MRS, G, KE. 8. Dear Mise Grey: 1 would like to say a few words in regard to who should build the fire. 1 agree with “Bacon Fryer,” a man is still in poly woe state If he doesn't get up part of the time at least and start the fire and cook breakfast. I have been married many years) and would give anything if I could look back when the children were amall and think, hubby helped me out in those trying days, but instead hubby would hike off to bed in the farthest room from the babies (num. bering seven) while I would be dis turbed many times during the night to.warm milk or tend to a little ach ing ear or tooth, ‘Then, in the morning, when all were sleeping, off would go that hated alarm clock. I would try to wake up and dress and start the fires and get breakfast, dross and joge firwt inn't always | | feed the chilaren and keep going till bedtime again, Pridence” mys a mah must keep himself fit from day to day—failure to meet his require- ments may result in his losing his job. True enough, Prudence, but !t doemn't, mattermeabout the wife's job: she won't lofe it unless she runs away from jt, and to do that she ts committing a crime, I think that a wife who has no| children should get up and build the fire and get breakfast. The wits! who has children should be left un- disturbed in the morning unless hubby looks after the children dur. ing the night or is not well. My husband is a good provider and lalways provides a good home, but from experience—I think the hus | band should be the fire builder part | of the time at least. AN OUT-OF-DATE FIRE BUILDER. eee | Dear Miss Grey: I have been read: | jing your column on “Who Should Start the Fire?” Now, as 1 am some firestarter, I believe I am entitied to a hearing. Prior to 23 years ago, jwhen I settled in Seattle, I for 10 | years have started fires half way |round the world, from Seattle to | Paria and from Mexico City to Can- ada, Like our pioneer ancestors, I | believe “a man should be a man,” | and not @e abed in the morning in| order that the fair spouse may sot! her hands tn rustling kindling and | start the fire, | How about some of the gallant! husbands who, when they courted the fair maiden and promised to love | and protect her (that means physi-| cally, too), and promised to do all) }kinds of things to make life easy?! | What about it? Well, I'll tell these | gallant fellows that they fell short | lof the standard when they lay in bed | and let their fair helpmate get up and start the fires. | I'm 61 years old—married my wife | 20 years ago, I lighted the fires when | I first married her and am still light ing them, and expect to do It for the Making It Easy to Get the Best “ASK ANY COP”— where they sell the the perfect washing machine Phone Elliott 152 for Demonstration * | remembering | clsors appear. jr that the cant pyou use thet At birth, each tipth les partly imbedded in 9 of in the bone, sdrrounded | and covered dy, the soft tissudthe gum, As baby grows, the tqrow also and, if baby is healthy? are ready to cut thru the gut) the sixth or | weventh month, Following i» thrmal time of} teething: Lowe cutthooth, 6 1.
