Still, it Seemed Warm.

A Cherryvale merchant came home from the breeze of an electric fan and three iced cakes last night and said peevishly to his wife: “You can certainly get this house good and warm. What do you do to do it?” And the wife replied meekly, as she pushed J>ack the few straggling hairs and nailed them in place with a grinning wire hatpin: “I don’t see why it Is hot; I put a ham on to boil at six o’clock this morning and baked bread, and did a little ironing, and while I had the oven hot I baked a batch of cookies and a couple of pies and heated the water for the children’s baths and scrubbed the floor. But I haven’t had any fire to speak of except to broil a steak and bake some potatoes since five o’clock this afternoon. It seems kind of cool-like to me.” —Cherryvale (Kan.) Journal.
