~ ONSIDER the Rose, my daughter
4 learn OF its ways and grow wise.
Behold the Rose tolls not, and
neither doth it spin, nor hath 1t any
Dart in a boiled dinner, vet a Daily HINT
from Paris hath nothing on II IN the
way of Glad raiment, and it Occupleth
the finest vase on the parlOr center
table.
And every man desireth it. and many
scads will a man give FOR one; yea, al
that the florist thinketh that the man
hath IN his pocket Will he stick MN Tor
an American Beauty.
Let this teach you that they also graft
who only stand and take. and that the
less that woman doeth for a man the
more will he do for her.
For if a wife shall work her fingeTN
to the bone for her husband. wrestling
with the cooking stove and the sewing
machine, he shall receive the labor OF
her hands without thanks, and say unto
himself:
Go 10, it is nothing, for | Opine that
nv Maria is of an industrious DISPOSE
ton and loveth TO work"
But if a wife Hest upon her couch OF
d morning and refuseth TO prepare the
breakfast for her lord, behold, he shall
hustle forth and bring her chocolate 70
her. so that she mavest refresh herself,
and SALLY forth, as one strengthened on
strong meat. to purchase gold and silver
iewelTy and hObble skirts that were
brought across the seas.
And such an wOman's husband shall
run back and forth in the market place
and hustle greatly TO gather together
many simoleOns wherewith to pay the
dressmaker and the milliner and the
masseur and the manicure and the
maiden who anointeth her finger tips
with red dyes. and he puffeth his chest
with vainglOrv when he eScOrteth her to
dine IN public. and the populace rubber
at the sight of her.
Let the Rose teach thee, my daughter,
the value of being a good locker, and II
thou canst not be beautiful, TO be as
beautiful as thou canst, for from n clever
woman viii a man flee as from the
plague; a witty woman he hatch, do
nestle one he admireth from afar and
adviseth his brother to marry, but a
peacherinO he weareth upon the lapel OF
his coat Just above his heart
Dependent Upon Herself.
Learn also from the Rose, my daugh-
ter, that whether woman Is a parlOr
ornament or a kitchen utensil dependeth
upon herself Bethink thee that it is
the Rose that hath the place of honor,
and that the wife whose husband taketh
an interest in holding her hands. is she
who hath kept her digits well manicured
and in a nice squeezing condition. not she
who hath made cOrns on her paws toiling
to spread five plunks as far as seven
should 90, and to make pies even as
mother used TO do.
Observe, my daughter, that the man
who hath Rose boasteth himself there
of and flaunteth it in the public's face,
and he writeth poems about it and sing
eth songs concerning it, though the Rose
serveth no practical purpose in life.
1t would not cover him from the
storm, did it rain; it would not shelter
him from the cold. were it winter; he
could not eat it, did he hunger.
If a man hath a Rose he cannot say
unto himself:
10 viii gather my friends together
and make feast, and we shall sup and
make merry" But if he hath a cabbage
and an onion and exc some spinach and
tomatoes and green corn. he can dineNlike
Vegetarian King. Yet the man be-
grudgeth the price to the greengrocer OF
the food that nourisheth life, while he
