Myth.

TO be alone at last-this is an 4
used phrase that comes straight from
the heart How many OF us have known
what tits ito be alone at last!" The
privacy of the home is something de-
MED the most Of us through the present
social conditions. Charlotte Perkins
Gilman. n OF Americas foremost
thinkers takes up this subject In an
article entitled. some Domestic
Myths appearing iii the Pictorial Re-
view. She says:
This dates from the Introduction OF
homogeneous marriage. There was
small claim to privacy in a tribal group
or q polygamous household. 1t is the

ideal and the very sdwindling Of domes-
TIC industry to tie Mast details OF per-
sonal service which give rise to the
myth. Being less venerable than the
others, we may with better grace x
pose its fallacy.

any American how much privacy he
has at home. The very rich, with sep
arate chambers, may nave some; but
they are few. And those great mansions
with their throngs of servants and
guests, are by no means what we have
in mind when we speak of the privacy
of the home. AS to the wornan-the

ment whatever from her husband, save
when he is away from the house, and
none~from her children at any time.
Mothers room is everybody's room.
Besides the children, she is, while at
home, always liable to the demands of
servants, tradesmen and callers. To es-
cape these last, we have invented q
common lie, not expected to be be-
lieved. In order to preserve the privacy
Of the home, we say we are not in.
TN the house without servants, that
is in ffteen-sixteenths Of American
homes, there Is neither space o time

AS soon as the fire burns red and low.
And the house upstairs is still,
She sings me a queer little sleepy song
OF sheep that go over the, hill.
The good little sheep run quick and soft,
- Their colors are gray and white;
They follow their leader nose to tail.
For they must be rome by night.
And one slips over, and one comes next.
And one runs far behind;
The gray ones nose at the white one's
tail,
The top of the hill they find.
And when they get to the top of the hill
They quietly slip away.
But one runs over and one comes next
Their colors are white and gray.
And over they go and over they go,
And over the top of the hill
The good little sheep run quick and soft
And the house upstairs Is still.
And one slips over and one comes next.
The good little, gray little sheep!
