Motlter, ber sflh. Bob. the provider of the family; Daisy, the successful secretary;. and Pi«ak and Dot, high school girls, were sitting up to watch the old year out. And the girls and Bob were whllhlfc away the time by teasing Mother, who was such a darting to tease; her cheeks always got so pink and her* blue eye* so bright. And now was no exception. She was tremulous wljh self-consciousness and awe of her grownup children who were, she thought, ao much cleverer than alui bad"ever dreamed of being, “Well, 1 have made a resolution just the same.” she said, hesitatingly now. “Only It’s not so important and fart»nichlng as nil yours. It’ll be just :is hkrd to keep, however, even though It doN&seem so small.” “Tell us, Mother. When a saint turns over a leaf it must be a backward leaf, mustn’t it?

It’s always been something like a ein on my conscience that I’ve grudged; yes, for years and. years, grudged early rising and poking down Into the kitchen to start the Are and the breakfast.

ing in a book that all that Is wasted emotion. I’ve only to say Over and over to myself as I drop to sleep at night—TH like getting breakfast tomorrow, I’ll like getting breakfast tomorrow’ —and it will cvme true. Get- ' ting up will come lots easier, and after a few mornings more I will, actually Mke it." Bob laughed, for the most adoring of sons may have his blind spot. But Daisy and Pink and Dot were girls, and they did not laugh. They blushed while their startledt eyes sought one another’s. But not until the Grandfather’s clock in the hall had runs twelve silver bells and Mother had gone to bed did speech follow that first confusion of their glances. “Just to think ! Poor Mumsle! And I never gave It a thought before In my life, simply took for granted she’d get the breakfast. ’Cause she always did when we w-ere kiddles, I suppose.” That was Daisy. Pink cried, “That’s no reason why she should now. Three great tasks lise us!" Dot echoed, “Yes, please tell me why she should get up at six-thirty every morning and go poking down into that cold kitchen to start the fire while we three great girls snuggle deeper into our warm beds and doze again!” Bo the three big girls cried out against themselves and added a P. S. to their former resolutions." And while they talked excitedly with lowered voices, Mother Just over their heads in her bedroom was lying back on her pillows, her eyes shut, whispering to herself over and over—"l shall like getting breakfast tomorrow, I shall like getting breakfast tomorrow." And very soon Mother fell asleep u dream that It was already morning and she was getting up. That night in her dreams she cooked breakfast forty times. For she was forever waking up and theh dropping off again into the same dream. Because Mother had such a restless night of it with her dreams of break-fast-getting, and because, too, she had stayed up until past midnight the night before, New Year’s dawn did not wake her. When she finally did open her eyes the sunlight on her counterpane told her as plain as a clock that it was eight o’clock and that Bob amt the girls must have overslept, too. Twas a mercy Was a holiday! With a worried exclamation Mother sat up. But at that minute the door opened and theffi) were her three daughters facing Mie sunlight and crying again: "Happy New- Year. Moth-er-oura!” And Pink was carrying a tray, of all things—a *-ay spread with a dainty napkin and daintily set with breakfast for one! “Whatever?” gasped Mother, hardly believing her eyes. But her girls' smiles were rather tremulous. Dot, who was the youngest and most impulsive. reached the bed first “We’re going always to bring you your breakfast." she cried. “Every day of this New Year and forever after, too. We’re not going to lie abed like laxy oxen anymore while our Mother scarries about alone down- Ln the kitchen I* “But girls! Why girls! I never meant it that way. Oh. what made me ever tell you!

Scotiys B 5 New¥ar3 Present E. - (•rynfH ,-UJ *

OWN in a snow-covered valley, surrounded on all sides by huge mountains towering to the skies, nestled a little log house. The snow had drifted in the valley, un-

