MOTHER’S JOB
The various and comnlicated duties of “moth­
er” have been described in story and song, but it
remained for a Minnesota editor, Billy Noonan,
of the Baudette Region, to tell the world Mother’s
troubles in plain English. Billy writes:
Mother has a soft snap, hasn’t she?
She gets up at six o’clock, feeds the fire,
tunes up the kitchen orchestra and starts
cooking breakfast.
Then she calls dad, and he rolls over on
the other ear for another yard of sleep.
Then she calls the children and dresses
the younger ones.
Calls dad again, and he gets up growling
like a strange bulldog.
After breakfast she sends the children to
school and washes the dishes.
Then she tidies up the house and gets a
backache picking up things father has scat­
tered around.
Then she dies up a couple of his shirts and
chaperones a ne- lie over t’’j place where he
ripped them.
The children are hard on their clothes and
she puts in an hour mending garments.
Then she cooks dinner, : rves it and sends
the children back to schtol.
Business of washin dishes again.
The church is goin* to have a food sale, so
she bakes a cake for ¡„.
Dad’s best suit, w hich she pressed the oth­
er day, is ail over cigar ashes and has more
wrinkles in it than an accordion, so she
presses it again.
Then she mends hei own clothes.
It is muring supner time, so she gets busy
in the kitchen again.
Now she has her daily vacation, so she
hunts up her husband’s peekaboo socks, gets
out the kniting bayonets and mends the foot
kimonas.
So it isn’t much of a vacation after all.
The children are sleepy, so she puts them
to bed.
By thus time she is ready for bed herself,
but steals a few minutes to look over the-
newspaper.
