I will admit that during our courting day» the last thing that crossed my mind was the fact that after a certain ceremony I’d be responsible for those white shirts that came calling tor me. Of course Jeff was behind the shirts and at the moment that was about all I noticed. But long about the time our “I do" date was set it occurred to me that Jeff was the spic *n* spannest man I knew It also dawned on me that mother wasn’t going to be around to take care of my lovely trousseau things. In short, the new Mrs. Stusrt was go ing to be faced with a laundry problem. Simul taneously I'dis covered that about the most non-elastic arti cle known is a newlywed bud get. And there had been no pro vision in said budget for a washing machine. Then and there began the most intensive campaign poor Jeff has been through to date and 1 pass on that strategy for what it's worth. I asked for an inventory of his washable wardrobe, itemized every tubbable article I owned, compiled a list of our necessary linens, tow els, blankets, etc. The list stag gered even me. I appealed to his American love of mechanization; I pointed out that a mechanical washer was sanitary, safe, and as easy to operate as the mere flick of a switch. With the budget bugaboo in mind 1 noted carefully that a home washing machine helped spare the life of clothing. I even brought interior decorating into the scene by pointing out that a machine was a wonderful item in tinting sheets or spreads or drapes Then there was the possibility of bsby clothes later on that would have to be clean and sweet-smell ing. 1 wound up the campaign in a burst of oratory which labeled the washing machine as vitally essen tial to the morale and health of the American home. Jeff couldn't help himself: he gave in and came th lough with a washing machine that is the pride of our household. The best part of the situation is that I came to realize that every sales point was true. And while I’m glad I talked Jeff into it, I’m even more delighted to find out how right I was* By MRS ALBERT MILLSAP Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brisbin and Mr. and Mrs. Orville Hayward and son were dinner guests at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Gilbert Brosig.
