Needs of Outside Interest.

"Only the woman with useful interests
outside her daily routine Of homely duties
in her home can escape the pitfalls for
the devoted wife and mother" says Isabel
Wilder in Womans Home Companion for
May THE woman who lives only in
the lives Of her husband and children.
and sees the world only in the relation
it bears to them, Is the woman to whom
in some form her children and husband
must sacrifice themselves. II during the
years her children need her constant care
she finds in that her sole reason for be
ing. in the years to follow, when they
need her care no longer, she will find
she has not the wisdom OF a wide expe-
rience and the serene quality for COM
partnership that happy self-expression
alone can give, and which would make
her both needed and wanted in their later
lives. The dependent woman has always
that quality of fear that makes the jeal-
Gus and exacting wife and mother who
sees in every new relationship Of husband
or child a menace TO her place in their
lives and affections.
The independent woman IS the woman
who lives by means of her own resources
Of mind. body. and estate who finds
through well-trained powers, always at
her command for service to her family or
society. a serenity and poise which make
her fit for the highest and sweetest COM
and the most ideal home and
social life. II these are denied her a
place will always be found waiting her
where useful service with wisdom and
calm capability is needed"

new clothes for the melancholy woman.
These cures are all little things. as you
can see. Melancholy is in itself a big
thing. but the enemies that can rout it
are little. 1t is a case again OF the lion
and the mouse.
Try some OF these cures. They are easy
enough to try. they are so simple. It will
require an effort. perhaps. to try even
the simplest. for melancholy is a disease
that inclines one 20 be inert, to resist
making an effort But make the effort
and IL the simplest Of these cure is select
ed for the initial experiment the effort
need be but slight But the dent will be
made, and though the impression at first
may scarcely be noticeable. still It Is
there and will become deeper by persist
ent repetitions
But you must try 10 do II yourself. No
one can make the effort for you. II you
determinedly shut your eyes. no one can
make you open them to see the sun shin
ing and the flowers blooming. But why
shut them to all the beauty and Joy that
is about? Try one Of the little cures and
then another and they Will gradually rout
the giant melancholy that is eating all
tbs Joy out Of life.
II ever any one had an excuse 10 be
melancholy Il was Robert Louis Stevhen-
son when he thought upon mis- health.
But he cheerily sings:
The world is 50 ful q beautiful things.
I'm sure We all should be as happy as kings
He made friends OF the little enemies
Of melancholy. He looked up at the stars
and down al the flowers at his feet and
ont at the open sky. He even extracted
humor from an obstreperous donkey. In
the face Of the beauty and the amuse-
ment and the interest IN the world all
about him he had no time 70 sit and
brood He had too much fun enjoying
life TO waste time in being melancholy.
Open your eyes 10 the good and the beau
iful as he did and you Will no longer sit
In darkness.

Two-and-twenty Recipes for Melancholy.

With a beautiful physical world all
about limiting at still more beautiful
spiritual world behind it, 1t seems strange
that any one should be melancholy. But
many man and woman is. My sister

I'VE are terribly worried about her."
Have you heard about Mrs. Blank?'' in
qures another. "She has melancholy.
The doctors hold out no encouragement
OF Improvement. She won't do anything
they tell her" And so it goes. On all
sides one hears OF men and women who
are melancholy, who are missing all the
JOY and brightness and glory OF life be-
cause Of this depression Of spirits.
What can mend this gray and gloomy
state? The doctors seem 10 fail with

so generously without feeling that happl-

BY the Oliver OF all good gifts. It is only

ate we can destroy.
