Just to prove to you that there's no need to let yourself look dowdy on the days you stay in and do a bit of work around the house. No reason why overalls shouldn't be pretty as well as practical. Choose bright colours rather than chintzy patterns, keep the cut trim, and not sloppy, and if unexpected callers drop in you'll be well dressed to meet them.

TN one house I know they use a war time air raid rattle to an- nounce lunch. The rattle has a range of about 300 yards, which makes sure that father hears. Sometimes he comes in (if he happens to have finished what he's doing or is particularly hungry).

More often he waits for five or ten minutes, knowing per- fectly well that the air raid signal has been given early just to lure him in on time. I guess this kind of thing happens in a good many families.
