IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Differences Be-
tween pomeStIe Standards Now
Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation Of
the difference that exists between tho
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those Of the past
generation. How did the women Of
the middle class Of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up. chil-
dren. They had no special style 70
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals IN
courses, but put all the food on tho
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties.
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for 1t
least two seasons; in short. every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made It easier for her By
doing likewise"

at US with undisguised amazement-

gether with three Of my troopers. and
after placing them as advantageously
as possible. stretched myself out on
the floor, and applying an eye to q
convenient opening took careful sur

not expect, from all l could now see.
that the final assault would take place
upon my side Of the building. The
masslng Of the main body Of the be-
siegers before the front entrance, to-
gether with the presence there Of
their leaders. was sufficient to con-
vince me that this was to prove the
principal point Of attack. and from my
knowledge of such affairs decided
that probably the first signs OF return
ing daylight would be the signal for a
determined assault. The dark interior
Of such a house as this offered too
many defensive advantages which the
daylight would largely overcome.
