But you and every other interest is
second with him to his profession.
He expresses himself in that letter
you quoted al a novelist would-a
sort of emotional license. He means
no more than that he is grateful with
all his heart for our help. He ap-
p~reciates o as a charming young
woman and as IAN unusual type"
But that is all.
You might make him fall in love
with you if o pursued him far
enough and diligently enough. But
Dorothy darling. few women are sat
isfed with a marriage brought about
that way. And surely you would not
be, for all you wild scheme of going
afield in search of Fate.
oh, my dear, if I could only per-
suade you to spend the rest of your
summer out here in sweet old Bents-
villei
There are some nice men here
truly. There is a big westener who
is bossing the work on Sledden's dam
up the river. He is staying with
Aunt Cynthy. And there are two
city boys camping in the old mill.
They've got it fixed UP too cute And
they have a canoe and everything.
OF course there's no use my telling
you how we miss you Randy Lewis
bushes to h roots of his hair when
ever he sees YOU picture or hears
anyone mention you. And Phil Wes-
sen at the drugstore, who'd lay his
life down for you any minute II
you'd only look at him, is real hand
some these days with his hair gray
ing and a little weight taken on. But
you wouldn't marry a widower with
two children if he was the last man
on earth / suppose. Mabel Harflss
is angling for him with every bait
she knows.
Think it over, dear, and come
home for a visit. The whole town
would go daffy with joy.
AT all events, forget Wallis. He's
not the man for you.
Yours devoted1y,

BY RUTH BAIRD
Home Economics Expert,

July and August are not The months
in which many enjoy the duties or
housekeeping to the highest degree.
In fact, the more they can be mini
mixed and still done well the better, for
then more time can be spent on the
extra work and play especially brought
by summertime.
Some days, work insists on going
backward" in others, there actually
seems to be some force determined TO
keep the housewife moving between
the living room and kitchen. II, at
the end of such a day, she should ask
why was there SO little accomplished.
thinking over the work don and find
ing where lack of forethought loomed
up might answer the question.
Plan the Days Tasks
In the evening when 1t is delight
fully cool and she is sitting on the
porch after a day. might it
NOT be wise to use half an hour to plan
what shall be done the next lay?
Taking account in advance of the num-
Der of duties and the hours in the day
may furnish convincing evidence that
som ething must be postponed and give
the opportunity of choosing what shall
go undone rather than leaving the de-
cision to chance. Very little work is
so important that it is worth firing
the housewife completely, and spoil
ing her usually cheerful disposition.
No one except the housewife her
self can make out her schedule, Tor
her work will be different from other
women's in a way which only she VIII
understand. Neither can she expect
to make out a plan that can or should
be followed as if it were a hard and
fast ruie. However, most women find
it quite practical to plan approximate
ly, trying to foresee as much of the
work as possible and noting the
amount of time needed for 1t. The
days work can be definitely organized
more easily after the weeks work is
roughly scheduled. For instance,
every day of the week h housewife
has to prepare the meals, wash the
dishes, take care of the sleeping rooms
and do some light cleaning. Once a
week she has these tasks: Washing and
ironing, marketing. special cooking,
sewing or repairing, and a thorough
cleaning of the house. If there are
small children. each list will be larger.
Heavy Work In Mornings
OF course, the time of day for doing
the different work depends on the
