.- WASHDAY.


,
II was a windy day. Washing days
are generally windy. Mrs. Tibbs lifted
her hands from the suds and felt OF
Aer crimping pins to make sure that
none OF them had slipped out, for the
sewing society met that afternoon. and
she wanted to look well, and she re.
marked with emphasis that "she wish.
ed to heavens that it didn't always
blow like sixty on washing days" And
she added rs meteorological fact that
ut blowed last Monday and q week
ago last Monday too"
Tibbs scratched bis head and gave
vent to his perplexed state Of mind by
exclalming, "Waal, by jimby, l don't
see what man can dor
I'll tell yeu what to do" said Mrs.
Tlbbs, whirling the clothes wringer
round with a will as she ground out
the grist of Tibbs' shirts and draw ers
into the clothes basket. you 20 and
nut IN that clotheslina and hang out
them clothes, The wind blows enough
to take a woman right off her feet"
Tibbs rose reluctantly. All men dread
the clothesline racket. 1t is irving to
the masculine nerves. Tibbs nut his
hand to his back and volunteered the
information that he "gncssed he was
eoiny tn hive another smell of lumbaco
into his snine."
Mrs Tihbs was not in the slightest
degree interested In Mr., Tjbbs' gloomy
authorizations. but went on wrestling
with tho the clothes.wrinqer and spat-
terinp the soans,,ds In every direction.
Mr. Tibbs mt IN his hat. buttoned
his coat tied bis neck I'D In red muf
fler and shiyered "seems to me-" he
remarked chat T feel a touch Of that
old sc;atica in nv hin 1o,nt."
"Now Won nut that clothesl,ne nm
