Fairy Tale for Children
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
Kow Larry had a ringed tall and
be was a monkey from South America.
He bad a spotted nose and epots
over bis eyes.
Snooky, too, was a ringed-tailed
monkey, and also came from South
America, but Billy Francis and Edith
Francis came from Africa.
"Why," asked Snooky of Larry, "did
you say a little while ago that you
were a perfect gentleman?
"Some people might not like that."
"There are some people," said Larry,
"who -don't like anything or anyone
but themselves."
"Oh well," said Edith Francis, "you
mustn't mind if everyone doesn't like
you, Larry. You're so sensitive!
You're so easily hurt
"That is your feelings are you cer
tainly can fall about and not hurt
yourselt
"That tail of yours Is a great help. '
"Ah no," said Snooky, "think of It
as you will, there are people who don't
like us, and do you know why?"

JELLY ROLL
(Prepared by the United State Department
of Agriculture.)
Rapid work Is one of the secrets
of making a successful Jelly roll. Any
(preferred recipe for sponge cake may
ibe used. It should be baked In a thin
sheet The cake must be handled
while warm, Just out of the pan, or
it will break when you try to roll It

hind their ears and waited to hear
what Snooky bad to say.
"It's because," he continued, "they
say we're much too much like them.
We're too human, so very human, we
are."
All the .monkeys laughed and swung
back and forth as If they'd heard the
best Joke of their lives.
"Well, then," said Larry, "I don't
see at all why you corrected me be-
"It's Good Behavior."
cause I said I was. a perfect gentle
man." "My dear Larry," said Snooky, "you
can't be a gentleman and a monkey,
too."
"Oh, can't 1 Just," said Larry. "You
watch me."
"It's not a trick being a gentle
man," said Edith Francis.
"It's good behavior, that's what it
is," said Larry.
"Now the keeper says so and he
knows. He knows all about anlmnls
and he loves us and looks after us
und he said I was a perfect gentle
man, so I know 1 am."
"All right, Larry," said Snooky, "if
you Insist upon It then you must be
right"
For Snooky thought if the keeper
had said so Larry certainly must be
a perfect gentleman.
"Just behave yourself and always
be good and gentle and1 playful and
you're a perfect gentleman," said
Larry.
"Ah, there's all the difference In the
world between being a gentleman and
a perfect one. .
"A gentleman is Just a gentleman
one who has that name, but a perfect
gentleman is one who deserves that
name!" .
Just then the keeper came along.
"It makes me very angry," be told
a little girl, "to hear people say that
monkeys aren't clean. They won't
even allow a scrap of dust upon them
selves.
"When people say they're dirty they
don't know monkeys. It's quite, quite
x wrong. -
"Just look "at that skin." -He
took Larry out of his cage and
Larry nestled up in his arms as the
keeper showed the little girl how
clean and nice Larry was, and then
he said:
"This monkey Is a perfect gentle
man." How happy Larry was and then all
the monkeys were given bananas and
Larry showed all the tricks he could
do, at the end knocking off the keep
er's hat which he did when the keep
er said :
"Now let's play our favorite trick."

couraged by the county home demon
stration agents, Mrs: DeVoe of Wor

tion sink and washtub so that it was
possible to take advantage of the
good light from two high windows.
An extension of the drainboard, which
was also the cover of the washtub,
made extra counter surface and also
provided a convenient place for stor
ing the washing machine beneath.
Closets for cleaning supplies and
cooking utensils were built to fit the
spaces below the sink and tub, which
were placed at the best working
height for Mrs. DeVoe. Under the
counter at the right of the sink draw

table. Sprinkle it with powdered
sugar. Turn tbe cake- out n this,
upside down, and trim off the crusty
edges on the sides. Spread quickly
with Jelly or preserves, and begin
rolling at the side nearest you. When
the cake Is roiled up, roll the paper
around it and tie it in place so the
jelly roll will keep Its shape.

