Hanging the Clothes out to Dry

After running her laundry through the wringer, Mrs. Ferguson hauls it upstairs and out to the backyard, where she hangs it to dry in the sun. The long clothesline is fitted into a notch on a wooden prop so that the wet, heavy clothing won't cause it to sag. Mustn' have those clean towels dragging about in the dirt!

Dry clothes must be brought indoors and folded before starting dinner. Bob will be home any moment...
