We feel it because we are so active. No time for lolling beside babbling brooks, or on ocean beaches, where the breezes blow and we can enjoy the feeling of having nothing to do. No time to sit on the porch and rock with some iced drinks beside us. No time to open the windows, turn on the electric fan and lie on the bed and just go to sleep if we wish.

Not much time even for an occasional picnic, where a man can take off his coat and unbutton his collar so now he most sensibly unbuttons it on the street. The one sure thing about this hot weather is tjiat we know we have to take it. We cant stop because it is hot. We must be up and doing. Health experts give us some good advice.

They say we should dress light but. Doc, how can we girls dress any lighter than we do already? Really now! We go bareheaded and without our hose, and leave off everything we can and still we are hot. One can manage, though, to get through the day without a collapse by using ordinary good sense. The idea is not to get into what Grandma Brown used to call a "stew." Dearie, she would say to me, don't get excited about nothing. Dont talk so fast and do everything in a hurry, and above everything, dont lose your temper.

It gets you nowhere and it is very heating in hot weather." It does seem plain that if one goes deliberately through what has to be done, it does in time get done with a negligible loss of time.

I know, but for centuries women have done the serving of their menfolks and I fear they cant make a radical change when the men are tired and out of sorts to start with. Try ironing fewer towels and such articles as dont require ironing, really. Some women, especially busy country women, put sheets fresh from a days sunning, drying and sunning out of doors onto beds. These sheets are not ironed. The folks who sleep on them are too tired to care.

We all can simplify our housekeeping, paying attention only to the things which affect the spirit and keep up morale. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE Given your own choice this Summer, I fancy that most of you would get into your car and ride to a Summer camp where you could forget the hard, cold Winter we have lived through. But we have no choice. We are in the war and home is where we shall have to stay until the peace is declared. We may think we have earned a vacation, but what about our fighting boys.

Dont you suppose they feel they have earned a vacation, 1 too? Do you suppose they like to be marooned in fog, covered with desert sands, sailing in wartime convoys always in the line of dan-ger? No, theyre stuck, too, for the duration. Their idea of life is not what has been handed to them any more than our handout is our idea of the way of life. So, lets be sports about the whole thing. At least, if we can't spend money money on vacations we have more to put into War Bonds. I have been thinking about vacations at home.

I have a few ideas. They are not new or startling or different. But it may help to discover that we all are having to do about the same things. Home has many comforts. Let's use them.

We can serve more tray meals.

That is, put the food on the kitchen table. Let each member of the family get his tray and silver and load his own tray. Let him carry the tray to the porch or even to the dining room. This method saves table linen and steps for you. But it cant be worked where there are small children who might drop their trays.

It wont work when you hve a grumpy, tired and hot husband to feed. We would like to save you work, true enough. But he is dead tired when he gets home and wants some service.
