Buddy stuck out his lips and
flung himself on the steps. His
mother said, "Never mind, dear.

His father reached in his pocket
automatically and handed over the
coin.
"Ill get some candy" said the
youth.
"After supper" corrected his
mother.
But Buddy argued. So after a
bit he was allowed to go to the
store and get the candy if he prom
Used not to eat it until later.
OF course he ate four large pieces
on his way home.
Refusing Orders
He didn't feel the least com
junction about it. Hadn't his
father failed him? Hadn't he been
treated unjustly? He was within
his rights, he figured, to fill this
breach of confidence, and help
himself to consolation.
He wouldn't eat his supper.
Eat your meat, Buddy" Or
dereds his father. "And stop play

I'm not hungry" Buddy push

the words,

slim and young and lovely and her
keen mind was always keeping

wasn'5t soft. Life had hardened

Sue interrupted. She hardly

"She must leave him! He isn't
fit to be her husband!" Ida
thought. "she must be brave and
stand by her rights!"
But Elinor did not comply with
Lidas suggestions. She received
her mother in the drawing room.
That was q beginning that Ida,
who wanted boudoir intimacy
in her daughters house, did not
like.
"It's frightfully hot." Ida said
as she sat down. Why don't
you get away?" ~. s ''.,'

What had her mother come

bled as she waited.

Elinor sat back and Ida be-

girls cheeks. She closed her eyes a
moment, then opened them. 1t was
true that each week Barrett went

room that she knew well became
suddenly remote and misted. She
must not let her mother see what
this talk was doing to her.

seemed that the very trying, wish

trained paralytics to walk and

In 2GANALC sNEAAGA
Too often picnic menus are
planned in a haphazard fashion
with an unbalanced meal as the
result. II these careless meals are
repeated frequently( much damage
can be done to the digestion.
Unfortunately, it's the children
who are the chief sufferers at pic
mics because their needs are sell
dom considered. The same prin-
ciples of nutrition must be kept
IN mind whether family dinner
is being planned or luncheon is be-
ing selected from q menu card in a
restaurant.
Importance OF Sandwiches
The picnic composed of sand
witches, fruit and a drink Is the
easiest meal to plan. The sand
witches do duty for the main
dish" and must be high in food
value and easy to digest.
A menu which is a bit more
elaborate adds q salad to the
sandwiches and little cakes or
cookies to the fruit. Here again
the sandwiches may be the chief
source of protein, although meat
or fish salad may be chosen and
vegetable sandwiches provided. If
hearty sandwiches are planned,
then the salad should furnish
bulk, mineral constituents and
vitamins as we'll as aiding
piquancy and interest to the meal.
Always choose a salad which car
ries well, for unless the dish is at
tractive, it's doubtful addition to
the repast.
The picnic planned to take the
place of dinner at home adds a
hot dish to the salad and sand
witch menu. The hot dish might
well be a "one-piece" concoction
which combines vegetables and
meat. Macaroni or rice combina-
ton dishes are also suitable. Seal
Hoped tomatoes with bacon, seal
Hoped cauliflower in cheese sauce,
combinations of vegetables with
meat cooked in a casserole, stuff
ed baked vegetables - the dishes
are legion that are acceptable for
such meal. These mixtures are
satisfactorily carried in the dish
in which they were baked and can
be kept hot several hours If
wrapped in many thicknesses of
mouthed vacuum jugs Is not avail

Sometimes it seems advisable
to carry the salad ingredients in
separate containers and combine
them when ready to serve. A
closely covered tin pail keeps let
tuce deliciously crisp. The dress
ing can be carried In a glass jar
and the other materials packed in
paper containers which can be de-
stroyed when empty.
If you can carry a watermelon,
1t makes a refreshing dessert and
acts as thirst quencher as well.
