mile of all the paved highways in

THE MODEL HOUSEWIFE.

THE MODEL HOUSEWIFE.
She gets up in the morning from .
dream Of loads Of dirt,
It makes her cleanly conscience hum,
the water she will squirt
And splash by means Of garden hose
and water buckets, too,
And az she quickly comes and goes
she finds q lot to do.
There's dust upon the picture frames,
And cleaning all her thinking claims,
the voice Of duty calls;
She girds her tFusty apron ON and
grabs her faithful broom,
She throws the rugs out ON the lawn
and makes the beater boom.
She mOps the murk up from the
floors; the ceiling gets q gwipo;
She takes O buster to the doors and
mends q busted pipe;
She blacks the worn and rusty stove
She nibbIes ON 9 soothing Glove and
spOnges off the pup.
She paints the house inside and out;
puts patches ON the roof;
She clears the old tin waterspOut;
from dawn to dark she'll hOOf;
She ne'er runs out Of things to scrub
:. and tidy up and clean;
She loves to polish and to rub and
show q shining scene.
And, oh, It seems she never tires,
she keeps upon the jump,
And every bit of her perSplres as
happily she'll hump,
And when she dies and goes In grace
., to Heavens spOtlesS hall.
she won't feel right at all.

Senator Howard Sutherland, has re-
solved herself single-handed into
an entertainment omnittee, keep
ing the convalescent youngsters
amused.
Then there's the sewing commit
tee, Of which Mrs. Eustache Flor
ance, jr., Is chairman-a committee
which has expended $1,000 for the
hospital and produced 10000 articles
sheets, pillow cases, babies cloth
ing, etc. Miss Lucille Johnson and
