Literar . . . The Housewife . . . by STANTON Moom' Tell me-who is the realboss in your home? Well, my wife bosses the servants . . . and the children boss the dog and cat . . . and . . . And you? Well, I can say anything I like to the gera- niumsf' From the foregoing anecdote we get a fair comprehension of the housewifeg and from this definition, so to speak, I will attempt to present to you the typical day of a modern housewife. A typical modern housewife rises at six in the morning. From six until six-thirty she prepares daddy's breakfast. What she serves him is typical of George Baker's Sad Sack. It consists of two eggs fried to the bottom of the pan, two slices of toast with enough charcoal on them.to make a hundred antidotes, and a cup of weak, stale, and semi-percolated coffee. Daddy does have some recompense, however, for his return from his nocturnal dolce far niente-he can read the Morning Eccenewsn and find out why he isn't so bad off anyway. Breakfast and daily inspec- tion for the kiddies are over around eight when the kiddies go to school with their apple a day to keep the E's away. From thence until noon, it's cook, sew, and moreso. For lunch she opens two cans of soup with great care and precision, an art which she learned at the local cooking school, and pours the con- tents with just the right amount of water into a cooking vessel, which she puts on the stove to heat. In the above prescribed manner she pre- pared the lunch for her husband and children in a record breaking time of three minutes and forty-three seconds. After lunch she has the whole afternoon to herself, in which time she listens to her favorite radio programs or watches television. Here is a list of some of her favorites. On radio- Old Dr. Souse, The Late Barmy Brown, Charles A11- tell: A I-lair-Raising Episode, T he Republican, the Democratic, and the Cocktail Party, and The Right to Misery. On television- Ther:-:'s Cne ln Every Family, Bribed and Groomedf' Double Nothing, and Domestic Prologue. Ah! And now wercome to the masterpiece- dinner. She' prepares her dinner from a motley of frozen foods, which were picked in their prime to insure freshness and' tempting flavor. What a meal it is! So delicious and enticing that not one morsel is left. After washing the dishes, etc., she and poor, tired out daddy go over to the jones' For a full evening of bridge and the latest gossip. Men work' from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done, seems to be a true prophecy, for how can she ever get anything done with Wai diflicult schedule like the foregoing. THE END ' WhotA Life! L L l'd like to get away from here And pitch a roomy, tent,- , Where I could go and hunt deer . , To my heart's content. I'd like a rushing stream In which the salrnonrun. Where I could go and take my pole 'And fish in the drowsing sun. I'd also like a forest To which no warden came, Wherefl could go andhunt, And get my limit of game. These are the things That I like best. just to go in the woods And take a long rest. it ' BxLL BURTON Life Ideal .. . . i ' Unending vacation, Entertainment galore, .
