WHENEVER I get the chance I so
to the farm, where I can see the
COWS in the pasture and hear the brook
running by to carry its load of water
to Croton Lake that city dwellers may
live in their hives. The COWS do not
belong to me, nor does the brook. but
can see them and hear it, and that's
all Of them care about owning.
One afternoon was deep in my
book when q CHEEKY young voice
said, Good afternoon, Mr.. Patri.
Please may I paint your mail box"
"of course. But why and what and
wherefore?"
because we need the IS cents,
the box needs the paint, and guess
the what of it is that we are travelling
down South and earning our way by
painting the mail boxes along the
| roads"
go ahead and paint it. agree
that it needs painting, but I hadn't
thought Of it before. What made
you think of it?"
Had to think Of something. One
coat Of white on the post, name In
black, box two coats of silver. TWen-
ty-five cents. All right?"
who's the we?"
my husband and I. He letters, I
do the fiat work"
"May I come along and watch?"
"G1ad to have you"
So down I went to the road where
the mail box stands. There met q
young man, in his early 20s, a boy
with merry eyes and fine strong hands.
sat on stone while the two painted
and talked. We had great time. The
box got more than its share Of silver
paint, and at one stage of the conyer-
sation the young man paused, poised
his dripping brush and said. Shall
put the name on both sides? 1t will
cost 10 cents more"
Surely. That will tell the world
coming and going that live here.
Why only tell half such an interesting
fact as that? Make 1t double"
The boy had learned to print while
in the commercial classes in high
school. His free-hand printing was
better than good. There was a job
down in Florida for the Winter. Not
q great one, but it served. Bus boy
and waitress. Last year just . bus boy.
but this year, head bus boy, and the
boys chuckle was good to hear as 1t
blended with the sound of the brook
In the meadow beyond.
No, they didn't have to pay much
along the way. They slept in the car.
Wasn't the sleeping arrangement just
dandy? And they carried lunch
along, buying things in the shops
along the road. And people were so
interesting and they met so many diff
ferent sorts. 1T is so hard for them
to be SIMPLE" said the boy thought
fully. WELL" excused the girl, "they
have never had the chance to really
get down to the simple In their lives"
and she gave broad finishing stroke
to the end Of the box next the road.
Thanks very much. And the box
does look better, doesn't it?"
It did, and it does. And notice
all along the road in from Connecticut
that the boxes look better because
two brave young things passed that
way. Mr.. Merits box is resplendent,
so is Friend Daniels, and Kennedy's,
too. All along the road the boxes sa-

In the famous New Orleans Jumbalya.
which includes shrimp, tomatoes, rice
and other Savory ingredients.
We dealt with the final destinies OF
turkey at Thanksgiving time and most
OF those recipes would do equally well
for goose or chicken. One new one has
come to light, however, using oysters,
so we are including it in the column
today, together with the special one for
ham and panned oysters.
And do hope that your Christmas
has been truly a merry one!
HAM AND PANNED OYSTERS ON
TOAST.
For each portion serve a full slice
Of toast topped with a thin slice OF
baked ham of the same size that has
been heated under the broiler flame
or in frying pan. On top of each
serving of toast and ham, arrange
six panned oysters. Garnish each
serving with a dash of medium white
sauce, fresh parsley sprigs and a
sprinkling of paprika.
TO PAN OYSTERS.
Oysters may be panned in numer-
GUS ways, but for the above recipe
the following manner is suggested
as the most satisfactory. For each
serving Of oysters (six per serving)
allow one tablespoon butter. Melt
butter in dripping pan. When hot
but not brown lay the oysters in the
pan. Place the dish carefully in q
hot oven (400 degrees-425 degrees F.
and just heat the oysters through.
Be careful not to bake them. Re
move from the oven and season to
taste with salt and pepper. Moisten
the toast with the butter and juice
from the panned oysters.
The white sauce may be omitted If
the oysters are panned in the follow
ing manner: Follow the directions al
ready given for panning oysters but
use one-half tablespoon instead of
one tablespoon of butter for each six
oysters. When the oysters have been
removed from the oven, add one ta-
blespoon cream for each six oysters
and pepper and salt to taste. Pour
the butter and cream over the oysters
instead Of the white sauce.
CHICKEN AND OYSTERS A LA
METROPOLE.
cups medium white sauce.
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey diced.
pint oysters, cleaned and drained.
u cup finely chopped celery.
Prepare sauce in double boiler. Add
chicken or turkey and oysters and
cook until oysters are plump. Serve
sprinkled with celery. May be served
hot on toast points, in pattie shells,
In toast cases or boxes.

