busy at tint on one thing and then anouier and kept putting it off thinking i really had plenty of time and yet i knew it should be done in case we had company over the holiday but then as i hadnt heard of anyone com ing i thought i might as well take my time there was no letter from daughter on saturday so i conclud ed she wouldnt be along probably couldnt get the time off so soon after her vacation but i might have known these young things being as unpredictable as they are came sunday afternoon and n tele phone call from daughter if she took the bus monday morning could i meet her at bronte needless to say i could and i did in tad part ner and i both met the bus afer we got home there wns plenty ui talk about so wo talked once in awhile a guilty conscience would whiss r in my ear what nlmut your column and i would answer luirk hush lit me alone dnughter will ho iolnj luirk tonight and then ill get down to work and then to my surprise i found daughter wasnt going hn k at least not until tucmlay night so then my conscience and i just had to get to- iothejr and i agreed tlmt there was only one thing to do and that was fit up and work after the others had gone to tied so here we are and glad i am to feel n cool refreshing breeze blowing through the screen door after the sticky humid weather we have had for tho last fortyeight hours you know sticky weather plus a holiday really does lead to complications in housekeeping for instance if wo dont buy enough bread to last over the holiday we naturally run short and if we buy enough and to spare then it goes mouldy before we can i cat it up you people with your frlglilalres and lceluives you can never realize the difficulties of keening house with out them a day like this and butter turns to oil milk goes sour cookies

these days as one storekeeper said to mo most people do their shopping in the morn ing now yet most of tho town people it doesnt tnke them long to slip up street get what they want and home again but farmers wives cannot leave their work so easily to come down town in tho mornings at least not at a time to suit the storekeepers if we go at a time that suits us the stores are not open the other day one of our neighbors hail licen promised that if she got down town good and early the noxt morn ing she could get hor car greased so she was thoro by seven- thirty the noxt morning nnd had to wait half- anhour for tho garage to open to morrow morning x shall bo taking this down to put it on tho eight oclock train and if i could do n little hhopplng at tho bnmo time it would lie just fine but tho stores wont be open so i must either come home anil make it not her trip later on or hang around for an hour yesterday on our way homo from bronte i thought it might lie a good idea to take an ice cream brick homo for doiihort so i loft tho car at the postoffice and told partner nnd daughter i wouldnt ho a minute i went up street to one drug store nnd then another nnd then to the ice cream parlor no luck they were everyone of them closed coming down street i met a jewish gentleman so i thought i might as well do a little business i suppose i was gone quite a little while ono way nnd nn-
