What "Wife" Means.

Says Ruskin: "What do you think
the beautiful word wife comes from?"
1t is the great word in which the Eng
lish and Latin languages conquered the
French and Greek. l hope the French
will some day get word for it instead
of that of femme. But what do you
think it comes from? The great value
of the Saxon words is that they mean
something. Wife means ''weaver."
You must either be housewives or
house-moths, remember that. In the
deep sense, you must either weave
mems fortunes and embroider them, or
feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever q true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may be
over her head, the glow-worm in the
nights cold grass may be the fire at her
feet, but home is where she is, and for
a noble woman it stretches far around
her-better than houses ceiled with
cedar or painted with vermillion, shed.
ding it's quiet light for those who else
are homeless. This, l believe, is the
woman's true place and power"
