Resolve to Do THINGS We'll.

Dear Young Wives of the Social Cor
ner: This is to beg of you to be really
interested in your housekeeping and
home making and to work to see how
well you can do things and not to get
through, so AS to do some inconse-
quentiaI thing, or TO go somewhere. Do
not shirk necessary Work-or do il in.
A half hearted way. You can do things
well and do them quickly also; do
them we'll at all events-make that
your habit. As you grow older you
will be glad that you made that your
rule OF living.
