can be kept busy for hours making
commonplace articles of food into en-
trancing chickens, rabbits, hens nests,
etc.
FIRST and foremost, of course,
comes the dyeing Of the Easter
eggs, in preparation for Mondays egg
rolling. All of the grocery stores,
drug stores and five-and-tens carry
simple and harmless egg dyes. All the
food shops, practically, feature mex
pensive eggs for dyeing, so that the
baskets are easily filled, and set aside
to await the great day.
And then the Easter candies. If
mother will only take time to make a
batch of fondant, from which the
children may model eggs and rabbits
in different colors, their happiness will
be complete. The fondant is simple
and inexpensive to make. Here is the
recipe:
''Fondant for Easter EGGS"
Two cups graunlated sugar. one cup
WdCC1 oAu ollC-lldll GCcSpOOlllu1 SICdlIl
Of tartar.
Mix ingredients in a saucepan, place
over flame and stir until the sugar has
dissolved. AS the sirup boils, skim
of crystals that form around the
edges with cloth moistened in cold
water. Do this very lightly; avoid
disturbing the boiling sugar. To test
the sirup, after the bubbles have be-
come large, dip a toothpick into ice
water, then into the sirup, then into
the ice water again. If the sugar that
sticks to it can be rolled into a ball,
the sirup is done.
Pour onto large platter that has
been creased with sweet oil and let
cool for few minutes. When fairly
firm, work with a wooden spoon until
the mixture has the consistency of
fine, creamy paste and is soft enough
TO be worked with the hands. Place
In a glass dish covered with a damp
cloth in the refrigerator for "a hours.

O mistaken idea that the Easter egg
dye can be used for this purpose!
Fondant eggs may be dipped in
chocolate, rolled in shredded coconut.
They may be rolled in tiny chocolate
decorettes, or sprinkled with vari-
colored sugar beads. Faces may be
drawn on them with the vegetable
coloring, using shredded coconut as
hair.
An attractive centerpiece for the
Easter table would be nest of these
gayly colored sugar eggs, surrounded
by green spun sugar, all encircled by
a ring of daffodils.
Another nest, shown in the photo
graph, is made of ring OF parsley, a
ring of Shoestring potatoes and dyed
hardboiled eggs. On table where
more informal decoration was the
order of the day, such centerpiece
would be novel and charming.

p ABBITS may be made from

in a watercress and lettuce nest as a
salad course. These Dummies have
cream cheese heads and white-o -of-egg
ears; the faces are drawn in pink
vegetable coloring matter, and the
tips of the ears are tinted pink to
match.
Amusing table decorations 'in tune
with the times" are baby chicks, made
of lemons, with cut-out paper wings
and tails, pipe-cleaner feet and
marshmallow heads Both these and
the egg rabbits have toothpicks to
attach the heads to the bodies.
OF course, the shops are all full Of
the most delightful fancies for the
season. But it is fun to make some
of them at home, and the children
enjoy it to the utmost. Artificial
grass and straw can be purchased
in most shops, and add to the natural
ness of some of the groups and figures.

A FOR the table itself-use your
lovelieSt white tablecloth, your
shiniest silver and prettiest glass. If
you are not going in for the CENTER
piece nests. and wish something beau
tiful rather than amusing, nothing is
lovelier for your Easter table than a
great mass of white lilies. Set in a
low bowl, held in position by a wire
support sunk in white sand, they are
graceful and charming expression
of the day.
Most of the caterers and ice cream
manufacturers feature special Eastsr
desserts in fancy molds, and you can
choose for yourself either a large fig
ure or group to serve the whole
table, or small individual molds with
different figure for each person.

Divisional
Dishes Win
Popularity
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

