Days fair are still be- ing granted us, strange ones, we are sure in the light of this sea- son. It seems as if April impat- ient in awaiting her turn of the it months. now intrudes into !bbru- ary's time. Not as an unwelcome visitor to some of us, yet we con- fess that sometimes in the midst of the gentle breezes and sunlight, the trickling streamlets and bare -fields and Spring-like conditions obtaining at present, we own to a longing to have an old-fashioned storm of Winter against the win- dows. But of course only when we know that all about are well and happy. and the stock fed and com- fortable. Then we should have contentment within, while out of doors the stark stxubbles and mud- dy resting furrows and drab pas- tures were being covered softly. Roofs too, and fence-posts and rails that heretofore had been rather bedraggled and unsightly, moulded in a depth of white, like the evergreen boughs and every tree and shrub down to "the mean- est twig." with the snowfall cov- ering the slopes of our valley to blend mill and pond and all ”unto the hills" into a picture at once bewitching and clean. James, we know, would not be one to share our enjoyment. I-le merely tolerates wintry, storms, breathing more freelybghen the wind changes to the west to write an end to the falling. O 0 0 These days at Alderlea, the fowls. roam the yards and near fields with the delight of Sum- mer, adding extra eggs to our stores and inviting, nay demand- ing us to rest any engrossing in- terest of the moment, and put our wit and skill tovmrds concocting some wholesome dish or another fr the family. Preferably a com- bnation of eggs and milk though it be only a simple custard or humble bread pudding, good as it is, or glorified by the addition of raisins or dates, an end of nut- meats or preserve. The thought returns other days to mind -days when familiar words like c r, radio, truck, tractor or the like ad no place in the conversation at all. We recall that in company with a family of farm-children, mostly of memory how, we ate and much enjoyed a supper dish of this kin. "You may call it what you like, Ellen" the housewife smiled in reply to our curiosity: "We call it, Tloatlng 1sland' -it's a pretty name. don't you think? and per- haps serves to make it more at- tractive. It's a fine way to make use of the small or cracked eggs. . . or double-yolked goose-egg. and very nourishing. I am sure." The eggs were scrambled. lightly and dropped into scalded and sweetened milk. There was a pinch of salt too. and for flavour a sprinkling of nutmeg. And as we "cut" along well-lmcwn fields in the afterlight or close to the edge of dusk towards home, we never could be sure whether it had been the food that had satisfied us so completely or other incidentals of the occasion. because there were other coiiulbutlng filcwrl. I O O The clean-spread table set be- side windows and the family gath- ered about it were tidy and pies- sant. From a sill. mauve petunlu spread their blossoming fragrance and on a corner-shelf near the light. in a discarded but quaint "golden" teapot. a green trailing plant grew.

Bleaching An easy method for bleaching sheets is to stretch them on the line and each time the sun dries them turn the hose on them. It will save the time of taking them down each time to wet them.

Seafood Spaghetti. unlike many of our favorite spaghetti dishes, is of American rather than Italian origin. It relies on seasonings used for New Orleans creole combina- tions for flavor. Serve a tray of assorted relishes such as green pepper rings, tcmato wedges, scallions, and cucumber sticks with the spaghetti.

By penguin fashions .Paris means the use of blackon white, white on black, but Jacques Helm, sloping his jacket closings and his hip pockets and using these tone combinations, calls his suits "Pen- guin Suits". And even in knit- wear Anny Blatt makes twin-sets with white stripes on black cardi- gans, black stripes on white pull- overs. which in France are simply called "pulls".
