1t is quite evident that the time is ripe
for American housewives to learn easier
methods of living and entertaining. 1t is
predicted. in spite Of our wonderful mod
ern improvements and the independence
Of our twentieth century women. that the
simplicity and home loving attributes Of
our Puritan foremothers must modify
the complexity of modern requirements.
Why not select the best Of everything our
grandmothers did and the best of every
thing our foreign neighbors do and fit
them in our progressive environment?
The logical housewife who has OBJ
served as she Travelled will ask herself
the reason why she should adopt any of
these things. The result will be sue
cessful combination of old time elegance
with modern luxury and the application
of foreign ideas to American common
sense. For instance. she may begin

PARTING.


Overhead great aurora,
Flashing all among the stars,
From its wide arch in the northyard
Flinging w its opal bars
Round the dim lights Of the city,
Distant sound OF harp and song,
Sat we in the Swallowed garden
Speaking of our parting long,
Wondering Of the unknown future,
What for Us it held in store
Sweetest meeting like the present
Or farewell for eyermore;
Whether, with earth's lights around us,
We should clasp each others hand,
Or, beyond these narrow limits,
In yon vast mysterious land,
Spirit met with spirit, knit up
Threads Of life that broke below,
Telling in each others bosom
All the trouble and the woe,
Happy in the recollection
OF the fated hour we met,
Perfect love and peace succeeding
Every longing and regret
