They had no sofa or love scut They had no bookcases no china cabinet and no storage space for linens Joan heard slow slippeied steps coming up the back stau a fiom the kitchen below She stood still waiting an unhappy piemonuion upon her a soft "Oh! Oh!" escap and their tennis rackets and skis to say nothing of all their heavy winter clothing now draped over the rocker Todd had to fix a long rod in the closet before she could pul away the clothes "But this Joan thought again and stopped there The thing of it was they simply hadn't enough furniture to make this any kind of a place at all OiUy one easy a black the cAy- SO WHO'S THE ONLyONE TO SHOW UP AS AGREED? ASK 0OS5-O HE KNOWS! CHAPTER FIFTEEN Joan groaned softly as she jooked around at her living room Oh It was big enough It was a fine large corner room And the great bay window on the eas could be made into a charming nook some time And the huge closet was certainly a boon for biding all the extras such as suitcases and that trunk and the box containing her wedding dress and her typewriter1 THE DONKEY FAR FROM 60IN6 BACK TO CAMP COMFORT MAS LED THE CHILDREN A MERRY CHASE THROUGH ItlE VlbODS AND SWAMPS E) THIS SMALL CASM IM TUE CLEARING HE HANGS HIS HEAD OVERTHE GATE AND WATCHES WITH INTEREST A SMALL MIDDLEAGED WMAN COMING FROM BIG SISTER keeping foe themselves But the doctor had diaw-n his wife away shortly saying he knew Joan and Todd would prefer to be alone bother you he had said cheerfully just wanted you lo know we were available it you needed us for anything When you get and invite we'll he'had added with a slight emphasis on the wont invite "The doctor in his Mrs Hunter was saying "And I got lonesome I thought with Todd off for the day I'd Just come up and see what you were doing" She lifted an armful of clothes dropped them on the half-open trunk and sank into the empty rocker with a little grunt My ankles Are bad this morning Joame I warn you now get rheumatism" "I hope I don't And I'm terribly sorry it troubles you so much Perhaps you shouldn't have climbed those stairs I was coming down pretty "Oh mercy me I couldn't slay away longer You know what it means to me to have you here in the house with me To know somebody to visit with The doctor keeps in his study hours on end And 1 never dare interrupt him Cither seeing people or preparing his sermons or reading Her voice trailed away After a moment she went on "Of course I have a lot lo keep me busy church committees and circle meetings and things like that Bur they mostly fill the afternoons in the mornings that the house is so still and Joan nodded "Well" she said after a moment rest now while I whisk my breakfast dishes out of the "No wait I have a scheme Tell me what you think of it Mrs Hunter's eyes blue gray like Todd's weie fixed on face in confident anticipation "I've been thinking" she went on the sense of you doing your housework up here all alone and me doing mine downstairs all alone? I thought it would be nice if I came up and helped you with yours then you could come down and help me with mine Then we'd get ready and go shopping together And on cleaning days and the days we wash and well same thing Many hands make light work you know And a pleased little laugh nppled from her as it it were all settled Quickly Joan turned with the handful of plates she held and quickly moved toward the little kitchen quite an she tossed back over her shoulder But unseen by her mother-in-law she plunked the plates down fiercely in the sink while an overwhelming protest gathered swiftly in her heart she thought "No No! No! I won't have her barging in here like that! Owning every moment of my time' Planning it! Planning all my work for me as if 1 couldn't plan it myself! Arranging my days as though I had no ideas no wishes of my own Her pattern of living Not mine! And all just because she can't bear to be alone in the morning This was what was afraid of oh She stood quite still a little startled by the strength of her