I'm just about worn out. declare
exclaimed the visiting woman. as she
dropped into a chair. Il don't know
how I've lived through the last two
weeks. I'm sure 81
so much work getting settledy In
quired her hostess
Work. It's been simpls frlghtful.
I'll never move again as iorg as live.
I've made up my mind to that"
Its an awful task. l know" said
the hostess, sympathetically
my dear.v said the visitor. you re-
ally and truly haven't any idea OF the
task it has been. I've moved before
and / know what moving is. but such
q time never had. To begin with, we
couldn't get out before the Sd. Mr..
Woosey put of seeing the moving men,
as he always does. though reminded
him of II again and again.
Henry I said, If you don't see
them to-day we won't be able to get a
wagon on the 1st.'
"'Oh, don't you worry about that he
said. They've got plenty Of wagons.
Well get out all right
well. be didn't see them. of course,
and the result was that we couldn't get
moved before the Sd. And there we
were all packed. l had to have Mr.
woosey unpack half the things again,
| told him. The girl didn't like it a
bit either, because l had got her he'd
taken down apd she had to sleep on a
mattress. and she said the floors were
damp. / made her scrub them. you
know; for to go away ana leave dirty
house is something that will not do.
You ought to have seen our new
house when we went into It, | meant
TO have had it all cleaned out and
ready for us to go into. out in all the
distraction 1t went out of my head and
of course Mr.. Woosey didn't remind me
of IL. Such a sight as 1t was, l would
never have believed those people would
have been capable of leaving place
like that. 1t was an actual pig pen. I
said to Mr.. Woosey that he might stay
there IL he wanted to, but he would
have to take me TO a hotel until it got
cleaned up. was just discouraged.
And the girl was so disagreeable and
sulky about it, too"
They don't like the work OF NOV
inc. know" said the hostess.
I'm sure l don't know why they
should object to it,, said the visitor.
But then, they'll object to anything.
Well, had one of my regular nervous
spells come on and had to keep In my
room for two days Mr.. Woos y had q
cot put up in one of the rooms at the
house and stayed there to overlook the
cleaning. We had to get in a man to
help, too. The girl simply wouldn't un-
dertake to do the thing alone. And
when | got around they had everything
wrongful the furniture in the wrong
places. so that had to haze them move
everything back. | had four or five en-
gagements, too, that week-social en-
gagements, you know-and / had to be
out late, and then Mr.. Woosey got one
of his attacks of Indigestion and blamed
it onto the cooking. Men are so un-
reasonable When you are settling in
new house, of course, something has
to be sighted, and Mille couldn't sweep
and scrub and clean windows and give
as much time and attention to the cook
ing as she ordinarily could. Still. Mr.
woosey helped a great deal with the
cleaning, so she might have done a lit
tie better, perhaps; but he needn't ha ve

him. just looking at 1t all, made me
quite sick
well, it must be nice TO feel thai
you are settled now," observed the host
