Each I'm Her Own Way.
l once met a beautiful woman who
worked for the health, happiness of
her family. and she said, o, Mrs.
Bangs, why can't l talk? Emerson
said. IF you haven't the words in
which to express your thought, you
still can live IT, We often pick out
exceptional cases and try to make
them stand for the rule. II you go TO
many conventions you will be amazed
to find 40 many people working for
the same things you are working for,
but in their own way.
There is the thought and the ex-
preston of the thought. Painters as
a rule are not good takers because
they express their thought with a
brush. He puts his thought there.
One way is no better than the other
or more forceful or more important
than the other.
1 once knew an old lady who many
a Sabbath could not go to church, but
she said, Il put on the best clothes

The essential thing in coming here

Why He Is Afraid to Marry.
All over the country there are young
men who are afraid to marry because
they cannot provide the girl a home
such as her father made. They don't
mean home, they mean house. Young
people don't feel that they can begin
in a cave and work their way up as
time goes on. Two young couples,
merely because they want to keep up
a certain style. rented a four-room fiat,
and procured a maid. They had to rent
room out for the maid because there
was no room in the fiat. Now there is
trouble in the home of expenses and
things go wrong. What do these young
wives want with a. maid when their
husbands are down town all day? 80.
all of our set keep maids. couldn't
answer the phone and go to the door
myself" There is a difference between
a home and a house. The best and
most comfortable house that a man can
give to his family is not too good, but
it is not essential to a happy family
life
We are accused, ladies, OF being con-
sentative. The woman who kept
house in the cave could not keep
house like the woman in the tent All
over the country you strike people who
are trying to teach you and me how
to keep our houses. They can't do
that. 1 must not go out and say, Tell
me what must 1 get in my home"
That is detail. Women are conserva-
tive, they don't fit easily into new con-
ditions; the Lord takes people and
pushes them into conditions where
they won't go. The Lord pushed wo-
men out into club life, and woman's
clubs study everything under the shin
ing sun, but generally something a
very long way off.
Change I'm WOman's Club Work.
The first woman's club 1 worked
with studied Egypt, and Egypt away
back in pyramid times. If we were
very learned we took the foundation
of all languages and races. But that
is all mode of development. AS the
women went they were reaching out
for new ideas, and that Is training. No
progress has ever been perfect We
progress by running and stumbling and
find we are on the wrong track and
then swinging around. That is the
way human progress goes. The clubs
are now doing something for other
people. The women were like children
let out of school. They have gone out
into far regions in their club work and
then have drawn back to where they
were intended to be-in the home.
When your grandmother was young
she had exactly the same duties you
have, but presented in a different
form She knew of one poor family
and went and gave. But now women
are in a big world so great that each
can't do it all and they have to COOP
crate. The trouble is we always want
to tell other people exactly how to
do. If we ever succeed in telling a
person how to do thing let her alone
for the doing. The greatest educa-
tional movement / know of is the up
rise of the country people for the man.

Home In Flat.
l saw a mother holding up a little
baby to the window and looking down

along with valise, and just as he got
to the front door little boy flew out

Cook said this morning that there could
be no home in fat. If you are so for
tunate as to have a beautiful home
surrounded by sunlight and your own

people who must live in fats. Why