own resentment and forcing herself back to a measure of composure Presently she was calm enough to return to the living room hkrMpVl'Wellt MORNING QUAGMIRE! WHAT IS THlS'ASYRlP'J TEASE ACT? Household Hint Be Imaginative! Flowers look charming in Interesting containers If you look around your home you will probably find many old vases copper kettles bottles and other oddments which might be used In decoration Beware of too many of these! The idee la to build a charming nook around such a novel piece not to achieve a clutter of jugs ni glassware all over the house A few flowers or a vine spilling out of that old copy of an Etruscan water carrier may add distinction to a room IR NOAH- IF YtXJ SLEPT UNDER A fMPHR SHEET WOULD IT BE EASIER TO TEAR YOURSELF OUT OF BED WRS IMA STEELS PWUKERTPM BA LEAR NOAH IS A Lovelorn bachelor A SUV WHO MADE THE WRONG TURN IN LOVERS etcMoay i-tMA QtffO se lew Memo to 7 iilnbnil by jpeg QyGiHf lfl Wife It a i seed idea with matt children about the houae to cover the painted ran as of chans with transparent tape to protect them from staffing fL by Jimmy Hetla WELL- I DONY THINK HELL LIKE IT BUT I GAME TLL 50 ALONG IF THE REST OF YOU PO- UTTLE LOWBROW' WHERE DOES HE THINK HE IS-TN BEACH? i-Eri ni BS8jspl DAILY PATTERN 4824 244 Pattern 4824: Half Sizes 141 161 181 201 22 Vi 24'i Sue 161 takes 444 yards 35-inch Send THIRTY-EIGHT CENTS (38c) In coins for this Anne Adams add 5 cents for mailing Send your order to The Holland Evening Sentinel Pattern Department 64-66 8th St Holland Mich Odd Fact When a garage owner In Olivette Mo was not re-elected to the town's board of trustee's ha raised the rent for the town's fire truck from $80 to $250 QCUBGJ-t30QEa fciauBu -tJLinuu I £1 LiF) -r QBtlCilU uuQunaa bqq 2LU1UMFJ enrau ESQHEH ararar-jp unraan uauaara-'CiLiuy mraranma- rara aauQHPEg uEsinay uanciararaedia arnaury -Etauaci 19 title 21 Formerly (archa ic) 22 Scrubs 23 Baby frog 24 Free 27 Oar- like (chiefly poeL) 20 A ridiculous ham $1 Drives 32 Final Twlnii imm 34 Destiny 87 A spring month S3 Fruiting pike of grain 40 Music note NCUKNOW THAT COUSIN tyuON MUCH CAN MARTIN HAS ALYFMSRfUD US BUT THAT 6 NO CALL FOP YOU TO CHARGE HIM MORE TUAN YOU MOULD A STRANGER' THEY AFFORD59 THAT COTTAGE IS IN TIPTOP ALLRHHTi ILL LET HIM HAE IT FOR $31000 AND NOT A PENNY LESS!

What could she do? Everything she thought of would only deal a hurt so best not to answer at all Best to change the subject until a later date when she might more easily establish her independence Thinking these things she said only "I hope will alwajs make you happv Mother tTo Be Continued) mraiEZJ Knarf stood by the window listening to the voices course be lots of things" "Such as?" said Knarf "Such as for Instance" ssld General Tin "If Katy had a doll and the doll got broken folks would wonder who broke the dolL Half of them would say Katy did the other half would lay Katy "Do bugs play with dolls?" Knarf wanted to know General Tin laughed again: "Maybe they do and maybe they he answered "And maybe" he went on "Katy just one bug at ML Maybe she's dozens and dozens of different bugs And maybe those voices that we heax in the garden really that Katy did or didn't do something Maybe they're Just singing We think they're saying Katy did Katy did Katy didn't when all the time they aren't saying anything like that at all Just making sounds" An Unsolved Puzzle General Tin have anything more to say on the subject So Knarf turned back and listened at the open window again Perhaps the General was right perhaps the voices In the garden were Just singing But they certainly seemed to be saying: "Katy did Kaly didn't Katy Katy Over and over and over again And neither the voices nor Katy ever bothered to explain what It was that she did or didn't do Minn lnSA DAILY CROSSWORD Mill H-f if 11(1 nxminhAuaiArvi ci I GRANDMA by Charisa Kuha SCOTTS SCRAP BOOK JsCgej 10 NAMIP BlMuSl sf Hi KU4L WIHUKI UfOVl FIM IVE TO $4000 AT BROKEN-DOWN CDrCSGE' ARE YOU an OF YOUR MIND?
