THE
BURMESE WOMAN.

The Burmese woman rs clever, witty,
well informed, one of the shrewdest OF
business persons. usually IN excellent
h~ousekeeper, as we'll as a good merchant.
Her two errors seem TO be: First, in mar
rying John Burman, who is generally
lazy and unworthy of her: n second,
In submitting to the medical tomfoolery
that the Burmese, for all their intelli-
gence, still practise. I might d for
a third, II one more be needed, the smok-
ing of the Burmese cigarette. which tends
to twist out of shape her handsome
mouth.
This cigarette, by the way, is a mon
strous thing, often eighteen Inches in
length and an inch and a quarter in diam
eter.
The Burmese woman not only manages
all the material interests of her house,
hold, but she keeps the Buddhist faith
intact. Without her influence 1t may
be doubted il John Burman would care
very much. He is too indolent and too
fond of his ease in smooth water. But
the women are strict in their perform
ance of religious duties; you can see them
at all hours praying in the shrines where
not often you see the men. II this theory
about the women is correct. 1t Is wonder
full testimony TO their strength of mind,
for Buddhism in Burma Is rock-ribbed
and apparently u~nassailable, and then. in
the last analysis, it must be to the
women that we owe the beautiful pagodos,
the excellent monasteries and the gemlike
shrines that dot this pleasant country

THE DAYS WORK.

The woman who does her own work,
day in and day out, and rushes to avoid
hurry and come to the table In a proper
state of mind and body to partake of the
meal which she has prepared should all
low one hour for preparing dinner and
three-quarters OF an hour for the other
meals Of the day. according to Janet M.
Hill, an authority on domestic matters.
Then without undue haste sometimes, not
always) the dishes used in preparing the
meal can be washed While the meal Is be-
ing prepared and the after-meal work
need not be dreaded.
Know what you are going to do before
you enter the kitchen, then go straight
to the mark without dallying. Fuel and
precious time are often wasted while one
is trying TO make up her mind what she
will do. Then, worn out In trying to find
something easy to make, calling for moth
ing tangible in the way of ingredients and
little cooking. the matter is given up and
the grocer is telephoned to bring some
thing in the inevitable paper bag, There
is no satisfaction in this kind OF house,
keeping. Housekeeping is a business to be
conducted in summer and In winter. To he
always equal to it take a holiday often
and give the same to those in your en-
ploy. Do not ~stagnate. Initiate new
projects in your business. Rejoice in 1t.

up your interest.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
AT Y. w. C. A. RALLIES

No end of enthusiasm was displayt6-
by the members of the Young Wont-
en's Christian Association at two cant
paign rallies, held last night. one for
the followers of the "Red Roses" in
the central building, II East Park
street, and another for the white
Rose followers. at the parlors of the
First Presbyterian Church. The War
of the Roses, as the membership cam
raign is called, is indeed a merry war,
the good-natured rivalry or the adj
herents of both sides resulting in a
victory of one member for the white
roses at the present date. The num-
Der credited TO tho white roses is 274.
and to the red roses 273 making a
total in all of 1,105 members.
The rally consisted of singing CAM
paign songs, some of them original,
and others revised TO suit the
occasion to the Juno of popular
college songs. Miss Mary s..
Dunn. the national secretary; Miss
Cara May Adams. the general secre-
tary of the local association; Miss
Helen Davis and Miss Esther Gray, both
State secretaries, made short addresses
at both places, giving humorous o.
periences of their methods of secur-
ing members.
A final rally will be held about De-
cember 10, when 1t is expected to
bring the campaign to a close. Every
effort is being made 20 bring the mem
bership up to 1900 members at the
time Of the close, and nothing is be-
ing left undone to bring about this
result.
The result of the sale of pins on
Day" held last Wednesday, Will
be made known in a few days.

WALKING AS AN EXERCISE

There is hardly an instance of a
long-Iived man who has not been for
the best part of his life a brisk walker,
and for some reason or other has had
to take exercise pretty well every day.
Riding is all very well, and so are
other exercises, but there is nothing
like a good walk, because it stimulates
the blood and the muscles, and neces-
states being in the open air.
If those who complain of being stout
would only think Of this, and lever
omit a daily constitutional, they would
be amply rewarded. 1t will keep them
young. and their figures presentable.
1t is so simple a remedy that no one
needs it; sitting about in the open air
is all very well and is far better than
sitting in the house, but 1t does not
keep you in good health.
1t is quite another thing to over
fatigue oneself. There is nothing bet
ter than to get into a healthy %perspira-
tion by walking. 1t is just like drink
ing a glass of cold water in the morn
ing: 1t is 50 simple no one believes it.
This may not suit everybody, but
those it does suit it will keep In health,
