Notes of Her Progress

~ ence of mind on body was cited
~ to me lately. There is a lady
who has had many troubles in
the course of long life and, like many
of our sex, she has made the most Of
them. Her husband broke her heart,
killed long since every spark of affec-
ton for him, though she still tolerated
him around. Her children turned out
badly, too, and her health was wretched
all through her earlier years. There
were years when she had to support
her whole family, husband and all. She
was, however, endowed with remarka
BILE commercial ability and was able to
feed, house and clothe them all. Still
her life in those years was bitter, bit
ter, with nothing that the old time wo-
man was taught to believe was every
thing to females" as we used to be
called. Those dark days are now over
for the lady l am telling you of. The
wheel of fortune turned and brought
her beautiful home, with hired people
TO work for her. The domestic happi-
ness she believed in in her early mar
ried life is denied her, it is true, bur
y
makes life worth living and an intellec-
tual resourceful mind besides. She
ought to be happy, and she did AT
length learn to be measurably so as the
troubled past disappeared farther and
farther in the background. But my
lady is one of those who keep nothing
to themselves They must turn them
selves inside out to every friend. She
met one day an acquaintance who
seemed sympathetic and poured out the
whole black story of her sorrows. AS
she did so it became so vivid to her
mind that she seemed to be living it
over again--the sorrow, the shame, the
despair. 1t had all happened twenty
years before. yet next morning my lady
was i'll in bed. unable to rise The re-
counting of her troubles had really
thrown her into downright illness that
lasted a considerable time. Now, don't
tell your troubles to anybody If you
want to keep your health. Don't even
think of them yourself. Put them
wholly out Of your mind and think of
something else, something bright and
cheerful.
In Boston a unique enterprise has
been started by Christine Brown, Abby
Morton Diaz and others. An organiZa-
ton called the Emerson Union For
Ideal Culture has opened classes whose
members will be educated to evolve the
true Emersonian spirit. This means,
according to the promoters of the I'M
ion, a development of the highest ethic-
al, aesthetic, spiritual and physical ca
liabilities of the human being. An i'm
portant part of the teachings will be on
the subject of Healing and Harmony
Through Music" which the Emerso-
MAN folk advocate. People outside of
Boston may belong to the organization.
The British Woman's Emigration as
ISOLATION is doing great good in sending
poor English working girls to Canada
to grow up with the country. In north
west Canada, as In all the happy new
countries. the hired girl is somebody
treated usually as a member of the
family. From April to the middle of
October parties of respectable girls
sail from England to Canada in charge
of a matron who looks after them on
the voyage. In Canada they are on
their arrival forwarded to good homes
already waiting for them. There they
are respectfully treated and get good
wages Many a girl is thus saved from
starvation and worse in British cities.
@S
Common civility in a family and
among acquaintance is not a bad
thing. Did you ever consider that when
you fatty contradict another you are
as a matter of fact calling that person
