How a Woman Novelist Keeps House IF you ask Eleanor Hallowell Abbott how she manages to keep house and at the same time write sparkling stories that make eyes twinkle and hearts grow tender, she will answer: 'Fm notjust keeping house F m keeping farm ! Hayfields as well as rooms to be swept, and an eight-acre hill-top of war crops that's harder to dust than even my work room mantelpiece!" In the October Woman's Home Companion she tells how she does it, and describes her every-day, pen-in-hand and duster-in-hand life. AND this story of her, appears in the same issue as a new story by her, 'Old Dad,"a very real and livingstory,strong ly reminiscent of the charm of "Molly Make Believe." It is published in two long install ments, the first of which appears in the October Companion. It's a humorous, tender tale that ripples lightlyalong,but is based on the significant things of life. For women everywhere arc in search of the significant. And the Woman's Home Companion is giving it to them: the significant in fiction, in fashion, in food preparation; the things that really count in the home, such as: Hoiv to make a before-the-war pay envelope cover the prices of today; How to buy food; Hoiv to cook food notjust how to get it ready for the table, but how to cook it so thatjw: will be hungry for it; Hoiv to make a cheerless home com fortable and inviting, at small cost; How to find happinc ?s in home-making, child-rearing aria progress build ing; and How to help with the nation's war work additio7i to all these. "But are these the really significant things?" you ask. These are the only truly significant things. For no matter what a woman may do in addition, her home comes first especially in these days when women are become the keepers of absent soldiers' homes, the Home Guard of the great American Army. These truly sig?iificant things offer all the thrills of rom ance, beauty and duty that the world can yield a woman. They are the basis of the Woman's Home Companion Woman's Home Companion The Crowell Publishing Co.
