For instance the housewife of your
family has certain we'll founded

family to appear at a certain reason

Failure to comply with this understood
regulation makes the housewife de-
cidedly uncomfortable and puts her al
work she has to do. She has certain
prejudices about h appearance OF
unexpected guests for meals, no doubt,
and these prejudices the members OF
the family are expected to understand.
Now wouldn't it be a very good plar
to have these regulations all under
stood, drawn up and subscribed to by
the various members of the family:
Wouldn't it be fairer to the members
of the family and easier for the house
wife? For instance there could be a
regulation that at least ~ hours, or
