By HELEN LANG

Last week I. made a quick trip
to Aberdeen, Washington, to sce
a very dear old aunt. While there
LU did the usual housewife’s survey
of rices for fruit, meat and
vegetables.» Potatoes’ were a
scandalous price... something
they refer. to. as ‘‘baking
potatoes’” (netted... gems © or
“kennebeks) were 59 cents a
pound, but watermelons were 10
cents a pound, and field tomatoes
39 cents:

Meat was marked at about the
“same price as here (so adding the:

“cottage. cheese were much less, —

He watered for a couple of hours -
- (probably cussing me the whole —
time). and.I’m sure his lawn-will

be grateful, even if he isn’t!

Bought a couple of miniature
roses for my aunt, and planted:
them, causing much concern to
her ‘other neighbour. who. :was
watching doubtfully out her open
window. Finally she couldn’t

stand -it- any. longer. and. said
