ooh, what a tangled web we weave
when first we practice to deceive. Z"
Daddy quoted in a whimsical sing
song, meant to cheer me up bit But
it failed completely. wanted to be
miserable, and knew had good rea-
son to be. only sobbed the more,
and whimpered:
Your poetry sounds awfully old
timey, Daddy dear, but 1t fits my own
case all right this very minute.
"Shuck," Daddy protested. ;Tke
idea that you'd deceive anybody ma
liciougly Is absurd. can't see how
mother and l ever agreed to connlve
with you about this load OF make up
you're travelling under!"
I'VE were so sure Bob liked IT, 1
nloaned, liked the girl who wore it
aud might be won back to realities by
her"
We'll, I'm sure now at any rate
that Mother and have been awfuly
to blame. We let you i'll for all this
guess it's up to US to get you out
What Bob needs isn't ali your patience
and Mothers petting, hut u good big
lolt!"
Dauay looked so Srim, and he has a
habit OF acting SO quickly that 1 in
terrupted him:
mo shock, just yet--please, Daddy
dear. Let things drift for little while
longer"
Drift" Daddy snorted That's
not my way"
But" l protested earnestly, I'm
stead OF shocking Bob back to sense,
we're just as liable to shock him into
usanity--foreVer!"
Daddy's temper faded away, and
when l was alone, 1 meditated upon
what he had said. My nerves were
certainly worn raw by my long dis
guise 1t was months since had ac-
CURED my artificial hair and coloring
so many that sometimes had to stop
and think when and why had put
it on.
OF course I wore 1T first to conceal
myself from Certeis, after he had iu-
suited me, and while was working
as a messenger girl, and tracking down
his REASONABLE secrets.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-08-26

And then Bob had rescued me from
the striking messengers, and had held
my seemingly unconscious head on his
shoulder during the trip to the hos
pital My Bob, robbed by she'll shock
of half his past life, and of the knowl-
edge thai he had wife. had become
oddly interested i'll the little messen-
ger girl, and strangely stimulated to
what we thought was his old self
again.
The whole machinery OF fate that
has brought me to my present fix
comes back in detail to me whenever
l run over these events. And l know
that it wasn't only because the Jane
Lorimer side of me was hurt, that 1
kept on applying that awful gypsy
paint, aid surrounding 1t with the
bobbed wig. wanted to prove that
in any guise my spirit would win his
love, and make 1t mine among all the
women of the world
He certainly had felt the pull OF my
spirit on his own until Katherine
Miller interrupted, and spoiled my sec
ond love affair with my husband-5y
lie!
True, she had seen me as the real
Jane Lorimer-as Bobs wife-only a
few times. OF course she did not rec
ognize me now. nor realize that the
girl she 5landered was the welded
wife OF the man she was pursuing. l
wonder. though, whether that knowl-
edge would have influenced her at
all!
Kate Miller is the type who would
take d man from his wife without a
scrupie, if she wanted him. She, for
all her beauty, is the serpent woman.
And Bob, like all men, trusts Beauty
so blindly-as II, Of itself, it were al
ways sterling truth.
And yet as l pondered over this
miserable drama that destiny had In
volved me in, couldn't bring myself
to the point of appearing again before
Bob as Jane Lorimer, his vile.
The shock might indeed prevent the
engagement now feared, but what If
1t only revived in him the ranking
sense OF our old, exaggerated quarrel.
and threw him only the more surely
into Katherine Millers arms?

alton for few years. The mothers
health is more important to the fam
lily than either savings or recreation.
1t is a sad commentary on the strain
of modern domestic life-and the lack
OF consideration given the excessive
labor required in the home, that a New
York hospital reports that IS per cent.
OF its patients last year were broken
down" housewives.
Some way must be found OF man
aging the labor and responsibilities OF
large households so that they are d.
vided between the whole family, In
GLIDING the husband-or are shared BIZ
a paid helper, instead OF being dumped
sltogether on the shoulders OF one
woman the housekeeper.
Herewith is printed a ciagram of
the household duties divided between
the housewife and one helper-either
daughters of the family--or paid en-
ploye. The diagram may serve as a
basis for planning work schedules in
homes. II was aade by

The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-08-26

Before making out such a schedule
each housekeeper should take into
consideration the number of rooms N
the house, the size OF the family, the
outside assistance (such as laundry
and the days off allowed the helper.
The best way to begin is to make a list,
first Of the daily duties, such as cook
ing, dishwashing, bed making and gen.
eral Strengthening Next provide spe-
cial cleaning duties on certain days of
the week and special cleaning (silver.
pantries, etc. on certain days every
other week.
Rooms used least need be cleaned
only every other week, the time in al
ternate weeks to be used for cleaning
silver or extra duties In cleaning clos
cts. attic or basement
Every schedule should have tho
work 40 arranged that no one day Is
overcrowded. and so that brief rest
periods are possible for both workers.
The secret OF such careful arrange
ment is In the housewives knowledge
OF just how much time Is required by
each task-a knowledge that Is the
fruit of experience
