A Modern Meditation.

Idle not for idleness is the mother
Of all sins.
Neither dawdle nor dilly-dally; for
the dawdler groweth weary and accom-
plisheth naught.
Delay not, nor postpone; for more
crimes are due to postponement than
TO deliberate intention.
Hesitate not an hour IN perform
ing thy tasks; for the only way to get
a thing done is to do it now.
Glover not, nor crouch; for 1t Is a
fearful crime to make other people I'M
happy.
Never indulge myself in despair; for
there is no surer way to miss all the
good things that are coming to you.
Neither indulge in vain RETROSPECT
ton: for what is done is done forever
and the only wise thing is to forget it.
Blame not thyself nor any other per-
son too much; for there are laws
stronger than any of us that govern the
universe.
Make hope and industry thy habits
for by these two practices shall man
reach the highest place--even content
ment.

Edward Ev rett Hale tells letter
writers to know what they want 20
say, TO say II. TO use their own lz--
guage, using short words rather than
long, with as few words as possible.
and TO leave out all the fine passages.
That Is no doubt good advice, but IL
would seem TO apply more particularly
to those who write letters on a type
writer. Surely the fine passages
need not be left ont OF friendly let

class, but are found in all classes, from
that OF the woman who scrubs floors to
that Of the woman who marries title.
That woman can be wage Garner
and at the same time care for her home
is possible. Mrs. Nathan says, ana
there are many cases In which 1t Is
eminently satisfactory to have man
and his wife both wage earners. Mrs.
Nathan gives the following two as the
principal reasons why married women
are wage earners: Men waste so
much money in smoking, gambling and
drinking that they have none left for
family expenses. Many women have
minds superior to their husbands and
can earn more In that case it is the
woman's plain duty--and should be her
pleasure-to earn whatever her talents
will bring"

The Perfect Hostess.

You know her as soon as you step
over the sill.
She has diffused an atmosphere of
welcome over the entire house.
You feel at home in every room. even
though left alone, says the Cooking
Club Magazine.
And you are left alone sometimes.
For the perfect hostess doesn't dog
your footsteps every minute.
She knows that you will want TO
write letters, and nap and read.
She gives you the house to entertain
yourself in and you can have her, too,
whenever you want her.
She does not wear you out with too
many entertainments or too many per-
sons.
She doesn't make you feel that
you've got TO "pay for yor keep" by
doing chores.
Neither does she refuse to let you
help her, If she sees it would make you
happiest.
She gives you the impression it's a
Joy just to have you in the house.
And you always want TO see her
again.
