Gertrude Fraser was sealing the

a timid ring nt the front door. Through
the glass panel she caught a glimpse
of a dainty little woman In a cool white
toile gown. She opened the door and

T h a t Would S«em t« Be the Verdict
'
of Hum anity «n the Great
Question of Pies.
There «till are fairies In Ireland, de-
elaree the Ulster Folklore, which ex
plains by saying: To many, perhaps,
thia statement will be really news. O f
course, anyone who has never taken
any Interest In the matter at nil knows
that In the days gone by there were
plenty of them from one end of the
green Isle to the other—are not their
old haunpt, the thorn bushes, their
raths, forts, coves ftnd souterralnes
»till to be found In every corner o f
Ireland Just as they have existed
since time out of mind?
But It has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago,
In one fashion or another, bad for- k
saken or been driven from their se
cret places, the last heglrn being
placed at as modern a period as the
middle of the nineteenth century— the
Bight of the Mg wind, In fart when
th.ey„were all supposed to have been
blown Into the »ea with (be exception
of a few that lumled In Scotland.
The error of that belief, however,
has been scientifically ascertained In a
series of Investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, F. It. A. I.,
for a decade or so.
“The belief Is general," Miss An
drew's. says, "that these little people
were at one tim e' very numerous
throughout the country, but have now
disappeared from many of their for
mer haunts. At Bnllynahlnch I was
told they had been blown away 50
years ago by n great storm, ami Jh«'
caretaker nt Klllevy said they bad
gone to Scotland. They are, however,
supposed still to Inhabit the more re
mote parts of the country, and the old
people have many stories of fairy vis
itors and of wiint happened in their
own youth and In the time of. their
fathers and grandfathers."
«
They were talking ah»ut pies and
discussing which was the best, and.
what we gathered from the clu'erful
controversy, all were the lw*st.
The person who stood up for the
good old apple pie was Just as eloquent
In his references to the peach or pump
kin pje. In fact, each person would
hurry through the praise of one kind
of pie In order to champion another,
which couvlnced us thut of all the
varieties of food In this world the pie
Is the -bLesSedest.
Sometimes you will find a man who
doesn’t eat pie, but watch bltn. Fib Is
a remedy for many distempers. We
one time cured a feroelpus sick head
ache with a quarter of mince pie, and
that, too, on the advice of a physician.
One of the party never heard of a
mulberry pie, and what a barren ttfew
she must have led. We are through
with the cherry pie era and with what
Joy It has filled the world! We c'-me
to the herr.v era, and first of all there
Is the huckleberry pie, which berry
has rescued from sunshine and soil all'
th e /ra c e of the earth. If a man does
not like a huckleberry pie, It Is be
cause the pie or himself has not been
well made. The black raspberry pie
stnnds away up on the snowy peaks of
perfection und fbr picnic purposes It Is
-unparalleled. When we eat raspberry
pie In the Woods we feel that the
Dryads are feeding us front their lily

There are other glorious pies, of
course, but we must have room to say
that the glory of s pie Is In the gWace
and charm of the cook. The pastry
depends upon her temper, and the pas
try Is three-fourths of a pie. If we
were going to get, married again, we
would arrange a pastry-making con

A SPRAINED
By BLANCHE D. STICKNEY.
’ Eleanor Hanson was Joyfully look- .
ing forward to patting aside school
duties for two months of "do-a»-yoo-
IIke” at one of New England*» beaches.
Before going, she was to chaperon
during the last week of June a group
of girls from her "math” class at a
camp at Pride’s Brook. At nine o'clock
on the Saturday morning after school
closed, the merry group wa» at the
»tut Ion, each laden with a suitcase and
a box of home-made goodies. She re
ceived the exhortations of anxious
mothers to be watchful that Mary
