A woMAN's WORK.

When breakfast things are cleared away,
The same old problems rising.
For she again sits down to think
OF something appetizing.
The dinner che must soon prepare
Or give the cook directions,
And great Is the relief she feels
When she has made selections.
When dinner things are cleared away,
The problem that IL upper
Is ju.t the same. with one word changed,
''What can get FOR support"
She wants to give them something uer,
And long Is meditation
Till choice Is made, and then begins
The work OF preparation.
When supper things are cleared away,
Again her mind is worried,
Tor then she thinks OF breakfast time.
When meals are often hurried.
She ponders o'cr it long until
The question is decided,
Then bustles round till she makes sure
hat eyerythins's provided.
That "woman's work IS neTvr done''
Has often been disputed,
B,.l hat she's worried Is fact
Aad cannot oc 1,iutcd.
The worry over what to eat
Is greatest OF these questionsS
And glad she'd be IL some one else
Would make the meal suggestions.
