Breakfast Nook Still

The breakfast nook continues to

houses Of modern design, especially

left cut entirely and the breakfast
nook, large enough to seat Ave per-
sons comfortably. has been substi-

Farewell
In an incredibly short time
Danny was a soldier, a real soldier
in his uniform, coming to bid his
old mother good-by. He was going
cover There" at last. They had
their few flee ng sweet. sad hours
together. Then he kissed her and
walked swiftly away. Once he
turned and waved. She waved
back bravely, a small and old
woman with a white kerchief at
her throat and q handkerchief in
her hands. Danny knew he would
carry that picture of her with him
always. Then he was out Of sight.
She went inside to the empty
house and the empty rooms and
the emptiness Of life,
She was glad she had her work.
She was able to forget Danny's
absence and her fears. But the
nights We're times of torment
when she lay awake and thought
Of him and prayed.
Life again became a cruel thing
for Mother Mcguire. She was old
and none too strong Despite war
time conditions she was not able
to keep her job. She did not have
many qualifications. She began

seemed to have to invent a great

incredibly lonely. She lived only
for the time when Danny would
come home. God speed the day..
was one of her prayers.
And then she began to be ter
ribly afraid. Sometimes there
would be no letters from Danny
for long time. Sometimes she
had visions and dreams, and there
were always those old women ike
herself; and young to dilate on
the horrors of war and how. few
of the men would ever come home
well and strong.
The Vision
That was when her heart would
turn cold. Then one night a
vision, wonderful vision, came
to her. "I dreamed" she said to
her friends, II dreamed of Danny,
and he was smilin' an he said to
me, III be with you soon,' and
then, though / tried to call him
back I couldn't see him, an
woke up. Wasn't that a wonder
full dream?"
They pleased her by agreeing
with her and by saying that
it foretold only good and the
truth. But there were those.
who, when her back was turned,
touched their foreheads signifi-
cantly and in pity. Yet later
they had to admit to themselves
that there was more to her
dream than they could fathom.
For
only a few hours after she
had told them all OF her vision
a big numbering truck rounded
a corner too fast. 1t struck
old Mother Mcguire. She
was rushed to a. hospital.

said the doctor hopelessly, She'll

In a few hours, as was pre-

she breathed her last she raised
herself on her pillows, and a
smile suddenly lighted her old,
wr.inkled face. Danny" she
cried, as If she saw him. Danny
