FRIDAY.
Still with the idea in mind of getting
everything assembled in her kitchen so
mat she could begin TO route her house
work from there without loss of time
Mrs. Hooper got all her kitchen towels
together after she had finished the fam
lily mending. She found that she would
nave sufficient number to begin with
by using the old ones she had brought
from May1eld for her dishes, and by
making up some new ones for the glass
and silver from material that she had
bought at a sale and brought with her
from Mayfeld, she would be equipped
with a working supply of kitchen linen
which according to her idea should~in-
clude six glass towels, six silver towels
and six crash towels. Some Of her
friends in Mayield had been advocating
the use Of paper towels Tor nearly every
thing in the kitchen and letting the
dishes stand in the drainer to dry. after
boiling water had been poured on them.
Mrs. Hooper was rather included to
cling to the old way Of wiping the dishes
on cloth towels. She promised herself a
roll of paper towelling to hang in the
kitchen, however, en- which to wipe her
hands and to use for wiping dirty pots
and pans.
Il suppose I'll come to It as I have to
so many other things" she said as she
folded up the new dish towels while she
sat talking to Henry in the living room
while Helen and Roger studied their
lessons in the dining-room as they used
to do at Mayfleld, but wiping the dishes
on nice clean towels that one washes out
and hangs up to dry each time never
seemed such an awful sob to me as soms
women make of it,
''Such a lot of time is spent about II
is the greatest objection to the old
method that I can see" remarked Henry.
Il wait a long time for you to get in
here to talk with me after dinner just
because you insist on wiping all those
dishes"
Helen used to do them in Mayfeld,"
said Mrs. Hooper, but she has so much
more studying to do here that I want
her to get at her home lessons as soon
as possible or it makes it too late about
her going to bed"
well, I was just wondering If you
didn't wipe the dishes, but just left them
to dry the way they do in hotels, where
machinery takes care of SO many of the
details of Homework, If they wouldn't do
just as well for breakfast, and then you'd
be out of the kitchen and in here IN the
living room with me at least half an hour
earlier"
"Oh, If you are going to put 1t IN that
light and not in the one in which I've
been considering 1t of accepting it as
a labor saving device. I'll have to con.
slider It," said Mrs. Hooper, laughing as
she continued to fold the new dish towels.
whats the program for tomorrow aft
ernoon for Roger and me?" asked Henry.
ITO make an up date workshop OF
that nice kitchen for me the way you
did the laundry last week." said Mrs.
Hooper.
