THE WORST MODERN TORTT7p1
IS MANAGING YOUR MINI
Ind Forcing to Do the York at Hand Instead of Loo
For,card to the Pleasure of Saturday Afternoon

ONCE upon a time there were
~ horrible tortures meted out to
those who were unfortunate enough to
be captured by their enemies.
There was the Iron Maiden, the rack,
the slow drop of water dripping, drip
ping, dripping until the victim went
mad with its monotony, and other
frightful inventions that make US shud-
der nowadays when we hear of them.
We are not subjected to this kind of
thing now; there is no pillory or stocks,
no whipping post, none of those horrors.
Everyday life goes along smoothly,
II we behave ourselves. and we are in no
danger Of being caught by an ambushed
private enemy and taken off to be tor
tured in his house.
No, there are none Of these fearsome
things that made people writhe and
scream and tear their hair in agony. Z.
But was there any torture in those
olden days that quite compares with
the distress of pulling your mind down
TO the very earthly necessity of finish
ing your Saturday morning work before
you go a-spreeing on Saturday after
noon?

business, or perhaps you go just as

Yonr desk has the expression Of one
who would say. "Well, come on owe,
and get busy, we have lots to do this
morning"
The kitchen table seems to have added
about fifty or a hundred dishes since
you last saw it, and its whole outline
pleads for help.
The bedrooms are the usual Saturday
morning wreck. sheets and blankets
hanging over chairs and bedposts, pill
