HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN, { Breakfast for two in the kitchen—it is, indeed, a doughty housewife who never succumbs to its insidious charms. An extra moment or two in bed—the trouble of setting the dining table saved—and the clearing-up so quickly out of the way afterward. But kitchens are mnow so small that sometimes there is not room for a table where even two can breakfast. So a modern knight in the Fuise of a manufacturer of kitchen cabinets has come to the ladies’ res. icue. He has built a kitchen cahinet of great efficlency. which, added to the usual allurements, has an extra shelf which pulls out from under the working surtace and on which one may set the table for breakfast for two very neatly and conveniently. is ever again: good judgment and be. | water can’t quell it!

Betty never afterward forgot that New Year party of Alice's, although she didn't want to remember it. She and Jim arrived at the Grifith Apartment about 9:30. It was situ- ated at Ninety-sixth street between Broadway and Riverside drive, and they proceeded through one of those ornate, imitation marble entrances filled with a profusion of potted palms to the elevator at the back, in which they were whizzed to the ninth floor. A Alice herself opened the door to them. She was very gay, and her pale blue eyes were fairly blazing. “Gentlemen’s coatroom first door on right,” she sald somewhat shrilly, and then she took Betty to her own room. where two girls were primping before the triple mirror of the dress- ing table. Alice’'s introductions were perfunc- tory. “Miss Carter, this is Miss Ames. The two girls nodded to Betty and went on with their primping. Then Miss Graham, | as the bell rang again Alice flew out of the room. Betty fought against a feeling of shyness and tried to seem casual and a\ ease. Tt was difficult, how- ever, loss with these friends of Jimniy's. These girls, far instance, were so vaipably disinterested, as far as she | was concerned. They pald no atten- tion to her.

The large living room cleared of rugs and the furniture pushed against the wall. On a large | table stood a huge punch howl filled with an amber-colored liquid in which floated bits of fruit—pineap- ple, cherries and sliced orange. Small cups were ranged about the bowl, and most of the guests were efther just going up to the table or just coming away. Jimmy came up to Betty. She wore the white dress with the tiny glitter- ing rhinestones, the dress in which she had felt like a million dollars at the St Martin's dance.

Poison vy has three leaflets. These may be lobed or have a stralght margin: they may be shiny or some- what hairy, the stem may be low and erect or tall and straggling, or it may be a vine that climbs in fence rows and old stone walls and over bushes and up the trunks of trees. The stem of the vine generally puts out countless little root-like feelers that cling to the support, like the rootlets of Virginia creeper. NS Besides poison ivy there is poison oak, @ low shrub common around Washington, in which the three leaflets are curously lobed to re- semble the leaves of an oak. ‘ There is poison dogwood, or poison elder, or poison sumac, as the plant is variously called.

The following is a quotation from Voltaire: “T wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death | your right to say it.” Was not the brilliant Frenchman inconsistent? I would appreciate your comment on the underlying meaning of his statement His utterance forcibly expresses the that the «exercise of the right in this particular instance involved his unal terable antagonism to what was said His fine tolerance is still denfed by many who are more afrald bigness of life than of its littleness. Those who insist upon tolerance, how- ever, would advance its exercise more rapidly if their convictions were the medium through which mutual sym- pathy and understanding were con- stantly diffused Too frequently they voice crass theories which separate men as the oceans once separated nations. True tolerance breeds no confusions in thought, word or deed, Its larger prevalence in differing group: barrlers. It is symbolized by the fact that these same oceans have become the crowded highways of commerce in ideas and the articles of trade. Genuine freedom of speech pre- supposes its rightful use, otherwise it breeds the evils it laments. ok K ok DAYTON, Ohfo.
