Unlike the original Pooh Bah, she does not draw a salary for each pursuit. Instead of this, she usually has the privilege of fiodieg virtue its owo and only re ward. The woman who does oot keep up with the times, drifts easily into mo notony. This is a blunder. Never should you let yourself get into a rut, my friend the housekeeper. It does not pay. erbaps it may seem to lighten labor to have the wheels run in a groove, but in the long run—and often in the short run, too—it will be found to be a mistake, if it is your sense of duty that puts you and keeps you there, go to work to try to remodel your perception of what constitutes duty. If you have a New Eogland conscience of the v.rulent type, take chloroform and have it extracted. Sometimes the roots go too deep for this, and then the only thing that will help is con stant treatment. The woman who means to hold her own should consider seriously what her owo is. First and foremost, she will probably tell you, are those who belonged to her household. They must be cared for, fed and clothed. Granted. Bat men—likewise women and children—do not live by bread alone, and the life is more than rai ment. We ail of us know homes where the bodies of the inmates are fed and the souls and spirits go starved. « M Once upoo a timt> I knew a borne where everyone was happy. It was a badly kept house from one point of view. The mother was no house keeper, and she kcew it. There were holes in the linen, slits in the window shades, frayed spots in the carpets. The service of the table could only be' described as higgledy-piggledy. Yet I have never known a more united family. TherS may have been cracks in the china, but there was none in the domestic unity. The children were loving and obedient, the father and mother were companionable and charming. Of course it was not because the bouse was in rags and splinters. It might have been patched and the family peace still unbroken. But anyone who had to choose between living in such a home and in a domain presided over by the kind of gorgon known as a "nasty-particular” house keeper, would not have hesitated for a moment. He*would have preferred godliness to cleanliness and taken it at the first offer. Either of thfese illustrations Is an extreme and this is wbaf the woman who holds her own strives to avoid. The middle course chat has been de scribed as golden is the end of her ef forts. In order to win this she should lay to heart the truth that something must be crowded out. Oue woman, | mg Classes that her children bring themselves up by hand, and her husband finds his only satisfactory gastronomic greeting at the club or the restaurant. In the goulish phrase of a sorightly young man, she does not wish either to keep in front with the hearse or come trailing along at these u> he back with the buggies. It is no small thing to be a wife and mother, and the fools who yearly ru>h into a relation where angels might well fear to tread open a terri fy ing prospect for the future of the race Still, the fools are not in the majority, and the greater part of the women who make mistakes do it through ignorance and false sense of proportion. When we start classes in girls’ schools for the study of a perspective that is not that of draw iog and a proportion that is oot to be found in the arithmetics, we may hope better things for the future of the nation. In the meantime—‘‘don’t throw things at the performers, they are doing their best.” Their very best, poor things! It is not the fault of the young girl that she has not been trained for the great career of wife hood and motherhood that, if God is good to her, lies ahead of her. As it is, she can only do her possible. It is a big thing when a woman has learned how to make a man happy, though married, bow to bring up children so that they will be as much comfort as possible to their families and as little nuisance as feasible to the neighbors, to keep house eo that □o one but the house would suspect it did noi keep itself, to manage a servant so that she will n^t look up on the mistress as her natural enemy, to be ready *□ hospitality without making it a burden, to be on good terms with the neighbors, near or far, without condescending to petti ness, to be a member of a Woman’s Club without leaving the stockings undarned, to attend church without losing her temper on’Sunday morning, to post herself upon current events without taking the paper from her husband at the breakfast table, to read a new book occasionally, to practice outdoor exercise enough to keep herself in good bodily trim, to dress herself tastefully without form- i. p- '■JkW ing colossal bills, to bestow sufficient attention upon her figure and face to preserve her good looks, and hav ing done all this, to save herself from nervous prostration by the system and moderation she brings to them all. And yet there are women who main tain that the domestic career does not give full scope to their powers! In the name of the great Goddess Common Sense, what more do they want?
