than caring for the health.
Now then let us use economy IN the
sewing room as well. Buy good material.
If we learn to do our own sewing we
can lire off small income. 10 do this
we must buy modest and practical
colors. Then let US save ourselves In
the way OF house keeping. To make
house keeping easy instead OF daily
drudge, let US leave of 80 many little
articles that require 80 much time TO
keep them in order. Half Of every
house keepers's time il spent in ear
ling for the little things that make our
homes look like children 3 play houses.
See what sweet and clean homes our
mothers kept years ago with just half
the work that we house keepers OF to-
day do. If I had to furnish our home
over it would be in the very plainest
way, and my advice to the young house
keepers is to get nice and plain furni-
ture; not much Of it, 30 the home may
be kept clean with but little work. Then
we can devote more time to the care
and training Of our little ones which
are SO often neglected for such things.
Then let us all understand that eco
nomy does not mean spending the small.
est amount but getting the largest re-
turns for the money expended.

meditation. This last fact is one of the
most significant In her life. for it was
undoubtedly the source Of her power
and strength. She came from there
two hours of meditation strong and
ready for the work awaiting her.
No child was permitted to cry aloud
after 1t was one year old. Perfect hon
esty. uprighteousness and truthfulness
were enforced. The children were sent
to their rooms at certain hours each
day for Bible reading and prayer going
two by two, an older one In charge Of
n younger. She held a religious con-
versation with one each day. taking
them in turn. These methods of hers
are rather interesting in comparison
with the training. or rack or training.
Of children in many homes to-day. But
her whole life Is interesting and full OF
inspiration. The mother of day fac
ing trials and hardships can find much
in the life of Susannah Wesley to
send her on her way heartened and re-
1oicing.
That those In charge of selecting the
women to be honored in the Liverpool
Cathedral have chosen her is most
commendahle,
