man; nothing is more senseless than to be one. The woman who lives In a whirl, who has no time for anything. Is the woman without method. She does not realize the advantage of choosing the most important things for immediate performance and allowing the others to wait. She does not ap- preciate the value of allowing her sub ordinates to do the menial work which tires her so in order that she may have time for the more important things that require education and brain.

An oft Overlooked Axiom.

No one can be everybody and every thing and not break down. No one in this life can possibly see that every thing is done perfectly; there have to be short cuts and eyes obligingly closed to imperfections. It Is the total which counts at the end of ones life, not the detail, and I think if the fussy, over- worked female wreck would realize this things would go better with her and her friends.
 What Is the good of a woman's ac- complaining the work of an entire fam fly if by so doing and refusing to take needed rest she becomes a helpless in- valid, a burden on that family7
 Women in the country especially work under inconvenient conditions that no man would stand. They fetch and carry a great deal more than would be necessary if they systematized things.
 Just take the mater of ironing day, for instance. Half the backache would be done away with if the ironing board were only raised to comfortable height by putting blocks under the ta- ble. And then take the simple expedi- ent of having the spice closet directly over the pastry table and the pans most used hung conveniently around the stove, shelves one has to strain to reach, closets one has to stoop to open all these are nerve racking and count in the long run.
