THE EASIEST WAY
Households Managed With Slight
Expenditure of Physical Effort.
SIT DOWN TO YOUR WORK.

and the sermon is meant to do you
whole heap of good. Won't you hat
it2 However, you're going to get
this time, and the text is 1.-THE Easies
Way" 1t has nothing to do with thu
play which had such q successful run
last winter and which some people
found perfectly horrid" and other:
considered a fine object lesson" No
work.
Look about you, my dear, at house
keepers and see how few know how
to take care Of themselves. How
many women sit down to dry dishes
How many sit down to peel potatoes
How many sit down to beat eggs? No
one in fifty.
OF course there are some kinds Of
work you can't do sitting down. Yor
can turn q bread mixer while you are
sitting down, but you can't knead
bread unless you stand up to 1t. You
rant do washing seated, though you
van hofC u hi6h Sbuh III pitco oh
some small pieces on the ironing board.
You have to stand while you are doing
some kinds Of cooking; also you have
to be on your feet while you are sweep
ing and busting and making beds, and
the like.
But how many women have had the
wit to study out what work they can do
urbjIo oaofal and than HvaI nv fo +hn;r
discoveries? 1t would be awfully in
teresting to make a canvas of the
question.
But the most discouraging part
about the Investigation would probably
be that it would show how few wom-
IN have brains enough to run their
own business at least expenditure of
effort In proportion to the result
gained.
Now, dear, of course I'm not knock
ing. But think 1t over-this sitting
down at work question.
Tho Foxy Up to Date Girl.
To change the subject suddenly, I
was so Disguised by a remark made
by a girl recently, who, being asked to
meet a man, f~ippantly inquired,
Bachelor, widower or husbandT'
This very direct method was q new
one to me, but l reckon I'm something
of a back number, for 1t seems quite
the thing for the up to date girl to
list men according to their eligibility
for marriage. There are girls who
quite without realizing 1t always men
ton a mans state as to matrimony
when speaking of him. 81 was taken
In to dinner by MIR. May, a charming
bachelor" this type Of girl remarks
airily. II golfed with Mr.. Gray. In
tegesttag2 Oh, yes, but he's married"
..f've had an invitation to motor with
Mr.. jerks, such a delightful young
widower and rich, they say"
Mr.. May may be a poet, MFR. Gray an
inventor, Mr.. jerks q wrecker Of other
mems fortunes on Change, but she
doesn't know or care.
A girl of this type got a well de-
served rebuke from Mrs. Van s, the
other day. Mrs. Van s. asked the
girl to dinner and mentioned that Mr..
So-and-S0 was coming.
"My dear" she drawled, why did
you ask him? You know l can't marry
a man of his age"
Don't be an idiot" retorted Mrs. s..
"I'm not asking you to marry him, nor
does he want to marry you. I'm only
asking you both to eat a very good
dinner"
Girls OF this class have a wonderful
propensity for seeing sentiment in the
simplest attentions from a man.
Which Is why the girl who is out for
a good time and can golf, dance or
firt without q thought of anything fur
ther Is SO refreshing to u man. So
ciety may be q highly organized game
for catching husbands, but men like
girls who don't view 1t that way.
An Unexpected Interruption.
Don't you love a marshmallow roast?
/ know you do, especially on a moon
light night on the beach. We had
such a party at Belle Harbor recently,
and a dandy big blaze was started
with seasoned driftwood that we had
been saving for several days. Each one
of the party was given a long pointed
stick on which to spike the marshmal-
lows and roast them in the flames.
We were all browning u candies,
singing merrily and jollying, when q
man of the vendetta type noiselessly
approached and asked Dorothy If any
one had lost these holding up at the
same time a perfectly new set of false
teeth. You can imagine the effect OF
such a tableau. Ellnor went of into
mysteries, Helen looked scared to death
and the marshmallows tumbled int
the flames unheeded. The intruder
all unconscious of the sensation hC
created. mumbled on, I'D like TO re
store them to the owner" Finally
Dick grunted out, ~ think she'd like
TO have Lem" we all roared, ant
that broke the spell.
Speaking of teeth reminds me OF
gtory | heard about Mr.. Rockefellel
and his charity fund. This billion
aire has requests for money and hell
from al over the world. but the fun
NEST appeal came recently from Ger
many from an old woman who asked
for a set of false teeth. as hers wer'
getting very uncomfortable and sh'
couldn't chew well with them. Nov
don't ask me whether she got tn
teeth.
