1t was true that Twitchtail was grow
ing more and more careless and less
and less watchful In his exciting game
with Flip he was forgetting other
dangers. Less and less often did he
look up in the air for Hawks or Eagles
And then one morning he learned a
lesson he never forgot as long as he
lived. 1t happened this way:
Twitchtail was a little farther than
usual from his doorway under the big
rock. From the top of that rock he
had seen Flip coming. At once witch
tail had scampered to meet him. He
was feeling particularly good that
morning, so he went Just a little far
ther than usual, sure that when the
time came he could reach the safety of
home before Flip could catch him. He
had eyes for no one but the approach
ing Flip. He sat very straight, watch
ing Flip draw nearer and nearer Sud-
denly Flip saw him, and with a yelp
started for him as only that lively little
Dog could.

If it is dark, it may be made lighter

If it is inconvenient, mirror may

If it is dull and without character,
a mirror may be used to give it sparkle
and life.
Mirrors have always been used to
improve the appearance of our houses
Like pools and fountains in old-time
gardens, which reflected the lovely lines
of the houses beside them or cast
sparkling, dancing shadows on their
walls or increased the apparent size of
the gardens, mirrors have been used
for centuries with a full appreciation
of the part they play in making our
surroundings more attractive.
TO be effective, mirrors must be ar
ranged with intelligence. For the
woman who just doesn't have that kind
of intelligence-and many women
haven't; they know when things look
right. but they don t know just how to
place them to make them look right
it is always possible to get expert ad-
vice from interior decorators or furni-
ture departments about hanging mir
TorS.
Here are some suggestions from a
clever decorator about placing mirrors
that might be helpful to anybody fur
niShing house-or hanging a new
mirror:
Always remember that the view re-
fected by the mirror should be attrac-
tive. Place the mirror where 1t will re-
fleet not dark doorway. but a pretty
view of a garden, an attractively fur
niSEed corner of a room, door looking
into another cheerful room.
Don't hang mirrors where they will
reflect light unattractively. A mirror
hung where it reflects the sun for hours
a day makes a glaring, unattractive
spot.
TO use mirrors so that they increase
the size of a room, place them so that
they reflect a view, vista of some
sort. This can sometimes be done by
placing them so that they reflect win
dowS, sometimes SO that they reflect
wide door into another room or a hall
way. Sometimes long, low mirror
placed over fireplace makes the room
tall, narrow mirrors two of them, placed
at different sides of the room, do the
trick.
1t is possible to make almost any
room in the house more convenient
with a mirror or two. The entrance hall

To Keen Flowers,

Put cut flowers in a glass Of cold
water and place them in the refrigerator
to keep until wanted. Flowers will
keep fresh and pretty for several hours
for table decorations if placed in the
refrigerator after each meal Do not
place in the coolest place. Flowers can
be worn after being in the refrigerator
for several days. Many people own
treasured vases, particularly tall, wide
mouthed ones, which they do not use
because Of the difficulty in arranging
flowers in them. This difficulty may be
overcome by cutting circle of stiff
cardboard just little larger than the
top of the vase. and punching holes in
it at convenient spaces for the stems
This, when pressed into the top of the
vase, will hold the flowers firmly in the
desired arrangement. Flowers sent by
mail in hot weather will travel we'll If
they are rolled in newspaper. The first
sheet should be damp and the second
dry. Wet. but not soaked, strips of
cloth should be wrapped round the
stems.

Choose fine fruit. The best makes
the finest kind to serve in Winter when
the fresh varieties are not aVallable or
are too expensive for the average purse:
Overripe fruits do not retain any OF
the desirable firm quality whenScooked.
The tendency is to lose it. When such
fruit is packed, it is apt to break, or If
not then, when it is taken from the
lar. The result Is muSSy-looking dish
instead of a fresh appearing one.
Overripe fruit will not jell well. 1t
will not be firm and hard, but have a
sirlpy texture. If all that is available
of the fruit wantcd for the jelly is over
ripe, add the juice of apples. It is full
of that necessary hardening in
gredient, pectin. Expert cooks can de-
tect such added pectins whether COM
mercial or homemade, unless used very
sparingly So do not mix the havorS of
your jelly by such addition II avoidable.
But be glad that there are such ingre-
dients when fruit is overripe. The
flavor Is not pure with the outside pee
tin, but 1t is good. Fec instance, apple
jelly is delicious, but when grape jelly
is served, for instance, the grape flavor
should be pronounced. 1t SpoilS variety

