We've had a visitor for the past month - my great-aunt, dear little soul in her 7O's! The chill dren, as well as my husband and I, love to gather around her chair and listen to the stories she tells of her girlhood.
 The other evening, Aunt Susan who insists on helping me-was preparing to help my daughter, Nancy, shampoo her hair. As I brought in a fresh bar of soap - sure enough = story was in progressi Aunt Susan was telling Nancy that when she was a tiny girl, soap was made right at home. Then in later years, she said, when they did buy the bar soap they stored it up in the attic to let it dry to a chip. Nancy listened eagerly as Aunt Susan - who weaved it all into a fascinating story = explained that the first bars of soap were wrapped in paper that looked like the funny papers,, and didn't keep the moist ure. So, to prolong the life of the soap, housewives removed the wrapper and stored it in the attic.
 Then as Aunt Susan took the bar had unwrapped she showed Man. cy the two wrappings held, the outer covering and the inner wax ed paper. She explained that the waxed paper kept the soap fresh and moist indefinitely, and (as she deftly lathered Nancy's hair) makes it easy to get lots of suds.
 We'll, Aunt Susan's story con- tinued until the dreaded shampoo ing process was over holding Nancy's interest every minute! And I thought to myself as I listened that each one of her stories had taught the children a valued lesson. In this one-Nancy learned that value of waxed paper = in others, dozens of tricks that will make her a better helper At home - and some day 8 superior housewife in her own home.
