This is the, third day of our planned home-va-, cation. Early this morning, the wife said, "The lawn needs mowing migh-| ty bad, and the hedge could stand a decent trimming.” I could tell from' the way she looked at me that she thought I was the pne to do this work, and me on my vacation. I found it possible during the day, to hire a I little 15c-per-hour-runty j negro who agreed to “clean up ev ery thing (including me financially) for only 75c per hour. We traded. It took him 5 hours to do two. hours work. He smoked homemade cig- aarettes and used a third of his time making them and a fourth of hisi time smoking them. No other negro passed within 3 blocks of “him at work” without stopping and chatting at least 25 minutes with my “labor” about noth ing. He was the thirstiest darky I ever saw. He kept tjie coook busy fixing ice-water for him. He whet ted the mower on my time for about 75c. By MARY E. DAGUE June brides are July housekeepers with their housewifely cares heavy or light according to their exper ience. Marketing, meal planning, cooking and cleaning fill days that were formerly spent some other way. So in order tp accomplish all your housekeeping duties and also have some time for other interests and ac tivities you will have to work out an efficient system. In the first place don’t dwad- d!e about your work. It’s a habit extremely tiring. Not that you should hurry and rush through tasks under nervous tension but train your hands to move quickly and surely without unnecessary motions. Plan your work and allow yourself a reasonable amount of time for each job. Don’t be discouraged if your work seems to go slowly at first. That old saw “Practice makes perfect” applies to housekeeping just as aptly as It does to a golf stroke of' running a type writer. It’s a good idea to plan meals at least three days ahead. That reduces marketing to twice a week arfd saveS a worth while amount of time. Make it a rule never to let your self be entirely out of any staple article. Reorder supplies at least ! three days before you will need i them. Keep your emergency shelf : well stocked. I once knew a girl who was the ' soul of neatness and order after she went into her own home as a bride, j But before her marriage she was | utterly careless of all her possessions | and of other people’s time. It’s so much easier to put things away when you are through with them than to wait for a regular “clearing- up time.” “Order is Heaven’s • first law,” you know, so why not make it the first law of Home. - Housekeeping is a business 'and home-making is an art. Both need serious study and consistant appli cation. Your home is your back ground. It reflects your personality along with the measure of your hus band's success.

We had country-style fried chicken and ac companiments today, including gravy, rice, baked sweet potatoes, etc. We almost felt that we were not on a vacation after all.

We felt that we would be cleaner by staying ashore. The water was muddy and smelt sort of verminy. We have saved $86 up to now by staying at home for our vacation. The Fifth Day of Vacation at Home Was Not Too Pick-Nicky Somebody suggested today that we go a-fishing, stating that fishing and vacations (even vacations at home) go hand in hand.

KMU All FIVI OF TNI COMMON ATNUVrS F0OY.FNMOI ON CONTACV I found our old mattock and be took myself to the wormiest place I could imagine, right behind the barn. It had not rained here in 4 weeks. The ground was as hard as cement paving. The mattock would bounce back at me every time I slung it earthward. I could not find a soft place to dig. * o'** After plugging away for^bout 20 minutes in a temperature of 94 be hind the barn I found one little long | worm about the size of a small knit- ! ting needle. It would be impossible ; to thread such a slim worm on even i a minnow hook, much'' less the big black bass hook I had fixed up. The fishing trip had to be called off for lack of bait. When I got thru trying to dig, I was not physi- ! cally able to go anywhere except to i bed. So we spent the day lounging around the houss, but the wife found so many odd jobs for me to do, I with the Welfare boys near the court finally went down town and loafed house, -v j An alert dealer never overloob opportunities for smart purchases which ifieen substantial cash-in-tho bank profits from retail resale.
