MILADY BEAUTIFUL

But the most important point ID foe
the too-thtn person TO cultivate even{
ness Of temperament. There Is not much
use gaining pound by dieting II you
lose two or three pounds by worrying
and useless, nervous energy which keen
the body in . state Of semi-starvationv
Remember, too, those OF you who arr
unable to gain weight, that gradual losS
Of weight or inability to gain may be
due to some long corHryed minor ale
ment-for example, after . septic cons
dition in the mouth, throat nose, o1
absorption Of toxins due to ciiroifsc coma
stipation.
Then, too, quite often 1t results fron1
an unsatisfactory mode of life, for inf
stance. in the case of the "two-jobs
woman. who tries to combine an office
position or other work outside the hons
with the care Of house or nat. Or
the single girl or woman who lives
alone and does not plan her meals in
telligently and who rishes around from
one social engagement to another after
her days work Is over instead Of GET
ting sufhcient sleep, rest and outdoor
exercise Then there Is the young mar

young children to take care Of ana
who never gives herself the time neces-
sary to eat, sleep and relax. She In
on the go from morning until night
and her work is never done. Loss of
weight Is one of the most frequent
signs Of early tuberculosis also.
So I would suggest to those Of you
who desire to gain weight to have o
thorough medical. examination first.
Reform your mental attitude, too, II
you have the tense hurry habit, and
make the necessary readjustments in
the mode Of your life, before you expect
to build up well rounded figure. Plan
your meals intelligently. Learn to re-
lax nervous tensions Have sufficient
sleep and rest, not once In q while, but
regularly every night. Spend some
time out of doors each day In the fresh

amount Of exercise daily. Before eat.

two babies coming along nicely and
probably three, for Sunshine the War
bier builds such q nice deep nest that
am sure the egg left there couldn't
have been kicked out. I'll Just take
a peep at that nest to make sure that
the baby Is being properly fed. II
three babies are raised from four eggs
I'll be satisfied"
Now, the nest of Sunshine was in q
bush growing near the farther end OF
the old stone wall and was the daintiest
had left her eggs. For a small nest II
was quite deep and was securely
fastened in q fork OF the bush some
seven feet above the ground. The out
side was silver-gray and the inside
was lined with fine grasses and the
soft down Of fern cotton. Sally Sly
always uses a nest of the yellow
Warbler when she can find one.
Now she hid nearby until the two
parents had gone to hunt food for the
babies. Then she fiew over and hur-
riedly peeped in the nest. There wer
four babies who stretched up their
necks and opened their big mouths for
the food she hadn't brought. There
she had left her own there. 50 four
babies was the right number. Never
theless there was something wrong. All
those babies were Of q size. Yes, sir,
all those babies were Of size. All
were baby Warblers. It didn't require
more than . glance to make sure of
this.
Sally Sly hastily withdrew to q place
where she could think 1t over with no
danger of being disturbed. She was
sorely puzzled. Why should her egg
have disappeared and the other eggs
been undisturbed? Who was the thief
that had liking for just her eggs?
All the egg-stealers she knew had q
liking for all kinds of eggs.
As she had done at Red-eyes nest,
she looked about on the ground near
the nest, but this time she didn't find
so much as q bit of shell. The thief
probably swallowed II whole or took
It away" decided Sally. Then she
looked at the nest again and there
was something unfamiliar about 1t.
Can ! have made q mistaken"
thought she. mo, know I haven't.
I never forget where leave my eggs,
and this Is Just where that nest was.
There Is something funny about this
whole business. Here comes those
warblers and It won't do to be seen
around here"

