Use soft paper for wiping tables and ranges before washing them with soap and water. Grease ad heres to paper more readily than it comes off with moisture. When a recipe calls for a small amount of onion juice, cut off a thin slice at the ba^e end, then scrape off the juice with the tip of a tea spoon.

Only the middle boy, one Archie Raymond, noticed his apathy. The tree, in ail its green splendor, stood tall in the living room bedecked with an in creasing number of ornaments. “Careful,” Marcia Raymond ad monished her son sharply. “Don’t hang those big balls dowm so low. The kitten will break’ them." Gently Archie lifted them to a higher bough, drawing in the pun- S tnt scent of the pine. Only he saw at the kitten whlked slowly under the tree unaware of the boughs tickling her furry back. His young est brother had named the roly- poly butterscotch kitten Tupid. Young Billy was easily aroused to fits of anger. His favorite expres sion, under stress, was a lisped, “You 'tupid, you big ‘tupid.” Archie, his ten-year-old brother, Joe, and his parents laughed at the little boy's wrath and, because the kitten was slower than the others in MttHIM Mil MM YSUUIAPN C«aa»ANY f • Tupid circled and smelftd at the black kitten until he was sat- tisfied. Then his tongue flicked out to lick the kitten. the litter, they named him, most af fectionately, Tupid. “Archie,” Mrs. Raymond was flurried from all the excitement, “That blue globe is much too low. Tupid will get it. I don’t doubt,” she added pessimistically, “that we will lose half of our globes.” Archie xould see that Tupid had no interest either in the swaying boughs or the brilliant-colored frag ile balls. For tvro days Tupid had wandered carelessly about the house and yard. He wasn’t playful or friendly and he had stopped pur ring. Only Archie sensed that the kitten was lonesome for his sisters and brothers and his mother. At first there had been four balls of fur and a proud old alley cat moth er. As they grew, they had become f playful, pattering swiftly through the house. But now they were all gone, including the mother. Just Tupid was left to keep. Even the black imp with shoe-button eyes had been given away. Tar Baby, who had been the boss of the litter, had been gone barely two days, and Tupid missed him. “Well,” his father’s voice boomed again, as he climbed down the lad der. “All done in time for Christ mas Eve. Come here, Joe, Archie, you too Billy. I want you to see this fine tree.” Mrs. Raymond switched the lights off and Archie shivered in delighted excitement as the tree blazed, il lumined by the strings of lights and balls. The magic moment was shattered by the sharp ring of the doorbell. A rush of cold air came in as Mr. Raymond flung open the door wide to admit a bundled figure. “My father says I can’t keep the kitten,” Gerald Parks recited automatically, close to tears, “I have to give it back because U gives my father hay fever.” Gerald went out in another rush of frosty air, but not before Mrs. Raymond had pressed a fat candy cane into his mittened hand. Tar Baby huddled, in the middle of the floor. "Watch it. boys,” Mr. Raymond warned. “Let’s just watch him. He feels strange here now; he’ll be all right in a while.” Archie saw Tupid jump from the sofa with a purr of delight. Tupid circled and smelled at the black kitten until he was satisfied. Then his tongue flicked *out to lick the kitten. Tupid’s paws caressed him as his tongue washed 1pm. The black kitten stood passive, as Tupid showered his pent-up love on him. ‘Th»y, mommy,” Billy lisped, •‘Txfcid’A kissing him, isn’t he?" “Um,“ Mrs. Raymond agreed. “Tar Babj'a Tupid’s Christmas present.” , Mr. Raymond’s eyes swept his ions’ awe-struck feces.
