But sturdy and staunch It stands, The pots and kettles are threat-1 ened with rust. From lack of a practiced hand. Tim was when the little house glistened with care. And the curtains did not look that way, But that was before our little housewife Joined the Board of the PTA. "Now. I'll Just Join for this year,' sne saia, i 'Take a Job that la easy and slow.
