“ Hurrah," shouted the little fairies.

"That’s good,” said the little fairies.
“The elves are such dears.”

“ And we’ll ask W itty Witch.”
“ Let me ask her," shouted Princess

And the Fairly Queen consented.
"W e ’ll have to ask the guomes and

"Indeed It will be,” said the Fairy
Queen. ” 1 waDt to have this party to­

“Then, when you come back, I ’ll let

“ One, two, three, go I”
A t that all the little fairies started
off.
They carried their invitations on
bits of birch bark, and they were writ­
ten In letters made out o f soft moss.
They looked very lovely and the
fairies were proud of taking such In­
vitations.
The Fnlry Queen had made them all
herself, and there were lots and lots
of them, as you can Imagine.
Every single guest had to have a
separate Invitation, and the Fairy
Queen hud spent a lot of time making
them, as you can realize.
This Is what the Invitations said:
“ The Fairy Queen and the little
fairies invite you to a gingerbread and
Ice cream party tomorrow afternoon.
Come at three o’clock, and most im­
portant of all—be hungry.”
The guests were all on time the next
afternoon.
But when they arrived not a fairy
was to be seen. That was the first
surprise.
And then the fairies arrived, riding
In a splendid chariot drawn by pranc­
ing ponies.
The capes of the fairies were made
of gingerbread, and as they stepped
down from the chariot they told the
guests to begin eating of their capes,
and then they handed them moss bas­
kets In which were Ice cream.
Oh, It was a glorious supper party,
and a great surprise to everyone.

Signs o f spring include home-grown
rhubarb'In almost every locality. The
housewife brightens over the chance
to give fier family a fruit flavor that
has been missing from the menu for
many months. The very first rhubarb
that comes Into the markets may well
he combined with that stand-by of the

good when baked with a touch of
acidity such ns rhubarb or lemon Juice

In vault., fair the stage
is “ all set” for a glorious
millinery season, full of
frills and all things lovely
and prettily feminine—
such as has not been the
privilege o f women to en­
joy for years and years.
The hats are stunning,
they nre bewitching, they
are flattering, they are
“ different.” The majority
o f them are o f beguiling
and exotic straws anu— tney are worn
for the most part set back on the
head so as to show the hair!
The fact that crowns are so very
shallow this season Is a very signifi­
cant one. They are made that way
on purpose, for the new movement, as
said before, Is to wear the hat back
on the head, so as to lift the brim
from the brow.

These trousers were designed by the

Just learning to dress himself. Par­
ticular care should be given to the
choice of a good, simple, straight-leg

special features recommended by the
clothing specialists o f the bureau. It

sufficient amount. She can see to II
that these foods are Included In her

Vltumlne A Is essential for growth,
well-being at all ages, and successful
reproduction. A deficiency of this vt
tnndne leads to the weakening o f Un-
body tissues, and Increased suscepll

Ing In vltamlne A, they develop lnfec
tlons of the eye and other parts of the
body. It Is thought that similar In
flammntory and Infective processes In
the human body occur when there Is
a deficiency of vltamlne A.
Fortunately the body has the power
of storing tills vltamlne to a consider
able extent for future needs. An
abundant supply o f It In early life un
doubtedly safeguards the body against
later Infection as well as provides for
present requirements. This does not
mean, however, that the need for vl
tamlne A Is confined to the young.
Nursing mothers, especially, should
have food containing vltamlne A In
abundance.
Milk and dairy products, eggs, liver,
and leafy vegetables are among the
richest sources o f vitninine A. Green
or yellow vegetables are much rlchei
In It thnn the corresponding white
varieties. Thus green lettuce Is much
richer thnn white, green asparagus
than bleached, and yellow than white
corn. The bureau of home economics
gives these foods ns good sources of
vltamlne A : Avocados, bananas, string
beans, butter, carrots, cheese, cod liv­
er oil, dried cowpeas, cream, dandelion
and other greens, eggs, lentils, lettuce,
liver, milk, pens, sweet potatoes, spin
ach, squash, tomatoes.

to accomplish much sewing In odd
moments Is alwn.vs to have some
“ pick-up work” on hand. By planning
ahead and keeping something cut out
to work on at short notice, hours
otherwise unfilled may be used to
good purpose.
For several reasons, then. It Is a
wise plan to check over the' fnmllj
clothing early In the spring. The hu
reau of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture sug
gests that this forecast of clothing
requirements be Immediately Incor

A trial balance Is the testing of
a ledger to discover whether the debits
and credits balance by finding wheth­
er the sum of the personnl credits in­
creased by the difference between the
debit and credit sums in the mer
chnndlse and Impersonal accounts
equals the sum of personal debits. The
equality would show that the Items

Trousers to Be Worn With a Blouse
or Sun Suit Top.
Probably very few people nowadays
set aside a definite period for “ spring
sewing,” as in the days of our moth­
ers. Clothes are much simpler, and
sewing Is done between and around
other tasks, as It were. Ready-made
garments, too, are more dependable
thnn formerly, so there Is not the
same need for a fortnight or so of
strenuous dressmaking.
Practically
all homemakers, however, must at
some time between freezing tempera­
tures and the first coatless days, go
over all the family wardrobes, and de­
cide what enn be used another sea­
son, and what must be discarded, re­
modeled, or replaced.
As a result of this Inspection, the
needs of each member o f the house­
hold should be listed. One can then
see at a glance what Is to be pur­
chased ready-made, and what mate­
rials will be needed for home sewing.
While attending bargain sules Is sup­
posed to be a feminine weakness, it

One may purchase so many o f the
semi and tropical fruits canned that
for occasions they are a
great convenience. Figs
are not always to be
found fresh or dried, but
canned they are always
available and very easy
to serve. In many o f the
good markets Is now a
___ small can selling for
ten cents, which makes a
delightful dessert or cake filling. When
more o f the housewives learn the
value of figs, this small can will be­
come more popular. Where the fresh
fig Is obtainable the following confec­
tion will be welcome:
Candied Figs.— Wash figs and let
stand over night In water to cover.
In the morning add to the figs and
wnter a tah'rspoonful or two o f cin­
namon ;andles— enough to color and
sweeten the mixture. Cook together
until te der. Remove from the heat
and cool.
Slit each fig and Insert
three candled cherries. Serve In sher­
bet glasses with a little of the sirup
In which the figs were cooked. Served
with whipped cream. It’s found most
delicious.
Sweet Potato Surprise.—Take two
cupfuls of cooked, rlced sweet pota­
toes; when nearly cold add one benten
egg, salt and pepper to taste; If too
dry add a little cream. Form Into
eight balls with a marshmallow hid­
den in each. Roll In branfiakes and
fry In hot fat. Drain on soft paper
and serve hot.
Banana Souffle.— Take one cupful of
whipping cream, one cupful of thinly
sliced bananas, five eggs, one-half cup­
ful of powdered sugar.
Beat the
cream until stiff and fold In the sliced
bananas, beat the eggs, add sugar anil
fold In the banana mixture; set In a
pan o f hot water and bake In small
dishes or ramekins until a light deli­
cate brown. Serve at once.
Ccleriac Sa'ad.— Take two celery
roots, peel, cover with boiling water to
which has been add(V s. little lemon

People hove become “ vltamlne con­
scious,” as the advertisers would put
IL They want to know whether a
given food “ contains vltamlnes.” What
they do not ulwayg realize Is that
there are several different vltamlnes,
and that each has a different function
In the nutrition of the body. Some
foods are a good source of one vl­
tamlne and some of another, while a
number of foods contribute more than
one. I f the homemaker wants to give
her family a diet containing enough
