:le many things that rob the home
life Of its Joy, that make the home
coming Of the husband or the chill
lren anything but joyous.

'On time and did work WELL" This
means much to a successful woman,

can you do not "what have you
lone?" So a woman. she said, must

many things that her children can do
TO make her life happy.
The last finger. the little one. bears
the sentence: Somehow you forgot
she was SO homely." It is the noble
things in the woman's life that make
