K 6 B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NUVUMBER 14, 1920. Starting In Recipes fc : 1 3 ? 1 ! Anew ihere are many' heroes and herohres in life who never get 'on the pages of fiction. Vet, from some standpoints their accomplish ments under great difficulties, they surely are in the bero crass. I have iu mind, the easeof the Curran fam ily. Once, they were much endowed with this wprld's goods. Then through a series of misfortunes they lost most . everything. They lost everything except -hope. They wanted another home and instead of sitting down bemoaning the unkind ness of fate, they sat calmly and planned. There were two children, and they were too young to go to school. Yet, the mother decided to work. She put the youngsters in a day nursery and the once wealthy Currans came to live in a room and kitchenette. Rut they had hopes. It was under stood that the mother put her earn ings toward a nest egg for another lay. Her money was never touched. The father's earnings supported the family in a very moderate way. s , At the end of two yaars, the mother's total earnings amounted to ?1,5D. And then they began the new home. They w4nt to a build ing and loan company and arranged a $500 payment on a darling litfTe six-room bungalow. There were two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room and a spare room as well as a tiny bath. It must be remembered that these folks were without furnifcire, and the way they managed to get a very attractive home together is worthy of our consideration. Their first pivchase was the beds. These were to sets of twin beds. The bed steads were plain white enamel. They were obtained at a bargain second hand. But they decided that they preferred new springs and mattresses. Of these they bought n excellent quality They pur . chased four feather pillows. They had thre sets of good -quality cot ton sheets and pillowcases for each bed, as well as a planket and coun terpane for each. The children's room had nothing but a bed and two small chairs in it, for since they were still quite young, mother Curran took charge of their dressing. But fathers and mother's room why it, of course, was fur nished much more comfortably. It h,ad one of the new grass and wool rugs on the flopr. This was chosen because it is inexpensive, artistic as to pattern and has excellent wearing properties. Since the woodwork was of an oak finish,, . the rug was two tones of btown. The casement curtains were two onesof brown and orange, with a'bit of cool green ind a tracing of black. The wicker furniture, con sisting of a straight chair, a rocKer and a low stool, was stained a soft shade of tan. Cushions of the same pattern chintas as was used for the curtains were used on the chairs. A dressing table was improvised from a packing box and covered in plain tan art linen with a bit of sim ple embroidery in orange and black. Since these folks decided to pay cash for all their furniture, for a long time the living room had to do service not only as a living room, but as a dining room aswell. Here again wicker or wil6w furniture was again chosen. This type of fur niture does not go out of style. They chose a wool and grass rug in two tones of blue. The furniture was stained a French gray to match the woodwork. Plain blue art cloth was used as casements and on the chair cushions. A soft yellow" was used" on the walls of the kitchen. A second hand table" was enameled in white and a pretty Japanese towel under a piece of glass cut to fit was used when father had to leave home early for work. The bathroom was kept white -with a border suggestion of CQpl-sea-green. One-Egg Pumpkin Pie. , 2 cups canned pumpkin. y3 cup brown sugar.

Pour cooked oatmeal or cookipd minute Japioca over the apples and bake itfa moderate oven Ontil apples are soft; serve with su gar and cream. Pork would not be pork without apple sauce, but if the apple sauce is not at hand it is a very simple matter to prepare I s Apple Cobbler. Place a layer of chopped apples in the bottom of a round pudding pan which has been well oiled. Sprinkle generously with sugar and a bit of grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Make the baking powder biscuit dough as for dumplings, adding more liquid to make' the mixture soft enough to drip from a spoon. Bake in a mod erate oven until the apples are soft and the crust brown about 30 min utes. When done turn the pudding onto a plate upside down so that the apples are on top. Cut into wedge-shaped pieces and serve with cream and sugar or hard sauce.
