IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

"Keeping House With the Hoopers

(Tb Hoopers, an average American ] family of five, liTing in a suburban -awn, on a limited income will tell i 'Lie readers of tbe Dally Time* 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 dally in an interesting review of their home lite and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) MONDAY. "Isn’t this luck to have one more day ; added to my vacation?” said Henry, ”be- j cause Labor day happens to come at the end of It. Before Roger goes back to j school tomorrow he can help me put the ; vegetable garden in shape. A lot of j weeding and raking will havo to be done | to clear it out.” “That will keep yon out of the house , all morning, then, while I put away ! your camping clothes, which must be brushed and cleaned, anj get Helen s j things reafly. for school tomorrow, ’ replied Mrs. Hooper, "and as a reward for your labors In the garden, which surely does need attention, you shall ■ have a very special luncheon. I see that you didn’t bring back many of your Supplies, so I must have guessed rather j •well rs to the quality you would need." < ” \Yell, we had a couple of extra feasts the last two days,” laughed Helen, “so we wouldn’t have to carry anything tack. We cooked all the dried vegetables that were left the dav before we started.” “And I must eny Mary,” remarked Henry, “that I am quite converted to the Idea of using them once in a while, because they really do have all the flavor of fresh vegetables bnt I still insist 1 like the ones yon put up In glass Jars very much better.” Mrs. Hooper laughed. “That Is just one of your old- j fashioned prejudices, Henry, and 1 predict that the time will come when all our fruit and vegotables will be senslbl) dehydrated and preserved that way, if for no other reason than that it is more economical and takes much less time to prepare.” “Well, I only hope that all this efficiency and economy of time in the home will leave us a few of the oldfashioned things of which 1 am fond." mourned Henry, “I’m not so strong for eliminating so many things that have made us so comfortable in tue past. “It is this constant elimination,'’ Insisted Mrs. Hooper, “that is making our homes more comfortable all the time, only you men don't seem to knew it. “Bnt to change the subject,” she continued. as Helen and Roger excused themselves from the breakfast table, “does our experiment about the vacation seem to have been a success as far as you and the children are concerned . “It most certainly was.” exclaimed Henry, “and to be perfectly frank, 1 Ajiink we were very much better oif for 'not having you along.” “You mean, I suppose,” laughed Mrs Hooper, “that It was a great relief not to have me regulating everything the way I do at home and that it rested you to get away from my schedules and ; Insistence that things be done on time: “No, I don’t mean that at all.” said Henry. “But you have your hand so constantly on the reins as far as the management of everything Is concerned that I sometimes think that perheps the rest of ns are growing rather helpless In rons o qnence, and going away on our own hook and taking care of ourselves as well as we did was rather reassuring, but It didn't convince me entirely " j Mrs. Hooper didn't reply for several minutes. “Such a danger certainly has never occurred to me.” she answered slowly “I’ve tried to avoid making you and the , children feel that you were living In a factory with a time clock always set, by having the results of regularity so conducive to comfort and harmony that you wouldn't be Irritated eby the machinery that pro luce dtbem. And I certainly think I have succeeded.” “Yon have done that very positively.” agreed Henry, “but the question in my mind has been as to whether you had not succeeded In making the wheels go round so smoothly that all responsibility was lifted from the shoulders of the rest o* us.” “I don’t “e how you can think that. Henry,” Mrs. Hooper dissented, “when a very definite part of each day’s work Is planned for Helen and Roger, and they very seldom neglect the duties that J assign them. Aside from that, you know I’ve never believed that a man should come home from hla office, where -all day he has been doing his share by providing the finances, and help with the housework.” “Again- that Isn’t what I mean, exactly,” persisted Henry. "There Is no doubt that Helen and Roger are both exceedingly obedient and never show the least reluctance at doing very regu-

