with the fur nace we sweltered both sum mar and winter it was impossible because of its location to keep the room cool enough for leaping and yet have the rest of the house comfortably warm knowing this prompted daughter to suggest one time when she was home that we use the big south room as a bedroom the idea had been at the hack of my mind for some time but i had lacked courage to mention it to ask a man to move from one room to another is like trying to tear an oak tree up by its roots but i finally got around to it and you know the result the south room is twenty by twenty and in fm to bedroonn f unlture it also contains an old square piano a large table my sewing ma chine and in one corner a large stack of folding chairs which belong to the womens institute and are left with us for storage then there was our erstwhile bed room to deal with what do you think you will do with their roomt asked partner the answer to that was more fur niture to move the room is long and narrow one end accommodatas my typewriter table a few shelves two chairs and the furnace smoke pipe the other end holds a comfortable old studio couch a small table and a wicker chair there is linoleum on the floor the room is always warm and since there is nothing to spall partner knows he can sit in it at any time even in his overalls and that is how x want it x hope i never tutve a home mo impeccable that the only place a man feels com fortable is in the kitchen as to that there is not much need for alarm x am very far from v being the worlds best housekeeper what a queer thing habit is to day as i washed the dinner dishes i wondered why mo many women con hardly sit at nil after dinner they never seem satisfied until those dishes ure wnhed and out of the way where x like to relax for a while thinking it over i traced my disin clination back to an english custom at lunch or midday dinner we did not have tea served at tlie table as we do in canada it was served in the drawing room or sitting room immediately after dinner x imagine that was done bo that the servanb in the days when there were servants could get their own meal and also clear the dinlngtable yes it is a far cry from thowj days of thirty years ago but habit dies hard or am i becking an alibi for dish washing procrastination it could be well well i was almost forgetting to mention the fact that the thresn- ing machine is sitting in our barn again it enmo in about twothirty yesterday afternoon partner told me before they came that as the after noons were so short now it would hardly be worthwhile starting up so 1 went on washing the kitchen floor without paying much attention to the threshing machine but when i did take a look to see what was going on the belt was on the machine and threshing was in full swing how ever it wai only a clover threshing so that meant only two extra men for supper they stopped at iv o clock so we shall have them for an hour or two in the morning and that will be the wlndup
