If I had two solid weeks of this kind of living, I pink I could go without a holiday again until Christmas. But I know my husband better than that.

That's the kind, of a pace we kept, And that Was the year we went to the ball game in Tiger Stadium. It was a double-header and the first game lasted 17 horribly humid" het innings. By the start of the second .contest, darkness had fallen and the air was a little cooler, but. I had spent every ounce of energy I possessed. I begged to go home, and my rather reluctant husband agreed, especially since we needed an early start in the morning. When he started the up-and-at-'em, routine the following A.M., I was still in dreamland, As a dutiful wife though, I climbed out of the sack and into the car for ,the day-long journey to Niagara Falls. Arrival in the Falls sent a 'signal through my husband's energetic brain. Who goes to the Falls without seeing them under the lights? The kids were ecstatic. At 11 o'clock that evening I was draped over the damp stone wall in the front of the falls, too weary to appreciate the view and very grateful my husband held onto my arm to keep me from falling in a limp mass over the boiling brink. The promise that evening had been that I could sleep late in the morning. We hadn't counted on the fact my husband would remember, quite by accident, a relative in a little village nearby. It. just wouldn't be neighborly to pass by so close and not drop in. Bright and early we were on our way to the cousin's home. My husband had been right. Our host was pleased to see us — so • pleased, in fact, he quickly organized a whole day's activity to keep us from getting bored. That. day lasted well into the small hours of the next morning. And so it went, day after tiresome day. By the 'dine we arrived' home 'again- -felt, •like a harp that had come Unarm*: fio The payoff came when I was faced with the mounds of washing while the rest of the .family rested under a shade tree on the lawn! That's why I hate • vacation time. I don't get pearly so tired at work. See you through bleary eyes next week.

SAFETY WITH SOLVENTS Use caution when working with any floor finish which contains solvents, advises the Canadian Paint Manufacturers Association. Rags soaked with solvents or varnish should be burned or put in a bucket of water immediately after you finish with them. Working in a well-ventilated area with windows and doors open will reduce the chance of solvent fumes accumulating and being ignited.