iarly the tasks you have mapped out for j them. But has it ever occurred to you that their days might be too carefully pianned. and that in consequence they mav never have any initiative l It is that thought that made me anxious to find out, it 1 could, on this vacation trip, whether they had become dependent on i jou that they would be rather at sea when thrown cn their own resources. “And what did you discover,” inquired Mrs. Hooper anxiously. “That Helen is surprisingly alert and ' efficient, but timid about everything she undertakes, and that Roger is hopelessly dependent. “Henry”’ exclaimed Mrs. Hooper, in a horrified tone, “do you mean to say that you believe I have made life so easy for my family that I am injuring their efficiency, and all for the sake of having a home that Is an economic success?” j “I’m only telling you what I observed when the children were away from youx Influence,” insisted Henry. stubbornly, “and I might also add that I sometimes feel rather inefficient myself.” In spite of this jolt to her self esteem.

PUSS IN EOOTS JR. | By David Cory s Now the Sing of Song-of Sixpence Castle, where Buss was In the last story, you remember, stood close to a beautiful river, the River Dee, you know, whore the old mill whose owner once found l flea upon his pillow ground the corn for the farmers. And pretty soon Mother Goose jumped on her Gander and flew away, so Buss went down to the river’s edge and looked over the bank. And just then a beautiful snow-white swan swam up to the bank and said: Little Sir Kitten, get# on my back. And we will go for a sail. Hang on to my long and slender neck. And lean back against my tail. And we will go where the lily pods grow W hite and pink in a pretty row. So Buss Jumped on the swan's back and she swam away, and by and by. after a while, they came to a cluster of lilies, resting on the green pods. “Now. pick one,” said the swan. “But, mind you, be sure to say, 'Wlnky pinky,' or something dreadful will happen. Well, Buss leaned over and picked a flower, and then be said "Blnky wlnky” Instead of “Wlnky pinky.” And. oh, dear me! What do you suppose happened? Why. a great big wicked water snake came up close to him and opened his mouth, and then ho stuck out his long thin red tongue and was Just going to sting poor little Buss Junior when the Swan gave a loud hiss and said: "Be careful. Mr. Snake, what you do. Don't you dare to hurt this little Bussy Cat! I'm surprised that you should think. Because he said ‘Blnky wink,’ That you'd fry to hurt hla lovely feather hat.” "Think before yon speak next time,” said the Water Snake. "That's what my mother always taught me,” and then the

Water Snake swam away, and after that the Swan took Buss across the lake, where he jumped off her back and said good-bye. And then he started off once more In search of new adventure, and ! by and by, after a while, he came to the I House that Jack built. | And, oh, dear me, how it had charged since Buss had seen it. There was a big plaza all around it, and in place of the barn was a nice new garage, and there stood Jack himself, with the Dog that worried tbe Cat. “Helloa, helloa; here's Buss Junior!” shouted Jack, and then the Maiden all Forlorn that milked the cow with the crumpled horn ran out of the house, with the cat that ate the rat close at her heels. And then the cock that crowed in the morn began to sing: "Cook a doodle do, Sir Kitten has returned From foreign lands and coral strands, Across the ocean blue.” And In the next story you shall hear what happened after that. —Copyright, 192 L (To be Continued.)

Pickpockets Lose by Art Center Change LONDON, Sept. 3.—Burlington House, the present home of tbs Royal Academy rrhiblticn, does not seem to afford such a fine harvest for pickpockets as the great room at Somerset House, where exhibitions were held until 1937, remarks the London Morning Dost. A wooden dado ran around the room nd when, after the academy resigned oossession, this was removed In the course of renovations, the narrow space between it and the brickwork was found to be stuffed with Innumerable purses, indent and modern —an eloquent testimony to successful pocketpicking and cleverness in disposing of recognizable property. Calf-Hare-Pigr-Fox-Dog Cried Like Baby BARIS, Sept. s.—An animal born on a farm at Grandchamps, near Baris several weeks ago, died while being transported to Baris for exhibition at the Academy f Science.
