III THE HoRE NEST
Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers
THE SLOVEN.

THE SLONEN.
She came to the breakfast table
in a torn, dirty dress, with half
Combed hair. The table was
without a cloth, the breakfast
badly cooked, The children were
dirty and quarrelsome, and she
saw them slip away to school
without attempting to wash their
faces or change their soiled aprons,
Her husband had hastily swallowed
a cup of coffee and left the house
without a word to wife or children.
She sat for a while gazing in
differently at the untidy table and
diSordcrly room, and then began
lazily to set things in order. She
dwadlcd over her work without
spirit or system, and the children
were home from school before the
beds had been touched, The two
Oldest girls hurried up stairs with
sCowIIng faces at her scolding
command to them to make up the
beds, Dinner was half an hour
late and her husband stormcd up
and down the untidy house, ate
an ill-Cookcd dinner in sullcn sill
enCe and hurried from the un-
pleasant home. The children
followed, scattering to the neigh
bors, to the barn, anywhere away
from home and mother. The
darkness drove the various men,
bers of the family into the house
again, but they came unwillingIy,
and slipped away to bed uncared
for, cross and wrctchcd with their
badly nourishcd bodies, and hearts
that hungercd for the peace and
comforts of home.
Do you think this is an cXag-
geratcd picture? 1t is not There
are homes just like this, and the |
dirt and disorder and discomfort
and hcartache lie at some woman's
door.
For the oVerworked wife and |
mother, for the invalid, for the |
ignorant who are trying to learn,
who are doing their level best to
bear a heavy burden, we offer pity,
sympathy and help, but for the
woman we have only
scorn.
There is no place in the uni
verse for a lazy woman, We will
care for the sick woman, we will
tolerate a cross woman-but what
shall we do to the lazy woman.
Because the home is the very cen
ter of life, the homckeeper must
be active, orderly and conscien-
tious-thcsc qualifications she
must have, and if she can add to
these, thrift, intelligence and ten
lerness, we find wherever she is,
that most blessed and beautiful
Of all earthly delights, a happy
home.

GO TO FARMING.

y good living is what compara-

nothing is more easy of accom-

there is pleasure in cuItivating

should young men hesitate to be
