ACCORDING TO ROY MoULToN

Keeping house alone IN an apart

For two months We tried TO summon
up courage to cook a mess OF ham
and eggs and coffee for ourselves,
and last Sunday. having a full day
of. we went at il. We started at
o'clock in the morning and began
peeling the potatoes. BY noon we
decided We could get along without
potatoes. which was a wise idea at
that potatoes being starchy and we
being fat. At ! o'clock, after rest
ing up, we began on the ham and
eggs and cofke. We wrestled with
this proposition until o'clock,
when we tried to get the eggs out
of the frying pan. portion of
them landed on the ceiling and the
rest stuck TO the bottom OF the pan,
and when we had time to look at
the coffee we found it had run dry
and the bottom was burned out of
the percolator. The only thing TO
do was what we did. We shut off
the fire and left everything stand
ing on the stove except the ham.
The ham was burned 10 the consist
ency Of a leather belt and we saved
this TO take to the shoemaker for
pair Of half-soles. Then we went
downstairs where there is a very
good restaurant and had a mess Of
ham and eggs. A lady OF color has

since, but has threatened TO strike
several times There wasn't a clean
dish in the house when she arrived.
But she is almost through now and
