THE FOOLISH QUARREL
R EE T doesn't pay. It never does.
And yet some people never seem
to learn this. Just take the case of
Happy Jack Squlr.-el and his cousin.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel. In the
Green Forest were ever so many hick
ory trees, and there were more nuts
than Happy Jack and Chatterer could
eat In a lifetime. But both were so
greedy that here they were quarrel
ing over the nuts which the Merry
Little Breezes had shaken down from
the top of a tall chestnut tree.
Happy Jack claimed all those
brown nuts were his because he had
happened to be right under that par
ticular tree when the Merry Little
Breezes shook them down. Chatterer
had been near enough to hear them
as they rattled down and had come
running over to get a share. At once
Happy Jack had tried to drive him
away. Chatterer had refused to go.
In fact, at the sight of all those nuts
on the ground Chatterer had at once
decided that he would have all of
them. You see he was quite as greedy
as Happy Jack. Those brown nuts
didn't really belong to either of them,
and wouldn't until they had been
picked up and hidden away. But Hap
py Jack and Chatterer didn't stop to
think of this. Each was so greedy
that he wasn’t willing to let the other
have a single one.
“T h ie f!” shouted Happy Jack.
"Robber!” cried Chatterer.
“No such thing! They're all mine
because 1 found them nrst,” sput
tered Happy Jack.
"Pig. pig. pig!” shouted Chatterer,
thrusting out his tongue at Happy
Jack.
Do you wonder that the Merry Lit
tle Breezes, who had thought to help
Happy Jack and Chatterer, looked
down in dismay and stopped shaking
down the brown nuts? Do you won
der that Sammy Jay. hearing those
sharp angry voices, came stealing si
lently up to see what such a dreadful
quarrel was about? You can depend
on It that Sammy will be somewhere
about when anything like that is go
ing on.

were content to scold and call each
other bad names. Then as they grew
angrier and angrier they began to
fight, each trying to drive the other
away. Happy Jack, as you know. Is
a great deal bigger than Chatterer,
but Chatterer is quicker and more
nimble, and his teeth are quite as
sharp as Happy Jack's. So it wasn't
as uneven a fight as you might think
They forgot the brown nuts lying
there among the leaves on the ground

THE GREATEST

What ls the greatest thing we find?
The wise may say the learned mind.
The fool his passions and delights—
Yet life some sudden question writes
Fools cannot answer, nor wise
Do more thpn wonder and surmise.
What ls the greatest thing? Not these
Poor things that either pain or please
To love, to feeL to smile, to grieve.
Not much to know hut much believe—
For, books or pleasure, wealth or
strife.
The greatest thing in life Is life.
Then as They Grew Angrier and An
grier, They Began to Fight.
They forgot everything but their an
ger. They chased each other around
the trees and up in the trees, all the
time losing their tempers more and
more.
Now their little cousin. Striped
Chipmunk, wasn't far away, and of
course he heard that dreadful quar
rel. He pricked up his ears. Then he
stole softly over to see what it was
all about Happy Jack and Chatterer
didn't see him. They didn't see any
thing or anybody but each other.
Striped Chipmunk watched them for
a few minutes. Then he spied the
brown nuts which the Merry Little
Breezes had shaken down. His bright
eyes sparkled. He chuckled.
“1 suspect.” said he. “that these are
what they are quarreling about How
silly. How very foolish. These nuts
belong to anyone who can get them.
They are as much mine as theirs.”
Without wasting another minute
Striped Chipmunk stuffed the pockets
In his cheeks with those brown nuts
until he couldn't get another one In.
Then away he scurried. Pretty soon
he was back again. He paid no at
tention to his quarreling cousins, hut
stuffed his pockets again and was off
to his secret storehouse.
Back and forth he scurried, work
ing with might and main. He knew
that once Happy Jack and Chatterer
stopped quarreling and discovered
him they would drive him away, and
he would have to go because he was
too little to fight
Sammy Jay watched him and
chuckled The Merry Little Breezes
saw him and they chuckled. But his
two big cousins were still fighting and
saw only each other. At last Happy
Jack and Chatterer had to stop for
breath. They were too tired to run
and fight any longer. But still each
was determined that
the
other
shouldn't have those brown nuts.
Happy Jack looked down to gloat over
the treasure he had been fighting for.
Then he gave a little gasp. Not a
single brown nut was to he seen.
Chatterer did the same thing. For a
few minutes both forgot their quarrel
and raced down to pull over the
leaves in search of those nuts. Not
one was to be found. Their foolish
quarrel had been for nothing. Just
nothing at all.

Sunday Evening Supper
O ONE enjoys balancing a plate
on an unsteady knee while help
N
Ing one's self to a dish and holding a
cupful of hot liquid In the other hand
The host and hostess who think of the
comfort of their guests will provide
ample space for the placing of a plate
anl cup. The enjoyment ot good food
can be entirely «[»oiled by the too in
formal and careless manner of serving
A convenient spot should be provided
for each guest and a minimum amount
of equipment, for there are few sleight
of-hand performers who care to Juggle
a plate and cupful of hot coffee.
To most of us there is a real sense
of relaxation and enjoyment In meet
Ing around the fire a few congenial
friends, or If In summer weather a
[torch or garden Is equally delightful.
Try to serve such food as will be eas
ily handled without the discomfort of
dripping dishes. The meat if hot should
be served In such a manner aa to be
eaten easily, the salad roui|>act enough
to stny In shape. Accessories like
pickles, olives or celery should be ar
ranged on one plate. Il cheese can
not be dispensed with pul I* into the
stalks of tender celery, where It may
be nicely handled.
If hot rolls are served, butter them
—for hutter and knives make another
burden. For dessert Ices. »[Hinge cake,
or chilled fruit and cakes ol different
kinds will be enjoyed
The tea cart Is one of the helpful
aids In serving such a supper. Have
the plates, cups, the hot dish, what
ever Is served In casserole, hot toast
ready to serve with the hot meat dish
and the tea or coffee equipment as
well as the silver to be used, all on
the top shelf. If the tea cart has
leaves so much the better for serving.
On the lower shelf place the dessert
plates and serving dish or sherbet
cups.
With a small table placed for the
serving of each two or three guests
everybody will be comfortable.
As the Sunday dinner has been a
hearty one. the su[>|«er should be food
tasi.v but not too heavy.
