enough to work she can best
serve her family as 4 general
superintendent directing the
household affairs with the wis.
dom she has acquired by exper-
fence, teaching the children to
be industrious, systematic,
Clearly, thorough and to put
thought and purpose into their
work.
With so many labor-savtng
appliances we ought to have
better homes But if the pres
sure is diminished at one point
1T is increased at another, so
that we live under a great
stress-nOt the same but as
gredt-as did our mothers and
grandmotbers who took the raw
material and clothed their fam
lilies. 1t is all our own fault.
There is no law except those we
make ourselves, compelling us.
to follow the dictates of GUS
tom, We could have more time,
for self.culture and for helping
those less fortunate than our.
selves if we were content to
live simple life.
A good definition of SIMPLE
living is justice TO yourself. No
woman can be just to herself
and manage her home to please
others who have not espoused a
simple life. 1t will take some
thing of the martyr to ignore
the customs and fashions of the
day; and 1 suspect the strong
est opposition will come from
within our own homes because
we have not taught our chill
dren to be independent, to think
and to act for themselves. By
example if not by precept, we
say do as others do. If l were
called upon to express in one
word what l believe to be the
leading characteristic of the
majority of women, | should
not hesitate to choose the word
weakness And l could dis
cover an autidote Cor !, l should
be the happlest woman in Amer
lea, and would distribute it
without money and without
price; but l doubt if we would
have strength enough to swal-
low it. I assure you it gives
me no pleasure to make that
statement, for whatever touches
any other woman, be she white,
brown or black, touches me.
When little Maria, that bundle
of raw material that | am try
ing to weave into a strong and
independent character, doubles
up her fist and strikes me a
blow, as she often does tor in.

which l am reproviug her she

TESS that 1 have had some exper-

in the training of your boys
think of the next woman. She
will be only your daughter-in-
law but the happiness of your
boy will be closely linked with
the happiness of his wife.
I think that boys should at
least have the care of their own
rooms (though they need not
stop there), no matter how
many chamber maids are kept.

Vermont as a Field for Savings Bank
investments.

The best evidence that a thing can
be done is the fact that somebody does
1t. The fact that tbe Hyde Park Saw

for investing its funds in Vermont,
proves the failacy of the theory that
banks must send their money out
west. The Windsor Journal says
along this line:

when the waiter entered he was horri-

inform the proprietor. Before they
returned to the room the man who

might have been expected that some
day he would hang himself in real

He died of most commonplace

earning a considerable fortune on the

of how he produced the extraordinary

his body to discover his secret, but
