A WoMAN's PROBLEMS.

When supper thintl are cleared away,
Again her mind is worried,
For then she thinks Of breakfast time,
When meals are often hurried.
She ponders DER 1t long until
The question Is decided,
Then bustles round till she makes sure
That everything's provided.
That "woman's work Is never DONE
Has often been disputed,
But that she's worried Is fact,
Aud cannot be refuted.
The worry over what to eatl
Is greatest OF these questions.
And glad she'd be II some one else
Would make the mealssuggestions.

When breakfast things are cleared away,
The same ole problems rising,
For she again sits down to think
or something appetizlng.
The dinner she 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 is upper
Is lust the same with one word changed
"What can get for supper?'
She wants to give them something new,
And long Is meditation,
Till choice Is made, and then begins
