NOTHING THE MATTER WITH
A BREAKFAST PARTY
Story 128
Everybody knows there are two
sides to every question. And every
body knows that there is more
than one sort of good time, and
more than one place where you can
have a good time. You have been
hearing a lot about the good times
down on the Creek, so let's leave
those times, and look in on tne
times of the Hill Country.
And now it's Sunday again at
Mountain House. Beautiful, bright,
Everybody sleep
been able to take a lot of those
little boxes out, and put back some
empty ones to be filled by the bees
with more honey.
They all straggled out of bed,
one by one, to ask about break
fast, but Bettie tells them all to go
back and make up their beds, and
tidy up everything, and is they
have time left over, they can go
out and sit in that beautiful sun
till she calls them. And when
Bettie tells folks what to do, she
doesn't just hint at it; she gives
orders, and so everybody was in a
hurry to fix his bed before Bettie
called out that breakfast was
ready. They didn't want to be
tied up on anything else when the
cakes and honey came on the table.
After a while oh, such a LONG
while, Benny thoughtBettie
went to the door and said: "Now
you can come and eat such cakes
as I have made, but don't say a
I word if they are not just right,
The griddle just won't heat right,
this morning." It is a fact that
the nice bready Bmell of those cakes
nearly pulled those children over
Grandpa, while they were trying
to be polite by letting him go in
first.
And now let that crowd down at
Bear Creek have their supper of
ginger cake and cider. Let them
have their big, cold, full moon
Let them have their big fire place,
with a knothole for the smoke to
go out through. Let them have
everything they can find, down in
their beloved and talked about
Creek Country, but they don't
have anything better than a sunny
fall morning in the mountains,
with a cottage by the side of

corn cakes on the table, as fast
as a hungry bunch of parents and
grandparents, children and grand
children can smother them with
honey and theml Even Howler,
who had thought that the Creek
suppers were just about the best
that COULD be, had to tell Bettie
that if anybody could make any
better cakes and coffee than she
had made, he hadn't found her
track yet That got him three
more smoking hot cakes and a
smile from Bettie that made him
need less honey on the lot.
It was a lazy, hazy day in the
mountains. The butterflies just
flapped around from a beautiful
purple flower to a more beautiful
yellow or red one, and wiggled
about and didn't know which flower
to visit next, while even that busy
little bee that we talk about so
much just zoomed around about
half as fast as he does in the sum

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
During this period of emer
gency, be more careful than ever
of burning foods. We can't afford
to waste foodstuffs. Also poor
coffee or tea is as good as wasted,
so we should learn to make good
beverages and to cook appetizing
dishes so they will all be eaten
or drunk.
Tax the new income. That leaves
us out, but gets the folks who
are making extra out of the war.
This three shift business re
lieves the housing shortage, 'cause
beds can work in three shifts, too.
