JACK'S MOTHER
By RO?B HOlMfcS.
(Copyrlfhr. ?W?, by McChir# N<w*p*p?r
O t course, Jack It* the dearest fallow
in the woi 11. but he often refer* to his
mother'* ithcleucy. Jack's mother to
efficient. 1*11 admit It 1 would also
call her si I a ? economical.
Since the Slogan "Get Behind Hoov
er" has become popular It seems to
m<- (hat Jack baa reform) more fre>
queutly to the efficiency uf hia mother;
has several tlmea intimated that aav
lag a lit tie on living expenses would
be a laudable mubltlon for me. This
Idea wan put In wt^da that I under
stood, when he said :
"My dear, I think $46 too much for
you to spcud on a hat thia season."
So 1 dldu*t spend It I got ? per
fectl.vgood-enough beat hat for $89,
and In order to make It laat longer I
got one that was all right for every
day for $20.
But (hat Isn't what I started to tell
you about. You s^e. we go over to
Jack's mother's for dinner on her
birthday, and thia year was to be *o
exception.
I knew she* would show us her pr?*
serves aud pickle* and cana of things ;
and her last winter's suit that she bad
made as good aa new with the addi
tion of new collar and cuffs.
And 1 happened to think that my
sweater waa dirty, , and that I would
want to wear It under my coat 'If we
motored over; aqd also happened to
think that the fact that It waa dirty
would not eacape efficiency's cyt?.N
Well, cleaning la expensive, and
didn't Jack want me to economise?
Hadn't I paid the moat reliable clean
ing establishment hi Boston $1.75 plus
expressage, for cleaning that- same
sweater not long ago? ? a perfectly ex
orbitant price; Wby,thb sweater only
cost $12.fi0 in the first place. No, it
wasn't one of those expensive band
kntt ones, but it waa a very pretty
sweater* Yes, that soft rose one you j
have seen me wear. . a ?
They say "a penny saved is a penAy
earned," so I decided that I couldn't
earn $1.75 any eusler than to wash
that sweater myself ."with about five
cents' worth of soap.
Did you ever try to wash anything?
We've always sent, the washing out, so
haven't any tubs or wringers or things,
but there was u bathtub. I believe one
of the helps to efficiency is being able
to utilize the things.
It takes a lot of energy 'to get up u
suds In a bathti^, If you are not on
the Inside.
Do you know how much h sweater
weighs when It's wet?
I soaped and rnbbed and squeezed
that garment for the better pact of an
hout; then. If It never became clean, I
wouldn't, have given It another souse.
After I squeezed the water out of
It the best I could and bung It over
the radiator to dry, I went gown town
to try on a perfectly lovely se,t of
furs that w&re In Brown ft Oo.'s win
dow. /
There I met Molly Whltmun ana
pottle French end took them to the
Sally-Ally Tea Room - for something to
eat; then I took them to the Strand
to see Julian El tinge In "Counted*
Charming."* I wanted to Bee . If I
couldn't tell that he isn't a woman
evttTif I didn't know It
I* dropped around to the office for
Jack and we came home together.
We were hardly fb the house before
hfc give me the opening I wanted, by
saying: ? "7^" ? ? : ? - -
"Well, what have yon been doing
today, Hon?"
"Oh, Fve pot the biggest kind of a
surprise for you, Jack; I've been get
ting behind the conservation board!
I saved $1.75 this morning!"
"Pretty good for one morning. Can
you keep up that pace for a year?"
? Throwing my things on a chair as I
passed, I seized the sweater from the
rndtator and held it up.
"See!" I exclaimed.
"What Is it?" he Inquired stupidly.
"Can't you see? It's my sweater! I
washed it myself and .saved $1.70 !"
"Urn ? m ? m. Isn't it a little large?"
'"Large? No; It never was! It fits
all right J" said I, proceeding to Invest
myself.
My arms were not long enough for
the sleeves ? by about a foot ; butbeing
busy wrinkling up t|ie sleeves, I
hadn't observed that Jack was having
a fit or something ; then I looked down
at myself. It was right then that 1
was thankful that I hadn't used wool
soap (the kind mamma used, you
know), for whatever else happened to
that sweater, I would not want to have
deprived it of the amount it "shrunk."
It was originally a fashionable length ;
It now escaped the floor by about nine
Inches. The pockets, which were nor
mally placed, could now be observed
as little sacks hanging near the bot
tom. And the belt! That was also
normally placed, but now, ' If tied,
would greatly Interfere with lpcomo
HoK ? ? ? ? J
I didn't care anything about the old
sweater^ anyway ; but there was Jack
In fits of laughter; and It Is 'so hu
miliating to have failed when one Is
striving to compete with an economical
mother-in-law. v- rs ,
Well, I just stripped the old thing off
and threw ti in bis face and started
for the bedroom. Yes, I was ci^fing.
but hadn't my bead half covered up,
with a pillow before Jack came, say
ing:
"There ? there? Honey I She did try
to economize?did try to save her old
mna fl.75! There ? there she can get
ber a new sweatee?" and he tucked
tfir*?e yellow-backs fn mj hand.

Whenever' you hear a company of
crows "cawing" and "hawing" in the |
woods, you may be sure something is
happening. It may be only a small boy

stray dog munching a bone; a fox .steal

by daylight nWay from home, or it may
he a tloaen flflffreiit things tlmt would
mean nothing to us, but to their way
of thinking, they are fraught with the
weal or woe of crows yet unhatched.
Hut of all their tree- top- functions, the
one when they do their wholesale court
ing, is the mbst important, and the one
most generally attended. It is like the
opening of the opera season in some
music-mad city ? the event of events.
There is no set date for this lover's
conclave, but it usually takes ^piace in
late March, or early April. About the
time maples are blushing at their for
wardness, and when -die arbutus is warm

the crows of a wide area gather in some
favorite pine grore and devote whole days
to the serious business of making- lore.
With the crows, this thing of winning
a mate, is not enacted in some sequester
ed -spot where mote At? two la consid
