Crescent Crayon Company, for they are
frauds. L wanted good picture OF my
darling papa, who died tho 18th of last
February, and also one of my husband. l
! sent the cash, thinking l would get good
| pictures, but l never was so disappointed
| In oil my life as when | did get them, for
they Were nothing like the pictures | sent
them. When the express was paid they
| cost me SlS.25. Now l will have to pay
| out more money to have more taken, for |
| will not have them.
Susie G. Styron-May I come into the
| Kingdom and rest while this morning. i
| overheard conversation between two farm
ers' wives just now and it tired and pro
vohed me. too. One of them SAID it was
| the first time she mad been from home in
| three months except to q burial. That she
/ never had time to go anywhere, but she just
would drop everything and go when theie
was burial. because she thought it W III her
! duty
| The other declared she hadn't felt rested
| In five years and never expected to again.
| Aud yet" she added, men don't think
women's work is anything. Why, just this
morning, when | complained of feeling so
! tired. John wanted to know why | didn't
rest. Rest, indeed as if farmers wife
| ever had time to rest this side of the grave.
l asked him who he expected to clean up
the house, cook his meals and do the thou
| sand and one things that had TO be done,
| while / was resting.
who love their husbands and would
| resent anything any one else
| talk, one would thing that farmers" as
| a class, and their husbands in particular,
We're perfectly selfish and cared nothing
for their families except the work they
| could do. They do not have to work,
| some of them,v very hard but if they did
| fathers or husbands wanted them to, we
would hear fewer women complaining
OF overwork OF course there are some
men who, want their fanSlies ~ work
Like slaves whether necessary
or not, but fortunately there are not
many such.
We are very apt to judge the world by
the people we know, and my father and
brothers always try to help us and make the
work as easy and pleasant as possible, and
/ don't suppose they are different from all
other men.
My whole life has been spent on the farm
and there are very few things that a farm
ers daughter has to do round the house
Though | never worked OUT that | can't
do, but L think il would be just wrong
for mo to work till | was as ill and cross
as q bear as it would be for me to sit all
day with a novel in my hand, leaving every
thing (even the cooking) for the men to do
when they came home from the field.
If / were a man, | had much rather my
wife would do just what she could without
oyer-taXing her strength and be pleasant
when came home, than for her to do twice
the work. be cross and ill and nagging me
about something all the time / was IN the
house.
Sometimes it is necessary for every mem,
Der of the family to work as nard
possible TO make a living am NOT
speaking Of them. | am speaking OF the
wives OF Well-to.do farmers VINO are ape
and willing to hire servants, but can't get
them and instead of doing just what Is
obliged To be done they (the women) do
what it would take two servants to 90,
and seem TO feel like they are martyrs and
when urged to rest declare that they lave
no time to rest. l believe some people like
to be martyrs anyway. When woman has
worked till every nerve IS IN
culver she Is not to Diane
il ne is, cross and unpleasant.

ave the sisters Il remedy for ingrowlnG toe

aged with my failure and working with it
