acre of mountain farm land pro-
duced more than 10000 pounds Of
Danish Bold head cabbage this year

Mothers Must Not Neglect to
Be Vices, HOusekeepers Also

to come in, she thought a long
while about her life, and at last,
in desperation, resolved to try.
Perhaps it would bring Arthur
back to her.
The next morning she bundled
Junior out doors to play in the
fenced yard, and checked over
what needed to be done in the
house. Then she pitched in and
cleaned the living room and din
ing room. Lunch time came before
she was through. She fed Junior
and put him down for his nap.
While he slept, she washed the
curtains and prepared the vege-
tables for dinner. Mildred looked
over her clothes, picked out her
most attractive afternoon frock
and finished pressing it before
Junior walked up. She let him play
in bed while she snatched a hasty
bath. After Junior was dressed, his
mother took her time to fix her
hair and "doll-up" as she grinned
to herself. Between 4:30 and 6 she
ironed and put up the curtains and
put dinner on the table.
Arthur walked in and frowned.
'Going to have company"
s'No," Mildred answered, her
heart pounding rapidly. Arthur
looked at her quizzically but said
nothing. After supper he offered
to help with the dishes, and put
Junior to bed with a great romp-
ing. When that was over, he set
tied down to read, with no men
ton of the club. Mildred had not
hoped for such immediate success.
She was so tired she wanted to cry,
but instead, she smiled a little to
herself.
The next day she continued her
program of Strengthening up the
house, varying it with trip TO
town for two new dresses and some
fashionable Grapes for the living
room. To her great surprise, she
discovered that Junior didn't break
his neck or catch the smallpox
every time she left him alone for
al minute. His clothes were not al
ways smooth now, and his fat lit
tie cheeks and hands got grubby
when he played in the dirt, but he
seemed none the worse. By the end
of the week, Mildred found that
even with all her extra work, she
had more leisure than ever before.
Saturday evening Arthur suggest
ed that he take her to the thea
tire.
ooh, but Junior" Mildred be-
gan, but stopped. "Well, 1 guess
the girl next door will look after
him all right. I'll call her."
Three months later, Mildred's
continuous efforts fere repaid

a friend that mildred certainly
has the knack of being a wife,
mother and housekeeper all in one,
