Housekeeper Not Belittled.

You all know me well enough to be sure
that I have no intention of belittling the
position of wife and moth er and housekeep-
er. 1t is the work God has put into your
hands and he means you to make the best
of it. But you fail to do this when you let
one side of your being atrophy. You are
developing one department of your nature
and your work at the expense of the others
and making ready to present to him a mis-
shapen, distorted product instead of the
beautiful, symmetrical result he has the
right to expect from you.
Perhaps you dom see how this applies in
the case of Mrs. A. What has her neglect OF
her figure and dress to do with her discharge
of her God given duties?
1t has more than you suppose. For the
figure and dress are both due to her having
left undone the things she should have done

you well enough to be pretty sure that an
appeal to you to do anything for your own

that you should keep yourself up to a high
mark?
Think for moment OF some of the good
wives and mothers you have known who
have not seemed to understand the bust
ness of keeping themselves up. We have
all met them. They are devoted wives and
mothers, excellent housekeepers and econ
on1ists, who look we'll to the ways of the
home and devote their whole lives to max

comfortable. The only real fault you can
find with them is that they don't seem to
consider their personal appearance. their
