WHERE WOMAN RULES.
The Home Should lie tho Center from
which All Things Radlate.

The Home Should Be tho Center from
which All Things Radlate.
The mission of woman is to make the
whole world homelike. While man
commands the existing age, It is woman
who commands the future, and there is,
therefore, nothing more vital than that
our homes should become centers OF
art and beauty, fit to cradle the coming
age. The first definite relationship of
humankind was mother and child. Tho
primitive human mother followed the
example of the animal mother in try
ing TO preserve tho life of her offspring.
Her duties were ever at home, looking
after the children and the comfort OF
the family.
But in the course Of evolution tho
home has come to mean much more
than a mere place of shelter. II 1--WE
read evolution backward wo see how
the inventions which have been made
for the needs of woman, in her capacity
as mother of the race, are being used
to administer to the comforts of man
kind at large. That housekeeping,
under present conditions, is largely.
considered burden, Is due to the mis-
conception existing as to the needs OF
the household. 1t is popular fallacy
that any woman, simply because she Is
woman, is instlnctively qualified to
look after the home, do the cooking
and sewing, care for her baby and
meet her husband with smile. This
is a mistake only too common, and one
which many learn when too late. The
husband turns the key in the door of
his workshop when his days work is
done; not so the wife. Her labor and
watchfulness are constant; besides, she,
too, often takes upon herself manifold
duties that should be shared by other
members of the family. Every mem
Der of the home bears an important and
essential relation to the whole, and
none may shirlS duty without en-
dangering the household harmony.
Sons no less than daughters should be
brought into close relationship with
the practical duties and responsibilities
indispensable in homo life, while the
daughters should not live to blame an
over-indulgent mother for her mistaken
kindnesses. All duty and right of obli-
7 cation come from good itself and the
idea of order. The home is the center
from which all things radiate. Boston

corted Jane to the carriage. What
would Jane and John do?
"Wall, Jane" said Mr.. Gates, heartily;
glad we've come. Step right in on the
front seat with Marthy and me-" Then,
with a fast-beating heart, to let her
know who was in the back seat, he
called out: "Now, John, I'll take care
of Jane, an leave you to take care Of
your wife an baby" -
They felt Jane suddenly start and
then grow rigid, and then felt more and
more sure, as the miserable time passed
on, that she could never forgive them
for their good-intentioned deception.
She would not speak one word on the
way home, but sat upright and motion
less. The Others talked to keep up
appearances" but strange wall OF ice
seemed to have frozen up between each
one there.
Tom and Susy met them ut the door,
filled with mingled humor and appre.
hension. They were too young and in
experienced and thoughtless to feel
the tragedy in the scene before them.
Their bright, inquisitive, laughing faces
filled the lonely, middle-aged woman's
heart with new bitterness. Then, when
they entered the warm room, everybody
crowded around the baby and Johns
pretty young wife. They tried to in
clude Aunt Jane in the brightness, but
she kept herself persistently aloof. She
wouldn't even take off her hat and cloak,
moi wait to warm her hands. but march,
ing straight up to Mrs. Gates, said:
''Mar tha, please tell me which room Tn
to nave" She added, sternly: "I'H
never, never forgive you, Martha
Gates!" r
Poor Mrs. Gates showed her the room
and left her. Then she went into the
kitchen. 'Bijah was there alone. ooh;
Marthy, Marthy," he said, II wouldn't
have had this happen for the world"
"She's a-goin' off on the six O'Clock
train in the mornin'," half sobbed his
wife, IAN she won't eat no supper nor
breakfast, an she says she'll never for
give me. Oh, 'Bijah, / did it all for TIE
bestl Surely, God'll help us out. Ito
alwuz did before when we did the best
we could"
1t was only about six o'clock in the
evening when they reached home from
the train. The day had been very mild
and the heavy snow OF the day before
had rapidly disappeared in the warm
sunshine. Suddenly, however, keen

SYSTEM IN HoUsEWoRk.
A Good Thing Provided 1t Does Not d.
generate Into Idolatry.

Good Thing ProVided lt docs MOI DC
generate Into Idolatry.
One must confess to fellow feeling
for the little girl who did not like to
visit where they always had times for
things, and yet that it is very desir-
able to have system in the household
goes without saying. But no wise
housekeeper will make system q
F. Moloch to which the comfort and con-
venience of the whole family must be
sacrificed.
An experienced housekeeper knows
that it is impossible to regulate house
hold affairs by a set of fixed rules
without seriously interfering with the
freedom and pleasure of home life.
The unexpected is always sure to hap
pen, and wise housewife will make
her system so flexible as to be able to
conform without serious friction to the
unlooked-for emergencies of social life,
and be prepared for frequent Interrupt
lions; else all the pleasure and sweet
ness of the little surprises Of home and
social life are spoiled by our inability
to adapt ourselves to the exigencies Of
daily life. The ability of the house
keeper to conform easily and cheerful
ly to any little change in her household
plans goes far to make or mar the COM
fort of the household.
1t is Il hard lesson for systematic
housekeeper to learn, this setting aside
of our own plans, and entering heart
lily and cheerfully into others that rise
up and confront one; but it must Of
necessity be learned If we desire tc
make our home all that true home
should be, and our home life pleasant
and comfortable.
The wise housewife will make some
provision for the unexpected, and have
something In reserve for the require
ments Of hospitality, 1t is always well
TO be forehanaed with our work, anG
keep things done in advance as much
as possible; for nothing SO tends tt
make housekeeper nervous and fret
full as an accumulation of houseworl
and unexpected Interruptions.
While no one need be the slave of sys
TEN, little wise forethought in pre-
pairing for emergencies will often say,
much care and perplexity. = Lizzi,