■

til only a piece of the roof was visible here, a part of the chimney there, and a corner of the porch in another place. A pathway had been shoveled from the door about twenty-five feet* from the house through from eight to ten feet of snow, varying Is places. The Inside of this log house consisted of [ two rooms, a huge fireplace, a man and j his collie dog, plus a few pieces of fur- ! nlture. The dog looked to be a cross between a St. Bernard and a collie. Just at present his big bnbwn eyes were pinned upon his master, who was fixing his supper. His master, a t’-.li, , broad-shouldered man, a typical woodsman, smiled down at the dog and said: “Scotty, I’ll bet that If you are as hungry as J w’as, after shoveling all that snow, this plate will be cleaned up %nd you will beg for more.” The necessary duties disposed of after the meal, the big woodsman made himself -comfortable in front of the . fireplace and filled his pipe. Scotty, right beside him, was as close to the fire as he dared get without being singed. Frank Manchettfe, for that was the Canadian woodsman’s name, puffed on his pipe with vigor, sending little curls into the air until he and Scotty were enveloped In a cloud of smoke. “That was quite some blizzard we had .for Christmas, Scotty! Here it is New Year’s eve, and today was the first chance we had to dig our way out of this house. I would hate to start the New Year by being snowed in." Scotty showed his approval by rubbing his head against bis master’s hand. “There was a gal I saw in town last time, though, and she smiled at me, too, Scotty—can you imagine a pretty girl like her. an’ she smiling at mo? Well. I could have pictured her a Midp’ here beside us, she a-saying, ‘Now, Frank, you and Scotty go and sit down afore the fireplace while I do the work. It won’t take a minute.’ But, Scotty, I tell you what we would fool her an’ Scotty Looked Up With a Wise Expression. say, ’No, sir, little gal, we’re just going to help.” Here Frank was Interrupted in bis wanderings by Scotty, who started to bark, quietly moving toward the door. Frank Mdnchette shut the door after Scotty, fixing the latch so that he could open it hirnself when he returned. Some little while later Manchette was awakened from his reverie by a Slight noise outside. He pulled out his watch. “Huh! Just twelve o’clock." The shack door opened. There stood Scotty with something white clutched firmly between his teeth. “Happy New Year, Scotty!” Scotty put "the white bundle at his master's feet. He licked the hand his master put forth to pick up the parcel, as though to ask that it be received with favor In his sight. “Where did you find this, Scotty?” By this time the package was no longer a , mystery. Frank Manchette held v fn a baby, apparently sleeping peacefully, snug and warm. “Why, Scotty, what do you think two lone bachelors know about taking care of a baby? That surely Is a queer present to be bringing to me." Then to himself: “Some poor soul lost tn the snow and cold. Scotty, you’re a wonder. I’ll tell you what! As soon as we can get through to town we will go for that little gal and start the New Year right You can’t object, either, for your present Is bringing her here. Happy New Year, Scotty,” Frank said, gayly. Then, suddenly remembering his new care: “Sh! the baby." first day of the year Over the hills and by the brook To Grandpa's house we speed.

Taste D a delicate organ, perfectable and worthy of respect like the eye and .he ear. To be wanting in the sense of taste is to be deprived Os an exquisite faculty, of the faculty of discerning the quality of aliments, just as one may be deprived of discerning the qualities of a book or of a work of art; it is to be deprived of an essential sense of a part of human superiority.— Guy de Maupassant." FOR DINNER The main dish is the important one for the dinner menu; the soup, salad

and dessert will be chosen to make a good , combination. Hot Roast Ham Witt) Cider Sauce. —Simmer a ham, after covering with cold water, with the addition of a Half cupful each of carrot and onion eut into pieces, two

sprigs of parsley and four .cloves, until the ham is tender. After the first two hours of cooking add one quart of cider and allow the ham to cool in the liquor. Take off the skin and bake in a hot oven one hour, after sticking a few cloves in the fat For the cider sauce, melt three tablespoonfuis of butter; add four of flour and two cupfuls of the ham liquor.

Arrange in a bowl as near the original shape as possible and sprinkle with one-half cupful of canned plmentoes, cut into strips. Just before serving, pour over a French dressing and serve at once. Any canned fruit, slightly thickened and a little lemon juice, added to give acidity, makes a sauce for a cottage pudding. Celery Sauce (for Poultry).—Cook a pint of tender celery in salted water to cover until tender; drain, saving the liquid.

The term “Stone age” is commonly used to denote the earliest recognized stage in the development of human culture as defined by the materials used by man tor weapons, utensils, etc. The phrase, is somewhat misleading, since it is probable that primitive. man made use of wood and other perishable materials to a far greater extent than of stone, and consequently the stage is defined by the prevailing material of the relies which have survived, not by that of actual implements In common use.
