By KATHLEEN NORRIS 'OUVE been harping for months on the wartime duty of wives to keep the home front happy, writes Daisy Chalmers, a spirited young matron of Springfield, Mass, why dont you sometimes blow up the men for the ridiculous demands they are making on us, their insistence that everything shall be exactly as it always was, war or no war, and their calm expectation that a house without servants will run just as smoothly as a house with a good cook and a nurse in it! stiff-neck- ed I have three adorable, noisy, little boys, the letter goes on. Dick wanted boys and boys only, and fortunately I was able to oblige. They are healthy, I am healthy, I am a good cook, with, I think, a fairly even and amiable disposition. Until lust before Paul, the youngest, was born, I had a domestic helper of sorts. She was old, slow, stubborn, but she was absolutely faithful, scrupulously clean, and she loved the babies for their very naughtiness. We paid Josie $15 a week. Dirks Income Is $3,000 a year doesnt it sound big? But it Isnt as big as it once was. And whatever Its worth now, It wont pay for a maid. Cramped la Apartment. "We live in a six room apartment, up two Sights of stairs. Of course, the children cant go out without me, and when they do all four of us, including Paul, now a year old, have to be dressed for the street, the coach has to be bumped out from the locker under the stairs, pillow and covers dumped into it, and Paul established In state. Crossing a street with a baby buggy and boys of two and four is no fun; getting the groceries home is no fun either. We have no dumbwaiter, but the delivery boy pants up our stairs twice a week; everything else I carry myself, sometimes including Jack, or even my eldest, Marty. "Now, I love all this; Im equal to it; Ill get through. But what upsets me is my husband's mild, sweet, incessant hinting and criticizing of everything I do. Our part of town is dirty and dusty, grit comes in and Dirk runs his fingers over polished surfaces and shows me the grit. "All this distresses Dirk terribly. Would you mind touching up your hair before we sit down, dear? he says. 'May I have a spoon that isnt quite so sticky? He asks if the boys have been out in the glorious fresh air; scowls when I say only for an hours marketing. They ought to have more of an airing than that. 'But Ive been washing today, Dirk,' I say. 'Ive got almost a hundred pieces out on the line. Lets have no excuses, Daisy,' he says gently. Tin not criticizing, Im only disappointed. When I had influenza he took care of us ail for three days, then he got a nurse in at eight dollars a day, the letter goes on. "He was furious; the house was never clean QUIT NAGGING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK 149 New Montgomery St. San Francisco, Calif. Enclose 15 cents (plus one cent to cover cost of mailing) for Pattern SEWING With laundry and delivery, and practically every other sort of service curtailed, with domestic help almost impossible to get, a mother of three little boys is bound to be very busy. She is willing to do everything she can, but necessarily she must neglect her housekeeping a bit. Everything would go along all right, except that her husband is one of those neat, efficient souls who want cleanliness and order, no matter what the situation is, lie will rub his finger over the piano, and hold it up to show the dust, or he will hint that the drapes need washing. While he is polite and even sweet, he is constantly nagging.- These people are well off. They have an income of $6,000 a year, and live in a apartment, and are accustomed to a rather high standard of living.

Eat what you need before you rise from the table; and not be picking and eating afterwards. Never pocket victuals at the table, it denotes a thievish disposition. When you have done eating, clean your plate, knife and fork, lay the bones you have picked in a snug heap by the side of your plate, scrape up your crumbs, and cross your knife and fork on your plate. Speak not at table. Laugh not at table; it shows unthankfulness.
