"But we will tell you what to do, old snow. "Here, in the woods, you fall around the trees.

"In the cities watch the trees where the little birds go, and be very careful, care-ful, oh, so careful, not to cover up the holes.

A very simple method of starting children in the use of their allowances is that employed by social service agencies In dealing with foreign or illiterate fumilles. It consists of several sev-eral envelopes preferably stout manila for durability one for each kind of expenditure. Two would be enough for a child at first, one marked "To spend" and one "To save for something nice." Many parents give their children a few pennies each week when they are as young as four or five years old. When a child has learned to .make change, to add or subtract amounts, and can be sent to the store, he is old enough to have some money of his own to handle. The envelope system Is a help until he can write his "accounts" "ac-counts" down In a . book. Then he should be taught gradually how to find out what be has spent and what Comfortable Shoes Are Important Think first of how your shoes feel rattier than how they look is one of the late advices of health specialists. To permit free action of the feet, shoes should be loose and flexible. Tight or short shoes press the toes together bo that the muscles and bones lose their strength, and the toes become deformed. Two rules to remember are: Toe straight ahead, using the large toe as a lever; never toe out and keep the weight on the outer border of the foot. Exercise often helps foot troubles. These exercises should be taken in the bare feet two or three times a day. First pull the toes in and under as if picking up something repeat thirty or forty times; pick up marbles or pencils with the toes ; walk pigeon-toed pigeon-toed ; walk slowly on the outer borders bor-ders of the feet with toes turned in.

When the snow saw the squirrels in the parks whisking their bushy tails and heard them say : "The snow is really lovely and not a bit cold," and heard the little birds whispering:. 1 ' ., . .. "This is wonderful, we don't shiver at all," then the snow was ever so glad it had fallen as the fairies had asked. And oh, it felt so nice to have the cool snow again and the fresh clear air. It was lovely I (, 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) Curtains for the Problem of Arranging (Prepared by the Cr.ited State Department of AKilculture.) It is sometimes a problem to curtain cur-tain short windows In a small living room successfully, especially if there are bookcases or radiators under any of tfie windows. One fixture or built-in built-in piece more or less determines the length of all the curtains In the room. Hie problem has been pleasingly met in this living room photographed by the bureao of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. Agricul-ture. Both glass curtains and side draperies are carried to the lower ede of the window casing, but the over-draperies over-draperies are sightly looped b.ik to make the effect less severe. The inner in-ner edge of these draperies is kept as straight as possible, parallelini the vertical lines of the window.

A child who Is old enough to ride on street cars alone is ready for a notebook system of accounts. As the number and kind of expenses Increase, the bureau of home eco nomics does not consider the envelope system satisfactory. It necessitates keeping more money on hand than is desirable. It provides no permanent classified record on which future estimates esti-mates can be made. It is confusing because in order to make change money is borrowed from one envelope for another.

Browned Toast Rings With Creamed Fowl Toast rings, besides using up stale bread, offer an attractive way of serving creamed fowl, fish and vegetables. vege-tables. The filling for the rings may be prepared separately and the bread rings toasted just before serving. Cut as many circles from thick slices of bread as there are persons to be served. Using a cutter about an Inch smaller small-er or a large grapefruit corer, cut out the centers. Brown the rings thus prepared either ei-ther in a toaster, under a broiler flame, or In a pan containing a little hot butter or substitute.
