George's Working Club found it absolutely necessary to spend in a year for laundering clothes was almost half as much as the amount spent for lodging and nearly two-thirds as much as the amount originally spent for clothing. Where this large expense of laundry cannot be met financially by saleswomen, it has to be met by sheer personal strength.
There had seemed to be one fleeting epoch which he shared alone with the flapper, feeling the smooth yielding of her cheek and expanding under her very proudest gaze of ownership. And a little more about fumed oak panels and the patent laundry tubs.
Billy's a awful good man, and I'm glad to see you get him. There ain't many like him knockin' 'round, an' they ain't to be had for the askin'. An' you're both lucky. You was just made for each other, an' you'll make him a better wife than any girl I know. When is it to be?" Going home from the laundry a few days later, Saxon encountered Charley Long.
Jenkins to send Flamingus his is the only name of the brood that my memory retains for the church laundry." "He may call at the rectory," replied John, "and get the house laundry as well." "That will be good news for them. I shall enjoy watching Amarilly's face when she hears it." "And now, Colette, will you do something for me?" "Maybe. What is it?" she asked guardedly.
I wanted to speak with him. I nodded and beckoned to him and tried to show him what was going on, for though a mother has the eyes of a hawk, a father is often blind. And I thought that night he was going out without my having a chance to say a word. I went down to the kitchen and then to the dark laundry, out of sight of the cook.
Had not the majority of the settlers taken this gambling chance of pulling through somehow, the West would never have been settled. It is curious how quickly one's animal instinct of survival comes to the fore in primitive lands. If we ran out of coal we pulled the dried prairie grass to burn in the little two-hole monkey stove, which we had bought with the cot. Laundry stoves, some called them.
Home I came, a glad and busy creature, revolving in my mind the wants of the house and their speediest remedies new paper for the drawing-room; new wainscoting for the dining parlour; a stove for the laundry; a lock for the wine-cellar; baizing the door of the library; and new painting the hall; to say nothing of the grand design of Clarke and the flower-beds.
We talk with such superiority of the fact that we wear clothes and heathen savages get along with beads and rushes. For just that some six hundred and fifty thousand people work six days a week doing laundry work alone—not to mention mother at the home washboard—or electric machine.
It had rooms to let, or rather suites, and it had a clerk. So far, a hostelry. It had no dining room, no bar, no billiard room, no news-stand, no barber shop, no boot-black, no laundry and in these respects, at least, it belied its name. Some childless couples, some aged ones with married children, many young men, a few confirmed old bachelors, and a few unmarried women roomed therein.
I had been through laundries, I had read about laundries, and it was too much to ask anyone—if it was not absolutely necessary—to work in a laundry. And yet when the time came, I hated to leave the laundry. I entered the laundry as a martyr. I left with the nickname, honestly come by without a Christian effort, of “Sunbeam.” But, oh!
