But she should moi take i So seriously
rs one vonug woman who heard Pastor
WAGNER lecture and decided that tho simple
Bfe was for her. She went home on Thurs
dav sen, for the hou-ekeeper and said -hc
wa. going 70 the country where simpler
life wa- possible
Then the houSekeeper got The eighteen
seryants ready and the STATESMEN sent the
horses ami trans speeding to tho country
home of The family an hours ride outside
of'thc city The babies and their nurses,
tho children and their gove-ne-Ses the
>alets and the maids went hv train The
Young matron and her husband went mp in
ono Of the automobiles
Simple food vas served on Saturday
the day was spent in the open arr and in
reading and on Sunday there was church
Hut there was no dinner party that night
although a ne-ghboi wanted them TO come
There was plain dinner, and more Of the
children than Usual
On Monday husband weat'to town. as
llc did every morning for'thefnext three
days
The house. heated suddenly had not
been warm enough to prevent the children
from taking cold and 1t was dark and lone
some before the husband got home. On
FSriday the simple life had got. on he nerves
Of the chateainc until She w5r-'on tho point
of running back to town by hersen
As It was, she mac 10 wait uhtn AonoaS
But she iuvitRd UP IuteSh ler-'i7 LOT over
Sunday and went down with'iheih' on Mon
day morning
All that young woman does no"'io prove
how devoted she Is to the simple iie IS 10
have her parties a plain az POSSIBLE ana 10
give no dinners she asks her TRENDS ih
a horsebair sofa. They are a renfniscence