In canning have jars heated before
/ filling them lest they break with the
sudden boiling heat of contents. Fill
the jars full to overflowing so that air
is excluded To further this run a
flexible knife blade around the inside
of the jar before sealing it. and when
the bubbles escape pour on trifie more
juice.
Rubbers must fit we'll, and not have
lost their elasticity. They must re-
bound to entirely keep out air after
covers are snapped or screwed down.
Turn jars upside down for some hours
after being filled and sealed. See that
they are dry when overturned and that
there is no water or juice on the tray
or table on which they stand. If during
this time any liquid seeps out, the con-
tents of any particular jar must be
cooked again and bottled. If the liquid
cooks away in the rescalding process,
and the jar is not absolutely full for
sealing, add little boiling hot water to
make the jar overflow before sealing it.

suit in deep wine red with large collar
shaped to simulate lapels. The lower

Shoes Better for Feet.
BY MARIE sHALMAR,


sprained and strained ankles are not
SO prevalent as they used to be, for the
obvious reason that low shoes are worn
all the time by almost every one nova
days. Our ankles may have become
larger as a result, but they have be-
come UNNECESSARILY stronger. The old
time closely laced or buttoned shoes
prevented the ankle muscles from de-
veloping as they should Consequently
when low shoes or slippers We're worn
strains or sprains frequently followed.
one doctor, IN commenting on the
decrease in sprained and strained
ankles, remarked that of late years
many women came to him for treat
ment Of puffy insteps. They imagined
frequently that this condition was due
to some organic disorder, but in most
cases 1t was due to an easily remedied
difficulty. Tight garters or bloomer
elastics frequently restrict the circula-
ton so that both ankles and instepS
tend to swell
Sometimes insteps become enlarged
and swollen as result of real strain
or bruise. Shoe straps that are too
tight or shoes cut too high in the vamp
frequently press against the instep
enough to irritate it. Nature comes to
the rescue and puffs the ankle-pro-
viding a sort of cushion to protect the
nerves and ligamentS and muscles.
Woman motorists sometimes strain
their insteps as result of driving in
high-heeled shoes. To prevent this you
do not have to give up your beloved
high heels. An excellent plan Is to
provide yourself with a pair Of fat
heeled sports oxfords which you may
keep in flap Of your car. Then when
you are going to motor for any distance
slip of your high-heeled slippers in
your car and don your motoring shoes.
Continuous depression prevailed
after the panic of 1893 for four years.

Old Mother Natur

Broad OF wing and with marvellous
eyes, the Western cousin of King Eagle
of the white head kept watch over a
very wide piece of country. 1t was
Talons the Golden Eagle. There was
little that went on that he did not see,
for whether he was laZily perched on
tall tree or cliff, or sailing just be-
meath the clouds. his sharp eyes were
ever searching the ground. He knew all
about the arrival of Farmer Browns
Boy and Flip the terrier. He could
have told you what they did and where
they went each day. They did not in
terest him much in themselves, but
they did interest him because of their
effects on the little people in fur and
feathers whom they were forever dis
turbing, often frightening.
So it was that Talons soon discovered
how Twitchtail the Squirrel was teas
ing Flip. At first Talons had given the
matter no particular attention. If he
don't look out that silly Squirrel will
get himself in a peck of trouble"
thought Talons. That Dog is smart,
and one of these days he will be too
smart for Twitchtail. hope he'll have
more success than I have had. must
admit that Twitchtail has been too
smart for me. I'm glad. I'm certainly
glad that some of his family and
neiRhbOrS haven't been quite SO
smart" He snapped his great hooked
bill, which was his way Of sInacking his
lips.
So, for while he watched Twitchtan
and Flip, more for the fun of watching
them than for any special reason. But
TalonS long ago learned to take note OF
little things, and presently he saw that
Twitchtail was so busy teasing Flip
that he wasn't keeping a proper watch
for other hunters. A new interest
cleaned in those keen eyes.
II must keep an eye on those fell
lows" he muttered. THAT Twitchtail
must be losing his senses. He hasn't
eyes for anything but that dog. He is
the smartest Squirrel in these parts.

Kleenex is utterly unlike any

Amazingly soft. Downy of surface.
Cloth-like of texture. And scien-

speed and efficiency.

home at his best speed, with Flip rae
ing after him. It was very exciting.
Twitchtail began TO wonder if he
hadn't made a mistake this time in
going so far. There was little chill of
real fear that gave added speed to his
legs. He was almost there when the
sun was shut off an instant and mov-
ing shadow crept over him. At the
same time there was the hiss Of stiff
wing feathers. He knew what it meant.
He had heard that sound before. More
than once he had seen a careless
neighbor disappear forever at the hiss
Of wings. He forgot Flip. His one
thought now was to reach that door
way in the very next Jump, for he felt
sure that if he failed to he never would
reach 1t.
Poor Twitchtail! In that one little
minute he realized how very foolish ne
had been. He knew that now he would
be likely to pay, and pay dearly, for his
carelessness. He plunged for that open
door, that little hole under the rock,
and for two or three minutes after he
didn't know just what did happen. In
deed, he never did know all about 1t.
