Making Drudgery of Work

You look tired" said woman to an other recently.
 "T am." she answered. 'I am thorough ly worn out--like dozens of other women
 that [ know, and it Is wholly my own fault"
 They sat down on the porch and ex-
 changed condolences.
 "Tnstead,' said I, "of being mistress Of my own home I have let my home dom mate me. Instead Of holding the reins Of housekeeping with firm but gentle hand, | I have drawn them tight. The result is that the cares, duties and obligations of every day have mastered me. They have so overcome me that they have used up my strength, and l am as you see me. 1t is all a mistake.

French Women and Gloves

The French woman's idea of dress is
 perfect in all it's details. Her motto is well booted and well gloved,' and she lives up to this. If she must practice economy she never neglects shoes or
 gloves. She is especially careful about the selection of her gloves She never would be guilty of pulling them on in the street or of squeezing her hand into a pair several sizes too small or buttonIna them with hairpin. Many people squeeze their hands into gloves so small that the hands take on deformed ap- pearance. Women with large hands
 should buy gloves quarter Of size

 "I suppose there really ought to be-" said The Major sheepshly.
 There's Jack Robinson, for instance" :" Peggy began. His first wife was a model of all the virtues and housewife qualities, and yet Jack never during all the time they were married spent quiet evening at home with her. She sewed herself nearly to death | she scrubbed and cooked when it was necessary and she died a ner- vous wreck. Now he's married to Kitty McCree, and she's as irresponsible and dont-care as a will-o -thewisp Her house is as dirty as a pig pen and she never has anything decent to eat on her table and yet you can't drag Jack away from home and he adores her"
 q can answer that problem, said the Major cheerfully, ''by using your own ex- pression-kitty The Woman With a Rose in Her Hair I happen to be very good friend of Jack Robinsons and I know that during his first wifes life he never could even so much as take a friend home to dinner with him. He couldn't throw newspaper down on the floor without fuss; he couldn't come in with his muddy feet without big hulla- baloo Now with Kitty, If Jack brought
 
 delighted; she'd even make them go out in the kitchen and help cook the dinner if it was necessary; she'd just love the very mud on Jacks boots, and there you are. Of course everybody was sorry when Jacks first wife died, but poor dear, She certainly needed the rest!'
 You horrd thing snapped Peggy. How dare you?'
 ''Well, I am giving you the reason for Jack Robinson's happiness now" said The Major. You brought him up as the orrible example and l am only carrying out your line of argument Kitty over looks the dust, doesn't care how many cigar stumps are lying around, nor how much smoke gets into the curtains, and the sofa pillows can be just as rumpled as they want to be, and it's all right with her-just so it pleases Jack
 And then she irts with her husband, too, all the time,' said Peggy resentfully,

'Where have 1 heard that phrase, The Woman With a Rose in Her Hair, I
 wonder?" Peggy asked The Major the
 other evening as they sat ii the silvery
 moonlight.
 q don't know I'm sure, he answered, Tt sounds like the name of one of those
 unspeakabfe pictures in an Art Show" 'I haven't been to one in ages and I m sure I couldn't have heard it there,' said
 Peggy, disposing of that suggestion in jiffy. But honest for true, wonder

 fairly haunts me. I seem always to have
 heard about The Woman With Rose in Her Hair Haven't you?' "Yes," said The Major. And you've never been able to locate her-have you?
 I don't believe you'd find her address in
 the Blue Book. She's not cataloged She's
 a class rather than an individual, don't
 you think?
 "Oh." Peggy gasped. "Now I have it. I read a story once. and one of the char acters in it said: Its The Woman With l a Rose in Her Hair-never the one who excels in bread-makng, before whom every mothers son kneels in homage and
 adoraton' Haven't you read the story?" l The Major admitted that he hadn't. but I ac cknowledged that the statement carried
 much weight with 1t.
 "You're man. Major" said Peggy
 presently, now tell me what 1t is about
 The Woman With a Rose in Her Hair, that seems to charm your sex. The Major started to say something
 then took a woman's prerogative and changed his mind, and said something en- tirely different.
 "It's not the woman so much,' he be- gan deliberately.
 "Is it the rose?' queried Peggy. .1t might be neither. It might be both, The Major suggested. Perhaps it's all that the combination stands for, don't you know?"
 'If I knew I wouldn't be asking you to tell me-" snapped Peggy. '1s there any reason why a good house wife-a woman who excels in the art of bread making and rearing of children, should give way

Old Sunshine

Jesting Jonah. Old sunshine and I are the truest of
 friends,
 Ofttimes you will find us together; He kissing my cheek with the splendor
 he sends, Till my hearts as light as feather. Through field and through woodland
 we roam heart in heart, His company banishing worry; When, To! A black cloud comes to rent
 us apart, And homeward in sorrow hurry. Sometimes he don't come when the day
 light arrives,
 But know he will not desert me; And often the merry soul somehow con-

 day, I watch his departure in sorrow, And wish him godspeed on his e'er-

 That brings him to me on the morrow.

Women and Domestic

We do rot fail to appreciate the i'm portanee of women's domestic duties. but we see that in the modern oondi- tions of life which drive 9,5so.o00 women into the struggle for a living outside the home 1t is absolutely necessary to go be- yond the bounds of domestic duty, is the reply of the German Women's league to Emperor William. We regret, therefore most deeply that our efforts to fit women better than therefore for modern condl- tions of life have by this imperial criti- cism been brought into discredit among the minimizing and unreasonable.

Portuguse Burial Custom

Portugal has one of the oldest burial customs. The cemetery in Lisbon shows row after row of tiny chapels ranged in long avenues bordered by cypress trees. instead of the headstones and monuments of the graveyards Of other countries, This custom is thesresult of the fact that the Portuguese people do not like the idea of burying their dead out Of sight. and these chapels serve as mortuaries for the cof- fins.

If woman has a sense of humor it must certainly be called into play at the reading of some of the hair fashions.

It Is certainly to be hoped that however fash ions may sway, and no matter how ridic- ulous they may become. there will still be some women who will remain natural and pay small heed to such fashionable i6osyncrases.
