Mary whimpered a little and had to
be comforted. When Harvey finally
came down, Lucille was already tired.
Isn't breakfast ready?" asked Har-
vey. Il should think you'd be able to
get this one meal on time. It's the
only one in which time Is important.
! don't want to say anything, but you
know. dear"
"Oh. no, you don't want to say any,
thing" Lucile's voice was sharp. You
try getting breakfast, with two children
under your feet. and see how easily you
get 1t done. Other women She
checked herself II don't see why
there's any hurry, anyway"
There's Just this much hurry.

Lucille wanted to scream. Instead.
she smiled at Harvey 1t would keep
him on the subject If she said any
thing.
Breakfast is ready" she told him.
The bacon was too brown--it had
been frying while she took the fork
away from Junior.
Harvey said, whats the matter with
the coffee, honey? Is this the same
brand We used to get?"
It's the same brand" said Lucille
I'm sorry you don't like it."
It's all right. Don't get put out at
every word say. / didn't say I didn't
ike it. 1t just tastes sort of different
That coffee that my mother uses seems
to have more flavor to It, You might
ask her what brand she gets"
OF course, your mother would get
everything better than I do"
There YOU 60" said Harvey; " a man
ant open his mouth without getting

am afraid to say a thing In my own
house. Look what Juniors doing-if
you watched him, instead of quarreling
with me at breakfast"
Junior was pouring the contents of
the cream pitcher into the sugar bowl.
'Oh, heavens" gasped Lucille. She
grabbed the pitcher from Juniors hand.
Junior turned, knocked the sugar bowl
to the floor. 1t broke making a mass
OF cream, sugar, and glass. Mary
started to cry.
Now. look what you have done!"
said Harvey. IF you had let the boy
alone"

A Bit of Freedom Which Had Unusual Features

a dozen of the available domestics In
Kensington without any results. Though
she didn't have the courage to tell the
girls, she actually liked taking care OF
Junior and Mary part of the time, and
she liked getting dinners for Harvey
Still. II she had car of her own. so
she could leave the babies with grand
mother-~or If
Lucille didn't rebel outwardly, No use
making Harvey unhappy. Harvey
worked hard ell day. deserved peace and
quiet. Well, goodness knows. he had It.
When he came home In the evening, If
there wasn't something special to do, he
liked to work in the garden, After sup
per, in Winter or Summer, when they
were alone-which IVES nearly every
evening--he would fall asleep over his
paper or magazine at remarkably
early hour Not that Lucille blamed
Harvey To tell the truth, she fell
asleep Just little after he did-work
and babies do not leave much energy,
pies and played bridge. but Harvey
didn't like cards.
OH Harvey was fine. dependable and
thoughtful-had a sense of humor, too

You make perfect slave of your
self over Harvey and the children
it's perfect nonsense" Dot said
Not that she'd change places with Dot
or Ruth or Gertrude. She wouldn't
give up Harvey or Junior or Mary. Still
there were times But this couldn't
be life-all OF it--this working and
yes. quarreling. Especially If breakfast
were delayed
Breakfast! That was the hardest
part of the day. Any morning! This
morning! The alarm clock rang. 1t
seemed to Lucille as If she had Just
fallen asleep. Mary had been restless
during the night and she had had to get
up twice with her Harvey didn't hear
her.
Now. the alarm awakened Lucille into
full consciousness. She ran in to look
at Mary. who was sleeping: hurried into
the bathroom for her shower and had
inst started to put on her clothes when
she heard Junior. He was talking to
himself. She ran In to him, knowing

He said the same things Al hoth

II right. The ones that was named

the ones that did the nominating. where
