There was driftwood fire burning on the
hearth, and from our places on the settee be

and sky all aglow with pink, and crimson,
and purple.
"Ah' gle me # 1rcr sqUie,.

ITS a good motto for fireplace, isn't it,
"Letitia has a poem for every occasion"
! observe to Pamela, but | have the best of

it to her.
"Let no lips take from hence

Letitia.
"And now that that is settled" say to
Pamela, may look around at everything as

THE PEASANT IDEA OF A HOME.
When | came to think about it realized
that the room was wonderful example of
peasant ideas adapted to our needs and manner
Of living. The crude spashes of color were
there the primitive types Of furniture were
there but the former were so wei! blended
and the latter so carefully selected that they
never offended our more cultivated taste.
The windows were hung with curtains of
plain, green glazed chntz. luminous Chinese
green. There was a bunty box-pleated valance
and curtains reaching to the sill. These were
turned up on the right side in a two-inch hem
on which was sewn half-inch gimp of the
orange-vermion of the SasheS.
The furniture for the most part was painted
the Chinese green There was the settee by
the fireplace, in green with stenciled designs in
orange The wing chair which stood on the
other side Of the hearth was covered in the
green glazed chintz with a boX-pleated valance
around the bottom. all edged with the orange
table which held matches and cigarettes and
a book or two.
On the other side of the chair was 4 tall
green wooden lamp with shade of orange
parchment striped in black and green. In
deed. ] found that all the electric fixtures,
which consisted. by the way, of candle-sconces
and candle sticks of wood or tin. were painted
green with the same lines Of black and orange.
long tin lantern painted green and paned
with orange-tinted glass hung from beam
near the fireplace.
EVEN TO THE HUTCH
In the corner behind the wing chair was an
interesting corner cupboard, with a drop leaf
which could be raised 20 receive the tea tray
The cupboard was green with the orange stem
Cling and it filled with quaint peasant
china in greens and yellows and black.

On the side wall between the two easement

| was unacquaintcd. Pamela explained that
this was a truly peasant piece called hutch.
l. was high chest on legs and it had two
drawers and two cupboards in which the table
linen and silver were kept. On the top OF TINS

daffodils.

furniture in the room, but there were besides
these several rush seated side chairs, small
table or two and a few we'll chosen pieces of
bric-a-brac.
"How do you like it," Pamela demanded
"It's enchanting" | replied "and you were
right; it is just what Letitia and needed
The service portion is through that door.
Would you care to see it?'
A BIT OF BRITTANY
And she led us into what might have been
real Brittany kitchen, with great dresser filled
with bright dishes and shining row of copper
cooking utensils. The walls were yellow and
the woodwork was blue and the window had
shade of checkered blue and yellow Bingham.
Leading from this was the maids bedroom,
the walls and woodwork like the kitchen and
furnished with plain simple pieces all painted
blue When add that the floor was blue, with
a blue and yellow striped rag rug in front Of
the bed. and that the bedspread was of the blue
and yellow checkered bingham, | am sure you
will agree that all was as it should be.
Pamela then led US up closed-in staircase
to the floor above, where there were three
good-szed bedrooms and two bathrooms.
THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM
We went first into Pamelas own room, which
was the one from which opened the little inside
window-"the eye that never sleeps" 1t was
as dainty and charming as Pamela herself.
The color scheme was gray and yellow, soft
pinky gray and a mellow buttercup yellow.
The walls were tinted in the gray and the floor
was carpeted with a soft carpet Of a darker
shade Of gray The furniture was all in the
buttercup yellow with stencilled designs in all
sorts of bright colors. blues and greens and
orange and yelows There were twin beds of
a curious design, the head and foot boards Of
the same height, with cross pieces forming
squares. Between these stood light stand with
an electric lamp in shape of wooden candle
stick. painted gray with yellow rings around it,
and plain buttercup yellow parchment shade.
\ plain little dressing table stood near the
long window with quaint Tyrol peasant char
before it, yellow like everything else with the
gay s,encilling and gray rush seat. On the
other side of the window there was chest Of
three drawers and a quaint peasant mirror

THE American housewife does not sus-
pect the variety of delicious dishes that
can be prepared from the plain egg
plant Many of the recipes given below are
originally from the South of France, where the
eggplant is favorite vegetable. In some small
cities near the Italian border it is sold in the
markets already cooked.
When choosing an eggplant, select one OF
medium size and firm. Otherwise it will be too
ripe and full of grains. The eggplant is re-
freshng and very digestible, but, however
great may be its virtues, remember that by
itself it is quite tasteless; season, and season
well
EGGPLANT SALAD
Put in the oven one eggplant, five green pep
pers and two tomatoes. Put the tomatoes TO
bake first, then the peppers, and last of all the
eggplant. Skin, grain and drain the vege-
tables crush, using all the time silver knife

two tablespoons of chopped onion. When
slightly brown, add it with the oil to the salad

and pepper to taste. To be eaten hot or cold.
