Its Time to Personalize Your Home
t . ■- - —■ - -
MANY people today have more skill as house-furnishers
than as home-makers. Intent upon the efficiency and
space-saving necessary to modem living, they forget to
add the final small touches that give a house personality.
Perhaps grandmother overdid things—but when you
walked into her house you could tell whether she was
handy with her crochet needles, or whether her talents
ran to china-painting and indoor cultivation of geraniums. 41
No matter how handsome a decorator’s sketch may
appear, it’s a mistake for you to copy it in every detail.
Your home should reflect you—and your own individual
likings. /
In today’s hustle and bustle, take time for little extras.
Cover your stools with needlepoint, if that’s your taste,
or your walls with impressionistic paintings if your lean
ings are more modern.
Take your favorite pitcher out of your china cupboard;
fill it with flowers and place it on the hall table for every
day enjoyment.
Hang that handsome plate you received for a wedding
present upon the wall, instead of hoarding it for semi
annual dinners.
It’s a good idea to strive toward graciousness as well
as personality in your house. To make your guests like
you, as well as your home, remember small courtesies
like fresh fingertip towels in the bathroom, books on the
bedside table, or a special set of cosmetics in the drawer
of the guest-room vanity.
This guest enjoys her stay in a house that has both
personality and graciousness. Fingertip towels, fresh
daily, add to the home’s hospitable atmosphere and
enhance the decor of the bathroom.

Boxes Piled High in 2-Room Apartment
Resemble Rear of Grocery Store
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Greetings to one and all. It will
soon be time to watch for the tu
lips and hyacinths to come up.
Did you plant any tulips last
fall? We put out 60 new ones,
two or three
differend kinds
of parrot tu
lips, and quite
a variety of
colored ones,
also some of
the early dou
bles. For the
money invest
ed, tulips do
not offer very
very good re
Blanche Spann turns. At least.
Pease they don’t at
our house, they
run down so quickly. Even the
sturdiest type did little for us
last year. But when spring comes
the heart is so hungry for color
that a few tulips mean more than
a profuse assortment of flowers
will later on.
Daffodils or narcissus give you
a much better return for the
money. I have about 40 purchas
ed 3 or 4 years ago that are nicer
and there are more of them each
spring. We put out 75 more of
them of all different kinds last
fall. Daffodils need only to be
dug up every few years and they
multiply and become larger, too.
They are quite hardy and us
ually bloom before the tulips,
their colors are so attractive
and sprightly, too.
Of course, we look forward to
the iris season. Barring a late
freeze, about a hundred new iris
we put out should come into
bloom this spring, and possibly
some of those planted last sum
mer (I hope so).
So each day, as we repoice ov
er the blossoming of old iris,
there should be iris coming into
blossom that are new to us. It
ought to be an exciting iris sea
son!
Some of my new ones are El
| mohr, Prairie Sunset, Peachblow,
China Maid, Great Lakes, Jake
1 (which I had before), Old Parch
ment, Amigo, Artie, Christabel,
Louvois, Wabash and Lady Mohr.
Amigo is another new one.

You Can Get Bruised
Stumbling Around Furniture—
Mrs. Henry Benze, of O’Neill,
wins our 3-months’ subscription
this week:
O’Neill, Nebr.
Dear Blanche:
Every week I read in your col
umn you need letters badly, so I
thought I would do my part and
I write you a few lines.
Since I last wrote you we have
moved from a large seven-room
house to two large rooms. And,
jOh boy, is it ever a chore to try
to arrange the furniture so any
one can walk around without
getting bruised bumping into
furniture and toys! And in one
i corner of the bedroom we made a
storage room and boxes are piled
up high, looking like the rear of
a grocery store.
When I go to look for some
thing. I dig and dig. boxes fall
and the whole house is a mess.
Here are a couple of Easter
ideas I like very much:
For your centerpiece on the
dinner table, make you favorite
cake in layers. Frost with a 7
minute white frosting. Tint some
: coconut green and while frosting
is still not quite set make a nest
on the top of the cake with coco
nut and when frosting is set, add
the colored candy Easter eggs
; and place chocolate bunnies,
chickens or the colored candy
eggs around plate. The young
sters get a big kick out of this.
Here is a good salad:
Make a nest of shredded let
tuce, place half of a canned pear
round side up. Add ball of white
cream cheese for tail, pimiento
for nose, almonds for ears. Cut
carrot and parsley in front of
nose. Chop coconut fine and
sprinkle over pear for fur.
Here is my favorite rye bread
recipe:
RYE BREAD
One package granulated yeast,
2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sug
ar, 2 tablespoons shortening, 1
tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon
caraway seed (optional), 2 table
spoons cornmeal, 3 cups liquid
(milk or water), 2 cups rye flour,
about 8 cups of white flour.
Dissolve yeast as directed on
package. In a large mixing bowl
mix together salt, sugar, melted
shortening, molasses and liquid
(liquid to be lukewarm). Add 2
cups of the flour and beat thor
oughly. Then add yeast and beat
well. Then add commeal, cara
way seeds, rye flour and remain
ing white flour, small amounts at
a time until the dough is quite
firm.
Knead for several minutes. Put
into greased bowl in warm place.
Let rise until double. Punch
down. Do this twice, then divide
dough into 2 parts and place in
well greased round bowl with
the rough side up. Let rise until
double, then turn into greased
cake pans and place immediately
in a preheated oven at 425 F. for
20 minutes, then 375 F. for 40
minutes. If after baking for 20
minutes at 375 F. the bread seems
quite brown, turn to 350. If you
prefer, you can place bread in
the regular bread pans and do
not turn onto other pans. I like
the round loaves of bread the
best.
I hope these ideas and recipes
will help someone.

Suffering in silence is a noble
thing, it’s true, but I’ll take less
nobility and more relief with flu.
Nobody believes m miracles
these days, the man says. Hah.
How mistaken he is. Beauty par
lors are swarming with people
who believe in them.
In Hollywood they bring out
a book of “Whose Who’s” every
month in order to keep up-to
date on who is married to whom.
S6il conservation has meant i
avings to the farmer in seed,
fertilizer, labor, and power, and
increased volume.
