1t Isn't All Peaches and Cream
q when WHEY Is Busy. ~
Many Savannahians are living rath-
er strenuous life just at present. It
will be several days, too before af-
fairs will be running along just in the
same old way with these folks
These people who are so very busy
are discovering things. They have
moved into new apartments and they
are learning a lesson that is learned
every moving season. In many cases
fault is already being found with the
new places OF abode and on the first
day of next October there will be more
moving. g.B1
This is not so in all cases by any
means, for there are not a few who
believe that they have at last found
the ideal house. And 1t will be some
little while before the. illusion fades
away in these cases and the conclu-
sion Is reached that the first home is
the best and dearest after all.
There are a great many things going
on in these houses. that have new oc-
cupants, and the male members of the
families are eitherfpatronizing the res
taurants or going hungry. Regular
meals cannot be expected where there
is so much confusion, and even if they
were, it would do no good. Then, too,
folks must not expect to sleep late
when there is. so much to be done
around the house, for everything should
be in apple pie order by Sunday.
First of all there must be a thor
ough cleaning of the new apartments,
and this means barrels Of dirt for the
L.
a rather busy individual just at this
time Carpets must be laid. curtains
must be put up and pictures must oc-
cupy the same positions that they did
in the old home. OF course II takes
time to do all of these things, and men
have got no business around the house
when women folks are hard at work.
1t only complexities matters.
But this may have nothing to do
with the fact that twenty minutes
after the gong sounds the lunch coun-
tiers look like Texas cyclone has
struck them. or with the glad smile
that has, appeared on the face of the
saloonkeeper for the first time since
last moving season. There is nothing
that makes the saloon man smile like
the chimes OF the cash register and
that's the sort of music that he is
enjoying this week This moving fad
makes business IOT every DOQy-e0CSpt
the man who sells school books. 1t
is unfortunate for him because books
that can be used again come to light
while the household effects are being
distributed.
But it is not all serious. Oh, no,
there are numerous features-that Is
humorous to the. other fellow. These
funny situations would fill several
books. But the, man who drops from
the bed that has been put together in
a hurry. and bumps his head good
and hard, or jumps out hurriedly to
count the Big luke, and lands in a
nest Of tacks. can't see what the idiot
in the adjoining house, his new neigh
borhood, is laughing over. But there
are things that can never be explained
and one is why the misfortunes of one
should be comedy for the other.
This is Satan's season, too. His
Satanic majesty is just about as hap
py as he can be. 1t is a sin to even
think, let alone say, bad words. Now
wouldn't 1t make your trousers shrink
or to better express it. how would
you feel, and what would you say,
II you discovered your prize razor
missing your pet shaving mug in
two parts, the paregoric bottle with
the cork out, and on its side, ana
cute little baby shouting like a motor
cycle, all at the same time? Wouldn't
this make you love your Home Sweet
