Once Sunday was a stiffly starched
day. TO be awaited H1rb fear. endured
with courage and forgotten with
haste. That was the case many years
ago in New England and In the south
and the east
Then people came west where
things were freer and one could even
spend Sunday without having spent II
hours OF the previous day with ones
hair done up On agony rags and not
even on Sunday did small boys have
to wear stiff white blouses with ruf-
fles around the collar.
Much Saturday Preparation.
FL Paso. which was once considered
very small and very western, has
grown AS it has become larger 1t
has adopted the manners and customs
OF the east and north which were
foregone when the town was young.
In most FL Paso homes Saturday
Is day OF preparation Then are
supplies bought for the biggest meal
OF the Week-the midday meal on the
day OF rest-little chance for mothers
10 rest on that day.
The business done IN grocery stores
and markets is four times as great on
Saturday as on any other day OF the
week Houses are cleaned on Satur-
day-in case company should drop in
for dinner or tea or just for a call
and a glass Of lemonade on Sunday.
Oh: the Saturday Bath!
The baking for the day OF rest Is
done on Saturday so that mother can
80 to church in the morning and not
have to make the family do without
the cake and pie to which II Is en-
titled on the hQiy day.
But the real work Of the week
comes on Saturday night surely do
FL Pasoans believe that cleanliness
Is next to godlinessi The city water
company says that more water Is used
on the night before the cody day than
at any other time in the week. Sat
urday night is dreaded By most OF the
small boys in FL Paso. II a fellow
could 90 swimmin' on that night II
wouldn't be so bad but these win
