Wen, this Certainly promises to be q
busy week" said Mrs. Hooper as she sat
down at the breakfast table and the
family took their places with her.
with the contents Of your preserve
closet packed the worst OF my Job here
Is over" said Henry. at won't take
Roger and me very long to do the paint
Ing az soon as those paperhangers finish
their work"
They viii be in to begin right after
breakfast, and the house viii be IN =
dreadful mess for a while, but they have
promised to be finished By nig IT." said
Mrs. Hooper
The painting should be done II
Wednesday night at the latest" re-
marked Henry. Then Il I pack my
trunk and NY personal belongings you
and Roger viii be able to manage the
rest, 1 suppose"
oh, very wei, indeed said Mrs
Hooper. IN fact, 7 expect TO get
great deal more done after you are gone
than : have for the last few weeks"
How IS that" inquired Henry in an
injured tone. 4 thought I was helps
full"
Hooper hastily, "but I can't get used 10
having you around the house. 1t up
sets my schedule more than anything
I've ever had TO contend with before"
Henry laughed. Il don't believe I am
entirely responsible for the upset condi-
tion OF your schedule. But why you at
tempt 70 keep it up while we are getting
ready TO move is more than I can UNDER
stand"
Wen there is no use trying to ex-
plain" said Mrs. Hooper as she gave
Betty a second glass Of milk, but il
seems just the last remnant Of our old
life here and can't bear TO go TO pieces
and be thoroughly disorganized before
we leave"
Well it's ny impression" remarked
Henry, that since You viii have 10 be-
gin . ,usekeeping on an entirely new
basis in Indianapolis that you might as
well let everything go TO smash here and
concentrate on packing and moving in
stead OF trying to keep the wheels turn
ing in this house as though nothing had
happened"
Henry spoke with real irritation. be
cause FOR more than d week he had been
keen to attack the business Of moving in
perfect man fashion and throw every
thing into disorder and confusion while
he worked
'But Henry" protested Mrs Hooper.
the whole problem has been simplifed
by our not having 10 pack the furniture.
l SHAH give the place a thorough clearing
next week, launder the curtains and put
them back and then pack the trunks. and
we viii be ready 10 leave two days be-
fore the first Of February"
But haven't YOU g lot Of closets to
clean out and things to throw avaye"
inquired Henry i-ritablv TT isn't nat
uraI for everything to he running along
a. II We expected TO live on here instead
" leaving for a new home IN a few
weeks"
Mrs. Hooper looked at her husband
and laughed. Henry. I do believe YOU
are disappointed that even with this nm
heav2l upon Us yQu cannot make 4 mess

inspection OF this place every Monday
Tor years and eliminating and using 10
as 1 went along all the things you seem
TO think ought now TO be packed away

ment that VIII not be packed in nv
trunks or boxes 10 he taken away with
me OF left here for Mrs Selden to use.1
well, I must say that I had no ides
that your Monday inspection, as you can
it, was working any such wonders as
that" exclaimed Henry. You mean to
say that there isn't TO be anything more
to The moving than if it were your ordi-
nary house cleaning time"
Not much" replied Mrs Hooper. smiI-
ing. The worst is really over with the
packing Of all those fruit Jars and if it
were not for the painting and papering
you wouldn't know anything was hap
