Her Strong Point.

Her Strong Point.
She has no dog to fondle, :.
She has no cat to pet;
She does not own parrot,
She leads no social set;
She writes no learned papers
To read where women meet,
But she can get up dishes
Her husband likes to eat,
And they are saving money
And find that life 10 sweet.

SWAEPING.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il have just read
K Htucklenue's letter and feel that |
must stop in my hurry to say a word
IN reply TO her. She says that "a very
wise little manager taught me her
method of sweeping which is an ex-
cellent way-her idea was to sweep
less." B 1t in sweeping less-in fact,
once a week, she says We r to use
clean water, a clean broom, G 10 D IsT,
Pearline, and extra work. Nov, l
think it less trouble to sweep every
day, in fact, several times a day, than
to utterly EXHAUST ones strength ia
once a week sweeping; besides, it
seems to me go much nor clearly.
/ wonder what she would say to US
who cannot afford carpets for every
room; how are we to keep the bare
floors clean unless we sweep themI
And where are we to put our little PEG
pie with their doll clothes, toys, and
hundreds OF other trash producing play
th'ngs3 Must we send them to the
barn or out into the yard, where it is
too cold for eomforrI By so doing we
invite colds, Group, sore throat and a
probable doctor bill.
l suspect that there are no bright
faces, tlreIess or restless little feet and
ANXIOUS eyes appealing to mother
many times each day for love, sympa-
thy and guidance in her home or she
would know how impossible her
method seems to US who are mothers.

HIS IDzAL WOMAN.

Not so Much of an Angel as a Sympa-
thetic. AII-uivlne, AII-Forgiving nu-
man
Man has a number of fixed, oil
fashioned notions ABOUT the ideal wo
nan which are quite apart from que
tlons Of comOlexton and Dress" write.
Carrie E, Garrett in the February
Woman's Home Companion.
Tine sober truth is that while men
may seek diversion with the more
SNOWY, ftppant type of girl, and are
often caught by mere glitter, they
have an ideal far, far above this cheap
type which is imperishable. A mar
does not pIcturea completely limp and
characterless creature as his soul's
ideal, however sweet Yet the woman
as sne appears IN his dreams is not too
clever. 1t 10 a pleasure to nam to be a
little superior TO his mate-to De looked
I up to'-and as the true woman desires
TO look up it is clear that Natures
arrangements in these matters are not
without CesIgn TIE most charming
woman of all is she who has the con
summate wit TO seem to look up when
really she stands on a level with tie
man who loves her, or perchance q lIE
Gle above him.
"Oae thing imp9rativaly demanded
in the make up Of the ideal woman Is
sympatby-thaT all divine, all forgiv
ing quahGy which makes the whole
word akin. sympathy Is one of the
prime factors of cnarm. So il humor.
A man is teartully lonesome when his
wife can Ut see his jokes. She could
hardly Offer him a more deadly affront
than 10 laugh IN the wrong place at
one Of hIs pet stories. The ideal wo
man is rellgIous-has the wise, sweet,
old fashioned notions about right and
wrong. A man is quite capable Of
making m 9rry over his wife's pies
OF conscience, but l think he would be
rather disappointed if she had no scru
ples-it in his worldly way she was
guided chiefly by eXpedience. He may
not say many prayers himself, but ne
likes to know that his children pray a.
their mothers knee. Perhaps he
10 metimes reflects that the nightly pc
tltlon from innocent lips, 'GJd bless
father may not be q lite empty o,
