Curls are given a final twist, wide blue collars are made secure., buckles to slippers ; tightened, kleenex dubs per spiring foreheads, a cupped hand is passed around to collect "bubble-gum". So much for the upper-half of the long line of impatient "song birds:" the faces wore the a.sject of "she ;has;in)y!,.. sincere sympathy," and no one smiled brightly for Mrs. Thompson as she called out sweetly, "be sure to sing pretty for me. children." Too busy, really, to probe the cause of the "long faces." Mrs. Thompson strided hurriedly toward the leader, , The time had come for the choir to march in.

Howbeit, the spirit of the occasion was contagious because everyone was saying nice things about the Tots Choir and wishing for them "many happy returns of the day." And those who were working with candidates in the "Mr. or Miss Tots Choir" title, hurried off to stuff their envelopes with additional coins. Among the first to return at 3 o'clock, all prettied up in special occasion clothes, ribbons or other hair adorn ments, and grown up airs, were our unhappy Misses in volved in the robe incident. The boys were obvious with their giggles, but the little Misses gave them cool, cal culating glances without stopping to say, "hello." They sassahayed down the long aisle of the sanctuary to the seats reserved for them. Moments later, the "Twclfeth Anniversary" observance of the Tots Choir began with Miss Ava Ddrlenc Best pre siding.

If you need the oven for one dish, round out your menu with others that can be baked in the oven at the same tem perature. An oven takes more energy to heat than top-of-range units, but it uses energy efficien tly if you cook several dishes at once.
