Nothing on earth is more beloved, |

There Is no need tospur the Ameri-
eAn housewife to greater exertions on
sehalf OF her family. What she needs
3 curb to restrain her often over
ambitious. oyerstrained sense OF duty.
ehe aims for too great perfection in
some lines, and usually succeeds nd
nirably In her intent. But at what
\ cost; with what friction OF
nerves; with what a waste Of vital
Iorce. -.
We believe there would be more
oragality In the homes II men would
give their wives reasonable amount
u money Tor household expenses, and
n them have all they can save QUE
q Il for their ownuse; and men,
Go. would be better off than In the
uhmethodical and haphaZard way in
Uhlch most homes are run. Women
would be more apt 10 studykitchen
etonomy II they could see reward
ahead, A nation Of thrifty men can
not be born Of thriftless mothers.
Women have need 10 know more Of
business. and think more OF means

Girls, what are you doing to help
pour mothers? There are many
h0useholds where the older girls
right assume large share Of the
burdens OF housekeeping and tighten
b many ways the labor of the over
taxed mothers. II seems as II the
young girls OF the present day are
almost too much absorbed in becom-
ing accomplished parlor ornaments to
arscend to anything so mental as
cleaning up a room, making beds and
arranging table, and yet what more
Beful knowledge could be attained
Or what accomplishment could be SO
admired in any girl as the desire and
willingness to tighten poor moth
6's cares and tolls? Many young
woman sits and reads Tennyson, or
spen hours at her piano or organ
