Answer: An invitation to the chris
tening would be more likely to exact a
gift than an announcement, which
really eXactS nothing. You can or
der your own cards and envelopes to
fit, and address the envelopes. When
the baby arrives the stationer will at
once engrave the name and date on
the little cards and tie them to yours.
Then send them out as soon as pos
Sible.
w. X. R.: II have been invited
to Stork shower given in honor Of
young woman with whom I am very
slightly acquainted. l will not be able
to go to the party. Must l send a
gift, anyway"
Answer: If you know her only
slightly, you should really not have
been invited in the first place, and in
the second place there is no possible
obligation to send a present if you do
not accept the invitation. Should you
go to the shower, you would have to
take a small gift, even though the
young woman for whom the shower is
given is stranger to you.
M D. s.: will you give me the
recipes for the caudle and for white
cake which you have said are proper
to serve at a chriStening?"
Answer: Cooking recipes are not in
my province. Real caudle is supposed
to have slight amount of strained
cereal in it as thickening. But 9TH
erWiSe it is just an eggnog. White
cake is sometimes called lady cake.

Old Mother Nature.

YOHNNY CHUCK had had timely
warning from Blacky the Crow
and so had once more escaped
~ from Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy
But for Blacky, it is quite likely
that Johnny would have poked his
head out of his back door and been
caught by Mrs. Reddy. who was lying
fat in the grass close to it. So, while
Johnny was feeling grateful to Blacky,
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had anything
but kindly feelings toward Blacky.
They glared up at him, and If looks
could have hurt him he would have
dropped right down dead. But there
was nothing they could do about it, SO
. they didn't waste much time thinking
about it.
Johnny, having had a good break
fast, did a lot Of thinking about it.
Suppose, just suppose, Blacky had not
come along when he did. What would
have happened to me-" thought he.
"Now I can't depend on Blacky to warn
me every morning. Tomorrow morning
he may not come this way at all. If
he doesn't will never know when it is
safe even TO look out. Reddy Fox and
Mrs. Reddy are very patient people.

|HE Washington anniversary quilt
is shown today in the full
beauty of its entirety. For the
L benefit of any readers who have
failed to see the first article on
this quilt which describes its origin
and purpose, a little explanation may
be welcome. The quilt is designed as
a homemaker's and home decorator
tribute to the honor of washington,
whose 200th birthday anniversary Is be-
ing celebrated throughout the length
and breadth of the United States.
In 1882, when Washington was born,
patchwork quilts were in high favor.
They we're economical necessities and
decorative possibilities. They supplied
warm bed coverings and opportunities
for quiltmakerS to exercise their artistic
ability in patching pieces OF discarded
textiles into coverlets of genuine beauty.
MANY are the treasured quilts which
have come down to us during the IN
tervening years. There would have been
more had not the already-used materials
from cast-off garments lost much OF
their original durability. But in those
which have lasted the women who made
them were discriminating in their use
of the textiles, putting In Sucn pieces
only as were stout and strong.
In 1882, the same styles OF quilts are
again in high favor. They are enjoying
a renaissance. Women are plying their
needles in the making of patchwork COW
erlets, some of which vie with the old
time designs and some of which employ
the identical patterns of historic an
cestry. Both piece and applique patch
work are used today as in bygone years.
In the washington anniversary quilt
both.pieced and applqued patchwork are
ernrSIoved to form a commemorative

In the young turtles the upper shell
is oval and strongly keeled. The lower
shell is very narrow and seems much
shorter than the upper. Neither of the
lobes can be drawn up. They are
ridged and the rear portion remains so
until the turtle is grown up. Their
large heads, conical snouts and blink
ing eyes give the creatures a strange
sort of look. They seem to know
something they are determined not to

Do not put a spraying pump

has an injurious effect if allowed

pump after using and keep in dry

When preparing cereals it is
we'll to remember that too much
grain and too little water make a
lumpy mass. Too much water
makes thin, watery cereal.
Proper measurements and long
cooking give you a creamy cereal.

as you know. I made ready for 1t be-
fore the babies were born"
"How?" asked Johnny, showing the
surprise he felt.
Simply enough" replied Polly Chuck
Don't you remember that this house
has three doors?"
II had forgotten it," Johnny con-
fessed. Yes, sir, I had forgotten it.
! OF course 1 remember, now that you
mention it,
so even if they find all three doors
they can watch only two and 1 can
watch them from the other" added
Polly.
"Good-by!" cried Johnny, as he
! turned and started for home.
Where are you going?" cried Polly.
ITO work" replied Johnny, and
showed her pair of black heels
AS soon as he reached home Johnny
set to work digging. He is a good dig
ger, is Johnny Chuck. He knows how
to use those little black hands of his.
From half way between his front door
| and his bed room he started new hall.
All the sand had to be pushed out the
front door. In doing this he tried to
scatter it as much as he could so that
no one would notice that it was freshly
dug.
1t was comparatively easy digging
there and Johnny, not being afraid of
work when there is work to be done,
kept at it. Now and then he came out
to get bite of sweet clover or tender
grass and sit up on his doorstep for a
rest and look around. Then back he
would go and his little black hands
would scoop out the sand and his black
heels would kick it behind him. AT last
the hall was long enough to suit him.
Then he began to dig up. Very. very
carefully he opened an entrance in Il
clump Of grass. And not grain of
telltale sand was there around it,
From this the next morning Johnny
watched Reddy and Mrs. Reddy as they
watched his two other doors, and all
the time he was chuckling inside.
