liquids. Fail- | ing this, keep in mind the advisab1l- | ity of measuring dry ingredients first and liquids second.
 Any ingredients that need special attention before combining. as in the case of sitting flour for cake. should l be prepared before attempting the mixing of the assembled materials. All measurements are level. To measure a cupful of any given dry material, fill the cup. using a bis spoon or a scoop and rounding the ingredient above the top Of the cup. Tap lightly to be sure any air holes are filled, and With the dull edge of knife scrape off the surplus. making the contents even with the ton of t''e cup or 'level full.''
 Sift Flour and Sugar Flour, confecticners', powdered and granulated sugars are usually sifted tnce before measuring Brown sugar is rolled before meas uring.
 Before attempting to make any dish, read the recipe through at least twice. This familiar1zes one with the ingredients and method.
 Be sure all ingredients are in the house. utensils so that there will be no delay at any time during the mix ing. Minutes spent in frantic search for materials to cook or ar- ticles to cook with may spoil the coction.
 Consider the time required for mixing, cooking or chilling in re- lation with the rest of the meal.
 Follow directions as exictly as possible. This applies to the method of procedure as well as to the accur- acy in measuring and using the specific ingredients called for in the recipe. If this has not been done it's not fair to blame the recipe TOT a failure.
 After. a recipe has been tried m it's original form, it can be "re- yamped" to suit personal tastes It's an excellent idea to write any comments about a recipe on the margin ot the page. This should be done at once while the whole thing
 is fresh in ones mind. for by the time the mea, is served and the
 dishes washed, the definite and helpful comment may be forgotten

 But she noticed that Sues eyes were on her slippers. and glanced down, too. They were caked with mud, and one stocking had wide runner.
 Corrinne's eyes danced impishly T look as though l had to walk home. Rather unnatural to have your husband pull that trick on you, isn't it? But you never can tell"

Now tha. Christmas was . think of the past it was interesting to look over the Christmas toys which Peter Page Junior had received and see which ones had stood the test of month or two.
 The mechanical toys were broken. One of them had been most attrac- tive while it was new, but soon a wheel came off and left a sharp edge of metal which cut Peters fingers. That was the end of that toy.
 He had received some small but sturdy blocks cut in the shapes of letters and figures. These were un- painted, made of light wood. From these he had learned his letters, some of tkem, and a few figures.
 A nest of blocks were thing or the past for the flimsy construction had not stood the onsets of sturdy boy.
 A concentration toy which con sisted of a board with five pegs tn- serted into board on which were painted i've shapes, diamond trian- gle, circle, square and oval, had af- forded him much enjoyment.

Perhaps the doctor has geven you general diet list for the youngest children, including quart of milk a day apiece, eggs, cereals, vegetables, fruits, certain meats, fish or fowl; and of course, bread and butter. Perhaps also the children do not care for this simple list, but great ly prefer the more sophisticated meals of their elders. They want rich gravies, pie, cake, pancakes. and even the condiments their father abuses on hi meats.
 There is daily battle, much un- happiness, and sort of compro- mise in the end that results in your equalization.
 Secretly you worry, knowing that the children should not have these rich heavy meals-but what are going to do? You cannot spend your life fighting the family, for of course Dad is on the other side. He can't see why the youngsters can't eat the same kind of stuff he used to when he was a kid. He ate everything on the calendar and it never hurt him.
