Mary Brown Hadl
Mutinied
By HELEN ST. BERNARD
((Cl by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.*
(WNU Service. I
AT ARY BROWN pushed the flatiron
lYl back and forth wearily. Three
o’clock and still half a basket of sprin-
kled clothes to Iron. They would mil-
dew If left over and Marian had said
she wanted to wear the dotted suisse
frock to tbo dance tonight. There were
eight little ruffles around the hem.
Mary pushed her hair back from her
forehead. Henry, too, had expressed
a desire for sauerkraut and dumplings
for dinner and she had not taken
the time to order the groceries. The
day was hot.
There had becD six; no, seveu shirts
for Henry; four dresses for Marian—
where was the pink and white-dotted
suisse ... it was wrapped In a
bath towel. She must do that next
. . . eight i.ttle ruffles arouad the
hem . . . and right there her spir-
it broke. A pink and white-dotted
dress with eight ruffles broke the
spirit of valiant Mary Brown.
She resolutely drew the plug from
the Iron and turned it on end to "ool;
rewrapped the pink and white dress
in the towel, pushed the basket of
sprinkled clothes under the kitchen
table, and sat down in the little rock-
er beside the kitchen window.
Henry, middle-aged, plodding, easy-
going; coming home from the store
at night; devouring the dinner, the
menu of which he usually outlined at
breakfast ... the evening paper
yawns noisy and frequent, and Anally
the shoeless ascent of the stairway to
bed.
For eight years, Mary had wanted
Henry to take the boat trip up the
Great Lakes, stopping at Mackinac
Island, but each year Henry had other
plana for hie vacation.
Marian, nineteen and pretty, wlffnl
and selfish; rushing home from the
office at five, no time to help with
the dinner dishes, a rapid change Into
another frook, and away again with
some admiring young ekvaliflr.
Junior was ■ dear boy hat fatty.
Right now his sole Interest was radio.
His room was a hopeless mess of
wire, lotteries, boxes end books.
Twelve years of age end he coaid
not be convinced that he should shoul-
der the responsibility of keeping the
walks clean, the lawn mowed and his
own neck and ears clean.
Dolly, small and dainty, hopelessly
spoiled because of a childish illness,
knew that to accomplish her heart’s
desire was to cry loud and long. She
was petted outrageously.
“Whose fault Is 11?“ sighed Mary
Brown ss she rocked beck and forth
that hot afternoon in tfae little toskto-
-Why isn’t my family ffke other fam-
ilies? All 1 get Is work—wor'. -work
. . . sauerkraut and dumplings I
Pink and white-dotted dresses with
eight mines . . . and dreaming
all the time that perhaps some day
Henry will take me on that trip up
the Great Lakes, to Mackinac In-
land. . . *
Four o’clock. Four-thirty. At five
o'clock she went upstairs, and at flve-
thlrty she was In bed. Mary Brown
had mutinied? She awaited results.
"Mother,” walled little Dolly from
the door. “You aren’t sick, are you.
You Just can’t bo sick, Mother. What
will we dor
A good beginning, thought Mary
Brown, as she turned over on her
pillow. She smiled again when Marian
rushed In. exclaiming________
"Mother i Duliy says you are sick I
Are you really ... If you are I
can’t go to the party tonight”
And below on the front porch Dolly
was calling: "Daddy, Daddy, Mother
Is sick I And dinner isn’t ready.”
Henry looked down at her and she
closed her eyes and sighed.
“Well, Mother, what’s up? Tired?
Well, you rest and Marian and I will
get the dinner. Did you have time to
make the dumplings?”
This was the finishing touch. She
sat up quickly. She had wanted sym-
pathy from her family. They were
thinking of themselves as usual.
“1 arti here—because of you I All of
y<gi! All I do Is Iron, wash, scrub,
bake—sauerk tut and dumplings I Iron
—eight ruffles on one drear I Seven
shirts 11 am nothing but a slave. . .
Henry was alarmed. “Marian!” be
called. "Come quick. Mother must
be sick . . . and Mother Is never
sick!”
“We have had a family council.
Mother, and are ready to report. I’ll
come last. Dolly will lead off. Come
Baby, tell Mother. . . ."
“I’m not going to cry any more,
and I*m going to help Mother . . .
and be a good girl,” sang Dolly, her
face radiant, and Junior interrupted
her with:
“And Tm going to take care of the
porch and walks, and study hard, and
wash my neck and ears. . .
Marian’s voice trembled n little.
“I’m going to do everything I should.
Mother, to make It easy for you. And
Tm going to finish that Ironing this
very minute, and will do some of the
housework. . .
Then Henry spoke. “You’ll have to
do It all for a couple of weeks, Marian.
Mother and I ate going on a honey-
moon. How about a trip to fh Great
Lakes, Mary, with a stop-over at Mack-
inac island?”
There were kisses from all and
Marian started downstairs.
"Marian.” called Mary Brown.
“Leave the pink and white-dotted
dress, and I’ll Iron It tomorrow, dear.
You could never Iron those eight lit-
tle ruffles so they will loo); pretty" 1
