blue Monday"

Have just finished reading little
article on the above titled subject and
have been wondering if such days befall
the women of Florida as we'll as the
North. l have been living in the State
about six years and in home where
there are five persons.
The question suggests itself,is it posi-
BILE to avoid blue Mondays in Florida
Speaking for myself, am almost ready
to say it can be avoided to a greater ex-
tent in this beautiful State than any
where | know of,
If our women will manage we'll, wash
day can go on just the same as any other.
In homes where it is possible, or within

SCRAPS of soap should never be wasted.
When they have become too small to
use they should be collected and saved.
If any fiannels are to be washed the
scraps should be taken out, cut in small
pieces and boiled to a jelly. This diluted
lather for washing wooden goods, which
are sure to be spoiled if soap be rubbed
on the fabric. Small pieces of toilet
soap may be melted up, with a small
quantity of milk, then formed into cakes
and laid away for use.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
THE LITTLE PIE DOUGH- BOY.

In the days OF my sweet childhood,
No painted gided toy
Fer thrilled my heart with pleasure like
A little Pie Dough Boy.
oh, the Pie Dough Boy.
The Pie Dough Boy.
He lives in the land of childhood's Joy,
And no one can coax him as mothers can
10 come from his house of the round pie pan.
Mother'd work the dough scraps over,
And roll 'em out all fat,
Then take knife and cut him out,
His pants and shoes and hat:
Then shed take some grains of coffee
And stick'em in for eyes.
When he was baked he puff up Just
Bout twice his natural size.
Oh, the Pie Dough Boy
And when mother tn ought he's done thro',
She'd kneel down like in pray'r,
And lift him like real, real babe,
And lay him down with care.
Then we youngsters jumped and shouted
Seemed like twas eating Joy,
When mother'd kiss and give us each
Little Pie Dough Boy.
Oh, the Pie Dough Boy,
The Pie Dough Boy,
He lives in the land of childhood's Joy,
And no one can coax him as mothers can

est labor the wife is confronted with.
If q woman manages her household
Systematically, in any small degree, she
can save from her weekly expenses
enough to secure the services of strong
negro woman, who is more capable of
lifting heavy tubs, etc. This saving of
her strength fits her more perfectly for
the greater and more important duties
devolving upon her, such as the rearing
of her little ones. Surely woman's po-
sition is one of great responsibility and
the work of washing should be taken off
her shoulders whenever it is possible to
do so. Listen to the description our
friend gives US of a blue Mond ~ WON

The boys and girls must get themselves

affairs invented for babyhood only, tc

Breakfast is hastily put on the table
that is, such as there was time to pre-.
pare-and it is understood that dinner
will be worse. We recall boy who
said that mother always had boiled
dinner on Monday, so [ never went

washing is the thing that must be first
on the list. Other work must wait.
The kitchen is soon filed with tubs,
pals, boiler, clothes basket, etc. The
water on the stove begins to steam, and
soon mother begins to rub, rub and it

to give one serious fit of discomfort if
not dlstemper. This lasts at least half
day, and sometimes longer. When it
is through with the tired worker feels
utterly incapable of performing the
duties which await her. But she must
keep at 1t.
This method of procedure is not only
a real injury to the mother, but an in
justice to the rest of the family. Any
mother owes it to herself and to her
children to keep herself in the best pos
sible mental and physical health. The
demands upon her time, strength, and
nerves are so many that she should con-
serve them by some means.

not so to be. Save strength for greater

Of Miss Madeline Shirley's trial before

legal lights figured. 1t was one of the
most remarkable instances OF court ex-

great opportunities for effective stage
pictures Miss Shirley. who is an opera
bOuffe singer and burlesque artist was
sued by theatrical shoemaker for somO
high boots, slippers and other footgear
which she had ordered when she was
playing Robinson CrusOe" In Philadel
phia- She refused TO pay the bill ON the
ground that the boots did not fit. and
she put them on in court before Judge
Stiner.
The judge ia nearsighted and is n
man of great sincerity and earnestness
The only question before him was wheth-
er the boots fitted or not, and as the
burlesque actress pulled them ON and
thrust her foot out for the judges opin-
ion he lowered about her, felt of the
toes Of the boots, noted where they were
too small OF too large around the calf Of
the leg and entered into the spirit Of the
occasion with such earnestness that tine
entire courtroom was thrown into
amazement. Miss Shirley capped the
climax by pulling on pair Of tights in
court, and, rolling them down showed
the judge and lawyers how she had &C
improvise pair of Robinson Crusoe'
boots so as to be able TO play her part
successfully. As the judge knelt on the
floor before the burlesque actress and
critically examined the tights and the
