“You have to believe in happiness—
It isn't an outward thing.
The spring never makes the song,
.1 guess,
As much as the song the spring.
Aye, many a heart could find con-
tent
If it saw the joy on the road it
went,
The joy ahead when it had to
grieve.
For the joy is there—but yot
have to believe."
CHOCOLATE DAINTIES
Chocolate -in various fonns has al-
ways been a most popular confection,
dessert, cake or
cake filling. As
nearly everybody
likes chocolate one
may -satisfy the
taste of any as re-
gards the kind of
cake. From loaf to
drop cakes, simple
or rich, they always find a glad wel-
come.
Chocolate Caramels.—Put two and
i>ne-half tablespoonfuls of butter into
saucepan, when melted add two cup-
ils of molasses, one cupful of brown
ugar, and stir until the sugar is dis-
olved and when the boiling point is
reached add three squares of choco-
late grated, stirring constantly until
the chocolate is melted. Boil until a
firm ball is formed when a little is
dropped into cold water. Add one tea-
spoonful of vanilla and turn intp a
buttered pan to cool.
Chocolate Custard Pie.—Line a pie
plate with pastry, flute the rim and
fill with the following: Beat the yolks
of three eggs slightly, add' one-half
cupful of sugar and continue beating,
add one tablespoonful of soft butter,
the same of flour, three-fourths of a
cupful of milk and two squares of
melted chocolate; flavor with vanilla
and bake. Spread with a meringue
made of the egg whites and one-
half cupful of powdered sugar. Re-
turn to the oven and brown.
Chocolate Cup Cakes.—Take one-
half cupful of shortening, add one
cupful of sugar and cream, add one
and one-half cupfuls of flour with
two and one-half teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder finely sifted alternately
with one-half cupful of milk, add two
beaten yolks of eggs, three squares of
melted chocolate, one-half teaspoonful
of salt and one teaspoonful of vanilla,
before the milk and flour is added.
Fold in at the last the well beaten
whites of two eggs. Bake in small
, gem p|vns.
Vergil More Than Match
for “Devylls of Hell”
There are several stories telling how
Vergil became acquainted with the
“devylls of hell.” According to one
German legend, Vergil was one day dig-
ging in his garden when he came upon
a glass filled with what appeared to
be wriggling earthworms. But a voice
came from the glass begging Vergil
to open it and promising to teach him
many arts. “Teach me the .arts,” re-
plied Vergil cannily, “and I will break
the bottle and set you free.” So they
taught him all they knew, and when
he opened the “bottle, 72 devils crawled
out and disappeared.
In another version, a single devil
..promised to give Vergil the magical
hook of Solomon if he would release
him from the bottle. Vergil did so,
but, frightened by the size of the lib-
erated spirit, tricked him into return-
ing to the bottle in the same way as
the fisherman in the “Arabian Nights”
tricked the jinn. “Surely you can’t
make yourself as small as the bottle
again,” said Vergil. “Easily,” replied
the devil, and to prove it, returned to
the flask. Vergil promptly put in the
stopper and kept him prisoner forever,

German Pronunciation
In Germany there is no standard of
pronunciation that is acknowledged
and absolutely followed by the mass
of intelligent people. The so-called
standard of some people is the pro-
nunciation of the stage, which again
Is divided into the pronunciation of
tragedy and comedy. In the latter, of
course, is heard the more natural pro-
nunciation of everyday life. The sec-
tional differences are very marked, but
in general there is a North Germai
and a South German pronunciation.

Arkansas National Park
Hot Springs National park, opened
/n 1921, is located in the middle part
of Arkansas. It is one and one-half
miles in area. There are 46 hot springs
said to possess healing properties, and
19 bath houses under government su-
pervision. The land was reserved by
congress in 1832 as the Hot Springs
reservation to prevent exploitation of
the hot waters.
Getting the “Breaks”
Pluck means a lot in life; luck
means nothing. You are justified in
criticizing your pluck, but never in
whining about your luck. The success-
ful man may have “gotten the breaks,”
but if he did he went out and madr
them for himself.—Grit.
Spider’* Trap
The trapdoor spider digs Its nest
in the ground, and fits on the top a
trapdoor of earth and web with a
hinge that works neatly.

