but he put on mothers apron
and went to it like a Trojan

mother and the children.
When it came to wiping the
dishes, father looked about for
a dish towel. Of course, he
couldn't find one, so he used
the apron.
Man is so clumsy at woman's
work! Father had scarcely be-
gun wiping when-crash The
costly new dinner set was whole
no more! Well, can you blame
him-so long as he was alone?
It was only some sort of a bowl,
he didn't know exactly what it's
use was.
Mother and the children re-
turned home soon after father
cleared up. Mother went di-
rectly into the kitchen. Father
prepared for the worst.
Where's that soup tureen,
Fred?"

was all mother could say, for it
nearly broke her heart to think
her ideal dinner set had been
broken.

I'm a man, clumsy. slow, un-
used to family work. When I
dropped that bowl | realized
what housework it. Now [ can
appreciate your work all the
more. I'm glad | dropped it,
