Down the hatch these went, and with a bale- ful glance at each other, and a screech for good measure, the gulls took oll' into the air- COUSIN JANE'S Our family will never forget spring clean- ing last year. Cousin 'lane had come to spend the week. She is one of those people who know all about everything, especially what- ever happens to be going on at the time. About seven in the morning we had break- fast. Cousin 'lane had a fabulous new way to fix eggs. she told us. 'Iihey were tough and burnt at the edges but Cousin Alane served them with a There, you see? Now, aren't you glad you let me do them? Cousin -lane is like tl1at. XVe got out mops, pails. brooms, dust cloths. ammonia, steel wool, Babo, silver cleaner- the whole works-with Cousin llane's bulk in the middle of it all. Wle decided to do the kitchen first. The smell of ammonia didn't have any adverse effects on Cousin ylane, or so she said: accordingly she was assigned to clean the sink and stove. Five minutes after she had started. however, with tears stream- ing down her face, she exclaimed that she guessed she must be getting a cold: would we excuse her for a minute? l'Vould we excuse her! XVe propelled her through the door, ut- tering profound regrets. and immediately got to work. Mother did the porcelain, I washed the walls, my father and brother cleaned out the cupboards, and jointly we scrubbed and waxed the floor. All in all, it took us a couple of hours. As we sat over cups of coffee. proud- ly surveying the results of our toil. Cousin 'lane came downstairs again. Uh. dear. she said. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting all this time when there's so much to be done. This kitchen really needs . . A Cousin lane! I interrupted sharply. I think we've done a beautiful job in here. don't you? See the pretty shelving paper? Mother chose it last week. Oh-oh. you mean-oh! XVell. I suppose the sitting room comes next, eh? XVe were thinking of doing the dining- room, dear, replied Mother.

H Living near the water as I do, I often come in contact with seagulls. Their almost-human behavior, I find, makes gull-watching an en- grossing pastime. Ili-il.

And l'Il wash the curtains. finished Mother with a smile. Cousin jane stood helpless for a moment but, never daunted, she offered to rearrange the books so that they'd be easier to find. Father winced at this. Not one volume was in any kind of order. There was a Russian grammar book, next to Kon-Tiki, next to a Street fillflfl' Io Paris, next to Creek Mythol- ogy, next to Barbar and His Trzmcls, and so on. Nevertheless. Father knew where every volume was to be found. and the idea of Con- sin Alane's cataloging his library gave him a nasty turn. That would be even worse than the time I took pity on him and straightened out his tool chest.-Never will I forget his utter despair on that occasion.-But to get back to my original point, it was obvious that Cousin 'lane could lltll touch those books. I-low would you like to make a salad for lunch, dear? suggested Mother hopefully. Cousin qlane, of course, knew of a wonder- ful new kind of salad which she would just love to make for us. XVe'd adore it. she was sure. There were four long sighs of relief as we got to work. X'Ve dusted and polished to Cousin 1lane's melodious wail fiom the ad- joining kitchen, telling us that spring was here. She was in the church choir back home. which may give you some idea of what we went through. In the meantime. we finished downstairs before lunch while Cousin Alane was still concocting her salad. There's another thing about Cousin .lane that I haven't as yet mentioned. XVith all her remarkable qualities, she is a conhrmed hyliochondriac. Give her a breath of fresh air and she's sure she's going to catch pneu- monia. .-Ks we were sitting down to lunch, which we had in the kitchen, I went to open a window. The air was so thick that. to dust F i fty-seven
