The crisp, ready -to -eat cereals have lightened the task of the homemaker. Eggs in one form or augther have generally replaced the •array" o& meat dishes that used to be considered indispensable, Fruit has beptite an almost invariable feature -the menu for the first meal of the ct 1t aeslsect to hot breads, however, our breakfast habits have not greatly changed. We still feel that muffins, scones, toast or a piping hot slice of corn bread help us to leave the table feeling well fortified with good (food for the day's work; and with so many varieties of hot breads to choose, front there is every reason to continue to• give them the import- ant place they deserve. Bran corn meal muffins will whet the breakfast appetites of the entire family, and in addition the bran con- tent will help to provide the "bulk" that all normal people require to keep the system working properly.

CUSTARD TO SUIT ALL Baked custard can be sophisticated enough for the most discriminating adult taste, and at the same time simple enough for the child's des- sert, if it is well made and if the flavor is varied from time to time. It is especially good with a foundation of sweetened condensed milk. Careful cooking is essential to a good baked custard. The best way is to place the dish containing It in a pan filled with hot water to the depth, of the custard and bake in a slow' oven, This insures a firm, even texture, and prevents the separating that occurs sometimes when the cust- ard ustand is baked too fast. A -knife blade inserted will come out clean when custard is„ Baker( Custard %, cup sweetened condensed milk,. 214 cupa hot water, 8 eggs, % tea- spoon salt, Grating of nutmeg.

Take a damp towel, place the gloves be- tween the folds and leave them there for a few hours before wearing. The damp will stretch the skins and the gloves will be easy to handle. QUIET THINGS By Mary Charlotte Billings. When days are full of discord, And every moment brings Its share of strife and worry, I think of quiet things— Quiet things and calm things— Lov+ely things like these: Dim woods at nightfall, Snow on hemlock trees. A cherry tree in blossom, Cobwebs hung with dew, Yellow leaves drifting down. With sunlight slanting through, Behind closed lids I see them— Again and yet again— Curling wisps of wood smoke, Violets in the rain. 13 One -Piece fry Shoulders t m Hem illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Furnished With Every Pattern drQ Woltewal icutb �•°�^�° All meds reaorved.

Then you may get some grey or other colored paper (not too dark). Now you may try out creating de- signs in various colors and what a delightful occupation this is for amateur designers. If you prefer it, you can rule the paper yourself, using a hard lead pencil and keeping the lines very light, so that. they will be easily rubbed out.
