IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an interesting review of their home lire and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat of living with them.)

FRIDAY. "There Is no use in talking" exclaimed Mrs. Wright, when the group of clubwomen had assembled for their weekly meeting and Mrs. Hooper had ushered them out on the cool shady porch, "the difficulties that surrounds the business of keeping on a time schedule when you are doing your house work make it mighty discouraging." “I agree with you." spoke up Mrs Owen and there was a disheartened note In her Toiee. "It is all Tery well to put down on paper the statement that you will be finished in the kitchen and be upjßtairs making the beds at a stated hour “every day, but when you try to live up to it you find that you haven’t allowed nearly enough time for anything." “And watching the clock seems to make housework more of a drudgery than ever,” complained Mrs. Wright. “I didn’t get anywhere with my experiment this week ’ * "W hilt seemed to ho the trouble?’’ asked Mrs Hooper. "Did you find that thp special weekly tasks still crowded out the regular routine work or did you have difficulty with the original outline?" She sensed that the task of converting thse women to a systematised plan ft doing their housework so that they would help her in her big object of convincing all the women members of the club that it was the proper way to manage a home, was not to be such en easy one, as she had at first supposed. She realised that each one of them with the possible exception of Mrs. Campbell and th Bride would have to be reasoned with separately before she would become the enthusiast that would be a real help in making the work of her economic section of the Woman's Club a success "next winter. Mrs. Wright took the schedule they had outlined last week and prepared to explain her own special trouble with It. "This schedule may he all right for your house, Mrs. Hooper,” she began, “but it won't work in mine.” “Os course you all understand." interrupted Mrs. Hooper, “that this plan of work fits one particular set of con ditions which happens to exist in my household. As the majority of us have *the same size families and a similar type of house and have no small babies, or invalids, the schedule as it stands will at least furnish the basis upon which each one of yon can make a working outline that will fit the conditions in your indi vidnal hoase-ioids." “Well, that's Just It," exclaimed Mrs. Wright helplessly, “if we begin to change it where shonid we start and isn’t it reasonable to suppose that the whole thing will fall to pieces as a place for standardizing our housework if we attempt to fit it to our individual needs.” "Not at all." Insisted Mrs. Hooper. “We will show you now by reconstructing your schedule so that It will fit the special conditions existing In your home —that the idea is practical.” "Well, for instance,” pointed but Mrs Wright, “ft would take me a very great deal longer to do my cleaning than It does you Mrs. Hooper, because I have three or four times as much furniture in each room as you have. Therefore, the time down on this schedule for cleaning upstairs and downstairs is altogether too short.” . “Well,” said Mrs. Hooper smiling, "the best way to adjust to that condition Is to eliminate some of the furniture—you’ probably have a great many unnecessary things in every one of your rooms. My whole hou<e used to be crowded up that way until I went through it systematically and cleared out everything that we didn't actually need.” “Oh. I don’t believe I could weed out my things that way. 1 have so much sentiment about them. Besides Mr. Wright is so fond of the old things that- we’ve had for so many years, that I don't believe he'd consent to their being disposed of.” “He’d probably object Rt first.” observed Mrs. Chapin. “My husband made a dreadful fuss when I cleared ont the "stuffed ducks and the mounted deer's heads which were his trophies of the hunt, and that ifad adorned our dining room for fifteen years because he was so proud of them. But the room looks so much better since I've removed all that trash with which It was tilled that he is delighted and actually asked me the other day, why in the world I had kept it around so long—when I would have thrown ft away years ago but for the fear of hurting his feelings.” "I had the same difficulty with Mr. Hooper before I consigned an aWful assortment of family crayons to the attic,”

Mem Y on May Marry By E. R. PEYSER

Haa a man like this proposed to you? Symptoms: Young, fair, adorable. He 1b a year or two your Junior. He thinks he Is so much older in experience that "It doesn’t matter." He’s mad about you. He has just been practicing law a few years, is doing well, every one takes to him —he has lovely manners, lovely clothes, treats himself very gently. IN FACT He puts the gentle in gentleman.

laughed Mrs. Hooper, “but in the Interest of more artistic and better kept hemes we must be firm In the face of such opposition from our husbands." “Then," went on Mrs. Wright after acknowledging that the cutting down of cleaning work rested in her own hands, “when you assign an arbitrary number of minutes to each task, you do not takp into consideration the fact that I may not work as fast as you do and that I may not use the same tools." "Two more very good reasons why you must fit the schedule to your own limitatations,” agreed Mrs. Hooper. “I suppose the only way to discover how long ’. takes you to do a piece of work.” said the Br'je timidly, “Is to actually watch the clock." “Certainly It is." concluded Mrs. Hooper. "I have discovered that it takes one five minutes to make a double bed and three minutes for a single bed. 1 can brush up each of the bedrooms in twelve minutes and the daily care of the bathroom takes ten minutes. On that hasis I can easi'y figure out how much time I need to and) my upstairs work and each one of you can do the same.” “That’s Just the kind of a whip I hate to hold over myself," said Mrs. Owen, “but let each one of us time ourselves on our kitchen work, as Mrs. Hooper has

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By Dft'id Cory

When Puss awoke one morning in his Magic Boat it was sailing up the Nile. And as it came dose to the river bank he saw an Egyptian mother holding her baby in her arms. So Buss jumped out of his Magic Boat as goon as it touched the shore, and when he turned to look at the river Nile he saw a big crocodile swimming in the water. “Look, my Dttle one,” said too mother, "see the great crocodile. Look on the great monster, for it will bring you luck through life.” And then the Egyptian woman turned away, for she was afraid Buss might say, “What a pretty baby you have,” "

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1921.

and the Egyptians believe that it is bad ! luck to praise a child, and they are afraid of the "Evil Eye,” and so keep their children dressed in the most unattractive clothes so that no one will ; notice them. Well, after that Puss walked along the bank of the Nile, where the lizards lay sunning themselves in the warm sand, for it never rains in Egypt except along the Mediterranean, and by and by he came to a beautiful garden where a little Egyptian boy was working. And. oh my. What wonderful fruits were there. Musk melons and water melons, grapes, purple and white and pink, figs and fat pomegranlteß, peaches, oranges, apricots and all sorts of citrons. Bananas, too, and prickly pear, and olives and all kinds of vegetables. And then the little Egyptian boy showed Puss his pet eat, for all Egyptians are fond of cats, and of course this pleased Buss, especially when he found out that he was In a land where they worship cats. And then he took Puss for a ride on his donkey, and Puss never saw so many boys in bis life. Why, there was quite an army of them, and for a very small sum of money they would take people for a ride. And as they went through the streets they called out in shrill voices, “Out of the way!” And then the little Egyptian boy told Puss all about the terrible sandstorms that sweep across Egypt, and how they are taught to love the Nile and to pray to it, for all the cultivated land In Egypt Is the mud of that wonderful river, which overflows its banks at certain seasons of the year, and how every child’s ambition is to some day see the Nile