/" HE wildcat Is Q night galliyanter
and his loud caterwauling may
be heard for great distances. He
i Is announcing the fact he is
looking for mate. The sounds
are blood-curdling and make one think
the months Of January and February
the song keeps up. After he finds his
mate silence reigns in the woods, for,
be 1t known, the bobcat Is not one to
betray his whereabouts at any other
time.
His long, slender body is q combina-
ton Of grace and suppleness. He can
carry q bulk much larger than himself,
| climb tall trees, leaping from bough to
bough, and Is q clever hunter OF the
doe deer, young lambs, hares, rabbits
| and mice. Chickens are his weakness
and he goes with consummate stealth
toward the roost. But the one thing
his nerves cannot stand Is that unex-
pected alarm clock of the chicken yard,
the guinea keat. The first shrill sound
and he Is the worst shell-shocked crea-
ture you ever saw.
The distinctive characteristics of
these cats are the fewness Of teeth and
| the perfection of the CANNES, the
| short jaws, the strong retractile claws
and the great strength of the fore limbs
The fur Is brownish gray marked with
black tsripes above and white on the
under side. The head has black
stripes, too, on the throat Is a spot of
| yellow. The white, blunt tail has rings
Of black, with tip also OF black.
Only when wounded or cornered will
he fight man. and wildcat in a tight
place can put up hot fight. He is
| cautious, shy, and avoids the open
spaces. He can be tanned and purrs
| when petted.
| The mother seeks hollow tree or the
abandoned home of fox The nursery
Is made comfortable with moss and
leaves, and about May the triplets are
born. Sometimes there are only twins
and again there will be five Of the most
| spiteful little blind babies you ever saw
From the very first they are truly sa-
| tanic, and. when in q fury and rage,
they are little devils in fur. The little
growing wretches spend their time this
way until old enough, which Is the lat
ter part of June, to 60 out hunting the
little folks Of the underbrush. Birds,
eggs and young, have no chance with
| these clever hunters. Mice and small
rodents are eagerly sought. A tiny dog
then the little coward will hang from a
branch over his head and mock and
| spit at him.
In very cold climates they hibernate
and come out of their Winter quarters,
lean, hungry and cross. They are
| especially fond of house cats.
With all his n1eanness, he is buffer
| He dislikes, above all else, to get wet
and he lives to the ripe old age Of Is
years.

LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPE.

Pop was looking at the paper while
We was eating breakfast, and he SLAP
ped it down on the tale mad, saying,
They're pack of pussyfooted chicken
livers, the whole crew of them.
Who, my goodness' ma said, and pop
said. Our noble aggregation Of council
men, that's who. and I repeat my ac-
cusation, they're pack Of chicken
livereds pussyfooters.
You said they was q pack Of pussy
footed chicken livers, pop, I said, and
he said, know did, but they're get
ting verse every minnit. They don't
know their own minds for more than
10 minnits at stretch, they'll jump at
the crack of anybody's whip like the
pack Of sheep that they are, he said.
Can a pack of sheep have chicken
livers, pop? said. and pop said, They
can and they have. What they don't
have is determination and will power.
That's what the whole werld lacks to-
day, determination and will power, the
ability to say thing and then do 1t.
This Of all periods Is no time for vacil-
lation, for continual looking and no
leeping. this Is time for resolute &C
tion, by gollies, he said.

NANCY PAGE
Nancy Pickles a
Peck of Peaches
BY FLORENCE La oANn.

"Shsll I peel the peaches or shall I
! not for the picked peaches?" This
was the question which was running
through Nancys mind as she looked
at the peck OF fruit which she was going
TO pickle She decided to peel half Of
them, leaving the skins on the re-
mainder. Then she would listen to the
comments of her family and guests as
they ate them. Their comments would
decide her plan Of action next year.
She plunged the peaches into boiling
water, taking out half of them quickly.
These were to be the unpeeled ones. The
were then peeled. Blanching them in
hot water makes 1t easier to remove
the skins. Nancy had learned this at
school.
She took whole cloves and stuck one
In each peach.
She did this with both the peeled
and unpeeled fruit.
The stones were left in, since these
peaches were clingstones.
She made a sirup Of 5 pounds.
or 10 cups, of sugar, two cupfuls of
cider vinegar and one cupful Of water.
She used two-thirds of a cup of stick
cinnamon broken into small pieces. This
mixture or picking sirup was cooked
for Is minutes.
This amount of sirup takes care of
seven pounds Of fruit.
The peaches were put into the sirup,
not too many at time, and cooked
until they were tender when pierced
with knitting needle or sharp tine of a
fork. They were not cooked to the
mushy stage. That was why Nancy did
not put too many into the sirup at one
time. When tender she put the
peaches into clean. hot jars. When
the peaches were all cooked the sirup
was brought back to rapid boil and
then poured over the fruit. The cans
were filled to overfiowing, sealed with
hot, sterile rings and covers and set
away.

the custom to wear white or q veil, o.
carry a real bridal bouquet at q second
marriage. Is that true? My first mar
riage was performed in the office Of the
justice Of the peace, consequently have
never had real wedding. This time I
am to be married in a church. It Ia
the bridegroom's first marriage. ! sup
pose the clothes he should wear de.
pends on what the bride wears?"
Answer.-You cannot wear myrtle or
orange blossoms or bridal veil, because
these are the emblems of virgin purity.
But you can perfectly well carry
bridal bouquet and wear q white dress
with a hat. The clothes of the bride
in no way affect those Of the BRIDE
groom, who wears cutaway. Or II hs
happens not to have a cutaway, he
wears dark blue suit.
Dear Mrs. Post: Instead Of mailing
announcements on the day Of the we'd
ding, would 1t be so awfully improper to
mail announcements TO personal friends
few days before the wedding, so that
any gifts could be laid out with the
others for the day Of the wedding?"
Answer.-It Is impossible to make
the announcement that you have been
married when 1t Is not truel And 7
am sorry to say that those who receive
announcements are not expected 10
send presents. Why not invite all your
friends to the simplest sort Of gathering
after the ceremony?

