delicately browned on the lOp bis bread he could make the best bread 1 And when it buckwheat cakes and chicken mother had nullum your life And I u Iter be had taken a prize for butler making the county fair yes really Smith lay on her bed and stared up at the ceiling If her thoughts turned regretfully back to the liny countryschool house with its salary of a month and no ghastly cook stove looming darkly in the background to mar her peace on a hot summer day who can blame her Of Course it was all fight that John should know how to cook His mother having no girls had always aught her housewifely knowledge while she had gone Constantly to school until her graduation and thence to a coun try school room to leach On her marriage the art of housekeep ing was in he learned and John taught her Whatever her thoughts were a sharp rap at the door brought her to her feet Before she could cry out the door flew open and Hetty Johns cousin from cily breezed In the dumps I do believe cries dis tress Hetty pulling off her wraps Whats he matter now Out with he trouble Mrs Smith smiled though she was still in a nervous tremor really nothing she denied nothing at all Then she burst out Only you see John was bachelor a long while before we were married and his mother had taught him how to cook Some how he seems never to have had any failures I cant manage it A new problem comes up every day 1 am a failure as a house keeper and John reminds me many times a day how he manag ed when he was a bachelor and kept house for himself Now I am ashamed to admit it the words When I was a bachelor in Johns mouth have become an obsession Sometimes I think Ill run away And then Mrs Smith did exactly he thing she did not want to do She burst out crying Failure ejaculated Mistress Hetty scornfully not a bit of it I know about Johns housekeep ing faugh I Lets go into your pantry and get a snack We have come fifty miles in a slow machine and Im hungry as a hear Torn and- 1 have come to make you a days visit and your supper hour on the farm is o clock You see I know was oblivious to Mrs- Smiths tears for which Mrs Smith was thankful They made a pot of fresh coffee and set out a good lunch on the dining table When the three were in the very thick the eating in walked Mr Cousin John cried Mis tress Hetty genially putting out a finger Shake I John knowing bis cousin Bet ty very well shook hands wilh inward foreboding He felt dis trustful of Hetty This reminds mo of the time we down on you in your gays of single blessedness and found you unprepared for visit says the Het ty Only

while the losses the cap tors of the lown are assumed to have suffered In common with the defenders during the past weeka of desperate fighting are expected to necessitate a period of rest loo fool away in such useless work as sweeping and dusting That was just a joke said Smith resentfully You should have sent word that were coming and Id have put the room in apple pie order Huh I exclaimed Speaking of apple pie makes me think of the pie John baked for dinner only it was not an applo pie If was a pumpkin pie and he wastefuily put a top crust on it ami wondered why it didnt look just right for pumpkin And he yelled from the kitchen to me Come here Cousin Hetty and see if you know what ails this darn ed pie Of course I knew some thing was wrong but like John I couldnt tell what way for I never made a pie in my life It was Tom here who solved the mystery Tom looked in the oven and said he wasnt acquainted with any pumpkin pies that wore top coats Hut Cousin John knows a lot of things about housekeeping when he can think of them and what he can think of in an emergency is wonderful One year he vowed hed but ter and compete for a premium at rf M the fair and he did it laughed can bring that UK Hetty mischievously Hetty called Smith glaring at his cousin suppose let be Im ex tinguished entirely put out Hetty tossed her head Oh I am just telling your wife about your butler making scrape no harm in that she turned dirccU ly to Mrs Smith You see it is quite a joke on Cousin John lie tried butter making but it was more like making a greasy paste than anything else Hut lie drove his favorite Jersey over to his mothers place and went over every day to milk the cow His mother made the butler but John got the premium And up to the day you were married his mother made every pound of but ter that he used Thai was scandalous surely Mrs Smith dared not look at her husband Smith glared at Cous in Hetty He seemed amazed dumbfounded Hetty said he fairly choking with rage there is a line young Jersey in my field If youll slop those yarns of oth er days the animal is yours Is this a bona fide offer Hetty asked politely If it is its a bargain And a little later while John was banding Cousin Helty into the limousine she loaned toward him saying I fibbed a little and would have fibbed more had it been necessary A little he exploded Het ty it was awful particularly about the butter You know I made that premium butter you little beast Oh yes yawned Mistress Betty with a wary eye on Johns wife in Iho distance Rul I fib bed in your best interest Cousin John its always best for a wo man to rule in the house and man to rule outside While you live never again allude to the time when you were a bachelor in the presence of your wife That phrase has worn her nerves to a frazzle Just slop all remind ers of any time but the present Whatever you do dont talk housewifely talk John was startled Her mean ing broke upon him suddenly scenes came hack to him Fragmentary words thai had seemed mysterious now took on a meaning Ho understood I have been blind as a bat Cousin Betty said ho thoughtfully bit you have opened my eyes fcan promise you there will he no more trouble
