Your Home and You
THE BREAKFAST CORNER
By HELEN KENDALL

One would think that new and novel ideas in home arrangement would come/to an end, and indeed they do seem to have done so in the homes in so many of our unattractive city streets. It takes home ma CT of real vision and imagination to transform one of these conventional houses into places of beguiling hooks and corners, with odd little architec. tural and decorative devices that change the entire effect of tho h. terior.
 It was such dull house as this that recently challenged its new oc- cupant to do something about it. The dining room, for example, was a square, plain enclosure at the rear corner of the house, with one win dow at the side and one at the back. There was not much outlook from either window and only slanting rays of begrudging sun.
 the room thoughtfully. They were buying the house, so she could do what she pleased with 1t. but she did not want to spoil it's exterior lines. Finally the idea came. The actual corner of the room, and of the house, was about six feet from the window, on each wall. This corner was dark etHu was OSCuplcu pN C0lna cup board placed diagonally across it.
 Into these two walls the home- maker had wide windows built, form ing a three-cornered window nook with full outside light and full morn- ing sun. Below the windows she in- stalled upholstered seats. and in the angle in front of the seats she placed little round breakfast table,
 At the diagonal line across the cor ner, from one window frame to the other she stretched pole, and hung from it gay curtains in an Indian pattern. When the curtains were partially drawn, the little breakfast nook was visible from the dining room as charming bright vista, across the little table into the green outdoors. A pretty lunch cloth, a bowl of fruit and a hanging basket of ferns swinging in one of the win dows. and the whole dining room was delightfully."- transformed

THE COOKBOOK NOOK

Very often there is no convenient place on the kitchen shelf for the lit- tie library of cookery upon which the young housewife is so dependent Either the cookbooks have to share shelf with the coffee percolator and the electric toaster. against both of which they are apt tG tumble now and then, or the only available shelf is either too high to be reached easily or so low that the books get spattered with the flying drops of batter or the rising vapors of grease.
 Why not follow the scheme of bride of my acquaintance, who had a Cookbook nook" built and hung on her kitchen wall, just beneath tho high window? It was a simple pine box Ca soap box, if the truth be told) but it was painted white on the cut side, with coat of shiny enamel over the paint, and it's inside was painted and enameled the glowing shade of ultra blue which she had worked out in her floor linoleum and tfe tiled halfwalls of the room. It was just deep enough to hold the three~Gr four volumes of recipes in constant use- one for general cookery. one for sal the volume of planned meals con- piled by an expert. In addition. there was space for her most valued pos- session, an indexed card-file of spe- cial dishes, which could be and was added to from time to time.
 This little booknook hung just shoulder-high where she could lift a book down quickly and easily. On top of 1t was a dull blue pottery bowl filled with few silky branches of bitter-sweet and bayberry, mingling their gray and orange and laying them against the blue of the sky.
 Some way 1t makes my booknook seem like a little corner of my living room or library said the bride. And by the way, she continued, "Tr an advocate Lf the new, soap box ora tory! stand on this stout, blue painted soap box to reach the higher shelves in my pantry, and deliver speeches on the enfranchisement of through scientific man. agement. A jolly blue soap box is my potato bin, and another stands tn the back porch to hold empty milk bottles and full ones.
 But my soap box cookbook nook Is my happiest use Lf this homely convenience. and 1t makes a handy and appropriate bookcase for any kitchen. l assure you"

CHAPTER
 Mary Dallas and winifred Scott talked late into the night. Girls who have been closely associated through four school years and are about to part have much to say to each other. So the clock in the nearby town had chimed half-past twelve before the pair decided to sleep.
 T cannot realize that by this time tomorrow you will be far away" Winifred sighed. And It may be years before we meet again.
 Perhaps not practical Mary ob- served "Everyone returns to New York sooner or later. Who knows, with a little giggle. but what may so there on my honeymoon trip?"
 T wish you were going to marry .New Yorker and live near me-. Winifred observed. T have been away from home so much that have gotten out of touch with lot of New York people. l shall feel almost like a stranger there myself
 You will soon settle down in your own circle again." Mary affirmed: "i should think you would look for ward with pleasure to being at the head of your fathers house-enter- taining with him, and all that
 But he does not care about en- tertaining," Winlfred explained. T; almost frightens me when I think how lonely I shall be. There is nobody who calls, at our house often now that mother is gone-except Mir. Muir"
 He is a peach." Mary remarked "I wish he called at my house. But I would lose my heart to him-l know I would"

 How old is he?" Mary asked.

LANTERNs HELP DECORATION

Perhaps you have an uncheerful corner that needs . low light by night and spot of color near the ceiling by day. And perhaps you do not care to fuss with making an elaborate share or to lay out vast sums of money to buy one. Then try using an ordinary paper lantern.
 Now the arrangement shown in the picture would have been totally un- interesting and ineffective if it were not for the yellow lantern suspended from the ceiling on it's heavy chain. The lantern itself is one of those Chi nese affairs that we used to swing about the gardens in the old days when garden parties were In order. But the chain that holds it is a series of black lacquered rings and then the tassel that drips from its base Is made of heavy black silk threads fastened to a red shiny round bead. An electric bulb Is dropped inside the lantern and, though the corner Is dark all through the day, that light can be flickered on at any time, sending a sunshiny glow all over the corner. That glow is made more effective. too. because the screen which stands against the wall is of gold paper so that it reflects the yellow light that comes from the hanging lantern.
 Sometimes in secondhand stores you can find old lanterns for little or no money that make corner of a room take on a new tone and an added interest. Then the ingenious person can-always do . bit of carv- ing from wood or cutting from card board to make one of them by hand and one that exactly suits the char acter of the room in which 1t h to be placed.

DREAMS OF A HONEYMOON

 | This, part I. of the chapter on Dreams About a Honeymoon, is for married women only. particularly those whose real honeymoon Is some years past.
 | To dream that you are on a honey moon trip with your husband, and that you are very happy, has a bad meaning. It signifies that love will l fly out of the window and that. dur ing many sad hours. you will dream of the days when you and he were | like two turtle doves. It is not pos sible to say offhand just what will bring this estrangement about. You count of the dream; then, perhaps, l may be able to find something in 1t that will serve as 0 hint as to how to avert the tragedy: ] If you dream. however, that you are on a honeymoon trip with your husband and are continuously quar- reling with him, the sign IS good. You and he will undertake trip. you will have a splendid time and Will almost feel aa\ though you had just been married.
 A dream in which you are on honeymoon with a man not your hus- band is also a good omen. It hints that someone vii admire you very much. that your husband will grow | jealous and that, as result, ne VIII 1 be more attentive than ever in order to hold your love.
 A significant dream is one in which l the sleeper believes herself to be in the company of a honeymooning cou- pie. The meaning of it is that you will have such a couple as guests at your house and that their presence will lead to disagreements between you and your husband.
 To dream that your mother is on l her honeymoon Is a sign that she will 1 not get along with your husband. 1t does not matter whether your father is alive or dead; the meaning of the dream is the same.
 l If you have a dream that you are on your honeymoon with your hus- band and become separated from him | in some way, you may know that he will be compelled, by business or for other reasons. to leave you for con- | siderable time.
 l And if you dream that you leave him in the couhse of the honeymoon, | then a family affair will take you away from your home for quite spell.
