Ways to Make Kitchen Attractive BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER, e T Ty dThére are comparatively few per- £ sons who have the pleasure of plan- £-ning their own kitchens. They do “haye the chance to equip and decorate <them. Just how these things may #be done depends on the situation of {the rooms and the requirements of tithe familles. For instance, if a fakitchen is bright and sunny, it can aibe done in gray with blue gingham Scurtains and either a gray painted jifloor or one with plain cork oflcloth Mor a “rug” of the same general tones «wand of the cork or less expensive oil- icloth. A blue and gray color scheme {¥is cold if the furnishings are white; mthe room needs to be sunny. Indeed, {¥otherwise it will be cold, even formal. A kitchen that has the sun but half the day may combine yellow in some various shades with the gray “ th the blue; this equalizes the ‘wbalance of warm and cold colors. To “throw the balance into the really fywarm tones such as would be desirable ¢ifor north ‘Xitchens where the sun ¥ never. enters let the scheme be yel- #low andywvhite. Green and white may ¥ be-‘used” in any of the rooms. Th¢ Mgreen could be combined with the gray in.the.sunny room, with the vellow ‘n the partly sunny or the syn- less room, or'be used with white in a north room provided ‘the tone was a warm or yellow green.

Areiail s0e PSR i dous. ¥ Danny Meadow Mouse was very #imuch pleased with his new home at #the seashore. Not very far away Jimmy Skunk—not the one he used to know back at Farmer Brown's, but nother one—was living under a bath- Ithouge. ‘Already Danny had heard a {Fox sniffing at the entrance to his {inew home in an old log on the edge Uiof the marsh. That sniff was all that JiDanny had needed to make him feel wireally at home. # " “If only Nanny were here it would ibe perfect,” said Danny in that " FINALLY DANNY VENTURED OUT TO SEE WHAT THAI MARSH WAS LIKE. (il L] funny, squeaky little voice of his. For just a minute he feit a little bit lonely. Then in the excitement of going exploring he forgot ‘all about Nanny. He first made a little passage for himself underneath the dry sea- weed along the old log where he was making his home. It was just big nough for him to run along. Then e cut a little path down to the edge f the marsh. All along the edge of e marsh were masses of: dry sea- eed which had floated in there on & igh tide and been stranded. Never ad Danny found a'place where it s so easy to keep under cover. He romptly started in. to make little E ges underneath some of these ‘masses of seaweed. They were only short distances apart all along the edge -of the great marsh, so that in running from one to another of these ‘watches of seaweed Danny had to ex- pose himself only for a moment. Finally Danny ventured out to see what that marsh was like.

It should be remember- ed that the schemes for kitchens should never be dainty nor should they be esthetic. They should be clean cut, crisp and colorful. Old-Fashioned Kitchens. 1t is surprising what capabilities for decoration are latent in old-fash ioned kitchens. They can be changed from dingy, cheerless spots into cozy and pleasant rooms. The introduction of suftable fabrics of correct colors, coupled with a skiliful dose of paint for the woodwork, makes a magical transformation. To these add quaint braided rugs and a comfortable wood- en chair and the room will becken to you with its cheery wand. A well kept kitchen of this description may well be a joy to any housewife.

However, when Danny tasted that grass he found it was a different kind of grass from that he was used to. .There was no clover there. It tasted just a wee bit salt. He rather liked it. It was tall enough for him to feel well protected, 80 he started at once to cut some little paths through this grass. As he cut the grass he ate it. It was a very convenient way of getting rid of the grass. Of course, he didn’t get very far the first day, but day by day and night by night—for Danny was out whenever he happened to feel lik going out—he carried those little ‘baths farther and farther into the marsh. The truth of the matter is, Danny was finding new and strange things and he really begrudged the time to sleep. There were curious little crea- tures called Sand-hoppers. in that grass, and Danny speedily discovered that they were good to eat. It was great fun catching them. They made him think -of -glant Fleas. So.while he had plenty of grass he didn't have to live altogether on grass. Then, after he had explored a while, he found that there were tiny shellfish on the ground, and that these.also were good to eat when they were small enough for his sharp teeth to crack them open. Twice every day the water came-creeping up over that marsh... Sometimes. it quite covered the grass; other times just the tops of the grasses were above it. Then, after a short time that- wnkur Wo'-::: disappear.. Of course, you know it was the coming and golng,.or ris- ing and falling, it is called, of the tide. Some times after the tideshad gone down would find it had jeft ‘behind it more of these little shell fish, and occasionally very tiny fishes would be stranded in little pools.’ Then Danny turned flsherman. In short,"Danny never had a greater variety of food than was finding down there on the marsh. ‘When he wanted a complete change all he had to do was to go.up on the |4 land back of the marsh and there he found seeds and, berries and sweet grasses. such as he been used /to_before h‘::rml ;:rt sea- shore..

