the girls, but his wife re-enforced
them and said they dident ask such
favors but twice year and were the
best daughters in the world, and she
thought he might spare hand for
day or two, and now he writes to mo

course not. The way to do is to do all
these little household jobs yourself.
You can take upa carpet and hang it on

is nothing but good fun. You can
hang q window curtain or put in
