WEDNESDAY.
How is the gas stove working nowl"
asked Mr.. Hooper as he sauntered into
the kitchen where Mrs. Hooper was
putting the finishing touches to the eve
ming meal" Did the man come up and
regulate things for you?"
"Oh, yes replied Mrs. Hooper, "and
1t is acting spIendidly as a result, but
While 1t has so many improvements that
l Ike so much 1 have to get used to it.
The old fashioned stove at Mayfield was
Ike friend that l had learned how to
manage in the long years we had spent
together"
You are a very sentimental person,
Mary" observed her husband as he lifted
Betty to his shoulders to carry her into
the dining room, and I expect we viii
never hear the end Of what we once had
al Mayfield."
"Oh, don't think for a minute that I'm
belittling this lovely new gas stoveT ex-
claimed Mrs. Hooper 1T was quite ny
fault that the oven wasn't baking props
erly and that so much gas was being
burned without proper results. But
understand how to regulate II now"
1 suppose there are a good many
things you want done in the Kitchen" Re.
marked Henry as he settled Betty in her
chair that was raised to the propeE
height with the aid Of a couple OF c1sh-
ions, and Roger and had better get 70
work at them 81 once"
There are absolutely no eonveniences
for working in that kitchen as Il STANDS
said Mrs. Hooper as she began serving
the dinner, but I'm not certain that I
want you and Roger to do much that
will be permanent as to shelves and
hooks and fixtures until 1 have studied
1t out more, and am absolutely certain
where want things to remain"
But / should think you could ten
that by just looking around, and hgur-
ing on what things you had TO store
away and whether you wanted them on
shelves or in the closets or hanging on
hooks"
That's just it." insisted Mrs. Hooper.
Il positively can't tell until I've tried
II out where anything ought to be. I
shall wor!, il all out and make q memo
randum OF what I want done, but You
and Roger needn't count on doing 1t this
Saturday"
We'll, you ought to have the job ready
for Us by a week from Saturday" OBJ.

4 an sure I shs, by then" said Mrs.
Hooper, "and In The meantime ! want TO
get the fruits and vegetables put away
carefully in the preserve closet in the
basement, which is really in fine shape,
and as lar as I can see with nothing
to be done to il, now that it has been
thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed"
What have you done today" asked
Henry. II haven't looked around to see,
but I suppose you've been busy every
minute"
Il certainly have" agreed Mrs. Hooper,
"and while ! can see number Of things

ribly bare"
You fixed ny room up, didn't you,
mother asked Helen, nibbling her bread
and butter"
Couldn't you see that I had" asked
her mother. "Of course. there isn't any
thing but the bed and the dresser and
chair and that little blue and white
rug, but Roger will build you soma
shelves for your books and III find a
little table for your work basket, and I
have a pair of curtains I've Just pressed
out that Roger will slip on tie rod
