Evening Chat
Readjusting Ones Self.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

My neighbor and 1 were comparing
the progress of our nasturtiums. 1t
was that wonderful June after dinner
hour that demands more than any
other hour of the year to be spent out
of doors, preferably in a garden. ideal
ly in an old-fashioned garden.
My neighbor turned her steps home
ward, signing. Maids night OUT
she explained. Seems to me as if
Wednesday night is no sooner gone
than it's here again. And L do hate
those dishes so. Dreading them spoils
the whole dinner hour for me. and af-
terward l spend half the evening put
ting them off. And, of course, that
only makes them harder in the end
My neighbOr has only had a helper
two weeks.
Before that time she did the dishes
every evening. One would think the
present schedule would seem relief.
Do 1 think then that her dread of do
ing them one a week is an affectation ?
Far from it. I've been through it all
myself and I can sympathize too thor
oughly for that. When 1 had to do
the dishes every night I made up my
mind to it. 1t was my routine. I did
MT resent it or dread it or try to get
out of it any more than doing up my
hair in the morning. But when had
a helper and only had to do them
once a week, then L ungratefully
dreaded that one night.
How about it, reader friends? Is it
that way with you? Or do you remem-
Der to be grateful on Wednesdays or
Thurs lays that you don't have the
drudgery of diShwashing every night
The habit of adjusting ourselves to
conditions is a great factor in all our
lives. One summer / occupied a room
with two enormous closets. 1t seemed
as IL L surely must have plenty of
room. Yet every hook was filled and
the thing / wanted was always hiding
under something else. The next year,
with one moderate-sized closet, 1 ad
justed my belongings carefully, 1eav-
ing more in my trunk and strictly
eliminating non-necessites, and, on
the whole, L was just as well off as L
had been with the two big closets.
At the telephone the other evening
1 caught myself growing impatient
when L had to wait two or three min
utes to complete a call. In some for
eign countries. have read, one sell
dom gets call completed in less than
five minute, and anyone wishing to
make a distance call must. register the
day before. If l had been born in
one of those countries / should never
think of being impatient at minor de-
lays And yet, doubtless, if / moved
to this country 1 should soon readjust
myself and become as impatient of
any slight delay as I now am
1t comforts me a very little when
am griev1ng over the bleak, monoton-
Gus lives OF some of my fellow-beings
to think that perhaps they adjust
themselves to the monotony and
bleakness and do not suffer from it
as much as 1T seems to US they must.
And yet wonder if 1 should say that,
lest it be seized upon by those who are
always ready to justify their own lux
urious lives and forget the injustice of
things The thought should not stulti-
fy our sense of the unfairness of
things only make our sense of it lit
tie less poignantly unbearable.

that remarkable natural wonder is not
yet producing asbestos commercially.
For electric installation the Arizona
asbestos is even better than the Ca
madam product, for it contains lower
percentage of iron. Asbestos of low
grade has been produced in Georgia
for many years. A report by j. 3
Diller of the United States geological
survey, on the production of asbestos
shows that in 1914 the United States
produced and sold 1,247 short tons,
valued at s1S,965, gain of 13 per
cent in quantity and ~ per cent in
value as compared with the produc-
ton of 1913. Besides the small pro-
duction in California and Virginia
there were three important producers
two in Georgia, who furnished the
greater portion, and one in Arizona,
who produced high grade material
only.

THE COST OF LIVING.

According to statistics assembled by
the federal government the cost of
living in this country is higher than
ever before, showing an increase of
2 per cent over the high water mark
that was reached in 1913. But it is
also a notable fact that the people
are not complaining as much about
living's cost as they have been in the
last few years, and this notwithstand-
ing the facts that business, generally.
is not as active as 1t might be and
that unemployment for this time of
year IS of greater volume than usual.
All of this can only mean enc thing.
Through the necessity of making both
ends meet because of the high cost of
living, the people. or most of them,
have cut down here and there the
high living, in which they had been
INDUCING so freely. Anu not very
many of them are any the worse for
their economical efforts.
