She looked old for her years. She
( grumbled at hr housework in
fact, 6he was always crumbling.
for she was always doing house
work. And the trouble? Well,
Airs. Janes just lacked that clort-
ous thing we call system. She poo
, poohed the idea of doing a particu
! lar task at a definite time. But
.whenMr$. Janes "broke" and her
, si.ster' came to take charge there
. was a vast change in that house
hold. And the sister stayed long
.enough to show Mrs. Janes "the
way to leisure, through system."
Leisure time a certain amount
. in the .birthright of every individ
ual.. Upon what we do with our
leisure tiroe frequently depends the
health and advancement, not only
of the individual, but of the com
munity as well. And so it is the
x duty of every housewife to so ar
range her household that -there
. shall conic to her leisure time.
Mrs. Janes began her day by
nerve-straining hustle to get
breakfast She arose early enough,
but even at that she had so much to
do that it required much hurrying
to accomplish it if she were to get
the family out in time.. - .And just
how did her sister change this?
Sister planned a simple breakfast
to begin with. One breakfast might j
have consisted of, apple sauce, oat-
meal, toast and cocoa. The apple

while she had to be at the cook
stove watching something else. It
was set aside ready to be dished at
a moment's notice. The oatmeal was
put into the fireless cooker and was
nicely cooked when the family
arose in the rhornincr. The bread
was cut and trimmed and placed on
plates ready to be slipped into the
broiler of the gas range , anu
toasted next morning.
The table was set and. covered.
And this arrangement allowed the
housewife to sleep at least one hour
longer than she had been sleeping
each morning and still gave the fam
ily a simple, nourishing breakiast
before they left home.
Sister requested the children and
the husband to throw back the bed
' covers so that the beds might air
thoroughly until the appointed time

morning she was ready to wash
dishes. For this task she allowed
one hour. But she had more than
the breakfast dishes tCK wash. She
Ftored the dishes from'luncheon and
evening dinner ci the previous day
in a zinc-lined covered box under
the drain board of the sink.
By this system she washed dishes
intensely, just ence "each day, and
devoted a full, hour to the perform
ance. Next the living room w-as put
into order and the beds made. Bv
11 o'clock she was ready for the
market on day that she went to
market. Luncheon, consisting of
Itft-overs usuallv nlns a warm milk
scup or drink, was on the table bv
12:30. The dishes were scraped and
: Stacked in the box. .
From one o'clock until 2:30 she
, arranged some particular task for
each day. One day it might be a
thorough cleaning of the bathroom
or one of the bedrooms. From
2:30 until 5, until it was time X
begin preparations for dinner, in
jgeneral she was free. And she kept
this time free from household du
ties. This time allowed for enjoy
ing the sunshine or for leisurely tub
bathing or the witnessing -of a mo

Of , course, it takes will power.
Everything worth while does. In
the beginning, ypu will find great
temptation to infringe or allow
household duties to infringe on your
leisure time, iou may have to re
arrange your plan. But realizing
v that a plan, however faulty, is the
first step toward creating leisure, is
a good sign, lry it tor a month.
You will never go back to the old
way again. .

The home is the best workshop
for the building of character. The
many outside interests that draw
people away from home life today
have a tendency to weaken the in-
' fluence of the home. And this ten
dency is coming to be a' dangerous
- one in that it takes the family out
