Ut certainly is getting hot here in
 rowly at Andrew. Gan it," said Andrew. "Cut out that
 chatter right herel l can see that you are beginning on that same old vacation bust- ness: You want to buy s605 worth of 1 clothes and then pay $75 a week for a six then change clothes nine times day and
 walk the porch past the rocking chair grandstand
 "Nothin doinl
 We are going to stay right here under our own vine and fig tree and listen 10 our own graphophone and the drip, drip, drip of our own refrigerator pan We will do well enough if we keep a roof over our heads with the present H. c. L., without spending d fortune gadding around the beaches"
 We'll said 1mogene craftily, T am glad to SC you taking a little interest in your own home at last,
 Like you I believe that it would be just as we'll if we did stay here at home this summer and not go away at all. We could save a lot of money and with 1t do some things which are needed about the house.
 Now, in the first place. the entire in- side woodwork on the second floor needs painting, and Andrew, l do not see why you. instead of taking your usual vaca- tion, you could not stay at home for . week and tell the folks at the office you were away at the seashore and we car shut up the house and you can do that painting.
 "Of course I know that you do not know anything about painting. but the house needs repaperipg anyway. and if you do get a little paint on the paper 1t will make no difference, for as soon as
 you are done with the painting we will have the paperhangers come, and you will be here to help me move the furn'- ture from room to room out of their way"
 She smiled as she noticed his look of distress
 Then" she went on, while this s going on we can let Sarah go for her va cation and I can fix you up some hurried meals while she is gone. and when she cones back we will start the house-clean- ing, and you can help us with that, too.
 q think this would be much of change from your regular office worK as going somewhere to the seashore The perspiration broke out on Andrews forehead.
 Then, she went on, there are two or
  that need fixing and you can get them and nail them on and there are lot os changes I want made in the back yard
 We need some new flower beds, and l want some grapes planted along the wax so we can have an arbor over if, and
 'So you think that would be vacation for me, do you?'' he broke in. Well
 there's nothing to it! What do you sup pose we keep Sarah here for anyway 1, She will stay right here and superntend that work while we get away for little of the summer in the mountains or North Carolina.
