II LSDAA-
As Mrs Hooper served he cream Of
chowder she referred to Mrs. Campbell's
story Of always asking her husband what
he wanted for dinner before he left the
house after breakfast each morning.
Would you people like to know each
day what you are to have to eat at night
or do you like me to keep it a secret the
way do until you sit down at the dinner
table"
"Oh I'd hate to know just what was
to eat every night" exclaimed Henry 1t
would take the edge off my appetite com
pletely and III be thinking about it In
the train until I shouldn't feel like eating
a bite"
Il think I like to be surprised" added
Roger. II you are going to have any
thing l don't Ike I'd rather not know it"
But then we could tell you we didn't
want things" said Helen. That would
/ be very nice I think"
81 don't Ike this soup. Take II away.

opportunity of getting rid Of her soup

/ getting Der 10 eat"
/ ~FInish every drop Of that soup Betty,
4 said Mrs Hooper severely. I'm sure
I'm right I'm my plan OF never consulting
any If YOU about my menus the way SO
/ many women think they should do In order
to please every member Of the family
with the catering. Betty would always
rule out SOUP and Helen would never
have carrots and Roger would vote
against spinach"
Does Mrs Campbell always ask her
family. what they wantf' inquired Henry
That's what she has been doing,
laughed Mrs. Hooper until her husband
stopped her and begged to- be surprised
once i'm q while instead or being always
consulted"
We'll I'd hate to have you always ask
ing me- What will W. ugTe = eat, ~ con
fessed Henry. and then 10 he certain OF
what we would have three meals in ad-
vance would be awful. It's all right foi
YOU 10 know as long ahead as you Ike
Mary. # you don't tell us about it."
There's another nice thing about
mother" said Roger smiling at her over
HIS fish salad "and that is she isn't al
ways saying 50 We can hear it," oh I'm
50 tired cooking these same old things
| I don't know what to do
"And when you think how many fish
salads she's made in all these years,
I laughed his father, at would be no cause
I for surprise if she really were tired cook
ing these same old things for US"
I'm really always trying to think OF
. some new wrinkle that will make the old
things seem differentiated there are so
many combinations that we used never to
dream Of TIL there really isn't much eX-
Icusd these days for monotonous unappetiz-
ing food even when the principal ingre-
( dents have to be much the same always.
Il can't tell you Henry" said Mrs.
/ Hooper as they went out on to the front
porch. while Helen put away the dishes
that she and her mother had washed and
Roger vanished for mis- after dinner
chore Of watering the vegetable garden,
",vhat a new lease Of life that washing
machine has given me I'm not the least
| bit tired tonight and I used to be all
worn out on Tuesdays"
you and Betty and Roger all had dis
graceful stains on your things this week
too" she went on reproachfully IS
! Henry lit the lamp on the readihg table
and opened late magazine from the IL
brary to read to her while she sewed.
rs that sO?" said Henry cOntritely.
Eyes. ] do remember now of spilling
iodine all over two handkerchiefs. Could
you get it out?"
