"Why," I ask bitterly, "do light bulbs always bum out at night rather than in the daytime when I don't need them?" As this can be considered a somewhat hypothetical question, I do not answer. Instead I stagger blindly toward the drawer in which my spares are kept. i grope in unseeing uncertainty through a tangle of string, a slipperiness of hoarded plastic bags, a quandary of undetermined items and a painful clutch of thumbtacks. I grasp at last the bulb and creep a cautious way toward my stepstool which is not where I left it. "Why," I ask, "do otherwise stationary objects immediately change places when the lights go out?" Another hypothetical question. I find the stepstool. I move it into what I foolishly believe to be the spot directly below my kitchen light ftxture. I climb the three unsteady steps to perch precariously upon Luncheon set Elinor Chapter 177, Past Matron's Club of Eastern Star, will meet Saturday in Erna Martin's home at Hidden Haven, Shelton.

I reach tentatively upward to touch my eight-and-a-half- foot-high ceiling. No light fixture. I have forgotten on which side of the stepstool are the three unsteady steps.

On the second ~lttempt I position the little ladder correctly. Eager fingers make contact with reluctant bulb. I remove it. Eager fingers make contact with empty socket. I pick myself up off the floor and try again. I insert bulb. Nothing happens• No lights. "Must be a fuse," I mutter as I don boots and jacket and go shivering and sloshing through the icy muck to the fusebox, which is located outdoors. The muck within the house is not frozen. Yet. "Why," I ask, "don't fuses blow on a nice, warm, sunny day when I'm already outside?" This one doesn't rate an answer, either. Fuses seem to be okay. Back into the house. The kitchen is ablaze with light! Poltergeists. I'm sure of it. Sudden darkness. "All right, you guys," I yell, "knock it off! Leave the lights alone and go play with the dishes or something!" As the lights promptly appear, I see her high on a shelf - my little bright-eyed blue-point Siamese, her pixie face aglow with wicked pleasure and her swift, soft, silent paw swatting the light switch.
