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?"

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."

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 ers were built for small kitchen Im- Making Jelly Roll. Before taking the cake from the oven, spread a piece of waxed paper on the table.

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.

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.
