The day retains and brings us the
petty round of irritatling concerns
and duties," Help us to, play the man,
help us to perform them with laugh-
ter and Kind faces; let cheerfulness'
abound with industry. Give us to go
blithely on our business all this day,
bring us to. our resting beds weary
and content and pndishonoured, and
grant us in the end the gift of sleep.
-Robert Louis Stevenson.
It has often perplexed me that
housekeepers react so little to the
lure of their woria, thework of mak-
ing and keeping the home the sort
of a place hone should be. . "Lure,"
some weary housewife exclaims,
-"what lure is to be found in cooking
meals, making bed9, washing dishes?
It is drudgery in the extreme." But
is it? Now I know all about what
it means to cook meals, wash dishes
and make beds. I was brought up
in the good old-fashioned way and
learned all about housekeeping from
my earliest years. I know just how
monotonous it can become and how
tired of it a housekeeper can be. But any woman feels much more self -
there is no more need for a house- respecting when neatly garbed in a
keeper feeling her lot hard than for
any other worker.
little conventions are observed as a
matter of course, are happier tha i
those who livr ;in a lxaphazzard sort
of way. They are also, when the
tine' comes, much better fitted to go
out into life.
But ;I believe that the reason why
so many women despise housework.
is just because they do not dignify it
sufficiently.. They de not place up-
on it the high value it should have.
Wchat" could be more important than
keeping the `home, where husband
and children and sheltered,, fed and
cared for? A woman writer recent-
ly''had the following to say about
this very thing' and it so -'aptly ex-
presses what 2 mean .that I'm going
to quote:
"And it is because Women have no
pride in their .work that they have
no joy in it and why they -complain
of the monotony -of housework. All
work is monotonous. You go through
the sane motions every time you
sell a bill of goods or type a letter
or build a locomotive and you cars
put just as Mauch variety into mak-
ing soup and experimenting with
new effects in sauces as you can
in painting "a picture or pulling off
a big business deal.".
The ;• housewife should not only
magify her own office but she
should insist upon her family treat-
ing it with respect.
Another reason why many women
hate housework is because they al-
ways wear their old, worn out and
shabby clothes when engaged in it.
When a woman has a job in an of-
fice, school or factory she usually
dresses neatly and carefully before
going out to that work. Too often
the housewife rolls up her hair in
any old way and grabs any old sort
of dress to go down in the morning
to prepare breakfast for her hus-
band and family.. But that is not
necessary. It takes very few min-
utes longer to dress properly and to
do one's hair becomingly, even you
do don a dust cap later to do the
morning work. - The wearing of
neat, washable dresses at work may
add a little to the labour in the laun-
dry but it is labour well spent, for
Housekeeping is ten times more
varied than dozens of " other jobs
which women take up. It •isn't to
be compared for monotony with fac-
tory work, where a girl spends her
days doing the same thing over and
over again, day after day, week af-
ter week. It is at least no more
monotonous than teachings, where the
same lessons are gone over day after
day, and week after week, with little
variation and frequent reviews. It
should not be any more monotonous
than standing behind the sane coun-
ter six days in the week, trying to
suit the whims of custoiners who are
none too easy to please.
Three meals have to be prepared
each day, of course, and clearing up
done afterwards. But the wise house-
keeper, for her own sake and the
sake of her family need not prepare
the same sort of meals every day.
She will vary them as much as she
can; she will have little surprises for
her family; she will serve her meals
attractively , and will encourage her
family to coin to the table with.
clean hands and faces and neat at-
tire; she ' will encourage bright,
cheerful conversation at table, so
that the family will look forward to
meal time with antieipation, not only
of the satisfaction. of physical hun-
gar, but also of intellectual and spir-
itual nourishment.
Then the bugbear of dishwashing!
"The enjoyment of a good meal is
often spoiled for me," a very bright,
intelligent girl once confessed to me,
"by the thought of all the dishes
which will have to be washed up af-
terwards." That never bothered me
particularly. Given plenty of hot
water, some mild soap and plenty of
clean some
the task of washing even
a big batch of dishes is not sucha
colossal job. But some object that
it is hard on the hands. Well, per-
haps it is a bit. But if you are care-
ful to use clean water, not allowing
it 'to get too greasy, ,and use a mild,
not a coarse soap, and if you are
careful to wash your hands &ter -
wards in soft warm water if possible,
rinsing them off with cold water
and, if they are very sensitive, rub-
Bing„ in a little vanishing cream,
dish -washing may not be nearly so
hard on the : hands as many other
things. Black -leading a stow or
scrubbing was always much harder
on mine. But do people black lead
stoves or scrub nowadays? Probably
not, . Many people use rubber gloves
for rough work. I never had 'but
one pair in my life .and never made
much use of them.
Making beds may be monotonous
work but if the members of the fam-
ily are taught to keep their belong-
ings in reasonable order, to hang
things "tip and put away in drawers
things which should be put away, the
daily making of beds and tidying up
of the rooms need not he such a
task, 'Order means a lot to a home.
There is nothing so nerve -wrecking
to the sensitive woman as disorder.
A. system of housekeeping, having a
place for everything .and reasonable
insistence on everything being .kept
in its place, is a great help in the
home . where one pair of hands has
most of the work to do. Children
can as easily ke taught to be neat
and orderly as not, if . taken in time
and, this is a truth which many have
not yet learned, the child wlio is
taught to wait on itself, 'who is
brought tip ,in a hosne. where order
and obedience ?to certain rules aro
insisted, upon,.: where meals are serv-
ed in an orderly manner and certain
clean dress and apron than when
wearing some old, shabby, not too
clean, dress. It is questionable econ-
omy to wear out one's afternoon
dresses in the kitchen, unless they
are very plain ones and may be
washed. Usually a dress too far
gone for mother to wear may be
made over for the small daughter,
or into a slip, or given to someone
who can still get some wear out of
it. A fussy afternoon dress is out
of place in a kitchen. Only plain,
washable dresses aro suitable there.
The plain house dresses now in
vogue are a boon to housekeepers,
who can don them and look as smart
as any office girl, and they are so
easy to get into that it is no trouble
at all to- change.
It is a matter of just thinking so,
this matter of keeping oneself neat