THE AMBIDEXTROUS !
INDEX j
By Hugh Hutton. t
(Author of Nutty Natural History.) ;
't'HE index is a special breed of
A pointer developed by the partridge
hunters of Terra Del Fuego. On
scenting a partridge, it points in the
direction with its tail, and reverses its
feet in the same direction. In case
the hunter’s shells are frozen by the
cold winds blowing off Cape Horn, the
word of command is given and the in-
dex, throwing its head back over its
shoulders, dashes off at the quarry
and impales him on the sharply point-
ed tail. As it is more adept in this
position, biologists have not been able
to determine whether its feet grow
backwards or its head and tail have
been interchanged.
In any case, there is no doubt that
its feet are split peanuts with clove
legs. The body is a paper-shell pecan,
the head a single peanut, and the neck
and ears are cloves. The tail is a
highly tempered toothpick, ground
down to a fine point.

Dutch as Money Lenders
In addition to their banking activ-
ities the Dutch people have long been
identified as world money landers. As.
early as 1700 a decree issued by the
states general ruled against “foreign
loan transactions without consent.”
Various other restrictions, called
“plae. eaten,” were issued, which pro-
hibited Dutch participation or active
interest in any foreign corporations.
The prohibition against foreign cor-
porate financing, rather than foreign
government loans, was designed to
prevent Dutch capitalists from finan-
cing foreign concerns competing with
Dutch trading companies.

When Looking for a Life Partner
T MAY surprise you to learn
that thousands of Americans
each year arrange marriages through
agencies by mail. It surprised me to
learn that the percentage of success
is greater in these unions than among
those preceded by the traditional ro-
mantic courtship.” '
That is from an article on “Mar-
riage by Mail” in a current magazine
which one of our- readers sends us
with this question: “Can you imagine
marriages between people who. know
each other only by correspondence
turning out more successful than
those which take place in the regular
way? jCari you imagine people who
came together because they were look-
ing for some one to marry Jbeing hap-
pier than those who knew each other
before they decided on matrimony?
Isn’t it ridiculous?”
The longer we live the more we are
drawn to the conclusion that anything
is possible and hardly anything should
be dismissed as “ridiculous.”

Gave Bride a Shock
A. clergyman recently gave a young
woman of his acquaintance a very bad
quarter of an hour. On her wedding
day he sent her a telegram which, as
received, ran: “John 4:1S.”
On looking up the text the girl was
horrified to read: “For thou hast had
five husbands; and lie whom thou now
hast is not thy husband.”
After they had restored the young
woman to consciousness, inquiry was
made at the telegraph office, when it
was found that the operator had
omitted the letter o’r numeral indicat-
ing the first Epistle. John I 4:18
reads: “There is-no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out 'fear.”—Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

four eggs beaten very light. Melt one
tablespoonful of butter in a frying
pan and when hot turn in the mixture.
Bake in a moderate oven until well
puffed and a golden brown. Sprinkle
with six tablespoonfuls of thinly sliced
cheese and return to the oven until
the* cheese is melted. Fold the omelet
and turn* on a hot platter. Serve at
once.
Cottage Cheese Pie.
Line a deep pie plate with pastry
and fill with the following: Three well
beaten eggs beaten with a half cupful
of sugar, add one cupful each of cot-
tage cheese and fresh grated coco-
nut, one teaspoonful of nutmeg and
two cupfuls of milk. Bake as you
would a custard pie—very hot at first
to bake the crust, then lo wer 'the heat.
Orange Sponge Cake.
Beat two egg yolks with four table-
spoonfuls of orange and one-half table-
spoonful of lemon juice, add three-
fourths of a cupful of sugar, one-
fourth teaspoonful of grated orange
rind, and then fold in the stiffly beat-
en egg whites and cut and fold in a
cupful of flour that has been well
sifted tp mix with a fourth of a tea-
spoonful of soda. Pour into a cake pau
and bake in a moderate oven forty
minutes.
Coconut Apples.
Prepare red apples by stewing after
coring, unpeeled, in very little water.
When nearly done carefully remove
the skin and scrape any red stain left

