Kids Plucking
Your Blooms
By MEL THISTLE
Somebody’s little darling has
picked all your tulips, just before
they opened? riayed “Wing
Awound-A-Wosy” over your fresh
ly bedded pansies? Shredded the
petals of your prize rosebud—the
big one you were going to enter
in the contest?
I can save you that phone call
to the hardware dealer. He will
not sell you any barbed wire for
use in side the city limits. There’s
a law against it. Electrified fences
are out, too; you might get a kid
with a tricky heart, so it is illegal.
Nope, nope, nope—to every last
thing you can think of. Drastic
measures are absolutely out. I

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Eggs Will Be Eggs Until
A Good Chef Takes Over
By Max Winkler
President, Restaurants Longchamps
The egg is an almost necessary part of the American
breakfast Tn its standard forms it may he prepared with
out much difficulty. Thus most everyone, housewife or not,
can boil, fry, poach and scramble eggs.
Served eonstantlv in these few wavs the.v can become
tiresome There are things — not too difficult either — which
can he done with eggs to continue the appetite of the diner
With unabated /est. Here is one which wasn't long in the
making and could have cost the chef his head. lB‘
Nanoleon T had a fondness for English muffins crowned
by grilled ham and poached eggs. His chef. Benedick, his
inventiveness inspired by the cognac he had consumed, one
dav poured HoPandaise sauce over the imperial eggs. Na
poleon was highly pleased with the result and named the dish
for the chef. It has come down to us slightly misspelled.
POACHED EGGS, BENEDICT (serves 1)
1 English muffin 3 tbsps. Sauce Hollandaise*
2 slices ham. grilled 2 slices truffle
2 eggs, poached
Split muffin and toast. On each piece put one slice ham
and 1 egg. Coat with sauce and garnish with slice of truffle.

calls for something devastating—
but we must all reluctantly bow
to a perpetual closed season on
children.
What about the less drastic mea
sures? I know you are clever, but
name one that will work. You
can’t? Neither can I. Turning the
hose on them is no use: they en
joy it.
If you speak harshly to the little
dears, you will become unpopular;
you will be known as a grouch,
and generation after generation of
ingenious fiends will take up the
popular neighborhood sport of
hounding you, baiting you to a
lather. This will become a tradi
tion.
If you speak kindly to the little
angels, you will become popular;
your garden will swarm with ac
tive and noisy admirers, and the
effects will be indistinguishable
from those engineered by mutual
animosity. This, also will become
a tradition.
Fences are useless. They climb
over the ordinary ones, just be
cause they are there. If you put
in a big one, they regard it as a
challenge, and climb over to see
why you wanted to keep them out.
If you put up a tremendous wall,
at great expense, they deliberate
ly fall off, break a bone or two,
and it’s all your fault because you
provided the danger. You will be
sued.
If they fall out of your favorite
fruit tree, or bash themselves on
the edge of your lily pond, you do
not sue them for trespass: they
sue you. It is your fault, for Main
taining an Attractive Nuisance.
Or perhaps Sockage in Fief.
And it is no use saying “Adults
of the World Unite” or in any way
start Trying to Put a Stop \o It.
Adults are in the minority and
have very little real power. Not
ony the law, but popular senti
ment is heavily against you. You
will fail in any such movement.
Only two courses are left. One
is to appear as inconspicuous as
possible, neither sweet nor sour;
and accept, that in an imperfect
world, some damage is going to be
done by hail, drought, floods, dogs,
cats, tornadoes, and children. If
you can regard a child as an Act
of God against which there is no
possible defense you will be get
ting pretty close to the truth._Re
