by the way" said Mr.. Jobson, see
ing that Mrs. Jobson didn't feel like
arguing, what do we want with an
SIS gas range?"
swell, we've been needing one for a
good many summers past" said Mrs.
Jobson. They're so convenient and
so much cooler than coal ranges. and
during the hot weather the house
would be so much more endurable after
dinner if"
oh" interrupted Mr.. Jobson. 81

you. There are not going to be any
more dinners in this house after to-day
until the LIST of October"
"No more diuners?~ said Mrs. Job
son. with puzzled look. MFR. Jobson.
| hope you are not going back TO any

schemes that you tried last year and
made such dismal fail"
Never you mind about the schemes
that tried last year. Mrs. Jobsou-
this is another year" said Mr.. Jobson.
severely. at would be mighty good
scheme all around if you could elm
mate that little habit you've got of
casting up things that happened in the
icthyosauTian period. When / say that
there are going to be no more dinners
served in this household after to-day
until the list day of October | do not
mean that we're not going to have any
dinners. I suppose you'll at least do
me the justice to admit that you've
got enough to eat all these years, won't
you?"
But if there are to be no dinners
here. how in the world"
This" said Mr.. Jobson. with the all

good many years, and now I'm going tC
put it into practice. Mrs. Jobson, il j:
barbarous and unnecessary for people
living in these ATTITUDES to cook and
eat their dinners in their own houses
during the torrid season. There's nc
sense in it. 1t is wholly uncalled-foI
infiiction upon the mistress of the es
tablishment to demand of her that she
stand over a cook andIwatch her wher
the mercury is kissing in the bulb
and it's not going to happen around
here any more. We're going TO take
our dinners out until the LIST of Octo

''At the restaurants" said Mr.. Job

Then Wen return TO our cool house

a good thing in lots of ways, one o

diet, which everybody needs once il

one restaurant. but Wen give EN- all ;

dinner around at different places anS
amid different scenes every day. It'll
relieve the monotony tremendously

when we've been doing it until the Is

the scheme that you'll feel like break

Bedouin life, from the eating point o

"But," said Mrs. Jobson, "don't yol

for the waiter TO serve you, and how
! 'No, Mrs. Jobson, don't know any

.cisively. "You've got me mixed Will
somebody else. You just meet me a

four, and Wen go and have our frs

thank me then for suggesting thu
