THEIR HOMEMAKING EXPERIMENT (®. by D. J. Walsh.) HE small nickel clock on the stand at the side of the bed gave a warning click that in just half a minute it would strike six, the time for Miriam Nourse to rise and prepare breakfast for Dan, her hus- band. She slipped out of bed and, dressing hurriedly, went downstairs, Going through the hall she adjusted the chains to the furnace and In Whe dining room she pulled up the shades. She paused a moment before entering the kitchen. She dreaded what she was to find in the kitchen because the night before her daughters, Caro- line and Helen, had entertained some of their crowd, but even past expe- rience had not prepared her fully for what~she found. A fast drying-up loaf of bread and an empty cream bottle gave mute evidence to the fact that the girls had raided the Kitchen in search of “eats,” and a pile of sticky dishes In the sink announced the fact that they had had a perfect bout of candy-making. Miriam picked up the empty bottle and sighed. That empty bottle meant that there was no cream for Dan's morning cup of cof. fee, and Dan without his morning cof- fee—, She turned to the stove to put on the drafts and found that her heedless girls had not attended to the fire after their frolic and the fire was out, “Oh, those girls! Will 1 cver be able to teach them to be thoughtful” With a sigh Miriam took the coffee can down from its corner In the kitchen cabinet. [It was so light that she did not have to remove the cover to learn that the girls had used up the last drawing of “Well” she thought, “there isn't any time to worry now. I'll have to do my best, which, I'm afraid, good this morning coffee, fsn't very Just as breakfast downstairs “Oh, rofiee . cup of ™ Dan was you forg a splendid “No coffee “Did orange appoin oil t.

You're as white as a bet another headaches on, tired to see the way you wear yourself out fussing I'd let it go If 1 were you.

When I get a house I'm going to let it take care of ftgelf. Oh, I'd like to live In this house for one week and do just as I please, and I bet we'd be lots more comfortable and never know the dif- ference, either.” The girls would, no doubt, have continued the conversation, becatse their mother's housekeeping methods came up for frequent discussion, but Miriam unexpectedly Interrupted. “Girls,” she sald, “I'm going to make a bargain with you. Your fa- ther, you know, ls going away on a business trip this afternoon. He will be gone ten days. Suppose during his absence we try out your housekeeping methods or lack of method? I won't interfere in any way. We will all do just as we please” “Honestly, mother,” Caroline cried with enthusiasm, “have you come to your senses at last? DDo you mean that you won't nag us to plek things up and do all those absolutely un- necessary things?” “You girls needn't do a single thing you don’t want to,” assured Miriam. “1 think it is only fair for you to have a chance to work out some of your modern methods at housekeeping since you do not approve of mine" “It's a good Idea, mother,” cried Helen, "You'll see we'll be a happler family and we'll teach you how to really enjoy life, But we can't begin the experiment unfil tomorrow morn. ing because we are Invited over to Amy Frank's to dinner to night, but tomorrow morning, mother, you'll see you'll see” When morning came the girls arose early and hurried downstairs, They were surprised to find that their moth- er was not already at her post in the kitchen and Helen rushed buck up- stairs to discover the reason. When ghe opened the door she was amazed to see her mother propped up in bed reading a book, “Are you sick, mother?” Helen eried in alarm. “No, Indeed,” Mrg, Nourse sald, mud her smile was reassuring. “I'm only taking my time about getting up. I've always wondered why you girls loved just chimed old-fashioned, to lle In bed 80 Inte mornings end 1 nm beginning to find out, Get your breadfast whenever you like. I'll get mine when I get ready to get up.” “Then you aren't really sick?” Helen's eyes looked bewildered, “Not a bit,” Mrs. Nourse shook her head. “Now run along, dear.” At ten, when the girls had left the house to spend a morning at the “gym,” Mrs. Nourse slipped downstairs to get something to eat, The long wait for her breakfast had made her almost faint. The sight that met her eves was just what she expected. The girls had eaten a hasty breakfast and away leaving their unwashed dishes on the breakfast table. Habit was strong, and instinctively Miriam started to pick up the dishes, but, with a shake of her head she simply shoved tham to one side and ate her own breakfast on one corner of the table. She was going to spend the morning shopping and intended to lunch down town, Mirlam had a delightful morning She met an old friend whom she had pot seen in a long time and It was two o'clock before she returned home, She found the dining room just ns she had left it in the morning, and going on Into the kitchen she found that the «irls had prepared a hasty lunch and enten it on a corper of the kitchen cabinet. On one of the dirty plates lny a note which Informed her that the girls had gone motoring out into the country, but would he back before dinner, It took every bit of will power Mirinm possessed to Ignore the appeal, “We'll surely be home early for din. ner.” She realized that the girls with their healthy appetites had gone motoring In the cold, bracing air for tified with only a sketchy lunch, and that, after a skimpy breakfast, but she got a piece of paper and wrote a note and left it beside the one she had found on the dirty plate. She in- formed them that she had gone out to lis and they need not expect her until back.
