Don't Be Too
COntented
BY Loretto G. Lynch.
IAN acknowledged expert on cook
ING and on All matters pertain
Ing to the hOusehOId0

YIN years ago ] knew a woman
who used to say a very short
prayer each. evening before
she retired for the night. So short
was it that one night 1 asked her
just what she said in the way of a
prayer that was so short. ooh.
Lord, make me always contented."
she said smilingIy.
The other day went back to see
her in the good old West. It was
ten years since I had seen Margaret.
She was the same smiling creature
not a thing in the world seemed
to bother her. She surely had had
her prayer answered. She was con-
tented. Most contented. Yet TO nv
mind her sense OF coEtentment was
not only to herself, but to the State
in which she lived as well, a decided
misfortune.
In ten years her home had not
progressed any. The carpets were
threadbare-yet they served their
purpose-they still covered the floor.
There were handIeless cups and
Clipped china and stemless and
cracked glasses.
Chairs that had lost their cane
seats were crudely repaired with
1O-cent store seats and coarse brass
tacks. House repairs were neg
lected until the incoming rain de-
manded at least makeshift repair.
What might have been made into
a delightful little stretch of garden
Margaret was "contented" to have
as a sort OF dump for old tin cans
and other househald refuse.

requires money"
Yet Margaret was not in want Of
money, nor had she ever had any,
thing but a fairly comfortable in
come. She had money in bank.
Margaret, why don't you take
little Joseph to the doctor and have
those adenOids and tonsils attended
to?' ] asked as I saw Joseph with
open mouth and the half vacant
stare characteristic Of his condition.
why borrow trouble?" smiled
the contented Margaret "If any
thing comes Of it, then it's time
enough to annoy the child" Mar
garet continued.
Yet Margaret is not the only one
of her kind. Contented people are
never progressive, and yet II is the
progressive people that make any
country a great country.
Aren't you, Mrs. Housewife, Just
2 wee bit discontented with your
home or it's surroundings? How
about seeking a home a little bet
ter than the one you now live in?
The stores everywhere, at this
time Of year. are offering special
bargains in household goods. Fine
steel knives. made in America, that
cut meat tough or tender, will give
so much better service than the
silver knives you have been using.
How about investing in half a dozen
or so OF these?
II you need a good warm blanket
or a comfortable, look for 1t now
before wool goes higher. The In
dians here in the West predict a
mighty cold winter this year.
A woolly mat or two and some
fine large bath towels will add
greatly 10 your personal comfort.
Are the bathroom fixtures begin
ming to look old and worn and
shabby? A new set will renew
your delights at bath time.

and fat, runs races on the strand
and mother dons a rubber hat and
builds some pies OF sand. Yes, this
and more the beachfolk do; they al
ways find most fun in stunts that
elsewhere are taboo, that strictly
are not done! There is some magic
on the air, some witchcraft In the
