There to something about tbo loot few days of staying (n any place tbot U dis tracting, but tbe country is tbe worst of all. After getting every last thing done you always need a full day to do tbo otber things you hadn't thought about. '7 "J always allow for that. Henry never can see why. if bo calculates that we can leave Thuraday, I always explain to blm that we will leave PrI* day. "'With everything done!' bo 'roars at mo in protest ; 'Why do Ami think we want to stick around hero with nothing to do and everything packed and the fireplace cleaned out so we can't have a fire and the rooms full of porch furniture T It's ridiculous I' '"We wlU leave Ftiday. Henry.' X toll him soothingly. 'Then tverjrbody works Hke mad, Thursday morning Ikmry > always comes in dragging off his work glove* and sits down with a thump. >. " 'Well,' he says, Tve finished up ?ut side. I've covered the flower ftgd* with a match of leaves and burlapped %be honeysuckle vines and- spaded up the garden, I've put away the bose^ and laid a board over the chimney ? ' V'Oo right op and take It off?* I tell him, severely. 'How do you sop pose we're going to cook Junch and< dinner and breakfast and lunch again with the chimney stopped upr "Henry has forgotten all about the fact that we etUi have to eat, so be sheepishly clambers, up on the roof and throws the board down, it gets split up for kindling by t^O cook an hour later, and there never is another that will exactly fit. st> the feext sear son we find chipmunk^ and mice and other wild creatures sociably room ing in the cottage when wo get there, and are Irritably disturbed at being turned out. ? 'I don't see,' Henry pursues after WTlW disposed of the chimney board, 'why we can't tako the evening train tonight. Tour trunks are allpacked?' "All but .the curtains and soft pil lows and candlestick an<( most of my clothes,' I remind him. . "By the way, have you wrapped those dishes for packing in the barrel?' ' , . "That keeps him occupied '^for, some time. Then, too, be finds a punch bowl that we borrowed from the Perklnsons and forgot to return, so he has to walk two miles with that- Then he has to attend to the man who comes to set out fiiirubs and then I tell him about two places in the roof tnat leak nnfl bo ha& to get asphalt and mesa around and fix them. Usufdly he still grum bles at supper time' about the foolish-' neas of our remaining over till next day, but I'm so busy fixing the canned fruit to ship back to. town, folding away curtains and putting away lamps that I don't mind him. ' "In the morning 1 ask Henry brisk ly If he has remembered to tako off the window screens and tako down tbo porch screens, bring In the spade and the rake and nail up the broken place In the fence. That makes him Jomp hastily and cry out: 'By Georget If I hadn't nearly forgot thatl' "Then when he. tries to turn off tbo water and drain the pipes he breaks a valve or something and he hao to make a special trip to the vlflage for help while the oook and I pile rug* and bricks on the leaky places and get soaked and catch awful colds. "Usually, just as we are locking ttp the house I remember that I haven't emptied the tank of the kitchen stove, and that reminds Henry that be kas completely neglected to empty thebot water boiler. He comes dragging In * watering can, two flower pots mad a carpet beater which have been loft outside. . .. "However, we finally lock th^i JMft door and start. Half way to tbo launch I ask him If he put out the next door neighbor's cat, which had wandered In that morning. Henry is peevish bjr now and demands to know If I think "he has nothing to do but play nurse maid to a cat, so we drop the snitr cases and go back and unlock place, raise all the window curtains and search for the animal. Sometlmdil we find her and sometimes we don't, and If we don't I am haunted all wli? ter by the fear that she has died a lla gerlng death. "Every little while al> the way back to tbo XrJ*??X>- W 1 ^member somethlng'xMl|.f<irgotten to do. I have heated arguments with He over whether I have left the mat loose on the fireplace mantel or Ot whether I emptied the pint of Ink that will drip over the if It freezes and breaks. X can't < tell whether I remembered to all the flower vases, either, and Henry left a box full of cigars; writing table.