Novelty Weaves for Girls
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY
It's the fabric which makes the
schoolgirl's coat this season! Mean
ing that Interest centers about the
novelty woolens of which Junior mod
els are fashioned rather .. than the
manner of their styling. A coat may
have the simplest sort of treatment
with a straightline silhouette, be ab
solutely void of trimming and yet if
it be made of some one or other of
the modern intriguing worsteds which
are so handsomely colorful and le
signful It carries assurance of last
minute modishness. .
Importance is especially attached to
swagger coatings for schoolgirl sports
coats. It Is only necessary to utter
the magic word "tweed" In the pres
ence of a salesperson In the Junior
coat section, to have brought forth an
array of arresting models, which glory
in the novelty of the weaves em
ployed In their making.
One of their newest themes is plain
tweed with an Intricate worked de
sign which Is used for the scarf, cuffs,
pockets and collar, the body of the
coat being unpatterned.
Tweeds with diagonal effects are
among the newest. So are loose fan
cy basket weaves. Clecks also are
much In evidence. Modernistic de
signs make direct appeal to those
seeking effects which are strikingly
different. Among latest cloakingsr are
those which ase new among the new
estrayon and wool weaves. The
rayon injects a glistening .silky pat
terning which, is out of th ordinary
and certainly very attractive.
The models In this picture are typ
ical of the vogue which stresses coats
of novelty cloth which are simply
styled. The - one to the left has a
wavy design done in beige and ma
roon. The pockets are featured with

CARVING LAMBI
I SHOULDER I
(Prepared by the United States Department
ot Agriculture.)
Shoulder of lainb has long been con
sidered a choice cut by discerning pal
ates. The meat Is exceptionally ten
der and delicate In flavor, but the
shoulder blade running through the
center mokes It Impossible to carve
Into attractive slices. Skillful butch
ers and clever cooks have now found
a way around this difficulty, soys the
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The shoulder blade and leg bone can
easily be removed, leaving on excel
lent pocket for savory stuffing. The
stuffed shoulder may then be rolled up
or left flut like a pillow. In either
case it Is sewed together around the
edges and roasted in an open pan. The
tasty stuffing helps to conserve the
Juices of the meat and to add season
ing. Carving difficulties are thus over
come. The boned stuffed shoulder can
be carved straight through Into shape
ly slices of Just the right blend of
meat and stuffing.
Lamb leg and saddle may also be
boned, stuffed, and roasted In this
same way to make carving easier.
For slicing cold these stuffed cuts are
delicious, especially if the stuffing has
been seasoned with fresh mint or wa
tercress. The United States Depart

! SEWING LONG RUN
IN SILK HOSE !

No small accident causes one's heart
to sink faster than a run In new silk
stockings. "
Sewing a long run on the sewing
machine often makes It possible for
the stocking to be worn again. Large
stores are now able to repair many
types of "runs" perfectly but If the
run happens to develop Into a sldo
tear It cannot be mended perfectly.
A safe precaution Is to buy two pulrs
exactly the same shade. This Is real
economy for there will be two out of
four which will be wearable after tile
other two have been east aside.
1 Fried Chicken Is Favorite
Select yotiiig, plump chicken, wash,
draw, disjoint, and cut into pieces
suitable for serving. Wipe the pleci-s
of chicken dry, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, and rub well with flour.
In a heavy skillet, boat a generous
quantity of well-flavored fat to Just

in the larger and thicker pieces of
chicken so that each piece will be
surrounded by the Jiot fat Partly
cover and watch closely to prevent
scorching. Turn the chicken-as soon
us it becomes golden brown. Reduce
the heat, and cook until tender, re
move, and drain on brown paper to
absorb the excess fat
Preparing Ham Loaf
Mix together one pound if raw
ground ham, one pound of raw ground
veal, two eggs, one cupful of cracker
crumbs, one and one-half cupfuls of

It takes all kinds of golf players to
make a world in the good old summer

that can afford to go South. The 1st
named has got a big advantage In
many ways. For inst they don't half
to spend from 1 night to a wk. in one
of them new fangle Pullmans witch
some people jokeingly calls a sleeping
car. I could go on and name a whole
lot of other advantages witch a
marred man has got if they was any.
On the other hand the bachelors
goes South In the winter and can golC
all the yr. around and are right on
their game when the season opens up
north whereas the men with baggage
