DOINCS

How doth our busy housewife
Improve each springtime hour
She takes up all the carpets
And every board doth scour.
There's fresh paint in the parlor
And paper In the hall.
Theirs plaster In the bedroom
Where rain leaked In last fall
They're going to clean my study,
Ny books are on the floor.
I cannot fnd my paper
Ny quiet days are DER.
We had breakfast in the laundry
And luncheon In the hall
fear to go to dinner
Lest there Is none at ALL
Oh, for some ancient rock bound cave
Beside quiet sea
There might the tide with rising wave
MY dwelling clean for me.

Forty-niner," published in Harper
Magazine short time ago. 1t was ar
ranged from the diary of n relative
by Mrs. Muzzy and she expects to
bring 1t out In book form as the num-

. good-sized volume and are intensely
interesting. However. this is digress-

ent and the game was seven handed

Mrs. Spangler were the lucky players
