TO LET
He was putting the finishing
touches to his picture.
He had chosen a lovely old cottage
for his brush, and the picture was
satisfactory. No one was living in
the cottage; but that did not matter,
for the artist had put curtains at the
windows and a thin wisp of smoke
curling up from one of the stone
chimneys.
Presently a native came up.
“That’s my property,” said he,
pointing with his stick to the cot
tage. “So you’ve made a picture of
It, eh? What will you be doing with
it, it I might ask?’’
“Oh.” said the artist, “I shall send
It to one of the art exhibitions.”
“Aye! And will many folk see it?”
“A good many. I expect.”
“They will, will they? Well, then,
look here, just paint a notice-
board, will you, and make it say,
‘To let for summer months’?”
Household ffeujs
Save the Bait
The usual fisherman sat on the
usual bank of the usual stream when
the usual traveler approached him.
“How are they biting?” asked the
traveler sociably.
“Not at all,” sighed the fisher
man. “As a matter of fact there
isn’t a single fish in this whole
stream.”
“Then why are you fishing here?”
“Because it pays me. Look at
the money I save on bait!”
WEEKS BEFORE
“His store burned last night. I
knew it was doomed as soon as I
saw it.”
“I knew it was doomed weeks be
fore I saw it.”

FESTIVE TRIUMPH FOR CHILDREN’S PARTY
(See Recipes Below)
Children Need Parties Too
Thank You—Dear
Hubby—It’s no use, darling, I
have been to every shop in town,
and not one of them can match that
piece of ribbon for me.
Wifle—Splendid! I just wanted to
make sure no other woman in town
would have anything that shade!
Rather Walk the Mile
Groom—I’d walk a mile to visit
your mother.
Bride—It’s sweet of you to say
that, but it won’t be necessary. She’s
going to live with us.
Groom—Heck, I’d rather walk a
mUe!
He Asked for It
Patron—Say, waiter; this steak
isn’t very tender.
Tired Waiter—Well, did you ex
pect it to put its arms around your
neck and kiss you?
Definite Results
Chubb—I hear you and the boys
struck for shorter hours. Did you
get them?
Kickbush—Sure, we ain’t workin’
at all now.
Couldn’t Do It Today
“What did Columbus prove by
standing an egg on end?”
‘That eggs in his day were cheap
enough to be handled carelessly.”
CRYING OUT LOUD
With all the holiday festivities for
grown folks and for older sisters
and brothers, it’s not strange that
the youngest members of the family
beg for a party, too!
Children’s parties must be color
ful, the entertainment simple, and
the refreshments
very light. If the
party is to be a
success (and why
give one if it
isn’t?) the activi
ties of the young
sters must be
wisely directed
from the moment
they arrive, un
til they leave.
Choose, to direct the entertainment,
the wisest, jolliest, child-loving adult
you know. Plan games that are
simple, and make sure that all the
children are included. Remember,
too, that children weary quickly of
any one activity, so plan a variety of
games and get the new one under
way before interest in the old one
vanishes.
Party refreshments, of course,
must be geared to the age of the
guests. If they are very young, it’s
a good idea to serve the feast at
the end of the party, so that it takes
the place of the regular evening
meal.
Decorate the table with snapping
crackers, colored balloons, and pep
permint canes to give a really fes
tive setting for the occasion.

Electric Outlets Needed
For Kitchen Efficiency
When electric outlets are being
planned in a new house for lamps,
clocks, and radios, the kitchen is
often neglected. In reality, it has
more uses for plugs than any other
room.
Within reasonable limits, there
cannot be too many appliance out
lets in the kitchen. In this room
electricity is used both for lighting
and for motivating power. Consump
tion of current varies widely with
kitchen appliances, and special at
tention should be given to the load
the outlet is expected to carry.
