We might as well be here, where we're coms fortable. “And you went through the war!" she said with a bitterness of intona- tion that made me smother a laugh in spite of my own anger at Dicky. “Come, Margaret, let's go to your fa- ther.

And soft, cistern water is delightful to use except that it will get black in the winter when If you do not have a specially con- | structed cistern that filters the water and keeps it fairly clear try putting half a pound of powdered alum in the water. The alum should be put into the cistern at night giving the water 12 hours to settle. Menu for Tomorrow. Breakfast—California grapes, cereal with top milk, buttered toast, marma- lade, coffee. \ Luncheon—Pigs in blankets. quick bran bread, stuffed baked apples, tea. Dinner—Cream of chestnut soup, beef loaf, creamed potatoes, stewed tomatoes, banana and peanut salad, drop cakes, coffee. My Own Recipes. When a fruit salad is served it is seldom necessary to serve an elabor- ate dessert. If a heavy sweet is to finish a dinner, a fruit salad is dis- tinctly out of place. Cookies, mac- aroons, or any simple little cakes give just a suggestion of a swcet course and make something to nibble at with the coffee. B Pigs in Blankets. 1 pint large oysters. 1:2 pound sliced bacon. Lemon juice. Salt and pepper. Wash and drain oysters.. Dry be- tween towels and season with lemon Jjuice, salt and pepper. If the oysters are very large, roll one in a slice of bacon and secure bacon with tooth- picks. If the oysters are not big use 2 or 3 to a slice of bacon. Put the “pigs in blankets” in a hot frying-pan and broil on first one side and then the other. Serve very hot. Stuffed Baked Apples. 4 large apples. 8 dates. Preserved cherries. 1 tablespoon butter. 4 tablespoon sugar. 1-2 cup water. Pare apples and cut a slice from stem end. Remove core. Remove cherries with the syrup. Put apples with 2 dates for each apple and 3 or 4 cherries with their cyrup. Put apples in a pan and baste with a syrup made of the butter, sugar and water. Bake in a moderate oven tili apples are tender. Serve with whipped cream or plain as baked. A poor dinner may be like a poor excuse—better than none. MARY.
