FOOD SUGGESTIONS

A FRUIT cocktail is liked by
a such a large majority of people
that it is usually served as be-
ginner for a luncheon or dinner.
Fresh fruit is always the favOrite,
but now that canned grapefruit is
available in almost any market, it,
with other canned fruits, makes a
most tasty cocktail A canned pear,
peach, a bit of pineapple with some
of the fruit juice will make most
delectable cocktail. Sometimes the
addition of a fresh orange will add
to the flavor. with a cherry or two
for color.
When something different is
wanted for a vegetable try:
Celery au Gratin.
Cut the celery into small bits and
cook in boiling salted water until
tender but not too soft. Drain and
place in a baking dish with a rich
white sauce, a layer of each and
top with the celery, covered with a
half-inch top of buttered crumbs.
Bake in hot oven until the
crumbs are brown. Add grated
cheese for more nouriShng dish.
which, if a cupful of cheese is
used, will do for a main dish at
luncheon.
One of these chill days serve fried
salt pork with cream gravy, baked
potatoes and onions and apples
cooked together in small amount
of sweet fat. If the apples are very
tart add a little sugar which will
also add to the flavor and color.
Cook the onions until about half
done before adding the apples
sliced. Serve as a vegetable.

dashed in from the kitchen. And
what did she do? For half mo-
ment she stood rigid, her eyes

Not a dramatic, hysterical laugh,
just laughter, full of good nature,

ment was, 81 don't see how she can
do it."
Now come to think of it, what
else could she do? Rage? Abuse
her already stricken young hus-
band? To what purpose? And to
the end merely Of running the party
which meant so much to them both.
No, she did the only thing possible
to save the day. She laughed
and said quite evenly, 1T doesn't
matter, John. Run down to the del
icatessen and get couple Of roast
chickens" Almost as soon as the
floor was cleaned up the tragedy
was forgotten. the roast chickens
served the purpose, the evening
was saved.

bands family to a greater extent
than the most eXpertly prepared
turkey could have done for her.

VISITORS TO PADDY'S POND

THE hunter who was hiding near
l. the pond of Paddy, the Beaver,
hoping that Lightfoot, the Deer,
would come back there and give him
a chance for a shot, was man of
patience. Also he was man who un-
derStOOd the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Mead
Ows. He knew that if he would
not be seen he must not move. He
sat as mOtfonless as If he were a
part of the very log on which he
was sitting.
For some time there was no sign
of any living thing. Then, from
over the tree tops in the direction
of the Big River, came the whistle
of swift wings, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack alighted with a splash in the
pond. For few moments they sat
on the water, picture of watchful
suspicion. They were looking and
, listening to make sure that no dan
ger was near. Satisfied at last, they
began TO clean their feathers 1t
was plain that they felt safe. Pad
dy. the Beaver. was tempted to
warn them that they were not as
safe as they thought, but as long
as the hunter did not move, Paddy
decided to wait.
Now the hunter was sorely tempt
ed to shoot those ducks, but he
knew that if he did he would have
no chance that day to get Light
foot the Deer, and it was Lightfoot
he wanted. SO Mr.. and Mrs. Quack

Bobby was quite unsuspicious. He
had something, just what the hunt
er could not make out. He took 1t
down 10 the edge of the water and
there carefully washed it. Then he
climbed up on Paddy's dam and be-
gan to eat. You know, Bobby Coon
is very particular about his food.

Possession Demands Our
Service, Lest We Perish

The only hope of perfecting hui
man relationship is in accordance
with the law of service under which
men are so solicitous about what
they shall give. Yet people are en-
titled to the rewards of their indus
try. What they earn is theirs. no
matter how small or how great. But
the possession of property carries
the obligation to use it in a larger
service.
For a man not to recognize the
truth, not to be Obedient to law, to
render allegiance to the state, is for
him to be at war with his own ma
ture, to commit suicide. That is why

THE BLIND
POSTMAN
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

zach day the mailman makes his
IL round,
His eyes forever on the ground,
His mind forever on the past,
For grief has found his heart at
last.
Each day the mailman has to bear
This new, this unaccustomed, care,
And men behold in his hurt eyes
A look, half sorrow, half surprise.
For grief has come and struck him
down,
The merry poStman of the town,
Who used to whistle up the street,
And had his friends, and all things
sweet.
And, in his eyes, with sorrow bent
Is something of astonishment
That such things happen. that one
day
Can come and take so much away
And yet for thirty years he bore
His miSsives to his neighbOr's door
Black-bOrdered letters, or a page
Scrawled by the lonely hand of age
The pleading Of some woman's
heart,
Who hears the faithless one de
part
And yet within the mailman's eyes
The look is sorrow. and surprise.
