wife spends a third or tenth of her
time in the kitchen preparing the
meals, washing the dishes or doing
the other routine jobs, it is to be
hoped that there is window through
which she may view the great pro-
duction of nature more thrilling
than any theatrical extravaganza.
Maybe her window looks to the
east where she sees the sun rise. Be
lore her eyes the days wax and wane
IS the seasons change No picture
can. boast a greater array of colors
in all the tints and shades and hues
of reds, blues, green's and yellows
flung against the sky.
Maybe she sees distant mountain
range, snow-capped with somber
green at its feet, or highlighted by
the sun against the clear blue sky.
Maybe it is a tree on a hill, leaf
stripped branches lace-like against
the winter sky. AS the days lengthen,
the swelling buds burst into pale
green leaves. Through the warmth of
summer they cover the branches,
then yellow and fall with the waning
season.
Maybe it is a level field. The snow
covering is dissolved by the warm
spring breezes and it is gradually
showing a greenish cast. Greener
and taller, the ripping, waving grain
finally bends with heavy golden
-reapers- and stubble again.
Maybe it is a green pasture with
4 winding lazy stream where little
wobbly legged calves caper and ca
wort. Or it may be road that goes
ON and on until it is lost at the hori-
ron.
All are back drops for the kitchen
window stage. And the proscenium
or the front of the stage just outside
her window-what of it? Rubbish or
rubble or weeds?
Or maybe a plot of grass where
children play, or neat rows of flow
ers and vegetables carefully tended
