Bedtime Story for Children
By THORNTON W. 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

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

SUMMER MEALS
D URING the warm weather Is the
time to let dpwn on all unneces
sary work so that mother may have a
little vacation as well. 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

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.

For the last 20 years, the trustees
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
have been worried. Through the base
ment ran six 48-lneh water mains, out
lets of the Central park reservoir. It’s
not an uncommon thing for water
mains to burst and had any one of^the
half-dozen done so, the chances were
that art treasures worth many thou
sands, stored In the basement when
not on exhibition, would have been
ruined or at least damaged. The six
mains are now being replaced by two
