a Man on 'Lisht Housekeeping.y


New Orleans Times Democrat.
Light housekeeping is a rather curious
sort of thing" said a man who has recently
launched a little venture of this sort. land
L lave been trying 10 figure out Just where
this system of keeping house got its name.
1t is a thing of modern growth. and sup
pose was brought into existence by some
food faddist, or by some person who con-
cluded that there was a more economical
way Of living than is found in the old and
ordinary way of keeping house. This is
probably why il is called light housekeep-
ing. Up TO this time ! am inclined TO be-
lieve that it is probably the cheapest way
10 live, and, II a man is Of a domestic turn
of mind. he will find il much more pIeasur-
able than boarding. He is at least king in
his own castle. which is something when
you come to think of it. The main thing
about il is that il discOurages this awfully
much. Actually l believe the world is eat
ing itself to death. / believe hat more
than ~ per cent. OF all bodily ills are due to
the practice OF overcrOwding the stomach
with all kinds of indiEestibles. Men Will
learn after a while that one-tenth Of what
they eat will keep them alive and that il
Will be much better for the whole system
II he Will exercise a little care about what
he eats. and cut off about nine-tenths of il,
If light housekeeping does nothing else II
will teach humanity this important lesson.
Why should a man spend so much time
and money in crowding his stomach with
stuff which his system does not need? 1t
Is not only s0nseleSs. but IL Is vulgar, pos
ittvely vulgar. and heathenish, and the
quicker men learn the lesson the better ii

Jones, the groom, sat on an up
turned bucket in the Mirnong stable.
He was shirt-sleeved, tanned, blue
eyed and big; he wore shabby mole
skins tucked into his leggings and a
wide-awake on the back of his head.
A beam of sunshine danced Justify
past the loose boxes; it was warm and
friendly, and Jones' eyes twinkled
through it at the Australian home
stead across the road. He had the
appearance of a man contented with
his lot
The stable was up English: it
was a great sinc-roofed shed with a
cemented floor, boxes-empty-on eth
er side. and one end open to the winds
of heaven. On the groom's left hand,
from where he sat in the opening, he
could see the yard. into which he
rounded up a score of horses when one
was wanted, and his own mare doing
beside it, hitched to the fence. The
horse paddock stretched away behind
it and lost itself after little in the

with the blue gum plantations daubed
on its monotony. A white gate stood
opposite to the stable: it shut in

at it, forgetful of the cause of his ex-

face in stinging lashes. How long

There was chorused murmur, and
the cook opened his mouth for further
comment But, if he made it, the sub
ject of his criticism was not among
the listeners; for Jones had slammed
the door behind him. and was boring
toward the stable through the down
pour.

crossed the bridge with a glance at
the tumbling yellow spate below it,
and swung into a long Looping canter
across the paddocks. Darkness had
fallen everywhere, except in the gray
corner of the western sky from whence
struggled the last watery CLEAN of
daylight,--Jones steered by the direc-
ton of the wind, the feel of the track
below the hoofs, the scattered honey
suckle trees that he alternately gained
and flung behind him. He struck gate

Mirnong homestead dwindled behind

Miss Allin had volunteered that

reasons of his own. did his work with
noise and without appearance. He
was appealed to once or twice when
the route was discussed. and he gave
his answer from the inner invisibility

ceeding that made the visitor mould

ants, and mould it unfavorably.

wind and rain combined to sting and
chill him. But il was not or the
weather that he'was thinking.
He was chewing the cud of reiiec-
lions that had troubled him for weeks;
and the taste of them was bitter.
Their gist was the old. yexed question
of whether the end, under the extenu-
ating circumstances, might JUSTIFY the
means. And for the life of him Jones
could arrive at no conclusion that sat

He had done il, to start with, for

station hands. was one that had filled
him at first with amazement, and then
with hot desire to stop the absurdi-
ty. She was so young, and so enthus-
iastic, that warnings would have been
wasted; and 1t was not for him to tell
her that she was as a babe in under
standing of the doctrines she enuncl-
ated.
She was still young enough to be alb
solutely positive of the entirety off
convictions, and still sufficiently guile
less to substitute catch words for COM
prehension. She would have gone
down. armed with her poor little
phrases to the society of Sawyer, and
the cook, and the boundary-rider-and
Jones would have had to sit and listen
to their after comments. They were
average men, better in their rough
moral code and their straight-hewn
views of life than many of those who
sat at her fathers table, but they were
men. And she was-O, she was a
