THUR SDAY.

THURSDAY.
Mrs. Hooper was still burdened with
the necessity Of taking Betty with her
when she went shopping and marketing
on Thursday afternoons unless she wait
ed until Helen returned from school,
which was nearly always out Of the
question because it made it so late by
the time she reached home again.
She had never realized how much she
had depended on her mother to take care
of Betty in Mayfeld and how much more
she was able to accomplish when the
child was off her hands for a few hours,
especially when 1t came to going about
the market and through the shops. A
much more charitable attitude toward
Mrs. Campbell and several other Of her
neighbors who had two or three small
children to hamper them in the progress
Mrs. Hooper was always urging them to
make toward q goal Of perfectly SEIZED
uled housekeeping with all the work
! carefully routed" She smiled rather
ruefully as she buttoned on Betty's coat,
preparatory to the trip downtown, when
she remember that she had not yet put
her housekeeping back on the regular
routine scale Of so many minutes for
each task every day, as she had been
doing for q number Of years at May
field.
Il suppose I can't expect to get every
thing running at once" she said to her
SELF but with all my experience I seem
to be having quite as much difficulty as
Mrs. Campbell ever did about budgetting
my time in this house"
One Of the special things on her list to
be purchased today was her new house
record file which was to supplement the
one she had arranged for her bookkeeping
accounts; ink and pens and pencils and
all the other necessary equipment for hex
kitchen desk. Also she wanted to get
some new seed catalogs, and locate
place t. buy what they would need to
put the back yard garden IN shape since
Henry had decided that she was to have
a small one, at least.
Henry had also promised to complete
the equipment of her kitchen by build
ing for her between the table and the
sink drain, a vegetable preparing stand
like the one he had put in the Mayheld
kitchen and which had proved such
saver Of time and labor. A piece of zinc
was necessary for this and on her way to
the market she stopped a. the tinsmith' S
and ordered just what she needed, accord
| ing TO the mea Surements Roger had taken
for her. Aside from some hairpins and
a new hair ribbon of Helen's and a little
ping. Fortunately her sister-in-l law
Belle was not as near at hand as she
used to be to begin nagging her abOut
this time about new clothes for Easter.
She intended to buy something new, OF
course, because the family had begun TO
go regularly to the church a few blocks
away and no matter how much she shut
/ her eyes to the fact or refused to listen
! to Helens enthusiastic descriptions Of
Z ba fsh oil he
/ of the congregation she knew very weH
/ that the matter Of clothes would be
more Of a problem here than it had been
| in Mayfield. She had quite a surplus in
| her clothing budget, because Of her
! careful buying in Mayfeld. but prin-
! cipallY because the clothes of every mem
/ Der Of the family were so well taken care
+ of that, being of good quality in the
beginning they looked almost new wher.
/ they might we'll have begun to gro"
/ shabby.
J As she looked in the window Of mil
lnery shop she made up her mind that
/ one Of her purchases a few weeks later
would be n new hat for herself. She had
/ always made her own hats in Mayheld,
but she felt that the whole family would
/ approve of her decision to buy one al
ready made"
! The marketing for the week was rather
simple as there seemed to he nothing af-
/ fording any special bargains; she varied
| her meat meals with as much fish as
possible ordered 4 pot roast for her Sun
/ day dinner to be cut and hung away in
/ the ice box until il was time to deliver
/ it, and finally stopped to pay the weekly
! dairy supply bill. where she found TO her
delight that eggs were cheaper than they
had been in a long time.
