charming corner in which to dine with
gay and charming friends than a
dinette in a newly established home.
There are bright chintz curtains
that her own pink fingers have stitch
ed. One slides onto the creamy col
ored, high backed bench and notes
with pleasure the carefully set table.
There is the table LINEN newly emery
ed from moth balls and hope chest; the
silver which Mothers treasured pen
MES have bought; and this jolly china
was given by This" favorite Aunt and
Uncle. The candle sticks stood by
cher" bookcase at school, and we're
eating by candlelight tonight because
I'VE have company.
One thinks it is great to be company
in such interesting circumstances; to
sit opposite buoyant youthful host;
to be waited upon by his rosy gleam-
ing wife; to talk profound thoughts,
to laugh very much; to eat very much
Of course, the rosy, cleaning wife
sits opposite also, but she waits upon
her company. There is no silvery bell
to tinkle, there is no efficient Bridget
to answer and assist. Oh no, that
would spoil the delight of dinette
entirely. The cook is maid and enter
tainer, as well as hostess. The meal
though delectable, is simple. 1t is
built around one dish of which plenty
is made and which is very good.
Perhaps the piece de resistance" is
waffies made at the table with apple
and raisin sauce and little pork saus-
ages. Perhaps it is eggs au gratin,
pulled piping hot from the oven with
toast and tomato onion salad. Perhaps
it is rich cream of spinach soup, again
with dry toast, baked potatoes, cole
slaw and apple roll. Perhaps it is Red
Devil with blushing salad topped off
with high cream pie
But whatever she chooses, we know
it will be delicious, even though we
may catch glimpse of her beforehand
studying her cook book with thought
full forefnger and puckered brows.
And what is in a brides cook book?
Peeping over the shoulder of one, I'll
smuggle away some of her treasures.
