BURGESS THE BEECH-NUT PICNIC VER in a certain part of the Green Forest grow silver-barked beeches, the trees that Peter Rabbit thinks are the most beautiful of all trees that in winter are bare of leaves. Already they were partly bare and the leaves which ung to them were crisp and yellow. The beech trees, like Johnny Chuck, were about ready to go to sleep for the winter. You see, thelr summer's work was about finished. In fact for beneath them among the crisp fallen leaves were ever and ever so many ripe, brown, three-sided little nuts, the 1 still cl it we 18 quite finished, *My, but This Is Going to Be Some Picnic!” sweetest little nuts in the world, That is what Buster Bear says, anyway, but perhaps he isn’t a fair ju Those brown ed little nuts were the gift of the silver-barked beech trees, for the Joy and well-being of some of their feaifered and furred neighbors. All summer those lit tle nuts had been growing in little prickly husks on the beautiful beech trees. At first, they had been but with the coming of fall they turned brown. Now had Frost sf a still October night and opened the prickly sks. Mer ry Little Breezes had shaken out the little brown nuts and they had rattled merrily down through the branches to the ground and rolled this way and rolled that way under the crisp fallen leaves, Now, many sharp eyes had been watching those little husks the ‘beech trees and waiting for the com- Ing of Jack Frost to open them.

Eggs, being the most delicate of these foods, should have especial care In cooking. When we speak of eggs as bolled hard or soft, we do not mean boiled at all. Eggs will eook hard at 170 to 180 degrees, depending upon the length of time to which they have been subjected to the heat, Eggs to be cooked In the shell, If desired hard, should be placed in a saucepan, using one pint of boiling water for each egg that Is of room temperature when put into the water: If taken from the Ice chest, more boiling water will be needed to cook the egg. Cover closely and let stand on the back of the range or in a warm place for 30 minutes. The egg Is then hard cooked, but the white will be tender and eas Hy digested. If a soft-cooked egg of various softness Is desired, remove at six, ten or twelve minutes, Once the principle Is learned for cooking eggs In the shell it is learned for other forms. Low temperature, below the boiling point, is used for poached eggs. When cooking foods with eges, place the dish in water, especially In the oven cook ing.
