SATURDAY.

SATURDAY.
IT don't know what makes this house
look SO kind Of dingy and dusty" re-
marked Roger. critically, as he strolled
through the living room after breakfast,
'its lost all its bright shiny look that
1t always has when mother is on the
job"
Well, I'm sure I dust around every
day" retorted Helen, as she set the floor
brush and caI pet sweeper in the corner
and began to move the chairs out in the
hall so that she and her grandmother
could give the room it's weekly cleaning
Anyhow it doesn't look the same" OBJ
served Roger, land you are always talk
ing about my not noticing things. See
the end of that curtain that was rained
on Tuesday night because the window
was open from the bottom. It's all turned
black from swishing on the window sill
No one ever saw anything like that with
mother around"
II know very we'll what keeps things
like that dirty curtain, and those old
dead leaves on the plants in the window
boxes and the broken window pane in
the basement and the plug OF the chain
in the wash tubs and the ends of pieces
of soap around in all the soap dishes and
a few other things from ever being seen
in this house when mother is managing
II" said Helen, as she piled the books
and magazines up on the reading table
Well what is it," inquired Roger, as
he helped his sister by dragging out the
rugs into the hall preparatory to beat
ing them in the back yard.
ITS that little book that she calls her
inspection list" replied Helen. "She
writes down every little thing that is
out Of order in the house on Monday
morning and before the week is out you
know somebody has had to fix or clean or
mend every single thing that she has
made a note of in her little book"
Then she never has any leftovers for
the next week remarked Roger
That's It," nodded Helen, land it's all
these leftovers that no one has attended
to for nearly a month that makes the
house look so shabby in spite Of all the
busting and cleaning that grandma and
/ do"
Then of course all Of us sleeping down
stairs makes the house mussier too. |
suppose" added Roger regretting his
fault finding when he remembered how
really hard poor little Helen had tried to
keep things in order when she would
much rather have been playing around
outside.
Il hope we don't have to make any
jelly or anything this afternoon" he con-
tinued as he shouldered the rugs for their
journey 10 the clothesline in the back
yard.
Yes. we do" said Helen, there are
the rest of those ounces 20 finish md
some more grape juice to be made and
grandma says she will make a dozen
glasses Of jelly out Of what is left Of
those apples"
ssI think ft's a prot4v r,oar ,-.- g.
father and me TO have TO spend our Sat
urday afternoons growled Roger.
Mother never In the world would make
us do 1t. can't see what's the matter
with you and grandma that you can't
&c alone"
We'll we are not going to-" announced
Helen emphaticaIly. Father says it's
inst as hard for us TO stay in when we'd
like to go out In the woods this afternoon
so yOn are both going to help and I
know how pleased Mother Is going to be
at all the things we've canned. She
doesn't know that we've done a thing"
yes, and I wouldn't be surprised II
they all spoiled" propbes'cd Roger as
he disappeared through the front door.
