A HAPPY HOME. Some discouraged
wives fancy they DO nothing wollhy when
they only make good and happy home.
For such we quote the following para
graph from an exchange: 1T takes u
good deal OF brains TO keep house. to
make hone, even if you don't do the
manual labor. The woman who makes
n perfect one, puts into the work prob.
ably enough talent to have made for
tune. But if she prefers the latter result
she had best not marry. She may be
able to do other things better. more
pro6tably, but very few of us in this
world get into just the work we want.
There is no tonic better than the con.
sciousness that one amounts 70 something
But we are sorry for the woman who
thinks she does not because she only
keeps house."
