Let the Housewife Have Rest.

Let the Housewife Have Rest.
Have you ever noticed the way an
ant works? Of course they accom-
plish what they set out to do, but, dear
me. it seems like such a distracted"
way to do things First, every ant
I've ever noticed picked up something
to carry around, about four times lar
ger than itself! In comparison about
as easy to handle, l imagine, as it
would be for you or l to tote around
a rail-and then it sets off to carry
it, | suppose, to it's hOme-nobody
knows what for-but probably either
to put in the attic or to plant out In
the front yard-certainly not to eat.
Well then, without looking a step
ahead the first thing you know, it
has bumped right into big pebble!
Of course it travels round the Obstruc-
ton. And then before it has had time
to take heart it has run across
yawning ravine! 1t looks to us only
like a spade cut, but to that ant it's
simply awful! If it had only stopped
to look around a bit, it would have
seen a very nice short path which
altogether avoided the chasm-and IL
no sooner skirts that dreadful and perl
lOus brink than it is confronted with
fresh obstacles-a chip, leaf, now
some water, and, goodness knows what
else. until you think if an ant could
faint it would! l wonder why they
don't all die of nervous prostration
long before they have the chance for
a rest in the winter Poor things!
And that's just the way some women
work! l don't say they don't do
lot, but, oh! I know they're not going
to rest a whole season at the end OF
every year. 1t. is going to keep right
on. with not even Sunday to look for
ward to as an absolute day OF rest, Tor
meals must be prepared and dishes
washed that day.
Now, | know one family, where the
work is so divided on Sunday that all
rest equally. Mother cooks as usual,
because she's the only one who knows
how, so father and the boys do the
dishes. They proposed it themselves
and had mother show them just now
she liked them done, where to put all
the things, and make the house tidy
afterWard- you don't know now
much nicer it made it all around! DO
you know, mother actually made them
some mems aprOns-With a string TO
slip over their heads-sO they wouldn't
spoil their best clothes. And it's lovely
to see her face while she enjoys the
respite of just one day-when she
doesn't have to wash dishes. Father
and the boys say it is no trick at all
to wash dishes, and mother thinks
they are just about the incest men
folks she knows. Yet l have known
her to be pretty snappy when things
went on for her just the same as every
other day.
Next time l am going to begin a
series of articles on the work OF
house Systematically carried out, and
l hope they will be helpful. In the
meantime I want you all to feel that
| shall be delighted for any hints from
you-if you know of any ways to make
homework more agreeable, or ii you
want tt ask any questitns | shall be
glad to answer through The Ranch
columns.

hope for an armistice pending the
meeting of the peace plenipotentia-
ries seems to rest with President
Roosevelt. and even that is consider

step in this direction. The impression

her strategic position, which despite
official advices from the front is re-