divisional dishes for serving
~ foods are decidedly popular. 1t
cannot be said that they are novelty,
for they have been made for genera
tions; but, nevertheless, their return
to fashion and the many styles in
which the dishes now appear give
them the semblance of novelty. So,
if you would have your china closet,
your silver chest and your tea table
up to date In furnishings, they must
include some dishes that are duplex,
triplicate or even of greater numbers
of separate compartments. These
dishes may be called conserve dishes,
refreshment dishes, hors d'oeuvre
dishes or any of the names by which
these comprehensive dishes or Sec
tional trays are termed.
A single one of these compartment
dishes can be used for numerous pur-
poses. For example. it can be used
for hors d'oeuvres for a first course
in true French style. Then canapes
could be in one dish, a salad COM
bination in another, broiled bacon
rashers skewered about tiny shrimp
in another, with olives in a fourth.
Or for relish dish, jelly could be in
one or two compartments with chow
chow in another, olives in another and
gherkins in another. There is no
hesitancy to duplicate kinds Of relisheS
in different compartments.
Various cheeses may be in different
compartments with crackers piled in
q oorfor o,,o ond tho diet, no,,1d &I,av,
be used for the final course Of a meal.
The trays can be used for sweet.
meats, in Chinese style, with bon
bons, candied fruits, nuts, candied
grapefruit or orange peel, etc., in
different compartments. One Chinese
gentleman used to serve Chinese
sweetmeats when he had afternoon
tea. There would be Chinese nuts OF
various sorts, Chinese pastelike con-
fections, little squares of candied CO.
>conuts and other unusual but pro-
durable Chinese sweetmeats.
The dishes themselves may have the
shaped compartments made in one
with the dish, or, what is even prefer
able, the dishes may be removable,
thus simplifying keeping them clean.
The tray or platter holder may be of
lacquer, glass or china with dishes
Of similar ware. The Chinese sweet
meat dish was of exquisite lacquer
with fitted cover over the founda-
ton container in which were fitted
many separate dishes of lacquer hand
somely ornamented. Such dish lends
style to any meal or afternoon tea.
There are others which grace q table
beautifully, some Of silver with glass
dishes fitted together inside. Ameri-
can divisional dishes are generally un-
covered.

EAH MlSO DlA. we nave
been married eight years and
have two children. When
II we were married, my wife
was very affectionate, we
had congenial tastes and were very
happy. I was well of, but shortly
after marriage I encountered difficult
ties In my business. My wife was
considerably inconvenienced, but did
not suffer as many others have dur
ing these times. She is musician
and organized a girls orchestra four
years ago. 1t did not produce any
revenue, but the fascination of being
away from home and playing in pub
lie places has obsessed her. Her net
profits are almost nil, but she claims
it is "her life" She is never at
home, she neglects her house and
the children, she is bored with me
and the children, she shows us no
affection or attention. Her business
is packed with troubles and difficult
ties. She is so nervous and on edge
that she is irritable and high-tem-
pered and almost impossible to live
with. In word, I have no wife, the
children no mother, and she has what
she calls "a career" though she can't
make living by it. My family and
friends tell me to divorce her, but I
am still fond of her and, while my in
come would support us all comfort
ably together, could not provide lib
orally for her and the children in a
separate home. What to do?
A FAITHFUL HUSBAND.
A NSWER-The only remedy for a
a. career -crazed woman is to give
her good strong dose Of it and let
her work it out of her system. AS
long as you support her and she has
all the comforts of home and a
family to fall back upon, the thrills
and excitement she gets in being out
in public and among the bright lights
are the meringue on her pie.
But if you would tell her that since
she refuses to perform any of the
obligations Of a wife, you will no
longer provide for her; that since she
neglects the children, you are going
to take them where they will be taken
care Of; and that since she will not
do her part in making a home, its
doors will be shut to her, you might
bring her to her senses. Throw her
on her own. Let her be lonesome
and wonder how she is going to pay
her rent and where the next meal is
coming from, and her career will not
look SO good to her as a husband and
home will.
THE woods are full of discontented,
restless wives, who have gotten
tired of baby-tending and the dull
round of domestic duties and who are
setting up gifte shoppes and opening
tea rooms and ANTIQUE parlors, where
they lose money that their dis
tracted husbands have to pay, and
the only cure for them is to make
them choose between their careers and
home.
For they can't do both. No woman
can turn out a job of being a good
wife and mother and housekeeper and
follow successfully career at the
same time, because either one takes
all Of her time and attention and
strength. OF course, she can hire
somebody to do her cooking for her,
and wash and dress her children, but
where can she find any one to give
her little children the love and un-
derstanding, the ceaseless patience,
and the never-ending interest of a
mother?

