DANNY'S HOME-COMING HEN the first Jolly Sunbeams came stealing through the Green Forest, Danny Meadow Mouse began to be uneasy. He was thoroughly rest- ed and the dangers of the dreadful night were already forgotten. Per- baps I should not say that they were forgotten, for, of course, that Isn't quite true. But Danny had quite put them out of his mind. That is the way with the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. Dan- gers that are past are not worth think- ing about. They must keep their minds clear for possible dacgers to come. 80 Danny's thoughts were not of what he had been through. but were wholly of getting home. He thanked his cousin, Whitefoot, for all the latter had done for him and then climbed out of the hollow stump and once more started for the Green Meadows and home. As long as he was in the Green Forest he was anx- lous. He didn't feel at home there. He didn’t know what to expect. He imagined all sorts of dangers. But the Instant he reached the edge of the Green Meadows his heart became light. I'm So Glad! Glad!” He still had a long way to go and many things might happen before he reached that snug little home and Nanny Meadow Mouse and the bables. But Danny's heart was light, for on the Green Meadows he knew just what to do and where to go. He could see Redtall the Hawk sailing round and round, high in the blue, blue sky. He knew that Redtall was watching with those wonderful eyes of his for a fat Meadow Mouse, but that didn't worry Danny In the least. You see, he knew Just how to keep out of sight. After a while he reached one of his own private little paths. The brown grass hung over it making a regular little tunnel of it. Danny scampered along as fast as his short legs would take him and so presently he reached his snug, safely hidden little home. The half-grown children raced out to meet him to see If he had brought them something. Inside, the babies were having an after-dinner nap. Of Nanny Meadow Mouse there was no sign. You see, Nanny was out getting mT I'm Seo That Easter probably derives its name from Eastre, a Sax- on goddess? In the ancient church, the celebration of Easter lasted an octave (8 days).

It was while he walt- ed for her that Danny began to won- der how ever he would be able to ex- plain his long absence. He suspected that Nanny would be very cross, very cross, Indeed. He suspected that he was due for a scolding, such a scolding as only Nanny's sharp tongue could give. He knew that he deserved it He was glad, ever so glad, to be home, but he felt most uncomfortable. By and by, as he sat just outside his snug little home, he heard foot- steps hurrying along one of the pri- vate little paths, It was Nanny hur- rying home to her bables,. When she saw Danny she stopped short and stared at him as If she thought her eyes were playing her tricks. Then, instead of the sharp words he expected and knew he richly deserved, Nanny rushed to him erying, “Oh, Danny, I'm so glad! I'm so glad! [I thought you were dead!” And Danny Meadow Mouse knew then how great is love. © T. WW.

The use of quick-cooking tapioca has become common in the preparation of soups, omelets, berry ples and meat loaves, but now comes the thrilling discovery of what this versatile Ingre- diet can do for Ice cream. With the use of tapioca, a velvety smooth cream can be made without the bother of cranking the freezer. Yet no more cream Is required than for the mix- ture which must be stirred. Simply prepare the mixture, set the control for freezing desserts and for- get all about it until the freezing is complete. For those who have no me- chanical refrigerator, turn the mix- ture into a mold, pack in ice and salt and let stand for four or five hours. Formerly recipes of the mousse type, with a large proportion of cream have had to be used in order to get satisfactory results in the texture, without stirring.
