1rue TO her promise Of getting down
10 schedule IN the matter of her house
"oIA' MIS- Hooper had gone about yes
terday with her notebook making en-
Irles as to the still existing needs of
each individual room, now that all the
Iurnltufe she had bought and everything
tAat nad come with them from Mayfeld
was IN place. In the inspection book
was also Jotted down the many odd Jobs
that must fall to the lot Of Roger and
MI. Hooper, so that no money should
be expended unnecessarily for helm or
labor With the exception Of the small
rugs in the bedroom and one in the liy-
ing room the floors were uncarpetei. but
as they were in excellent condition and
mad been newly done over they were
not difficult to keep clean. II took a
good dead Of time to go over them, how
ever, and when Mrs. Hooper finally went
NOhn 10 bAS Ills morning to be-
gin her washing she found she was at
least an hour and a half later than she
had ever been In Mayheld. 1t was very
evident that some sort Of rearrangement
OF her old-hme schedule would be
necessary. There was no doubt that the
arrangement Of the house and its present
equipment made much more time con-
Stunning process of keeping it in order
than had been the case in Mayfeld.

the trusty washing machine turned out
the extra "loads" In record time and
while it was well into the afternoon be-
fore the last piece Of wearing apparel
was on the line she wasn't nearly as
tired as might have been supposed from
looking at the number Of garments fly
Ing on the line in the breeze. 1t was
the first real washing that had been
done since she had moved in. On each
previous Tuesday during the month
she had washed out few pieces at a
time, right after breakfast and they were
usually rolled up ready to iron before
the childen came in to luncheon. The
sheets she had sent to the laundry and
had included the cost of washing them
in her operating expenses. II was for
this reason that Helen and Roger had
not before seen any such display Of
family wash.
Helen came tumbling in the front doo-
at lunch time and raced through the
hall and dining room to the kitchen
where Mrs. Hooper was arranging their
luncheon.
Helen" Mrs. Hooper began, haven't
told you not to come in the front
door and rush through the house. Go
around to the back door. You have
plenty of time"
But only people in the country go In
the back door, protested Helen, 'in the
city the family always go in the front
door I've noticed that much since I've
been living on this street"
well, 1 declared exclaimed Mrs.
Hooper in the annoyed tone that Helen's
remarks often provoked, what other nom
sense will you get into your head
wonder?" IF you all trail through the
house every time you come in from or,-
side 1t will add to my work Of keeping
those floors clean and l don't intend to
let you do it."
Helen's face was flushed and she looked
as II she was on the verge Of tears as
she burst out shrilly: "And all those aw-
full clothes on the Hne-they look just
disgracefull"
"Helen!" exclaimed her mother in q
shocked voice "One would think this
was the first time you'd ever seen the
family washing on the clothesIine. What's
wrong with it now?"
Roger had come In the kitchen door
and stood with his back to it, watching
his mother and Helen.
We'll don't care" sputtered the child.
mo one on this street hangs out the wash
that way. They send it to the laundry.'S
What If they do?" inquired Mrs.
Hooper coOlly. 1T isn't any Of our
business what our neighbors do about
their washing and it certainly shouldn't
bother them If 1 do mine at home"
But it looks like the dickens mother"
said Roger weakly, rather ashamed OF
his protest but sympathizing with Helen
in her ideas as to what was Gifted.
"Oh you children are too absurd" sid
Mrs. Hooper impatiently as she carried
tray into the dining room as Henry made
his appearance.
