Dried apri- cots can be used instead of the peaches, but they are not so unusual. Baked Winter pears are another sel- dom-served breakfast fruit that is d iicious hot. If the pears are somewhat tasteless, as frequently happens with winter varieties, allow a teaspoonful of maple sirup to each pear, one tea- spoonful of lemon juice to & pint of them, and sugar to taste, if the maple | sirup is not sufficlent. The lemon gives : zest, but can be omitted if pears are to be eaten with cream. Prunes are a good old standby. For tunately they are appreciated now They are hearty, and wholesome and when cooked well have a deliclous rich flavo". They should soaked, after | washing, and then cooked in fresh cold | water, starting with a low temperatur and then egradually having heat in- | creased until the water which covers them comes to & boil. Then the tem- | perature should be lowered and the prunes be simmered until tender. Al- | ways have prunes tightly covered, for they should steam. They can be cooked |in a casserole. A tablespoonful of light molasses or sirup can g: added with a little sugar when the prunes are half done while they are being cooked on top of the | stove. If cooked in the oven, the | liquid sweetening may be put in with the sugar at first. Be ecareful of sweet- | ening prunes too much. It spoils the flavor. Some persons like a little lemon juice and rind cooked with prunes, but if the fruit is to be served with cream, as would be the case for breakfasts, | this acid is not so welcome. My Neighbor Says: When making candy never scrape the sides of the pan or stir what has adhered down into the cooking candy. A few sugar crystals may. cause the whole mixture to granulate. To clean sponges place two cents’ worth of salts of lemon in a quart of boiling water and soak the sponge in it.

In Polly's new home, which was a rented one by the way, she found her curtaining problem was rather acute. The house was of the Spanish studio type, with rough plated walls in warm cream, The living room had four groups of windows, two of which had radiators immediately below. She needed something of heavy tex- ture to live successfully with the heavy walls. The material she wanted was too expensive, so she finally chose a bomespun in cream. At first she planned to make the curtains floor length, but since she wanted to use traverse or pulley cords and rods, she had the decorator re on apron length hangings. T made them casement hangings and as such were unlined. The only trimming was a ball Mx‘a‘n md'wtl;lr. ‘:lnunt blue, some yellow and 8 orange were the colors in the fringe.

THE MODE DEMANDS DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Pitiful Victims of Quarreling Parents Who “Stay Together for Children’s Sake.” Dm DOROTHY DIX—When I hear a disgruntled husband and wife, who have ceased to care for each other and who live together in strife, say that they will not get a divorce because of their children, I feel like raying to them: “Do it. Get a divorce. Far better for the children to have one par-nt, or no parent at all, than to have two who live together in enmity and who are bringing up their children in a house of discord.” ‘ For 1 have been reared in that kind of home and I know what it does | fo the children. My parents are wealthy and we children have had all the ad- vantages and luxuries that money can give and %o outsiders we seem fortunate mn‘ne" but in reality we are the most unhappy and forlorn children ia worlds For we havé been denled the first right of childheod, & norm healthy atmosphere in which to grow up and develop into manhood and womanhood. | .. Bver since I can remember 1 have heard my parents talk of divorce, w' they have “stayed together for the children's sake.”” when it would have ‘veen | & thousard times better for us if they had separated long ago. Better for us if they had put us in an orphan asylum, even, than to let us grow up in the kind of a home in which we have lived all of our lives. For a quarrelcome home blights children for life. It blights them in many ways. It blights their mental development and puts certain quirks and twists in them that it is im- possible for them ever to outgrow or overcome. Our home is a place of fear and Latred and unbridled passion, where | everything that should be sweet and lovely in a home bas been trampled under | foot. Our parents love all of us children very dearly, but they despise and loath | each other. My brothers and sisters and I are afraid to express an opinion | around home, for if we do our father and mother Will start to argue over it and it will lead to a row. We are afraid to show any afection for either | of our parents because it causes jealousy and deepens the antagonism between | them. So at home we live under a nervous tension continually. And one with ordinary intelligence should be able to imagine the warping effect of such an 'e!n\'lronmem upon & child, and especially upon & naturally high-strung, sensi- | ve one. .. “ 0. But that is not the worst thing it has done to me. It has made me wild and reckless and rebellious. I know that had I grown up in a normal, happy home I would be a far different type of girl from what I am. For at heart I | long for the true and beautiful and worth while things of life, but my char- acter has been distorted so that I am abnormal to a degree, All children naturally love their parents and want them to love each other. I can remember as a little child I used to cry for hours because my daddy and mother could not love each other, and I used to pray that God would make them learn to love and that they would make us a peaceful home as other children had. I think if parents realized how their children suffer when they quarrel, and the injury it does to the children, that they would try harder to get along together, PEGGY. ! Answer: T can add nothing to this pathetic human document that will | make its lesson more impressive. I can only say that I get many like it and | Mo letters that come to this column are so touching and so sad as those of | the helpless children who write and ask me how they can reconcile their par- ents to each other. “There is never any fun in our house because our mother and father are always quarreling,” one child will write. “How can I stop them so that every- thing will be pleasant and gay 8s it is at my friend’s?” And one sensitive little [ boy Wrote thet he had chills and fainted every time his father and mother had | one of their quarrels. Poor little souls with burdens too heavy for their young shoulders to besr laid upon them by their parents! Poor lttle pitiful things, the hapless victims | of the uncontrolled passions of their mothers and fathers! What a pity that those husbands and wives who make the sacrifice of living together “for the sake of the children” do not make the final sacrifice of denying themselves the leasure of quarreling and venting their venom on each other for the children’s | Pake. Unless they can do this and make a peaceful home, it is far better for | e 10 part, iy DOROTHY DIX. | opyright. ——————————————————— 1930.) Everyday Psychology W. SPROWLS.

Winter vegetables can be very mongt= onous If we don't prepare them intér- estingly.

If you understand what food is, you may be able to do more about this business of reducing. Don't smile at me for saying “what food is,” for food is many things. It's a pleasure, which may be either an esthetic or a greedy one, depending upcn the quality cf the cooking, and also upon the amount of time you have to eat a meal In. A quick Junch hurriedly bolted down does | not come under the esthetic heading. Food may be a dull necessity of life —in which case you eat just enough to keep yourself going, either from lack of money or lack of time. Lots of people are not interested in food; one dish tastes as good as another. It may also be a means of making you u- tiful or ugly—here again the cholce of food comes In, for bad food poisons you, you are heavy headed, stupid and have a bad complexion, whereas the right food will rebuild tissue, make you healthy, energetic, make you fat or sliin, 8s you require. And this sort of diet can be had by any one. I'll go Into details. To eat for health and good locks (sameé thing) you need about 10 per cent or more protein, 25 Per cent fat and 65 per cent carbohy- | drates in your daily diet. Too much or too little protein is bad, for protein repairs waste: children who are grow- ing and old people may need more than 10 per cent.