My Neighbor Says:

In nearly all cases where cac-
tus begins to wilt and die 1t is
because the roots have been in
jured by too much moisture. You
can repot it now. The soil should
be sandy and have good drain
age. Most people water their
plants too much in Winter.
Soap jelly made by dissolving
q large bar of soap in two quarts
of boiling water and two table,
spoons Of kerosene is a great aid
in keeping slate or porcelain
sinks clean and shiny.
Cake mixture should come well
up to the corners and sides Of
the pans, leaving a slight depres-
sion in the center. Cake will
then be perfectly fiat on top
when baked.
Don't buy very large or very
small vegetables. There Is much
waste in the small ones and the
large ones have lost some Of their
flavor.

because of the responsibilities settled
on your shoulders, you won't even be
able to elevate the pedal eXtremities.
(They tell me in writing that one
must, at all costs, avoid repetition.

The children may be happily abb
sorbed in their new toys and other

pieces Of ribbon and string have been
salvaged for another year. Christ
mas cards must also be checked and
catalogued. The man OF the 1am-
tly might, Of course, attend to this,
but the chances are that he is sound
asleep with the rest of the newspaper
over his face, and it is better to leave
him lay" He'll be pleasanter later
on in the day when the children have
become definitely overtired and peev-
ish, and indigestion begins to take
It's toll.
"A FTER the gifts, ribbons and cards
are attended to, there still re-
mains to mother that inevitable in
door sport of the housekeeper, planning
what to do with the leftovers OF the
feast. That is always a subject that
she can depend upon for diversion
after any culinary blowout. And, as
q rule, it is pretty much of misery.
If she doesn't use up all the scraps,
then her conscience hurts, the budget
reproaches her and her husband
"comes to-" about four days later, to
inquire why he hadn't been given any
more of the turkey or the goose, or
what have you. If she does use them
up, then she is probably told sar-
castically that she can never let a
man forget anything, and. In the
name of goodness, when will that
roast pig come to an end?
So, either way, she Is out Of luck.
The only possible solution to the
dilemma is to try and disguise the
cold remains-not only by dishing
them up in a new form, but by add
ing unexpected other foods to them
that will take the suspicious male by
surprise and make him think it is all
quite new and very fancy. 1t is really
amazing what can be done to left
over turkey by adding oysters or
mushrooms or diced hard-boiled egg
or shrimps to it, when it is picked
over and mixed with tasty sauce.

OYSTERS may also be panned and
placed on top of sliced leftover
ham. Roast pork combines beautifully
with q little veal, chopped celery,
hard-boiled egg and green pepper to
make a delicious Sunday night salad,
with mayonnaise and crisp lettuce
leaves.
Another good disguise for roast pork
Is to mince the meat fine, adding
few buttered crumbs, and place in
baking dish, topped with mashed po-
tatoes. and bake, like a shepherds
pie made with beef or lamb. The
meat may also be mixed with rice and
baked in green pepper cases.
Ham is really the easiest of all the
Ieft-overs to transform into something

