A Sense OF Proportion.


There is a well-known adage TO the
effect that anything that is worth do
ing at all. is worth doing WE'LL
That this is well and wisely said. no
body will deny, but like many Of the
good old sayings" IT is capable Of
over-expression.
The whole thing resolves itself into
a sense of proportion. Where is the
merit in giving as much care and time
to the sweeping Of a back porch, as
to the making Of fancy cake or the
preparing of a paper for the club?
Why take as much pains in ironing
the dish-towels as the table-linen? Yet
many housewives do this, and count 1t
a virtue to slack nothing" This ar
CUES bad perspective. and this lack
Of a sense of proportion is, possibly,
what Charles Ferguson means when
he writes of the wonderful dramatic
foreshortening of woman's mind"
Now, Mr.. Ferguson is not carping at
the sex-not even when he mentions
the "neurosity and exaggeration" of
the "woman's movement" His whole
attitude shows an admiring sympathy
for which all women must thank him.
But this nervous, misdirected ener-
gy, this lack of knowledge of values,
in work as in all things, is a fault
which the sex must cure before their
proper sphere is rightly filed.
To apply this to the small things of
life-let us neglect some household de-
tails for the sake of the hig things. A
smile over the teacups. for instance. is
big thing"

filed by a woman-the "Popess

Fulda, who lived about l040-1080,
and who, in his chronicle, says that
when Leo w. died, in 8S3, he was

four days, she in turn being sue
