She had liked her blue dress with its big pink bow and rustling pink petticoat that went with songs at candIe-1ighting time and other things. She had liked her blue slippers, too.
 She kicked one of Barbara's with the ivory chiffon toe of her left foot. Then because there was noth- ing else to do she put on the glitter ing slippers. She would have fo wear the dress, too.
 She picked it up. Then she looked at her reflection in the mirror The dress was made of lace and Barbara had forgotten to take off the slip which went with 1t.

One time when l was teaching
 school 1 used the daily free time to read the children Alice in Wonder land"
 Some of them liked 1t. Many of
 them did not.
 We used to vote on list I sub
 mitted 10 the class. on what book
 should be read next. Well-you
 know children. Most of them wanted the "Dobsy Twins or the
 "Adventures of Winnie and Lou"
 or something like that. For they
 were allowed, of course, to nomi-
 nate from the floor.
 1 usually managed to make 1t fifty-tfty, reading what l thought
 they should have one week and
 what they wanted to hear, the next.
 But Alice in Wonderland l was going to read and did. Let me see, that class averaged about eight or nine years in age. I think. When 1 announced final ly that "Alice" it was to be. they were satisfied, chiefly because the name was intriguing. But when l got into 1t, things began to hap pen. Puzzled eyes turned to meet puzzled eyes, many of the boys leaned their heads on their hands
 and looked out of the window. It
 was plain that about half of the
 classs were either beyond their depths or bored.
 Reaction Different Yet 1 persisted. Every day 1
 read chapter or two of Carroll 8 delicious comedy-I think 1 have
 read it at least six times myself expect to again. But those fifty
 children reacted to 1t in fifty diff ferent ways. It was extremely in- teresting to watch them. One day not long ago I met one of those bored boys, now grown, educated and working. We were talking over old times. DO you
 know" he said, you sort of start ed me on things. l remember when you read Alice in Wonder
 land.' l didn't like 1t then, but
 as l look back I don't believe there is a book on earth I love so much. it myself and I often get 1t out
 and read a chapter. I think 1t the
 most delightful book ever pub
 lished. Aren't kids queer? Don't
 know whats good for them." l remember a girl in junior high who had to read it in her course and having no sense of hu-
 nor made a tremendous fuss. That
 same girl, now married, cannot wait until her baby is old enough to be read "Alice." And he, too.
 may not like\ it. to find in later life that he wouldn't have missed lit for the world.
 It is book to live with--a de- ] lightful tonic for our deadly over- lseriousness. It should be read at least once in lifetime and every

To this was added one and one-half tablespoons lemon juice. one-third cup sugar mixed with two tablespoons flour. When cooked and thickened the mixture was spiced lightly with cinnamon and two tea spoons butter added. Then this was poured over the fruit which had been placed in the pastry shell. The lattice was put over and pie was baked about 25 minutes. Had the apricots and prunes not been sweet ened when cooked it would have been necessary to add more sugar.

Womans crown of glory often looks like shining halo these days with the new little brats of hats pushed way back off the top of the head.
 Hair never was so important as it is right this minute. At least remember. II you have pretty hair, don't worry about your un- even features. your eyes that aren't the color you like best, or your figure which is not 100 per cent. Just dress up to that head of hair, wear your hats back so 1t will show to best advantage and know wherever you go.
 The new cultures go in for long, low, easy waves. Not the least | like the tight, even, marcelled heads that bobbed here, there. everywhere in such brisk manner couple of summers ago. If you have one side of your face that isn't quite as perfect as the other, part your hair on the inn perfect side. A change in part is q stimulating thing. It is good for your hair. 1t is better for your spirit. Just seeing yourself look a wee bit different makes you suspect that you look better. That never hurt any of us!
 If you are letting your hail grow, curl up those "scolding locks that slip out of the snood. They are irresistible as "tendrils." They are unsghtly as "stringy locks"

Food adventuring is' great sport. There Is always the chance that the new connection may be good enough to earn a permanent place in the family and even the company menus. Such dish was the prune- cot pie. Lois had some cooked apricots in the refrigerator. She had planned on making prune pie which was one of Rogers favorites. And then she found she was short of prunes. Why not add some of those cooked apricots," said the ven- |turesome Lois. And the result was q new dish. destined to bring fame to Lois. She called 1t prunecot pie.
 She lined a pie plate with rich pastry and built up rim. There she rolled some paste into strips and cut them with the pastry jag ger. These went over the top. lat tice fashion. after the filling was in.