TINE power OF suggestion is one
Of the greatest forces in the
world. and nowhere else does
1t do its great and perfect work
as it does in the family circle. Most
Of us live up to our blue china and
are the kind of husbands and wives
and children that our mates and our
parents expected us to be. If they
think well OF Us, we instinctively try
to justify their good opinion. If they
are always disparaging us, we sink
down to the level Of their criticism.
All Of us know this, and it Is the
crowning proof of the incredible stu
pidity with which we face our do
mestic problems that We oftener use
this great power to defeat our ends
than we do to gain them. Yet it
would do the one as we'll as the other
If we had intelligence enough to use
it rightly.
Husbands and wives, for instance,
are always complaining of each others
faults and shortcomings and throw
ing each others defects in their teeth.
The wife reproaches the husband for
taking her for granted. For being
tightwad. For being dull and un-
interesting companion. And the more
she holds up before him the por-
trait of the kind Of q husband she
wishes she hadn't married, the more
he settles down into its likeness.
RUT If she strikes upon the cymbals
and sings a song about how GAL
LIANT he Is, and what q perfect lover
and how interesting and fascinating
he Is as q companion. and particularly
if she parades his generosity. he does
treat her like lady love instead Of
a piece Of household machinery, and
go out Of his way to be entertaining
at home, and delights in bestowing
fine raiment upon her. It Is an axiom
that q man is never down-and-out
as long as his wife believes In him.
1t is when she tells him that he is
failure that he throws up his hands
and quits.
Women try even harder to live up
to their husbands ideals of them. As
long as q man will tell his wife that
she Is beautiful she will break her neck
to look like . living picture. She will
starve herself to keep thin. She will
doll herself up and keep her hair
waved and her hands in nice hold
able condition. It Is only the women
whose husbands never notice how
they look who degenerate into slovens,
who wear dirty kimonos and come to
breakfast with curl papers and cold
cream to complete their makeup.
Let q husband boast of his wife's
cooking and her thrift and she will
fry herself to a cinder on the kitchen
range and pinch every nickel trying
to live up to his pattern Of perfect
wife. But let him be always finding
fault with the meals and grumbling
at the bills and she will say, "Oh,
what's the usel" and slack down and
feed him food that would kill an
ostrich and throw half Of his salary
In the garbage can.

the natural oils and life-giving prop
critics of the body.
Strange to say, the easiest method
OF caring for your furs is to follow
the example Of the animals them
selves, that is, to shake them often
and keep them clean. You know how
a dog shakes himself when he comes
in from swim or when he gets up
from a nap. That is the first sug-
gesticn to keep in mind. Every time
you take off your coat give it Wig
orous shake and in doing SO if you
will hold it so that it gets shaken in
the general direction that the fur
naturally flows. so much the better.
This Sits out all the loose dust and
city grit and keeps the fur clean and
fluffy. 1t is especially important with
long-haired furs.
IF YOU have gotten your fur gar
ment wet, Of course, you will shake
it Immediately when you come in and
1t is wise to let it dry gradually. Do
not place your coat over a hot radia-
tor to dry it out in a hurry, as you
may ruin it by so doing. Intense
heat of any kind will make the pelt
brittle and dry and might even cause
whole sections Of fur to fall out, pro-
ducing q very disastrous and costly
result.
1t is best to let your damp furs re-
main in room Of even temperature
with q good circulation of air, and
then when they have taken their own
good time to dry out, give them an
other shake.
About hanging your furs up in the
closet. II you can possibly manage
it. give them plenty of room where
other coats and dresses cannot press
against them. Furs are aristocratiC
and wish to stand alone. When they
are pressed into a small space the
surface is crushed and it requires
some little time in the open air to
bring them back to normal again
Furthermore, continued squeezing ol
this kind will injure the fur perma-
nently. 1t is hardly necessary to sug-
gest that you never throw your coat
in a rumpled state on a chair anc
leave it for any length Of time. Furs
object most strenuously to such un.
kindness!
Friction wears down furs as vel
as any other surface. Even the fric

There's just three waist pieces and

And once you've done the skirt, the

q flower at your throat for trimming,
