"~ALK about the trials of a wo-
man whose husband is late
for dinner or doesn't come
when he is expected" says
the woman who has had experiences;
ut is annoying enough at any time,
but it is nothing in civilized country
to what it is when you are of in the
wilds somewhere and dinner and din
ner getting are two Of the most impor-
tant things in life.
when Mr.. Blank took me- and the
baby some years ago to try life on a
Texas sheep ranch we found there
were good many things in the world
that we had no conception Of before,
and life took on different aspect. 1t
was a happy life, but it was not an
easy one. had to do all kinds of
housework, the hardest kind Of house
work. and cooking in house situated
IN Texas chaparral is not cooking as
1t Is done even in New York fiat.
We lived chiefly on game which Mr..
Blank shot as we needed It, Our veg
etables were all canned-peas, corn
kept always on hand.
II suppose l made myself a great
deal more work than was necessary
and did twice as much cooking, but I
was used to everything in eastern
style. and it did not occur to me that
I could have things in any other way.
We always had dessert every day for
dinner. I made cake, and practically
we lived in the wilds Of Texas exactly
as we could here.
"Well. the day when Mr.. Blank did
not come home to dinner was New
Years. There was not so much differ
ence between the days-they were all
working days-but l had prepared a
special dinner. Mr.. Blank was going
of to the dipping vats, but he was to
be back at 2 o'clock for dinner. and l
prepared good one. 1t was rabbit. l
think, that day. Our nearest neighbors
were family of Alsatians whom we
knew very we'll and who had been
very kind to us. That morning before
breakfast Mr.. Blank had ridden over
there on business of some kind. They
had made eggnog to celebrate the day,
and of course he must accept their
hospitality and take glass;
''Now, good strong eggnog is moi
