Advised to Read the Papers The fifth commandment favored by the co-eds str § the that the day of the 'feather-brained, light-weight type is over. "Read the papers," it advises." Know your current events, politics and athletics. It is well to converse on serious topics as well as light ones. Nor does it promise an evening of hearty digestion to be aware of all the crude details of the day's headline Conversation, of itself, requires & in games and the amusements Unless two ought to be of particular interest to boys--and serve as a warning to them. Kissing, in the minds of the young women, is not so cheapening, appar ently; as necking. For the eighth rule of popularity reads that "there is no harm in kissing a boy friend of whom you are particularly fond." But the latitude {s prefaced by the warning "not to kiss. promiscuously." We understand from the distinction that the former carries with it more possibility of 'degrading familiarity.

Lance had paused, and when he walked slowly on, it was with a feel ing of exultation, Here was his chance--and what a chance! It seemed to him that he was going to speak to someone who astraightway would be a friend, an old man whose hands were stretched out to these flut- tering birds. How unexpected and how suggestive! But would the birds be shy of a stranger? Again he paused, standing a little way oft, "Shall I frighten them?" Old Pybus looked up and around. "You, sir? They are only shy of children." Lance drew nearer. "Wonder if they'll come to me?" "Hold out your hands, sir." "But there's nothing in: them. Wouldn't that be swindling?" Old Pybus gave him a quick atten- tive look. "There's a piece of bread in my coat pocket. Right hand side. You can have it." "That's very good of you" said Lance with eyes that saw John Py- bus as his sons Had. never seen him, He felt for the bread in his grand- father's pocket and, standing beside of the cloud of birds."

Worth Knowing When making toast, slightly heat one sidesof the bread and then the other, leaving all brownign to the last. This allows the moisture to svaporate.| A tablespoonful of water with the chill off will make a cake light, if added to the mixture after pouring in the eggs. .

I replied, "No, we never saw it." He sald, "I dropped him on the lawn Sat- urday evening." "Then you didn't play fair with me," I replied, "You should have went away. That afternoon a deliv. ery boy asked me, "Did you give a cat to John O'Brien?" "Yes" I maid, "isn't he alright?" "Oh," replied the hoy, "he goes around collecting cats, tortures them and sells the hides" Shortly after this my sister drove me up the hill to call on the O"Briens. The mother very sweetly told me that the cat had scratched Mr. O'Briem and got away. So there was no help there. I interviewed sevéral neigh bors but none had seen a yellow cat. Finally I called the Chief of Police, "Do you know: a boy named Johs O'Brien?" I inquired. "Indeed I do," he answered.

"Why, Miss Clare, they are bring- ing your cat back" cried a neigh. bor's child. I took the dirty little cowering creature int omy arms, so different from the confident, radiant creature that went away, and put ft dowa on the grass and sald, "Rum up to the house, Pussy." Pussy went a few paces, then sat down like a dog on his haunches and shrieked the tale of his wrongs while under the O'Briea roof. We stood petrified, I couldn't stand It, and sald, "Here, Pussy, come," and I started to run to the house. He scampered after me and into the shed. "Charlotte," T called to the mad, "go and. gee it that is our cat." "Oh, yes," sald Charlot'e, "It's our cat" We fed him, but he was ex- tremely nervous. He kept cn talking fn that queer screeching voice. All thecats stbod around to Msten to him. At last I persuaded him to go into am empty market basket behind the kitchen stove. A quarter of an hour afterward I came back to find Yellow Pussy in the centre, with Blackie on one aide, Gray Pussy on the other side, and a tiny black kitten lying on top of him, He had come back to his own people--Humane Pleader, Ceylon and England Compared No one who has resided fn ft, I think, can but hold in affectionate re- membrance its atmosphere of placid contentment and gracious calm, and especially to us, whose family his- tory has for more than a hundred years been bound up with the place, of water weighs ten p Salt should not be 'used In sweeping come wet In damp weather and the carpet will rot.
