If worrying did any good I'd have a fortune. I've worked hard enough at that & tried to get something else to do but it's pretty hard at my age unless one can be a scrub woman. They do not have to be young & good looking but I would'nt fill the bill even as a scrub woman but Egbert is taking a course at the Wiggins Trade School. Tuition is free & all materials. He is learning to do the work of interior decorating & some commercial art.

He has had a lot of experience in painting but there are many new ways of finishing interiors now & new ways of papering. He likes it very much like all kinds of mechanical work. There has been no work for him this winter & he thought he might as well put in his time to advantage - and that it would help him when building - picks up & money loosens up if it ever does.
