Home Sweet Home
AT FIRST I thought It was lira,
ply to get Adelaide thli vaca
tion; aht does need a little reat
from us, poor old girl!" aaid Mae.
' SSf now you ve got ner oil.
something's worrying you. 1 aat
down in the library hearing you
pace about aa long aa I could
bear it Want to tell me about It,
Brenda?"
She shook her head. "N-not Just
yet, Mac, but thank youl Its
terribly nice of you to realize I
wouldn't indulge in auch fool
iah behavior without without a
purpose. I won't pace any more.
You've taken part of my worry
and he returned the amile.
Thst's good!"
Monday morning Brenda tin
fered nervously at the breakfast
table, waiting for isobel to sum
mon Grenadine and give her the
ordera for the day. That waa
Adelaide'a habit. Daily she in
dulged in a monologue whicn ran
something like this:
Well, Grenadine, I suppose
we re going to nave to eat again
today: Dear, dear, I wish some
body would invent a new animal
seems as if all the old ones have
been used so many times we're
all tired of them. Let's aee. Better
start with dinner, that a the hard
est. Steak no, we had steak last
night. A roast, then. But I aaid I
wouldn t have roast berore Sun
day, meat is so terribly high.
Chops? M'm: yes, I guesa chops.
Tell the butcher to cut them
thicker than he did the last ones.
And Grenadine, try not to cook
them till they're like bits of wood,
won't you?
"Vegetables. Well, there are al
1 waya potatoes, thank goodness.
Creamed? No, better not creamed.
Baked, then . . . What? Oh. dear,
oh. dear! Yes, we did have them
baked last night with the steak
Grenadine, couldn't you lust for
ones suggest something?"
Amusedlv Brenda wondered
how long thla sort of thing would
fo on if an Interruption did not
nvariably put an end to it. Some
, times it waa the telenhone, some
times it waa Miss Ormnnd who
rose very early and began to
crave the aoclety of others soon
after breakfast, sometimes It was
Grenadine herself who In a flash
of unusual insniratlon suggested
a tentative menu.
Remembering all this, sha sat
tenselv waitinp for Isobel to aum
mon the cook. But Isnbel rose and
atarted upstalra in the most lei
surely fashion imaginable.
"Isobel!" Brenda'a voice was
panickv. "Aren't you going to plan
dinner?"
Isobel gave her a quiet smile.
"The meals for three days ahead
are planned, and the day's order
waa in before you were down
stairs. Grenadine has a typed
menu with full directions not
that I Intend to trust to her
Judgment In the matter, howeverl
In the kitchen."
Brenda almost staecered with
relief. This did sound like effi
ciency! Pur Magie
SHE shut herself Into her room
and tried to apply herself to the
day's square, but subdued sounds
from below kept her from con
centrating on her task. When she
was railed down to lunch, she
looked about her In astonish
ment Dining room and living
room had undereona alight but
Important chances.
"W-what have vou done. Iso
bel" she faltered.
"Nothing that can't be undone
In a short time If Adelaide ob
jects." Isobel viewed the work of
her hind (and of Grenadlne'si
proudly. The big wire plant stand
filled with languishing Geraniums
and Iw which shut off most of
the liht in the two ast windows
of the dining room had ben
moved Into a south window In the
library across the hall. The list
less lace curtains had been re

