no more washing on Sunday. Yesterday
after the members OF the household had
enjoyed their mornings bath she dis
covered that an apron was so much soilet

thought otherwise. and down into the
cellar she went.
she had not been at the tubs more than
i've minutes when the landlord who lives
tn the upper tenement, began 10 water
down a pet cucumber vine located I'm front
of the cellar window just over the wash
tubs. The man began from the west end
OF the vine and this sent the stream
through the window directly I'm the face
OF the washer-woman. She began 70
shout. but the man with the hose who Is
deaf, could not hear her. so she began
u 20 walk toward the west end of the cell
lar. and at the same time the man with
the hose walked toward the east, and in
some unexplained manner managed to
keep the stream on the woman OF the
house. who by this time was screaming
loudly. Her cries attracted the house
hold. all OF whom ran into the cellar.
BY this time the man with the hose had
'watered" the vine and the woman too.

and she was as wet as a drowned rat.
