HELEN CODDINGTON gets a hug from granddaughter
Trisha Anseth
Grandchildren her hobby
"Before we moved to
Timberlakes as permanent
residents," says Helen
Coddington, "we camped here on
weekends. 1 always hatefl to go
hack home to Seattle."
First the family vacationed in
a tent.
"I don't like sleeping bags on
the ground," Helen explains, "so
we had a bed set up in the tent.
Later we bought a small trailer."
Helen Coddington and her
husband, AI, now live in a large
double-wide mobile home bright
with blooming African violets and
brimming with visiting
grandchildren.
Mrs. Coddington makes baby
quilts and embroidered crib
sheets.
"'The grandchildren are my
hobby," Helen states. "'I love
children. I used to babysit, and I
practically raised dozens of kids."
As a four-year-old, Helen left
her hometown of Mabton,
Washington, to remain in Seattle
until moving to Timberlakes
approximately two years ago.
Completing the Coddington
household are two long-haired
cats, a calico and a black, and a
dog named Duchess.
"1 don't consider myself a
fancy cook," she says. "1 don't
mind cooking, but I prepare just
good plain food."
Compliments and comments
on her luscious pecan pie cause
her to remark:
"'It's the easiest thing ever to
make!"

Cosmetics
for YOU
WARM UP
SALLOW SKIN
Q. I have light brown hair
and a light olive complexion•
What shade of foundation and
rouge should I use?
A. Light olive skin has a
tendency to look sallow and
needs a touch of warmth.
Avoid yellow tones in your
foundation and orange tones in
your rouge.
For daytime wear, choose a
foundation that is close to, but
peachier than, your natural
coloring.
For evening wear, you can
use a foundation with more of
a pink tone or you can cover
your daytime foundation over
with an opal powder.
Use a rouge that is on the
blue side of the red scale.

"This place is rather
run-down," remarked my visitor
as he slowly withdrew a rapidly
swelling leg from the rotting
timbers of my front porch
flooring.
"'Oh, it's not so bad," I
answered airily as I held the door
for him. (You have to hold it or it
falls off.)
"Well, it certainly isn't good,"
he said bitterly as he extracted a
shattered cedar sliver from a bare
and bleeding shin.
"Now, look," 1 told him
sternly, "if this place isn't good
enough for you...'"
"Oh, it is! It is! ! like the
place. 1 just love your home! It's
so... ah, different!"
"Well, if you're sure," I
muttered, somewhat mollified,
"Come on in."
"I'm sure," he declared,
cautiously toe-testing the
threshhold before crossing it.
! closed the door and braced a
plank against it.
"The latch doesn't work," I
explained. I looked at him
suspiciously. "! suppose you
think that's run-down, when the
latch doesn't work."
"Heck no," he protested.
"Lots of my best friends have
latches that don't work. Heck,
that's nothing."
I beamed at him. He wasn't
such a bad guy after all.
He limped toward the big
overstuffed recliner.
"Don't sit there," I said.
"Broken, I assume?"
"Of course not. It's in fine
condition. However, my dog likes
to sit there. Makes her furious to
come in and find somebody
sitting in her chair. Especially a
stranger.
"She's a great big German
shepherd," 1 added.
He changed course and
headed for the divan.
"Can't you see," I
admonished, "that the divan is
already occupied?"
"I see the seven cats," he
replied, "but couldn't we move
one?"
"We couldn't. Sit over there."
:"1 hate to mentio0 this, but
theft chair doesn't look. too
sturdy."
"It's okay if you keep your
weight to the left. Haven't you
ever sat in a three-legged chair
before?"
"Where, may 1 ask, do you
intend to sit?" "
"On the mantle. I always sit
on the mantle. Nice breeze in the
summer and warm for my feet in
the winter."
"I see. That explains the
ladder."
"1 used to be able to vault up
there," I sighed, "but that was
before I broke my legs."
"Fell through the front porch,
did you?"
"No. I fell into the toilet."
"An outdoor toilet, no
doubt."
"What do you think this place
is, primitive or something? I have
an indoor bathroom"
"Then how.. 2"
"I locked myself out and had
to crawl through a bathroom
window."
"Both legs?"
"Just one. The other snapped
when I got trampled in a
stampede."
"Aha! Those horses of
yours!"
"Don't be silly. I got myself
boxed into a rummage sale
crowd."
"Those scars on your
arms...
"I got those when I fell down
stairs."

"Steps pretty rotten, too, are
they?"
"Not at all. I was on crutches
with one leg in a cast and my shirt
was on fire and I just tried to take
them a little too fast."
"Your shirt was on fire!"
"Well, actually, the whole
upper story was burning pretty
good. I was trying to smoke out
the bats and things got sort of out
of control - say, how about a
smoked bat sandwich?"
"No, thank you! But maybe a
glass of water .... "
"Sorry, but my water supply
is poisoned."
"Poisoned! Who...?"
"Hard to say. I only know
that the last fellow who drank it
had to have his stomach
pumped."
"But what do you drink - oh,
of course! This accounts for that
huge heap of empty beer bottles."
"It does not! The beer is for
my slug-traps. However, if you'd
like some it's no trouble to pick
out the slugs."
"Please! I'm about to be sick.
Where's the bathroom?"
"That-a-way," I pointed.
"Don't mind the dirty dishes in
the bath tub."
"I'm afraid to ask, but I will.
Why are the dirty dishes in the
bath tub?"
"That's where 1 wash them