By and by he awoke with a start, and he was very wide awake, indeed. Something had wakened him, but just what 1t was he couldn't say.
 For a few minutes he heard noth- ing and saw nothing. Then, near the other edge of the thicket, he heard a great rustling of dry leaves. For just an instant Peter was startled, but only for an instant. His long ears told him at once that that noise was made by some one scratching among the leaves, and he knew that no one who did not wear feathers could scratch like that.
 "Now, who can that be2" thought Peter, and stole forward very soft ly. Presently he saw the brown leaves which -carpeted the ground fly this way and that, and in the midst of them was an exceedingly

THROUGH A .omanls Eyes
WHEN PEOPLE PRAY
By JEAN NEWTON

A NEWS dispatch from Moscow A says that drouth has turned the thoughts of Russian peasants to re- ligion.
 In the rich black earth district of central Russia, drouth comparable to that which turned parts of our own country into desert has threat ened the crops and therefore the lives of the people. And as things get worse it seems they are begin ming to pray.
 That the people who outlawed re ligion and denied God should turn to him when they are parched for rain IS not so unusual. It Is com mon resource of human nature when ln trouble to turn to prayer. And this is true not only of those with whom prayer, in humility and faith, Is part of life. It is true of maay who have never prayed that, when dire need or stark terror grips them, out of the innermost re- cesses of the soul of the man or woman comes that bond with its maker that Is like the cry of a child for its mother. When ali else fails them, they pray.
 I once heard a man boast that only twice In his life had he prayed: once when his dearly loved young wife was being carried, at deaths door, Into the operating room, and again when he himself was suffering intolerably agonizing pain! It seems to me the joke was on him.

IN MEMORY OF
 A BABY
By ANNE CAMPBELL

I DO not know why angel wings Should flutter near me in the
 night; Then swinging, as starling swings, Desert me for eternal flight. 1 do not know why baby hands Should cling one moment to my
 own, Then reach for the celestial lands, And leave me weeping all alone. Perhaps by heavens outer gate There is tiny sentinel, Who waits, as I have learned to
 wait, To hear the tolling of a bell. I longed to keep a little soul From this worlds sadness unde-
 filed, And weep that by the starry goal, Stainless, there waits a little child.

Just as he had about made up his mind to make his presence known and have bit of morning gossip, he happened to look out be- yond the edge of the little thicket. There he saw something red. It was something alive, for 1t was moving very slowly and cautiously toward the place where Chewink was scratching, forgetful of every. thing but his breakfast It was Reddy Fox, and quite plainly Reddy was hoping to catch Chewink.
 Suddenly Peter dumped the ground with his feet. It was his danger signal which all his friends know. Then he turned and scam pered, lipperty-lipperty-lip, to a bramble-tangle not far behind him. At that thump Chewink instantly flew up in a little tree. Then he saw Reddy Fox and began to scold. As for Reddy. he looked over to. ward the bramble-tangle and snarled.
 "I'll get you one of these days, Peter Rabbit" said he. "T'll get you one of these days and pay up for cheating me out of a breakfast Without as much as glance at Che wink, Reddy turned and trotted off, trying to look as If he had never entertained such thought as try. ing to catch Chewink.

Airplanes Drop Poison
 on Swarming Locusts

A new method of attack is to be tried against the swarms of locusts which trouble Africa. An airplane, with its wings spouting poison dust finely ground sodium arsenite-is to fly back and forth in front of the advancing army of insects. The man who will spread the poison is H. H. King, formerly chief ento- mologist of the Sudan government, and his method will be tried in northern Rhodesia.
 The locusts have long brought wholesale destruction of crops on the continent, writes correspond ent in the New York Herald Trib- une, their damage in tropical and sub-tropical Africa being estimated at f1.500,0O0 annually. Their swarms have been noted at sea 1,200 miles from land. and one cloud which crossed the Red sea in 1889 was reported to be about 10000 square miles In extent.
 To date there has beep>no com pletely successful metb6d of locust annihilation. The usual method of attack in dealing with the desert To- custs Is to kill them in the imma- ture (hopper) stage by means of poisoned bait laid on the ground. However, this does not work we'll in the case of the migratory To- custs, as the hoppers of this species do not partake of the bait readily.
 Several groups in England have been working to eliminate the To- cust plague. The Royal Aircraft establishment. the Imperial Insti- tute of Entomology, and the chem ical research department of the war ofice. an have aided the locust con trol committee of the economic ad- visory council.
