When read this letter OF Susan's which
hope will help some of the housewives,
with its thought Of combining music with
kitchen work, WAS reminded OF an edi-
toriai in recent Bangor Nevs, and in
sers it here. More than that, believe it
fully. Along with ones housework some
thiag which has been q part OF ones life
before, if still continued in to some ex-
tent, makes q variety in the routine OF
work which will add q melody to what
Susan calls the kitchen song.
Somany say, Il haven't time for anything
not necessary Wait minute. Think OF
Aunt Maria with her flowers, aud OF
Betsey Prig, who with her many family
cares and sstomachs to fiil', finds ii me to
use her camera and beautifully tint the
views she takes of sea and shore.
