A girl who nm..

She talks to the many tourists along her route and find out what they like to cook and then writes and tells us all about it wiiilo film is on her way. Front" "som-where in Missouri ' fho writes about another way of cooking fish for the fish dinner already given. Some folks who had a camp along a river invited her to stay to dinner with them. They had just caught some trout and fish

was to be the main part of the meal. First they cleaned the fish thoroughly. Then they dug up some clay nearby and covered the fish all over with a coating of this clay. They had carefully built a good fire and waited until they had a lot of glowing coals. In these coal

they placed the fish and there they

left them until the clay wa3 baked hard. Then out of the fire they took the clay covered fish and removed the clay. The fish were seasoned with salt and pepper and melted butter. With them they Nerved potatoes baked in the coals around the edges of the campfire. Alwen Hays she never ate such delicious fish. After supper the campers started getting breakfast. This may sound like funny time to get breakfast.

but they were making cornmeal mush so they would have it ready to fry and serve with maple syrup, first thing in the morning. For the four of them, they ttscfl ono rounded tablespoonful of salt, one quart of yellow cornmeal, and four quarts of water. They put the water in a potover the fire and waited until it was boiling hard. They mixed the meal with enough cold, water to make a thick batter,

but not enough to make it lumpy.'

Then spoonfuls of meal were dropped into the boiling water gradually, so the water would not stop boiling. When all the meal was in, it was stirred steadily for ten minutes. A cover was then put on the pot

and it was hung high above the

hour. And while it was they rial around the fire

After the mush was cooked, it was put in a pan, packed in tightly, so it would get perfectly cold and firm. by morning it would be all ready to he sliced and fried in hot grease till golden brown.

too much time fixing breakfast.

OF FAMOUS WOMEN Queen Victoria Little Princess Victoria loved to ride with her nurse through the

streets of London and to look at the beautiful dolls in the shopkeepers' windows. One day she saw an unusually pretty doll. She wanted it so badly, but she had spent all of her alowance, and knew it would do no good to tease for more money. She must have that doll, though.

So into the shop she went and smiled so sweetly at the shopkeeper that he promised to keep it for her until she could save enough pennies to buy it. When Victoria grew up and became Queen of Knglattd she loved her subjects even more than she had loved hr dolls whn sh was a

little girl. Her people loved her, toi. She had a long and happy reign.
