Makes 20 About the House - l ,‘u‘h Ha Secret of Happiness “On the morning of my wedding day," writs a woman who is now old halelf, “my grandfather called me 90 his Ida and gave me a bit of ad- vice M I have tried hard to follow. “He Iaid, ‘Avoid getting into a rut. The in nothing that will rob a wo- man of her good looks or her joy in life like getting into a routine that nukes l:::- a slave. Don’t you do it, child. l' ~n't. you do it!" “I < tald just remember grand:- mother but I had heard from many sources Lhat she was a slave to wash- ing on Monday, ironing on Tuesday, and so on, through all the yea-rs of her life, and I know poor grand- father knew just what life with such a victim of routine meant. “Very soon I had the chance to heed the dear old man’s advice, for Bob and I had been married: only six weeks when he came in to breakfast one Tuesday morning very early, looking as eager and happy as a boy. ‘I say, Jessie,’ he began, ‘I have half a dozen errands to do in the city. Put off the ironing until to-morrow, can't you? Put on your bonnet and come along with me. We’ll make a day of it. Come on, won‘t you?’ “I glanced at thebasket of clothes waiting for me, 'and the new houseâ€" wile's pride bade me stay and get that work out of the way before midday. But the-re was another side to the question. I- glanced at Bob’s hopeful m, and then grandfather's words flashed into my mind. “ ‘I’ll go,’ I said, and go I did. “I think neither of us will ever forget that day. We joked like chil- dren on a holiday. We finished the shopping and went into one of the ex- hibitions and got home late that night; and when it was all over I knew my belated ironing was a petty matter compared with the sympathy and companionship that We had known that day. “That was the beginning. As the years went by, and cares increased, I Rosy Checks and Sparkling Eyes / -â€"â€"â€"d studied hard and long to avoid the‘ rutsâ€"â€"the pitfalls of so many farmers}; wives.

It; was a treat on a wintry night when the snow fell quietly all round the houseâ€"a treat that our children will never forgetâ€"to have supper in the warm, cosy kitchen,l whereas the usual supper in the din- ing room would have made no im- pression at all. “Sometimes in early June, whenl Bob had spent a hard day in the fields, his tired face would brighten at the sight of a substantial tea spread on the table under the oak tree that was our pride. It was a little more work for me, but the children learned very early in life to save me steps, and I was amply rewarded for any effort I had evecr made when I heard my son say to a boy chum, ‘It’s always fun at our house/ You never know when mother is planning a surprise! ” l l The “Costume Girl." A girl who likes to sew has found a way to gratify her taste for it and to earn a considerable amount of pin money. 'She , makes costumes for school, church and college plays. Many mothers and boy students have work for her to do, and in the six or seven months of active dramatic work in her community she makes from two hundred to three hundred dollars. Her patrons furnish patterns’ and materials; therefore, since she has the use of her mother’s sewing machine, her earnings are virtually all profit. V ‘ Crepe-paper costumes for fairies or flower girls are the easiest kind for the “costume gii ” to make; she sells them for two dollars an outfit. Sim-pie dimities, clown costumes and bloomer costumes bring her from four to five dollars apiece. Costumes made from complicated patterns sell for five to eight dollarsâ€"a price that many wo- «\_ ‘;AND THE woesris YET -TO mnsz I u l ’ i men are willing to pay rather than try to make something that may turn out to be a failure. In one month this girl made and sold the following costumes: Eighteen crepe-pauper fairy costume; for two dollars apiece; one jester outfit for five dollars; three dimity schoolgirl cos- tumes, with dimity hats to match, for five dollars an outfit; a gypsy costume of gay sateen for five dollars, and a clown costume for three dollars. That makes a total income of sixty- fouir dollars. In the rush season she seldom averages less than that. In slack times she clears from thirty dollars to thirtyâ€"five dollars a month. Already she has saved something for the course in dramatic costuming that she wishes to take eventually; and since she never sews for more than five hours a (lay, the work does not tire 'her or keep her from other duties and pleasures.