and tidy about the kitchen. " A wo-
man once said to me, "I never yet
appeared ' at the breakfast table
without being fully dressed frhm
top to toe, with my,hair done and my
collar fastened. If'`I had to have
breakfast early I rose that much
earlier. I• should be ashamed to have

past the fourscore mark, as neat and

GORRIE: The monthly meeting
of the Gorrie Women's Institute was
held on Wednesday at the home of
Mh+s Frank Cole and was well at-
tended. After the business was com-
pleted it was voted that the institute
put on a cooking course, to be held in
the township hall some time in Oc-
tober. A committee' was appointed
to get the community to help shake
it a success' Anyone wishing' to
Lunches and what to prepare for
them is a problen2 in many homes
now that schools have started, but
there are such attractive lunch -box
accessories -available that if orie has
some of them it is real fun to do the
packing. Thermos bottles, waxed
paper, paper napkins, doilies and
small waterproof paper boxes with
tight -fitting covers are some of the
desirable things. Soug, cocoa or a
vegetable for the hot dish can be
carried in the thermos. Sandwiches
taste much better if made from
bread cut not too -thick, and wrap-
ped separately. Salads keep 'beau-
tifully in paper cups or boxes.
Sandwiches, cookies and fruit are
the standbys for lunches which are
carried. Try to vary the kinos of
sandwiches. For appetizing fillings
use any of the following combina-
tions: .
Dried beef and cheese (put through
food chopper) mixed with tomato.
Hard-boiled eggs, celery and may-
onnaise.
Grated carrot with honey,
Chopped pickle with mayonnaise.
Chopped peanuts with mayonnaise.
Creamed butter with horse -radish.
For sweet fillings:
Chopped dates and nuts.
Honey and nuts.
Melted sweet chocolate and nuts.
Brown sugar and butter,.
Sugar, butter and cinnamon.
Chopped prunes, dates and' orange
juice.
