conscious on the fool with the telephone

came her. If woman were thoroughly
robust, without ache or pain, she could
not keep this work up without under
mining her health. What shall be said

who suffer from headache, backache,

BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS.
That expressive saying not only sug-
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When a woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social
pleasures, or in the service of church or
charity, she is rapidly fastening to the
end of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home. Young matrons who are not
dancing any more, church workers who
are no more active these have not step
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of lack of strength.
