THE EVENING THLEGKAN, LAREEEND, FLA, OCT. 3, 1932. HOUSEKEEPER'S VACATION When the hot-peninh!!eame. John insisted that I go to the shore not be- market, my brain refused to take in the relative merits of potatoes and | beans, peas and spinach. I shut my evg-noked my finger at a vegetable, | tand took dt- ' It saved planning. Befere I left I had a heart-to-heart | talg with Malissy." I told her I was Boing away and I wanted her to take | good care of Mr. Green iIn my ab- sence. She was to see that his mel- ons were ripe, that his coffes cooked fifteen minutes, that his toast was properly browied, that.his matiress was turned every day, and pay heed to various other minute directions, 48 a loving wife' naturally thinks | t in connection with her husband's | comfort. Malissy listened respectful- and gave me glib assurances that d Jaolk after Mr. Green, “same ! pekh‘ ovah huh shoul I pretended to belleve her and wted lmlubly. though I felt a king. . John put me on the train one siz- :flns afternoon. 1t my ticket hadn't @ for, I should have turned felt so guilty leaving John in ch. | {Buch ‘heat with only an irresponsible | nmn to look after him. ' The shore was delightfully cool and | the “inn” had an excellent table. - For nine days I enjoyed the luxury of loafing. I got sun-burned and fat, ‘and, on the tenth day, panicky. 1 could feel in John's letters something wrong, though they were pointedly cheerful. Without letting him into the secret, 1 packed my tmk and 1 let myself into a deserted apart- ‘tnent.. 'The rooms had a peculiar, gray look. When I went over to my dressing table, I saw that the dust ‘{on it was thick enough to hide the - | color of the furniture. John's bed had the spread carefully drawn up over| I two very soiled and wrinkled sheets. ake*her«lmchi TWor sier-QuicKerBefler It won’t cost you much, and ink how much happler your ife will be, ¥ Come here and’ let us talk this matter over., us show you the little inexpensive kitchen|™i= plements that will make an easier day’s work your wife==food choppdrs, handsome, dur- kitthen ware of all Kkinds, keen edged F°TY, toasters, percolstors, etc. FO R S A L Timber, 'l‘urpentine, Cut-over - Lands, Choice Colinization noflmg Lan: Prices, Florida Homes and Groves on High ity Situated on Beautiful Lakes, Paying Straw- e rep Trucking Farms, Weguarantee all property just “sented by us, For relisble information see Mlinger (AN & Alficld | Malissy was nowhere aronnd. Judg# ing from the condition of the apart ment, she hadnt been anywhere around since I left. I found myself without a maid, and in a dishearteningly dirty heme. The kitchen was full of dirty dishes, I surmised that John had been getting his own breakfast and using clean dishes as long as the supply lasted. Congratulating myself upon | the muscle and enrgy that ten days of ten- nis and loafing had equipped me with, 1 called in the janitor, and together we scrubbed and dusted and swept the apartment into a semblance of cleanli- ness. Ahead of me, however, still stretchied several days of hard lLiouse- cléaning and the task of breaking in a new maid. When John came home at nine o'clock: that night I was in bed, so mwxeonldonly chirp a feeble “B:n l lood time, honey?” -1 murmured. “Xflm,ltml to take a vaca: 1 wndnl, Banking as a Grocer’s Adjunct.

' “Is that the way you do business down here?” he asked. “Have to,” said the neighborhood tradesman. “Can’t get along any oth- or way. You have to know the people you can safely extend crédit to, but the judgment and the will to carry on & Himited banking business without in- terest is the basis of every grocer's sucoess in this part of town.” The grocer abandoned the new en- 13 Character Told by Clothes, '’ Mr. Gutzon Borglum, the seulptor, pays in a newspaper article: “When { get an order for & statue of a dead - man, I ask his people for a suit of his clothes—not a new guft, but an old one; the oldest suit that may be found.
