EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
tfiMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
“Others may find it possible to keep
cool during these hot summer days,
but the housewife never,” exclaimed a
perspiring, careworn specimen of an
energetic housewife recently, as she
struggled wearily through the mid-day
heat. But she is only one of the many
who. fail to go about their summer-time
duties intelligently. We can learn a
llesson from our Southern sisters in
this respect. ,
Ilivthe Southern climes all the stir of
the day comes from 4 to 6 O’clock in the
morning: The dusky‘servants are out
with the broom, dust-cloths and water-
can, gomg the regular rounds of walks
andpiazzas, while the energetic house~
wifeyjn snowy-white apron, will be seen
withiabain theegarden selecting the
ripest and.;b.e.st. of the fruit for the day’s
tenant..- - .- : . *
Whilethe day’s preparations go on
it the maid and the mother, the
daughter ogpthefamily, in sun-bonnet
anddnnsilinfro'ck, 'selects the freshest
rosemadmuttifigthem off with stout
shears, dropsthem on a tray at her
:feetgtoalie-takento the cool piazza for
l
nmngement ,later. .
An hour later all is still, the house
thorbughly ‘ aired and cleaned, the
blinds lowered, the awnings adjusted,
the fragrant flowers nodding from slim
silver vases, the vegetables and Salads
in the codiness of the icebox.
‘l‘h'erbee buzzes‘ in the hot sunshine,
the barefoot darkey boy, with broad
hat, goes for the mail to the neighbor-
ing 5post office, eating sun-parched
blackbérries on the way. and thrusting
his dusky toes into the powdery dust in
his lazy tracks, while the household
whims letters, read, do fancy linen
work, stitch filmy muslins and summer
finery until the cool of the evening,
when social pleasures waken to fresh
life. " '
At a seaside resort kept in extrava-
gant elegance it is said that all the
rock of cleaning and repairing goes on
at night. The halls are scrubbed and
the lawns cut,isilyer ornaments polish-
ed, and 10! when one waked in the
morning and stepped forth into the
sunshine and sparkling sea air the
complete order and quietfinish of the
entire place gave a bewildering charm
and sense of coolness and rest that
made earth a very paradise.
Every housewife knows what a
r“drag” it is to worry through the
cares of cleaning and getting the
himse- in order during the long hot
mornings Of sultry summer days. If
we could adapt ourself to the Southern
method of having the real work of the
any finished before the sun is high in
the heavens we would be surprised to
find how really restful the most Oppres-
aive days. would seem.
It would not seem such a task to rise
very early and do the greater part of
Elle necessary work of cleaning, etc., in
the cool of the day, when we remember
that by this means there will be time
for a lazy time in the coolest spot that
mm be found later in the day.
And we should take into considera-
{ROD the fact that seemingly double the
mount of work can be accomplished
wly in the day, when one is feeling
i‘t‘oeh and vigorous, than later, when
sheheat eems to take away all ambi-
tion. .
The housewife who “cannot alford a
summer vacation” will find this plan of
early morning work, mid~day rest and
meial pleasures for the cool of the
evening the best possible routine for
health y, happy summer’- life.
