Christmas Gift for Housekeeper.

Today 1 am going to chat upon a
pretty good gift for any housekeeper
to receive this Christmas-and one
she can give herself. To be sure.
don't wish to imply that every house
keeper needs this gift, for many
women already have it. But there
are. oh, so many who don't possess it.
1t is the gift Of taking things cas-
ily-taking our disappointments cas-
lily. taking our failures easily, taking
our neighbors' opinions easily % and
taking life easily in general.
Now, / don't mean by that that We
should leave curls of dust lying be-
meath the chairs and plan our meals
about five minutes before the dinner
hour. What I refer to is a state of
mind. The most particular house
keeper in the world can have 1t.
But perhaps ] can best define my
meaning of the phrase by relating the
following true little story:
About ten years ago visited a
friend who lived in a small New Eng
land town. While there 1 met a
great many of her friends, among
them very prim neighbor-a Mrs. S
Mrs. S. is very highly esteemed in
the town" my friend informed me-
she is very conservative, and no
body could ever, criticize her. She
never wears extreme styles and
bright colors; she never goes to the
movies; and j suppose she has

Peter Is in the Tightest of
Places.

'Tis only when I'm caught and eaten
That III admit that am beaten.
Peter Rabbit.
A pity it is that there are not more
people like Peter. 1t would have
made successes Of a lot who are now
failures. No one has ever been in
tighter places than Peter Rabbit, yet
somehow he has always managed to
get out Of them. That is because he
has seemed to be no hope.
AS he crouched in Buster Bear 8
cave. watching Yowler the Bob Cat
at the entrance, Peter knew that
much depended on whether or not
Yowler would dare enter that cave.
and he hoped with all his might that
Yowler's fear Of Buster Bear would
make him afraid to enter. even
though he knew that Buster was not
at home.
The hope in Peters heart grew as
he saw how Yowler hesitated. Sew
and then backed out. Twice he turn
ed to stare all about him in the moon
light His funny stub of a tail
twitched with anger and tmpatience.
Plainly he was having hard work to
gain courage enough to enter that
cave.
But at last Peter saw a new light
in those fierce eyes as they once
more peered into the cave, and he
knew that Yowler had made up his
mind to enter. The fact is. Yowler
could smell Peter in there. and he had
decided that if Peter had dared go in
there, there was no reason why he
he had got to stay there. He hadn't
| a doubt that he would find and catch
Peter within minute or two. Then
| he would carry Peter outside and
! away where he need not worry about
Buster Bear. SO stealthily he entered
| that cave.
! Peter was in despair. What should
, he do? What could he do? Iowler
! was bound to find him. 1t was useless
| for him to try to get past Yowler. 1t
seemed to Peter that this time surely
he would lose his life. And then he
! remembered something. He remem-
bered that in one corner tiny cave
opened with a narrow entrance from
the larger cave. Peter waited no
longer. With d bound. he made for
that little cave, and just in the very
nick of time squeezed through that
narrow entrance.
He was none too soon. At his first
movement Iowler had seen him and
bounded forward. AS he struggled
through that narrow entrance, Vow
ler's claws scratched his hind legs
Peter screamed with pain and fright
and Yowler snarled with disappoint-
ment.
That little cave was very small. 1t
was hardly big enough for Peter to
turn around in. Now he crouched
just as far back in it as he could get
There was need for him to. Yowler
after trying in vain to tear away the
entrance. had thrust a paw ina paw
with great hooked claws. stretched as
far out as possible-and was trying
to hook them into Peter. Only by
fattening himself against the back
wall could Peter keep out of reach
of those cropping claws. Two or three
times they scratched him and tore
little tufts of hair from his coat.
Peter was in the tightest of tight
places. ard he knew 1t. And. oh. how
he did long for the dear Old Briar-
patch and wish he had had sense
enough to stay there!
IF 1 ever get out of this. I'll never

Eggs That Tempt the Ap-
petite.

Eggs are certainly one of the great
est delicacies Of our tables. Think
what cooking would be without them!
Yet when it comes to serving eggs
themselves as a food many of us neg
lect mastering more than one or two
ways of doing so-scrambled. boiled.
fried, poached and in an omelet. per-
haps, but no more.
Creamed eggs in many ways are
delicious. Make a thick cream sauce
poached eggs-the boiled eggs either
sliced or cut in halves. Sometimes
add grated cheese to the cream sauce,
sometimes add minced parsley. some
times add a lot Of paprika, sometimes
slip the eggs covered with the cream
sauce to brown in a hot oven or un-
der a gas broiler.
And then omelets. They have end
less possibilities. You can add almost
any bits of leftover vegetables you
have on hand. Cut them neatly and
heat them in a skillet with a little
butter, then fold them in the omelet
when you roll it over. And minced
meat of any sort may be mixed in
with the beaten eggs before you turn
them into the pan. You can make an
omelet for dessert by adding sugar to
the mixture and serving it, if you
wish, with d sweetened sauce.
Moreover, the usual standbys may
be served in attractive and different
ways. Take ham and eggs. Cut the
ham in rounds and place carefully
fried eggs, one on each round Of
ham. For bacon and eggs. cross two
crisp strips of bacon over each egg
when you serve it. For another ham
and egg dish. broil little slices of
broiled ham just minute and pile in
