in this connection. know that it is
not all of the country women who can
idle and stroll among the flowers in
the morning. is it all of the city
ladies who can afford to haunt their
fincry at the clubs Ger nights. While,
perhaps, the prominent club women"
rcvel amid the whirr of tho club room,
thouands Of that same city do not
revel amid that whirr, nor could they
enter there. Other thousands of that
same city have no desire to revel amid

the idea that prominent club women"
would impress for the country women
over whom they are so much exercised.
There is not city that could be nam

So / say those who have asked for
me to reply to questions upon these
lines that I honestly believe that the
easiest opportunity, the hsppiest life
and the best results are to those who
are satisfied with country life-dis-
satisfy them and this would not
be so, nor would the world be better.
So | say to the prominent club vo-
men" and TO all who have asked my
expression, save your pity and store
up your energy for some other line.
Perhaps l would BIS justified in advis.
ing you to save both this pity ard this
energy for the poor little children
whom you leave to the care of SER
wants that you may pursue your bent
in the field" that you think lies in
this connection. 1t is these children
those neglected of mother attention
who need all your pity. and it is
they who will curse the world if it is
cursed. Surely it will not be those
who sleep with their little heads
upon mothers arm that will bring
you or or the world the greatest
harm,
But I rather tell Of pretty sights.
