KEEP YOUR OWN HOUSE
The hardest housekeeping in the
world is the housekeeping that we
do for our neighbors. Half of the
troubles that trouble us are caused by
worrying about what other people
think. What difference does it make
what they think, anyway?
No one can live his life and two or
three other people's lives besides.
So what's the use of setting up
housekeeping on the roofs or on the
outside walls for the benefit of the
neighbors? You would rightly be
judged insane if you suggested any
thing of the kind, and that is prac
tically what half the people do. They
can't do this because the neighbors
would talk, and they can't do that
because the neighbors wonder if they
can afford it.
They may not say so in so many
words, but they mean it, and it is
simply a great big vacuum in some
of our natures where moral courage
ought to be.
Half the sting of poverty or of
small means is gone when one keeps
house for , himself and not for his
neighbors.
WHY DOES SHE DO IT?
This is the season when almost
every home in Oregon City is in tur
moil and the so-called head of the
house is an outcast. The queen of the
home goes about with a dust cap on
the little knot into which she has
twisted her hair and pushing every
thing before her with a broom. There
are millions of her all over the land,
proving the old saying that woman's
work is never done. For be it known
this is woman's season of tyranny
over man. It is Spring houseclean
ing time and she frantically scrubs,
sweeps and dusts. She runs up and
down stairs. From cellar to attic
she conducts her drive against dirt.
The rugs and carpets are torn from
the floors and carried out into the
vnrd. The curtains are down and the
niViiiroa a niled in the hall. The
furniture is in mass formation in the
center of the room and there is no
place to read the evening paper,
moil -fntfier pnmps home at nierht he
is introduced to the stepladder and
t.)i nfiio-hbars can hear the rat-a-tat-
tat of his hammer as he changes the
lnratinn of everv nicture nail in the
house or wrestles with the window
curtain rollers. He knows better
than to rebel and meekly carries out
orders and other things. Mother is
making the home so clean that for
weeks no sane man will want to live
in it and after the war is over and
father has received his discharge,
with no pay for the overtime, he will
sneak down town of evenings and try
to drown his sorrows in coca cola at
the corner drug store. But be of good
cheer, fellow sufferers. It will blow
over and home will be home once
more. But why does she do it?
