yVJHEN you arc keeping house and
w have a surprise coming to you
w on Saturday Sunday does not
seem TO be such a long day, and said
so to my own true daddy this morning
when he came in and breakfast was
ready and Rowdy was in chair al the
end Of the table and ! was in chair
at one side and my father in chair
at the other. ! do not let Rowdy sit al
the table when we are out visiting but
when we are at home he is one Of the
family and he does not eat anything that
IL not put on his plate, only he thinks
that whatever goes on the floor Is his,
and that was how he came to grab the
bread yesterday, and | said to my own
true daddy. "How about blessing ~
He said, go ahead II you feel like it.
So he folded his hands and | did mine
and Rowdy did his paws and | said.
Everybody ready Here go. Dear
God which are in heaven hollered be
Thy name, what do you think of this
for a breakfast am getting to be
reglar little housekeeper. Amen" Then
my father laughed and then he reached
across and held one OF my hands in his
for a little while, and then he put some
sugar and milk in his coffee and dipped
his bread into that and ate It, and |
could tell BY looking at his fact that II
tasted mighty good, | guess when | am
grown up lady will dip my bread
into my coffee il is kinda sloppy and
II makes a noise when YOU eat Il, but II
looks mighty good.
THEN my father started going to
i bed and ! washed and wiped the
dishes and swept the floor and then
me and Rowdy rambled, and when we
got to the school there was Miss Peachy
which used 10 he my teacher out by the
sidewalk and she asked me how | done
and ! told her, and then she said, "How
is Phinl" ! Just stood and looked al
her. ! was 30 excited over praying Z
baby into the other teachers house anC
having a secre, and keeping house tha
! had forgot all about Phin and | die
not know even II Phin and Alice wer,
married or not or il Phin and his slSte
Wawneeta had gone home. II i' no
very often that a little girl with
streak Of Irish in her forpets, but whci
she does she certainly does a good io'
OF II.
At recess Miss Sands asked me VIII
I did not come around TO her house {,
walk 10 school with her and she sai
that she hoped | was not going TO q
back IN her, and | told her that | wa
loo bSsy with my housekeeping. s,