Because Paul Smith of Los Angeles thought his wife’s paintings were
unappreciated, he decided to take revenge on the critics. So he executed a
number of exceedingly raw daubs and under an assumed name exhibited
them as examples of the new art in Russia. The critics in Chicago, Boston
and elsewhere were most enthusiastic about them until they learned how
they had been hoaxed. Above is one of Smith’s pictures, entitled “Exaltation.”

coconut is brown and the apples well

The “A and P” stores were started

of life partner is unmistakable.
And if we believe him, dear reader,
it is not at all difficult to imagine
a large percentage of success. It is

‘HEY will not matter such a lot
A year from now, the things to
day.
Alas, we think that they will npt.
I know that every word we say,
Kind or unkind, no matter what,
Makes some heart sad or some heart -

Leaves on some life a bloom or blot.
Yes, day by day we shape our own
And others’ lives in all we do.
We canno.t live our lives alone,
For you mark me and I mark you.
As does the sculptor shape the stone,
Our words, our deeds, are shaping,
too,
The days to come and years unknown.
We get our wrinkles one by one,
Some made by smiles and more by
tears.
The good or evil we have done
Upon the countenance appears— .
Alas, not only ours, my son,
For all the furrows of the years
On others were by us begun.

much. These people, since we are to
take the proposition seriously, come
together in no rarified atmosphere of
romance and illusion. They don’t put
each other on pedestals and expect of
each other what is impossible. They
are very seriously and bluntly look-
ing for a life partner, and in that spir-
it they concentrate, -as one does in a
business partnership on the qualities^
that are likely to make a successful
partnership. They know what they
want, they see without rose-colored
glasses, and according to our infor-
mant, they get it.

chances on marrying in the conven-
tional way and make no recommenda-

Window dedicated to Memory of Lotta Crabtree’s_ Mother I
A wish of Lotta Crabtree before her death was fulfilled when a stained glass window, a memorial to her mother,
was dedicated in St. Stephen’s Episcopal church in Chicago, with Bishop George Craig Stewart delivering the con-
firmation. Until recently the window has stood in a Boston warehouse. The photograph shows Bishop Stewart at the
right and Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker, the pastor of the church, at the left.

«nON’T .touch that, you might
break it.”
“Don’t, try to pour the milk, you
might spill it.”
“No, I don’t want you to help me
make the cake. You would only up-
set things and make more work.”
And so it goes and the little girl
who would have been only too glad
to help mother when she was five
or six has outgrown her desire to do
so by the time she is thirteen or four-
teen.
Once of course mothers had to let
their children help, even when there
were servants. Now with improved,
shortened methods of doing things
they usually find it easier to do
things themselves than to bother
teaching their daughters to help. And
the number of girls of high school age
who know practically nothing about
cooking is amazingly large.
This inability to do the countless
and one things that girls all used
to know how to do sometimes amounts
to a real handicap.
Early English Glassmaking
In Old England the glass making
industry was concentrated in the coun-
ty of Sussex, where an ancient glass
works was dug up. recently. James I
issued a proclamation forbidding the
melting of glass “with timber or wood
or fuel made of the same” fearing, no
doubt, that the forests were being de-
pleted too rapidly. But, in spite of
this order, glass works increased. La-
ter on, in 1633, the import of foreign
glass was prohibited by government
order, although an exception was made
in favor of Venetian ware. The most
important glass factory was at Chid-
dingfold, which dates back to 1240. It
provided Henry II with white and col-
ored glass for his abbey of West-
minster.
The superintendent of a large
nurses’ training school related the
other day that a surprisingly large
number of girls who were perfectly
well qualified to do the classroom
work in training school started train-
ing handicapped because they didn't,
know how to do the most usual sorts
of work about a house.
“Mothers really ought' to teach
their children how to use their hands,”
she said, “especially mothers whose
daughters want to become trained
nurses.”
