THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL.

! coffee too strong. Coffee is peculiar
brew--a drop too strong and 1t runs a
chance of becoming weedy. Real
cream helps a lot. too.
| ~ o'clock--There's the paper! Sun
day really begins for most moderns
with the big Sunday paper. We have
an incurable urge to know what Is go
ing on. We want to read about the
plays we won't go to and the sporting
events we never saw.
"8 o'clock~Breakfast. one OF the high
spots of The day, without doubt
| Maybe it shouldn't be so. but 1t Is. We
| hate to confess to the Great Public
that VIC eat In bathrobe and slippers,
but we imagine a large portion of the
aforementioned Great Public do exactly
| the same thing--or less-so we should
worry. Honesty Is great virtue, and
when should one be honest II not on
Sunday?
"9 o'clock-This battery needs 'charg-
ing so the radio set will have plenty
Of pep for the church service. This
| charger was one of our best radio in
vestments-it charges to a fare-you-
we'll. 1t is an old and antiquated model,
but it still works, with a most cheerful
gurgle. Some of the new chargers
make no noise at all, but after one has
listened to this type he never feels
that the others are doing any good.
Thus one secs that a little noise while
working Is a good thing.
40 o'clock--Here we have been read
ing the paper for another hour. We
have amassed great deal Of informa-
tion, some useless, it is true. but 1t Is
all interesting. and some of it helpful.
What more can one ask OF print, or
what more can one get out of book?
al o'clock--We particularly like the
organ during the broadcast of the
church service. We suspect that If it
were not for the organ--well, anyway
We like to hear the organ. Is the
preacher referring TO us when he says
that he hopes the sound of his voice
will redeem some sinner somewhere?
We hope not. Anyway. we don't like
the way the loud speaker Is perform
ing today, so we turn the set off. The
service vanishes. We feel conscience
stricken. Surely one should go to
church-more is this true today than
ever before.
"l1:15-But there Is that room to
varnish Surely 1t will do no harm
to varnish that room. 1t must be done
and here is plenty OF time. so get out
the can. and pry up the lid.
III l;20-Something new in varnishes
dries In four hours. SO they say on
the can. We will see.
Il p.m.--Dinner, while the string
quartet and the soprano furnish us
with Beethoven while we eat Music
while you eat ought TO be soft. soothing
music. Jumpy. jerky music makes for
indigestion
"2 oclock-Where is that book? Oh
here it Isl Well
IS o'clock--The varnish is dry! Even
the cat walked across 1t without so
much as sniff. Where is that story?--
Oh. all right! I'll finish this story by
supper. or pust.
"6 o'clock-Now We eat again. No
doubt person ought to go out on Sum
day afternoon. but when 1t rains, that
Is another matter
"6:30~An inspection OF the garden
In the cleaning shows that a few more
rcsebushes would not come amiss,
Several Claudius Pernets and at least
one Mrs. Caroile Testout. The former
is the beautiful yellow rose. the latter
the time-tried pink that made Port
land. Greg, famous among rosarians.
"8 o'clock-Here / am about ready
to go to bed-the first time I'll lot it
down and see
"9 oclock--To bed at last. Oh hun, :"
