Could Not Find the Place.

Mrs. Barrington, a methodical northern Michigan housekeeper whose routine was the same year in and year out, developed a cough one fall and was sent to Arizona for the winter, but she did not leave her household cares behind her. From time to time she wrote to various members of her family, telling them what to do on certain dates and admonishing them in this wise: “Remember, Mary, to clean the linen closet the first week in January.” “Do not forget, Charles, to sprout the potatoes in the cellar the second week in February.” The winter brought with it an unprecedented amount of snow, but in spite of family letters Mrs. Barrington in Arizona was unable to realize the state of the weather at home. Toward the end of February the conscientious housekeeper wrote to her gardener, instructing him to be sure to plant the sweet peas along the back fence on the usual date, the first day of April.

John, the gardener, bought the sweet peas, but was unable to carry out the rest of Mrs. Barrington’s instructions for a reason which he explained in the following letter to his mistress:' “Respected Madam: I have bought the peas, but I cannot plant them. There is so much snow that I cannot find the fence."
