HOT BREADS FOR BREAKFAST
Our breakfast menus have under-
-gone a radical change since the days
when our fathers and mothers set uP
housekeeping. 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

ard
ustand is baked too fast. A -knife blade

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.

If you get some faintly ruled
paper used in designing, known as
"squared" paper, you will save
much of your time, and also find
that the squared paper will tend to
assist you in creating new motifs,
easily and quickly.
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. Make a rhythmical ar-
rangement for a border, using only
straight lines and dots, somewhat
similar to the borders shown in the
lower section. of FIG. 163. Use your

possible, as you will develop mors
