The New Slogan. O the Naylor family that Monday morning did not seem different from other Monday mornings. It was certainly a jangling, hurly-burlyish morning, but not unlike others the Naylors had known. No one in the family felt that it was momentous. Certainly not Corinne Naylor, the mother of the four. Why should she? How could she? She had be fe to be A thinking ‘There was_arithmetic all about her arithmetic” until 8 o'clock Monday morning. _Shoe- to be hunted up for Robert, | it - ence’s high wall. at assembly.

Mother ran to Jerry's drawer, snatched an ink-stained square, found the pongee Therese must have, ran again to the porch. , scolding, laughing, they descended the steps. Was it over? Oh, no. “Mother!” came back a calling voice, 's, “Please have my scout by 4!” “And don't f t to water the chick- ens. I 1 1” howled back Robert. Corinne Naylor walked up the steps. s But the po hs{::“u down and crying. Bul porc] Xes caught her eye. Water. And those chickens. Water for them.. The porch needed a broom. And the house! On Monday 1 It wasn't “interest- be | bore, anyway. . [ily's turn to be could she? But she had promised. ‘With -stricken energy she at- tacked the house. By noon, to her amazement, she looked about and found it all “straight.” Now for a dress. But how could Herbert Naylor, with a boll- weevil in the cotton everywhere, afford a new dress? So, all afternoon she shopped, trying to buy a dress for no money. At last she found a plece of soft, lustrous, silvery white. That might do. It would have to do. She took it home. How sad-faced the four, to be sure! “Mother!” Therese met her at the door, blue eyes accusing. “I had to iron my scout dress myself! I have to have it for the court of awards cere- mg}'\y tonight. How strange you forgot “Mother! Mother!” This was Flor- “I didn’t find you at home and I couldn't get my roller skates on—" “Mother! . You didn’t water the chickens. They had to do with yester- day’s left over water—"” Robert eyed her sternly. “‘Moth Can we have dinner spang on time? Miss Steiner wants me" to come to her house to do some duets with Bob Temple.” Corinne guilty and confused began to hurry atending to them all. As she worked she saw the dress she had to make in three days and still keep every- thing else going. And despair filled her. But the dress was achieved. The day came. The night came. The sur- prise concert was upon her, To get the four and their father ready was some job. Therese was to usher. Her pink crepe needed atten- tion. Corinne gave it what it needed, helped Therese into it, patted, ad- mired, comforted and started her off. Therese sald it was most important that she should look well. . Corinne anxiously agreed. Robert and Jerry Yidn’t see any sense in dolling all up Jjust wé: to a concert. So she had fun, Corinne Naylor, persuading them to wash behind their ears and black their shoes. The father of the four asked if she wasn’t unusually particu- lar. And then he had to have the col- lar of his shirt pressed because that laundry was confoundedly careless. And then Corinne Naylar had a fright, a giant fright. She said her dress was silly. She said she had no breath. She sald she was tired, tired, tired. She could never do it. But— you promised, said something. She put on the , went down to Herbert Naylor waiting over the newspaper. Herbert said there was no hurry, that the concert would probably be a great Why did she take all the family like this? In the foyer of the junior high school building Co- rinne raised her small white face to D e to the presid & ve lent, Mrs. Nesbit,” she said and fled. Well, the surprise concert was a success. It was a success as a con- cert, & success as a s . Several of the men had had to be coerced into coming. But they had not to be coerced into applauding—especially their own particular surprisers. Last of all came the Naylor fam- surprised. For again and again, after her group of songs, Corinne Naylor had to be called back. She herself was probably the .most el THE EVENING surprised one in that auditoffum. Be- cause she had not lost everything while she was taking care of four babies, their father, and a house. Her voice was better, fuller, deeper, she knew about the meaning of Schubert, for instance, she had not known when she was 17. ‘When she awoke somewhat from a dream of smilling faces, clapping hands and voices saying, “Perfectly beautiful!” and “One would pay a price to hear such in New York!” she found herself in a familiar and yet unfa- miliar surroundings. She saw the pictures, the chair, the fireplace in her own living room. Or did she? And was that Therese laying her mother’s coat with a strange new reverence down on _the table? But, yes, that was Florence's voice, surely, trill- ing in her father’s ear. “Mother was the prettiest, littlest one. I knew her right away.” “Yep,” quoth Robert with & big- brotherly leer at his father, “your was _the best looker, all right.” “But, now,” ‘Therese coming in with a glass of water which she offered her mother on her throne, the best blue chair, “we've got to plan how mother can take that church position l':hthe city Hugo Wahlbaum offered er.” “No,” began Corinne feeling foolish. Robert was guilty of interrupting his mother. “Oh, it can be managed,” he said in an unfamiliar deep voice. “You can go in on the interurban every re- hersal night and on Sundays we’ll all go in the car and take some fixin's to eat—" “Every Saturday I'll make a cake,” Therese cried. “And we'll put our own buttons in our shirts and we’ll pick up and hang things up, won't we, infants?” Her- bert Naylor, looking with vast pride upon his household, offered. “But hadn’t you better skedaddle off to bed everybody, so we can begin our new Jjob_tomorrow?” Therese, leading the way with a motherly arm around Florence, at the door called back: “Let’'s have a family motto, a slo- gan, you know, ‘Pick up, hang up, wait on yourself. “All-11 right, fellows! Let’s have it!” roared Robert, seventh grade cheer leader. “One, two, three, go!” On a shout it came, that new slogan for the Naylor family! l‘;l"ick up, hang up, wait on your- self!” And they put themselves to bed. And they hunh\_x& their clothes. END.