| priced. The care given them was far
| greater than today when prices are
lower and books are universally owned
The book lover continues to treat vol
umes with the respect which Is their
due, but 1t is not uncommon to md
them nonchalantly handled by others
This is frequently because true
knowledge Of how to treat books Is not
known. SO the glimpses given today may
be illuminating.
Book bindings preserve pages. This
was their original purpose and con-
tinues to be their object. These bind
ings may be simple paper covers on
cheap editions, or handsomely fooled
and illumined leather on costly edi-
tions. In between these two extremes
there are thousands of different bind
ings in varying prices. The cheap re-
quire more care for their preservation
than Ndo the more expensive ones. not
for their intrinsic worth, but for the
protection they offer the pages they in
close. Care should be given bindings
as well as pages, for, although 1t is the
reading matter that one especially
wants, it is not easy to handle books
with torn or loose bindings, and
eventually the pages themselves get torn
or slip away from their stitchings.
Most persons realize that to throw
books down is bad for bindings. To
leave them open and covers spread out
is also hard on bindings. But few
really appreciate what it means to
bindings when books are not perfectly
upright in bookcases, book-troughs or
on shelves.
When a shelf is not filled with books
the last one is usually on slant. This
throws all the other volumes slightly
out of line The bindings are harmed
in proportion to the angles at which
they stand. After book has stood at
slant even for a comparatively short
time, it refuses afterward to stand up
right with both covers resting equally
as they should. One such book on a
shelf will push those next it trifle.
and so the bad effects are contagious.
To prevent books from falling over
or getting aslant, use book ends. See
that they are pressed firmly against
the volumes which they support. and
always stand books absolutely upright.
II no book ends are available. lay
enough books down at ends OF those
upright to keep the latter standing
correctly.

~ EvERAL Of my readers have
asked me to write an article on
how to gain weight and how to
~ round out the figure 50 that It
win look well In bathing suit.
50 today, let us see Just what can be
done about the too-thin type Of girl
Or woman.
It must be admitted that, on the
whole, the problem Of gaining weight
Is much more dificult than that Of
losing II. think the reason for this
lies in the mentality Of the individual;
the too-thin person has, as q rule, what
we may call thin temperament"
If you think Of all the thin people
you know, you will find that most Of
them are Of the hurrying, worrying
kind. They hurry and rush. even when
1t is not necessary, and give themselves
hardly time to swallow their meals. It
Is small wonder that the food they eat
does not build up their bodies because
1t is used up in providing energy for
their unnecessary nervous activities.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

his poem about the mouse he wrote
these famous lines:
"The best laid schemes Of mice and men,
Gang aft a-gley."
You will notice the strange words,
gang aft a-gley." They are q Scotch
method of saying "often go astray."
Other poems were written by this
young farmer, and in them we find a
large number Of Scotch words and ex-
pressions.
Perhaps should not call Burns q
farmer. 1t is true that he made q liv-
ing-or tried to make living-by
working on the SOIL but history knows
him as a poet, the most famous Scot
land has produced.
Soon after his little adventure with
the field mouse Burns found himself
unhappy in q love affair with Jean Ar
mour. Hoping to forget" he planned
to leave Scotland and 90 to Jamaica to
live.
The cost of the journey, he learned,
would be 60 less than $45), and he
did not possess such a sum. A friend
suggested that he have some Of his
poems published and raise money In
that way.
The poems were printed and won q
measure Of success. II 1t had not been
for request that he come to Edin-
burgh and have another edition Of his
poetry printed, he probably would have
gone to Jamaica. AS it was, he went to
Ediburgh. The new edition was great
success and the poet returned from the
city with $500 (niore than 2,40O) as a
reward for his writings!
The father OF Jean Armour no longer
stood in the way of Burns marriage to
her and the wedding took place.
The poet died when he was only SO
years Of age; but he left behind him
such poems as Bonnie Doone," High
land Mary" MY Luv's Like Red, Red
Rose" and ITO Mouse"
