Story for the Children at Bedtime

"What in the world is the trouble?"
asked squirrel with a bushy TAIL
who happened to be near a place in
the woods where he saw a little girl
was crying.

tie girl, land I've lost my-oh, oh, Oh
I've lost my" then she sobbed and
sobbed and couldn't say another word.
Pretty soon one of them said:
lets ask our old friend. Mr.. Giant,
to suggest some way Of stopping Ma
halia from crying"
"oh," said Mahalia between her
sobs, she may eat me up and stop my
crying that way. But I've lost" and
then she burst out crying again.
Dear me, no." said the squirrel,
who had suggested the giant. HE is
the kindest giant you can imagine"
All the other squirrels who had
come around, too, to see what was
the trouble, said:
@Bushy Squirrel is perfectly right.
What he says is so. The Giant is
very kind"
"Yes," continued the first squirrel
who had spoken TO her, or Bushy

best friend. He lives in a cave Just

he wishes for them so we can have

THAT is how kind he is. He's al

Mahalia had stopped crying and had
decided the giant must be indeed very
wonderful if the squirrels were so
fond of him.
And so she let them go off for him.

"Six wild Strawberries" squealed
the squirrels. "You needn't have cried
over those-we can get you more than
six"

Perhaps you have always thought OF
chop suey as a dish that is too UNI
usual and foreign to prepare at home.
As matter of fact, chop suey is I'M
known in China; It originated in
Chinatown In San Francisco, in an
attempt to give visitors something out
of the ordinary. 1t is made with such
Chinese ingredients as water nuts,
bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, soy
sauce and often dried mushrooms, as
well as chicken or pork, but very
good dish closely resembling the orig
inal chop suey in flavor may be made
with vegetables that are common in
most American localities. Soy sauce
is sold In great many groceries, and
the chop suey will be almost perfect in
flavor If you can get it. If not, wor-
cestershire sauce will do. Soy sauce
contains a good deal of salt, so the
amount of salt needed in your chop
suey will depend on which kind Of
sauce you have.
Why not invite your friends or FAM
fly to try a Chinese supper some eve
ming? If you have any Chinese aces
series or decorations, SO much the bet
ter. At least, you can make chicken
chop suey and rice the main attrac-
ton, with preserved ginger for des-
sert. The Chinese do not use bread
and butter, because they have the
rice, but you may serve it if your FAM
fly prefers. The vegetables on which
we depend for vitamins are incor-
porated in the chop suey-onions and
celery. The recipe below is from the
bureau of home economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.

Graduates Choose Sheer FrocRs

suggested by bertha or capelet.
Later this charming dress will go
dancing in the moonlight or, topped
with a wide-brimmed summary hat, it
will appear at garden parties.
1t is rather difficult for the girl Sc
lecting material for her graduating
frock to choose between embroidered
and plain organdie which is lace
trimmed, the latter to be worn over a
taffeta slip. Clever things are being
done with lace and organdie. one of
which is posing the crisp transparent
weave over lace foundation slip.
The graduating frock being white
would be mounted over white lace, but
for the party dress the organdie is
apt to be any lovely tint and the lace
underneath should be perfect match.
The attractive organdie gown pic
tured has simplicity about it which
tunes in charmingly to the graduating
scene. This dainty dress features
bands of lace artfully inset so as to
form front panel in the skirt, the
double cape repeating this trimming.

the missing basket with the straw

Then the Giant and all the squirrels
set to work and gathered many wild
strawberries so that Mahalia's basket
was filled when she left them.
She loved wild strawberries almost
better than any fruit and she was
very happy about having such lot
Of them.
The giant was happy because he
