a burden. to be on good terms win
the neighbors, near or far. without
condescending to pettiness, to be
member of a woman's club without
leaving the stockings undarned. to at
tend church without losing her temper
on Sunday morning, to post herself
upon current events without taking
the paper from her husband at the
breakfast table, to read new book
occasionally, to practise outdoor exer-

bodily trim, to dress herself tastefully
without forming colossal bills, to be-
stow sufficient attention upon her fg-

looks, and having done all this, to save
herself from nervous prostration by
the system and moderation she brings
to them all.
