is always pleasing, .
Most of us fight, might and .main, auainst being Just folks.
Most of us wart to bo something hl.Ui and grand and fine,
which Is a'.l right a far as It goej. P.ui a lot of us forget
that the highest, finest, grandest thing we can be Is just folks.
Of course, sometimes it's hard to be just plain, ordinary
folks when we set tune grand new star f lashing forth or hear
of a new one being made, lving just plain, ordinary folks
can't help seeming a pretty dull, stupid sort of job when every
body Is bowing and scraping to those high and mighties. Most
of us yearn mightily to do n little flashing around, and every
last mother's son of us is convinced he has some wonderful
hidden gift the world ought to know about if he Juat could
Hash.
Hut after oil H isn't the bright luminaries that really keep
the world going around. It's just the plain, ord'nary folks
folks that do the hum-drum things faithfully sow, reap. cook,
clean, mend, nurse, love yes. ami hale. I suppose, or at least
hate the things that ought to lie hated injustice, cruelty, op
pression, dishonesty, ami the rest. It's just the folks that keep
on keeping with what they have to do. every day. that make
the universe comfortable and fit to live in.
Ami when tumbles come and things iu wnmi; somehow
it's seldom the high-ups that come to aid ymi, that come run
ning to pick you up ami see what's hurt. At bast they're not
to be counted en. lint usually the plnln, ordinary folks are.
And they don't have to come running because they. re already
there, on hand, all around you, standln;; by in ways you can
let them stand by w'thoui hurting your pride. And they don't
ask if they can help any either. They just do because, being
plain, ordinary forks, they've probably stubbed their own toes,
too.- one time or anotlu r. They've been there themselves and
they know Just hhv it feels. So. also, they ki'ow just what to
do ami how to do It because they remember what it was that
other plain, ordinary folks did for them to heal them quickest.
It's trite but true that at the top of the ladder there is
Iib-nty of room. Hut there wouldn't be room rnmili for all
of us is we could all be up there. And If there were, who'd
be the audience for the star performers to play to.' And
who'd hold the ladder so that some could do that climbing up
to the cop'.' l'lain. ordinary folks are necessary lor star per
formers to rise, imbxd for them even to be.
Of course we all want to be something, do something with
the talents and gifts that we think we huve. And if wo can.
wo all ought to. Hut if. In the end, vi'r mistaken about onr
Bclves. if it's our fate to be just plain ordinary folks after all.
grugging along, it ought not to he so very devastating. For If
the truth wer known, there isn't such difference between
luminaries and mere folks oxeept in the outward seeming.

New Nursery
Devices Reduce
Mothers' Work
The care of tho nursery and a
growing family of children, called
"no lazy woman's job." has been
lightened by various new devices

The constant fear of mothers
that the young infant would fall
out of bed, provision of safe play

are discussed in" this article which
lists various new methods hy
which cares of the young can be
lightened.
"Have you ever tried lo carry on
a eon versa! Ion while wondering
whether or not the baby would fall
off t)ti bed while ho sleepy,' asks
tho writer. "A baby harness made
of soft, washable webbing will do
away with worry because It makes
the infant's slumbers on tiny sur

active exercise well babies take
while drifting into dreamland,
too."

Fruits Always in Season
The frequent use of fruits is no
longer regarded as a luxury. In
stead they are looked upon by
both physician and housewife of
the pre-ent day as necessary items
in the dally menu.
Pried fruits are within the reach
of every one the year round, but
It is especially during the late
winter and en rly spring seasons
when fresh frtirth'nro scare and ex
pensive that, t ho dried fruit comes
into its ouu and holds an Impor
tant place.
Too much strefH cannot be put
upon the i in porta nee of dried
fruit,! as a food. The valuable
mineral salts and organic acids

delicious flavor, rentier them a
great addition to the diets of both
children ami adults.
Hecause oT the largo amount of
natural sugar I hat Is found in
dried frulls lilt l- or no extra
sweetness, need be added In the
cook Ing. I like stewed prunes,

of sugar, bul fpr those who prefer
a sweeter fruit, two or three table
spoonfuls of sumir to a pound of
fruit usually suffices. A few drops
of lemon Juice will sometimes Im
prove the flavor.
