Household Essentials.

To every housewife there comes days
when it is an impogsibility to accomplish
all that she would; says the editor Of
Good Housekeeping; Wnen some Of the
things she would gladly do, some that
she feels the necessity Of doing, some
that her housewifely sense of propriety
snrinks from putting over to another
day, have still to go undone for the time.
How shall she select the things that must
be accomplished, in distinction from
those which may be deferred? This is
not always an easy question to be an
swered, but writer upon the subject has
given these sensible thoughts, which are
worthy of thoughtful consideration: In
making such a choice a wise woman
naturally looks hrst to those matters
essential to the health Of the household;
no such matter can properly be neglected.
The refrigerator and the store-closets
must be kept faultlessly clean. A good
supply Of wholesome lood must be put
upon the table. The bedrooms and bed
ding must be thoroughly aired. 1t Is far
less essential that the parlor be busted, or
the windows be polished until they shine,
than that these matters of housesold hy-
giene be carefully attended to. 1t is pleas
ant to see the brass Of the fireplace pol
ished bright; but if they have become
oxidized by neglect no one in the house
is likely to suffer in health or comfort
in consequence. Jessie will be just as
happy and healthy a child if her white
pinafore is adorned with fewer frills, and
there will be less ironing and sewing to
be done.

No Rule Possible.
By Susan Hayes Ward.

By Susan Hayes Ward.
No hard and fast rules can be laid
down as to the length Of marriage en-
gagements. Jacob served seven years
for Rachel, and it semed to him but a
few days for the love he had to her; but
for most lovers seven years would seem
an eternity.
| remember the case Of country law
yer who would not, or could not, desert
his mother-an impossible place to take
a bride home to-and his engagement
lasted nearly thirty years. He married
after his mothers death, and their mar
ried life, though Snort, was ideally
happy; but patience and fidelity are not
common virtues. A flighty girl would
have weakened and fallen out by the
way when the road grew long-and good
riddance to her.
An engagement Of year or two Is
generally speaking, none too long. There
should be time enough to become thor
oughly conversant with each others eX-
cellences, defects and peculiarities.
Where the acquaintanceship is new, 1t is
well, in bucolic phrase, Ito summer and
winter" each other before marriage; but
when young people have grown up to-
gether and have known one another
from childhood, a shorter engagement
would be sufficient
AS a rule, it is better to marry young,
under the wise protection of 1.-The beau
tiful Goddess of Poverty" than to wait
through an engagement of ten or a
dozen years for the sake Of first acquir-
ing competency. 1t is folly for engaged
people to spend the best years of their
lives apart, each hardening into a sep
arate groove, in order to begin in social
position and luxury where their elders
leave off. Better marry early, establish
themselves as a household, the unit Of
civilization, in new community, share
privations together, and together gain
respect, if not social position, and COM
fort, if not luxury.

Just shelter for head and feet,
Crowded together, young and old,
Sickened by summers scOrching heat
Chilled by the winters cruel cold
Just a bit Of the sky so blue,
Seen from broken windOwpane,
Just wee sunbeam struggling through,
Shining a moment, gone again.
Just breath Of the springtime bright,
In flower pot, all cracked and brown,
Just a glimpse of the stars at night,
When the darkness comes drifting down.
Just a thought of the future life,
Just u thought of the silent past,
Work and WEAKNESS, worry and strife,
Just as long as the days shall last.

Odds and Ends for Women.

The true Filipino women are said to be
very interesting. Some Of them are quite
beautiful, having compilations Of dark
copper color with a tinge of red, their
hair is long and silky and their teeth
pearIy white. They carry their burdens
on their heads and as result their neck,
shoulders and arms are beautifully de-
veloped. AS a rule they are quite jolly
and full of fun, great lovers of music and
possessed of considerable artistic taste.
A cold water bath is said to be a splen-
did beauty bath, but to those who are
not able to stand it, it will be well to
know that bathing the face, neck and
arms daily with cold water will do won
ders for the complexion.