Taking it by and large, there are just as many good husbands as there are ‘wives; just as many self-sacrificing husbands as there are self- sacrificing wives; just as many men who are martyrs to fretful, complaining, eurotic wives as there are saintly wives who endure grouchy husbands with lllp-r;uman ”;m“d.i;l i S ’ 5 'ou must know i 80 you are teaching your daughter a false- hood when you teach her that no man is to be trusted. The chances are at least two to one that will get a good reliable husband, d that {s a fair sporting chance that any Woman is justified in backing. Of course, in trylng to keep your daughter from marrying you are attempting,to save her from possible unhappiness, but there again I think you are m-ung‘d mistake, for in trying to play too safe you lose out. ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained” holds good of everything in the world. ‘Those who are afraid that everything they eat will make them sick lose all the pleasures of the table. Those who are afraid of getting burt have no Joyrides, take no journeys into far countries. Those who are afraid of losing their money hide it in a stocking and collect no dividends. And those who are too afraid to take a chance in the matrimonial lottery, who atrophy their emotions, who stifle their love, who let their hearts wither within them, miss the great joys of comradeship, of children, of home that the old maid or old bachelor never knows. Possibly they do save themselves from a few s of disillusion. Possibly they save themaeives from the sorrow of & wrecked marriage, but even 80, the man and woman who marry the ones they love, even if they lose out in the end, are better off than those who never marry at all.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. S. W. C.—Dark circles seem quite common to some persons with- out really meaning ill health. In the case of a child of three it would seem that she does not get all the sleep she needs; or is being badly fed. Since you say she is being fed by rule, one would have to discount this. The auto rides should not hurt her unless she is being made over tired and losing sleep because of them. Mrs. V.

Leila Marsh, who has elways been acoustomed to idleness, is leff with- out money. BShe finds her vich friends are of the foir weather yariety, and because she has never been taught to do anything, is forced to take @ posi- tion as lady’s maid with Mrs. King: ley. In the family are Richard Kings- ley, and Barry, the son. On the first morning Leila is summoned to Mona's room. She finds Richard there, and Mona humiliates Leila before him. That afternoon she is commanded to serve tea, although she knows that it is not her job, dut that of Kuwa, the dutler. CHAPTER XIL iR Facing It. As Leila advanced into the little circle of faces, conversation was sus- pended. It was as if Mona had said just before the girl's entrance; “I call her the Grand Duchess, it's most amusing to have some one decorative to wait orf me,” or some words to that effect, for Leila felt curious eves upon her, although she could hardly see for the blur that misted her own. Then Mona spoke, her voice smooth and sweet. “Right here, Leila, that's splendid. How do you take your tea Marcia, T've forgotten?, Oh. yes, one lump and | lemon. It's alme a formula with all of us, isn't it Leila stood back of Mona watching her fingers handling the delicate china the small, silver sugar tongs, the heavy teapof. Mona’s hands were pretty, but not nearly so lovely as her own, and as this thought occurred to her, her agony of embarrassment lift- ed somewhat and it was with more self-possession that she carried the cup of tea to the woman called Marcia. After all, ran her thoughts, why not wear her mantle of humilia- tlon gallantly instead of meking such a fuss about it? These people were no better than she was, excepting for the fact that they had money. From under her lashes she observed the little group. The woman called Marcia was exquisitely dressed, but under her small close hat her face looked weary, and although she couldn’'t have been more than 35, there were lines at the corners of her eyes. She had resumed conversation, chatting along in a rather sprightly manner, to which the others respond- ed with more or less enthusiasm. ‘There was one other woman present and a man called Ronny. He was tall and blond, with a small mustache on his upper lip.. His grooming was faultless, from the cut of his collar to his perfectly spatted feet, and Leila could not help moticing that when- ever Mona addressed him there was a curious note in her voice not pres- ent when: she spoke to the others. Once Lella intercepted a swift in- terchange of glances between the two, and in that moment Mona's blue eyes wavered almost shyly. Leila wondered curiously if there could be anything of a romantic nature be- tween Mona and this man. Somehow she could not visualize Mona in love. IShe was too intensely selfish to care for anything. outside of her own beau- tiful self. During all this time, Leila has been passing sandwiches and cakes, or standing back of Mona's chair while she poured fresh tea. She was con- gratulating herself that her ordeal was almost over, when the outer door slammed, and a_moment later Rich- ard strode into the room. He greeted the _others carelessly and - dropped wearily into a chair. Then as Mona asked him if he would have tea, he raised his eyes and saw Leila for the first time. “Where's Kuwa?"' he asked crisply. “Why isn't he serving the tea?” “Is there anything you want, Rich- ard?” Mona asked sweetly. ‘‘Any- thing besides tea, I mean?” And then before he could answer she flung out her hands in a graceful little gesture including them all. “Richard hates any change in the existing order of things. He doesn't like me to indulge my whims. Kuwa isn't serving tea because I preferred Leila to do it. She’s much nicer to look at. and if you don't agree with me, Richard, I'm sure the others do.” Marcia laughed, and Leila felt the eyes of. every one fixed upon her. At the same time, Mona with perfect nonchalance handed her the cup of tea that she had just poured for Rich- ard. Leila’s fingers shook so that the hot liquid splashed over on her hand. and the next moment, the delicate Haviland cup and saucer lay in ruins on the rug at her feet. (Copyright. 1026.)
