THE subject of dishwashing and
anything that could be said
against ii come up between /
and George, that's my hus-
band, when we started to plan
out our Summer vacation.
Well Jennie, he says to me, the boss
took the calendar today and allotted
me a coupla weeks out of it for my
own personal use What'll we do with
il now that we got it? And l says.
well, dear. here we got this lovely
home with a nice yard and all, why
don't we be sensible this yr. and spend
it here? There are lots of little things
YOU could do around the place.
And Geo. says at once l was speak
ing about vacations. not extra jobs
besides, my dear, think that for
your sake we oughter have change.
like we have every yrt, also for Jun
TORS, how about going up TO the Sap
dopeka Golf Club and taking bun
galoo? And | says huh! so you could
be Goursing around the course all day
viii = ! was attending to waShout on
the Nain domestic line, or washing
the breakfast dishes SOS to get
throAgh in time to dirty up the din
ner dishes. sos to get the dinner dish
cs washed before time to dirty up the
supper dishes and etc. No, George, l
says, no bungaloo this summer, on
account am talking about vacations,
the same as you are.
Well then, says Geo, how about
camping out some place, | hear where
there is a lovely spot on lake Whoops-
emup, And I says, we'll, dear, the
only spot l would see there would be
a grease spot, and all the change I
would get would be the rustic employ
ment of washing tin plates in natures
diShpan, meaning the lake, instead of
china dishes in a human one, no, it's
too hard on the small Of the back,
what / want is a complete vacation
whore l don't hafto raise a hand and
have nothing to do but enjoy myself.
And Geo. says WELL how about GO
ing to Newport and taking a fifty
roo furnished house with twelve
SERVANTS, whatter you want, any
ways? And l says don't be sarcastic,
q hafto wash dishes even there, on
account wouldn't know any acquaint-
ances and I'd be driven to 1t to keep
my time full. Hot Bozo. ! says, where
are all those superior brains of yours
that you are always telling the boss
at the Office about, why not give me
an example of them? Go on, think UP
some good original place for US to go
that will be novelty.
And George give one quick think
and says, why not go and pay that
visit to Aunt Eata, she's been ask
ing us so long now that I feel kinda
like we owed it to her. l wouldn't
wonder If next time she wrote she
was to put please remit on the bot
tom of the invitation. We really
ought to pay it.
WELL, it appeared to me that may
be this was a good idea of
Georges on account Aunt Eata GER
tainly had a lovely old house, it was
one of them big enormous houses
which was invented in the days when
hired girls got all Of three dollars
a week, and steak and potatoes to
feed 'em on run TO about fifteen cents
a meal. OF course Aunt Eata didn't
have no body of Amazon help any
more, she done her own work and
why not, living there alone like she
did, but the grounds was a fine place
for Junior 10 play around in and it
was a nice quiet town.
What was even further, Il wouldn't
cost us a cent, which would be a
distinct novelty where we and Vaca-
tionS was concerned. Besides, II
would give me q complete rest, Wis
iting somebody elses house. So l
set right down and wrote her a let
ter and says IL she still wanted US,
why we would be delighted to come,
but please be perfectly frank in say
ing no if it wasn't convenient as I
would understand perfectly. So she
wrote back a nice letter and says
do come by all means and get
thorough rest. she wasn't conner
let me lift a hand the whole while.
she thought it was high time 1 had
change from home, although she
didn't suppose there was ever any
left over from what Geo. allowed
me And etc
