A woman took her kitten to a neighbors house one morning and asked if she could leave it there for awhile. The neighbor walked over to a door, opened it slightly, and said: Put her in there. Thinking it was a closet, the woman picked up the kitten and stepped through the doorway. Unfortunately. the door opened onto a stairway A woman member of a small country church was a pretty good organist. After considerable coaxing by her friends, she agreed to play the organ every Sunday morning. Nothing was said about a salary. After about two years, the woman decided that she was entitled to some compensation for her work and she filed suit against the church for two years pay. However, the court turned down her claim. The judge said that the woman's playing was presumed to be a labor of love." May You Collect Damages If You Fall Off the Gangplank of a Ship?

Appliques shades of blue at the corners add to the expense and the time it takes to make the set, but this is up to you. Those who want to make more elegant luncheon sets can choose weaves good cottons in linen-lik- e or rough textures, or linen itself. One effective edging uses lace which may be crocheted or purchased. Either sew the edging on with fine stitches, or crochet on if you are making some specifically for the doilies. A distinctly different and feml- - nine touch for luncheon sets is the use of eyelet ruffles. This is used on the two short sides of the doilies, and on one side of the napkin. After the doily is hemmed, it is applied easily to the reverse side of the hem. luncheon sets have mats Luncheon size napkins are made the same size.

Brides like having their linens monogrammed, and you might try this on any item if you are adept at either hand or machine sewing. Monograms may be purchased and then can be stitched to the material with any desired color in tiny stitches. If you crochet, square dollies to make a luncheon set would be extremely effective and lavish The napkins to go with these should be plain linen, with an edging of lace that goes with the crochet work on the doily. Inexpensive shower presents such as closet accessories are frequently well received now that closets are getting such great decorative attention. Two or three durable boxes which you may already have or can purchase, may be covered carefully with a durable wallpaper, and thus give a present which every bride can use. You may also use glazed chintz or some of the plastic materials on the market for coverings. VNITTING connoisseurs!

The man who loved her had a good job with the local electric power plant, and had been her beau since high school days. My answer to this woman was definitely no." This week I have another letter regarding a marriage between a sighted and a blind person; but this time the circumstances are somewhat different. Barbara also is 27, and the man is a war veteran four years younger. Barbara was his nurse through a long and painful hospital siege, and so they know each other pretty well. He has obtained a job, at only $80 a month, church. as organist in a near-bBarbara is head night nurse in a large hospital and makes three times as much. They could be comfortable in her hospital rooms. Hughs love and devotion to Barbara are the deepest and happiest emotions he has ever known. Raised, and somewhat neglected, by a busy father and stepmother, he has never known intimate lovAnd exactly ing companionship. that is what Barbara longs to give LAST YEAR, have been successful. But never to know whether or not her room and her kitchen, and the flowers in the sitting room, and the books In the cases, were in order; never to be able to drive to meet Carlton at the office, always to be the helped and the pitied one among a group of amusement-lovinfriends this would prove too hard a task. And, unlike other women, if her marriage went on the rocks, Ava-lin- e couldnt console herself with the bitter philosophy that after all, she might get her freedom, reform her life on more endurable lines. Avalme would have been handed over completely to Carlton, and her family would be relieved of what even she must realize is a burden. It would be impossible to go back. But, as I wrote her mother, a blind person is a burden only when that blind person is placed in a false position, and there are many positions in which blindness can be minimized almost to the vanishing point. While she can be at home with the mother and brother who love her, Avalme is as fortunately placed as she could be anywhere. But, as I wrote her, she would be wise to prepare for the time when her mother will not be with her, and the younger brother may marry. I suggested that she get in touch with whatever institutions handle the problems of the blind in her community; learn a hand craft, learn a language, just for the mental stimulus, open a few of the many doors that are open to those who cannot see. But when all is said, any marriage can be a success, any one can be a failure. Some conditions seem harder, some seem more ideal well YEAST BREADS made hot breads are positive guarantees that no menu can get into the doldrums. They can lift ordinary breakfasts to heighths; with salads or as sandwiches, they can spur luncheons to the winning menu class; and, for dinners or suppers, they can provide that extra touch that makes the meal perfection. If you have the time to spare, make a light yeast raised dough and spice it with cinnamon or nuts. When time is scarce, put together a quick, baking powder bread and serve with a flourish. glo-rio- LYNN CHAMBERS MENU Apricot Juice Ham Loaf Baked Sweet Potatoes Spinach Ring, Creamed Onions Cinnamon Nut Loaf Lettuce Salad Pmeapple Chiffon Pie Recipe Given y Our Improved pattern visual with easy-to-se- e charts and photos, and com directions makes needlework easy.