especially as Iobel'a clever hand
had set a bowl nf golden calen
dulas where they drew the morn
ing sun.
In the 1'vlng room, the same
hand hsd been at work. Chairs
hid forsaken their stiff parade
about the room and gathered
themselves cosilv about a table,
or grouned in twos and hrees
For the first time sinee Brenda
had been in the house the numer
ous magazines lav in trim nilea
the newsnsners were folded and
lav resdv to hand The mantel
piece had lost its confusion of un
related ornaments and was se
renely beauti'iil with a pair of
bavherrv randies In shining brass
holders, the matching hnwl be
tween holding ruaty chrysanthemums.
"It's magic," Brenda gasped,
(lancing about. "Purt magic!
The new housekeeper shook
her head, and hurried away up
stairs. Monday was always a hard
day for both Mac and Eric
They came in a little apprehen
sively that evening. Adelaide had
her limitations but after all sha
was housekeeper witb years of
experience behind her.
Eric eyed the changes In the
living room with patent misgiv
ings. Mac was more appreciative,
complimenting lsnhl wermls. on
the Increased comfort: but he too
glanced anxiously now and then
toward the dining room. Present
ly Eric aat up with a lerk. Hia
nose had caught an odor which
made him remember that he'd had
no luncheon that day.
At aix-thirty exactly the grin
ning Grenadine announced din
ner. And what a dinner It was!
"What ia thia heavenly atuff,
Isobel?" Brenda demanded. "I've
never eaten anything like it be
fore in my life!"
"Stew," was the demure reply.
"Plain Irish atew well, perhaps
not exactly plain since I flavored
it a bit myself. You see, I want
to keen the bills down while Ade
laide ia away."
Keep the bills down! The
boarders stared at one another in
amazement. If to serve, in addi
tion to the delicious atew. delicate
young beets, big bowl of salad
whose leaves glistened with a
dressing, tantalizingly good, crisp
fresh rolls, and fig pudding with
hard sauce if to serve all these
to perfection was the way to keep
the bills down, then heaven be
praised for economyl
Need Of Consolation
ISOBEL mounted from triumph
to triumph as the week went on.
Gone were the alightly rumpled
tablecloths and In their atead were
fringed oblongs of gay pink and
white material. "Bought at the
five and ten with what I've saved
on the grocery bills." aaid the
housekeeper nonchalantly.
"Mac, what do vou know!" Erie
demanded one evening. "My laun
dry has all been put away where
it belongs, mind vou.' and not a
button's missing, not a sock haa a
hole. Home was never like this!"
Mac's grateful glance went to
Isobel who had flushed becoming
ly. Erie waa loudest in his praises
of the new regime but it was Mac
who showed his aonreciation in
tangible wavs. Mac brought Isobel
a box of the chocolate nepner
mlnta of which she was fond. Mae
appointed himself official corre
spondent to Adelaide, wording hia
lettera tactfully ao that she
neither worried about her house
hold's welfare, nor experienced a
pang at her young auccesaor's
achievements.
'Well, that's one thing I've
started along the right track any
way, the little achemer consoled
herself.
She had need of some consola
tion. It waa undenlnhlv Isnbel'a
week. Both men accorded her the
warm praise of those who had
been uncomfortable without en
tirely realizing it and now were
sunrem-lv comfortable.
Brenda soon could take a otilet
nrlde In effnrta of her own,
"though I can't serve 'em on the
table twice a dav aa Isohel does."
sh thought, sighing audibly.
The greenhouse on the Aher-
nathv fnrm was In orocesa of con
struction. Ned Bsrrow telephoned
her trlomnhantlv that he had rot
Ab to listen to reason on the sub
lect. .
"How?" Brenda marveled, and
Indeed she did wonder how so
difficult a feat had been accom
plished. "Just as vnu suggested " he said
gratefully. "I had some blueprints
made, and I got a list of horrid
nrirklv plants that some Chicago
exnert recommended. I wired him
'or advice Then t t"nk the whole
lot to Alnlne and she went msd
over 'em. I let her rave a while,
snd then proposed tht the twins
take me Into nartner.shin. thev to
sunnly the land. I the eah for sci

"It was the experiment nart that
nt 'em. though hev think it waa

B'enda praised him enthualas
tleallv and turned nwiv from the
telenhone In a glow of aelf-ap-omval.
It faded, however, when she
considered hnw hadlv matters
were rilng with ith Rnltns. Al
most daily he called her uo and
commanded, or entreated, as hia
mond ml"ht be. that she meet him
heMnd the deserted house and
fell him over and nvr again what

Brenda knew the story of their
auarrel now. Hueh had Insisted
on felling her: pleaded that It
would do him good to pour it out
to aymnsthetle soul.

CCC TRAINING HELPS
10 HI JOBS
AT AIRCRAFT PLANTS
Washington. D. C. Sp.)
Mechanical training taught in
civilian conservation corps
camps has enabled 85 CCC
youths to obtain jobs In west
coast aircraft manufacturing
plants in recent months, James
J. McEntee, director, disclosed
here.
The men. members of Califor
nia camps, took courses in avi
ation mechanics in addition to
training in handling machinery
on work projects.
"Aviation mechanics ia only
one of the many courses made
available to CCC enrollees in
these camps," Mr. McEntee aaid.
"We have not stressed this par
ticular field above any other,
but in these cases the enrollees
had an aptitude and desire for
such training and our camp in-(
structional staff was qualified
to teach it. We had fine cooper.
ation from neighboring schools
and the California board of edu
cation, which made possible the
use of school facilities."
Of the 83 obtaining jobs, 38
went to the Consolidated Air
craft corporation, 17 to the
Lockheed Aircraft corporation,
14 to the Ryan Aeronautical
company, 9 to Douglas Aircraft.
4 to North American Aviation
and 3 to Northrosi Aircraft.
