BURGESS DANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS GLAD HE IS SMALL I ■ * 1 I F EVER In all the Great World there was a startled Bear, that one was Buster Bear when Danny Meadow Mouse ran straight.at him. Beechnuts were In Buster Bear’s mind, sweet lit tle beechnuts and nothing else, when he reached out a great paw to rake over that little pile of leaves. It didn’t enter Buster’s head that there might be anything but beechnuts und^r them. So, when Danny Meadow Mouse with a frightened squeak darted out from under Buster’s very paw and straight towards him, Buster was so surprised and startled that for a second or two he didn’t know what to do. Now It seemed an absolutely crazy thing for Danny to run straight at Buster, but the truth Is It was the wisest thing he could have done. It wasn't wisdom that made him do It. No, indeed, It wasn’t wisdom at all. It was just pure fright and nothing else. Danny was so frightened that he didn't have any idea at all where he was running. He Just ran, that was all. And because he happened to be facing Buster Bear he ran straight at him. Now If he had run away from Bus ter things might not have turned out at all as they did. Buster would have seen just where he we'nt and the In stant he recovered from his surprise would have been after him. As It was, Danny darted right under Buster’s big paw and right across the toes of one of Buster’s big hind feet Buster is a big fellow and he looks clumsy, but he Isn’t nearly as clumsy as he looks. In fact, Buster Isn’t clumsy at all. fie is surprisingly quick In his movements for such a big fellow. The Instant he recovered from his surprise at the sud den appearance of * Danny Meadow Mouse, Buster whirled about. A fat Meadow Mouse would go splendidly with- those sweet beechnuts he had eaten. , But by the time Buster had turned about Danny had darted behind a big tree and there he stopped. He stopped because he didn’t know which way to Danny Had Darted Behind a Big Tree. go. It happens that that wrfs the wisest thing he could have done. You see, If lie had continued to run he would have rustled the dry leaves and Buster would have known just where he was. But because he stopped as he did there was nothing to tell' Buster which way he had gone. ..For once-ia his Hfe^banny Meadow Mouse was glad [he was little.

Had he bet n big, as big, let us say, as Peter Rabbit, the chances are that he wouldn’t, have been able- to slip out from under Buster’s big paw as he had done. He was glad that he was little.

Informal serv Ing—letting the youngsters 'do the work—It will be s change from school work, and It is a good thing to train "The .world isn’t so small after all,” says Reno Ritzl, "just try going some place where you don’t wish to be seen.’ * 1 them to do' all kinds of household tasks. The girls, of course, are expect ed to have' this training before they go'lnto'their own homes, or how will they know how to tleal with- house hold matters and spend the money given to them for the upkeep of the home? Boys, too, should begin early to learn how to cook simple foods, be able to make a good cup of colTee, prepare a crisp piece of toast, and serve a well-cooked egg. These accom plishments are not only helpful but often necessary in cases of illness or absence of the housewife. V It is ..not always easy or agreeable for a good housekeeper to turn over the work to her children, but it Is most gratifying In results. Now is the time to serve the-meals on the porch or Tn the garden; theTbuilgTolkS -wItT enjoy taking the extra steps and the novelty will serve to delight the whole family. Serve breakfast buffet style as the English do. Everybody has a few cov ered dishes to keep things hot, and with hot coffee and toast, one may make a fine breakfast. Scrambled eggs, sliced bacon, sausages—even hot griddle cakes or waffles may be made on the porch. A perfect picnic is one where every- hody does his share of the work and mother has the rest—from work. A ripe banana with a glass of good milk is sufficient luncheon for a light meal. Bananas as fruit are used so fre quently that It is hardly necessary to mention how well they serve in salads. Peel a banana, roll in chopped nuts and lay on a lettuce leaf or in a nest of water cress. Serve with a nose of mayonnaise. The banana should be dipped into french dressing to moisten it before rolling it in crumbs; this adds a special zest to It. Copyright—WNU Servlcw By ANNE CAMPBELL S OMEBODY said a loving word!
