There is very little drunkenness or

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

our family IS rather small remarked
a man who had just offered condolences
TO a friend in mourning, but we have a
fine crop Of country cousins, he finished
triumphantly, When l got a chance 1
took a look at the man who seemed to
have a pride in possessions which the
average prosperous family seeks to hide
as far in the background as possible.
This man talked a good deal about
those country cousins who were little
queer in English. but honest all through.
They had worked too hard 10 spare much
time for book education. yet with all
their toll and thrift they had never seen
time when they had 800 laid aside.
But they had good hearts, perfect health
and contentment. and he was proud Of
them, he said, and / guess he meant it,
If that man should die and leave any
thing worth while I feel sure that the
splendid crop Of country cousins would
not be forgotten.
Most families have poor branches that
would find life a deal peasanter if the
overflow from the prosperous homes was
turned in their direction. Perhaps there
is a talented child whose gifts are going
to waste for lack of money There is al
ways room for discarded furniture and
clothing, always an opportunity to leave
a bright spot in a dull life by an invita-
ton for a short visit BUT the overflow
goes somewhere else and the prosperous
members Of a family try 10 forget that
they have less fortunate relations by
blood.
I know family Of children that never
knew the experience Of a new dress, al
though each and every one was always
we'll dressed The mother had a rich
aunt who collected the discarded clothing
from the families of her sons and daugh-
ters and sent Il, in huge boxes, twice a
year. The mother Of the poor branch Of
the family was clever with her needle
and good materials were easily converted
into pretty garments, relieving the family
Of at least one hard strain I know sew
ersl instances where timely aid by the
hand Of wealth relieves the hard strain
that IS a TOO frequent visitor in the home
of the poor.
The item Of table linen alone is some
thing to be reckoned with, as we all
know. In homes where everything is
kept up 10 a high standard linen is dis
