M. “We have no help and the only part of the housework that is really a hardship is dish washing. I have thought of getting an electric dish washer but have been told that in a family as small as ours there would be no saving of time. What do you think about 1t?” T feel sure that there would be a sav- ing of time, but even if there were not I would still advise your getting one if you can afford it, as washing dishes by electricity is much more interesting work than washing them in the. old- fashioned way. F know a family of five where dish washing used to be a con- stant trial. With the aid of the electric washer dishes are now washed just once a day. The luncheon diches are up and put in the washer, then the dinner es; and after breakfast dishes are ready to h the next morning the daily dish washing begins. Silver and kitchen tins are washed after each meal. By putting the used dishes in the washer and covering it there is no untidy accumulation of dishes and the thrice-a-day dish washing task is avoided. “We are planning a home wedding to take place in Easter week. The cere- mony will take place at church, t the party, which will be about 12 in all, will come home for refreshments after- ward. If the ceremony was arranged for 12 o'clock and the.refreshments wg‘g served about an bour afterward, what would be appropriate?” This is an bequtlon of the mother of a bride- Such s wedding repsst would be spoken of as & we breakfast, but would in fact consist of & daintily pre- luncheon. green peas and new ith parsley, with an ice and cakes and coffee for thé last course.

One pres- ent was for her, anoth:r for her young son and the third for her baby daughter. She acknowledged all the gifts but the one for the baby. Each gift was mailed separately and the packages were not insured. I don't want her to think I forgot the baby, but I hate to prod h:r to find out whether all the packages arrived.

But 0 it was, and Redshoulder had ever to be on watch for these orant killers with their terrible guns. Mrs. Redshoulder had rned not only They had those terrible , but also to avoid sitting on tall jes, for they had seen mm{ of their relatives caught in cruel steel traps placed on the tops of the poles for this purpose. Now sweet, Mistress Spring had to move northward and Redsh jer and Mrs. Redshoulder were possessed of a great longing to return home, to re- turn to the nest in the Green Forest from which they had started so many children out into the Great World with its terrible guns and ignorant ki . Others of their kind were the long trip north and the lers joined them. Each day the longing to get home grew stronger. Two two their comrades left the big flock, each pair headed for their own , until at last Redshoulder and his mate were alone.

For a long time they cirfled high above all this and they were filled with the great joy of home-coming. Then they set their wings to sail down to that part of the Green Forest where their nest was. It was Mrs. Redshoulder who first saw that all was not as it should be. “There is some one in our nest!” she —— meant to the gift but had bren interrupted while she was writing the letter so that her line of thought was broken. I'd write to her saying that you were glad she liked the pres- ents, but that her letter to you makes you fear that she thinks you have shown partiality to the older child.
