LITTLE BROWN HANDS

They drive home the cows from the
pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the
wheat fields
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry
grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the
rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder-bloom white;
They find where the dusky grapes
purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang
ripest.
And are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit hangs the
thickest
on the long. thorny blackberry
vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick the beautiful seashells-
Fairy banks that have drifted to
land;
They wave from the tall, rocking tree
tops
Where the orioles hammock nest
swings;
And at night time are folded in slum-
Der
BY a song that the fond mother
sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And so from these brown-handed
children
Shall grow mighty rulers Of state.
The pen of the author and states
man
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown
hand.

SOcializing the Home

The words, "Socializing the Home"
look strange don't they?
What is the home, if not a social
institution. and the most important
social institution that has ever been
known?
Can it be a social institution and
not be social?
A recent writer has declared that
socializing the home is one of the
greatest needs of the age, and per-
haps. the greatest art in the difficult
business of being a woman:
Among all of the changes of the
last half century, none has been more
startling than the decline in the spirit
of neighborliness.
Sixty years ago we read that every
one had neighbors, even in the cities
AS for smaller towns-you have on
ly to read some of the biographies of
those days to realize how close and
helpful were the relations Of neigh
Dor to neighbor.
A traveller to Grand Rapids expect
ed as matter of course to do errands
for everyone for miles about him.
Joys and sorrows, hard times and
happy ones, were all alike shared with
the neighbors.
The fireside was still what it had
been for a century before-the great
university of the nation.
Science strange new thing-was
beginning TO be talked about.
But the great arts of hospitality,
self-reliance kindness. and the, maxi
ing friends with all sorts of people,
were almost universally known and
practiced
And conditions today? Why, there
are girls who have left their homes
and are living in bachelor apart
ments" because "the home life letters
them"
Thousands of families spend their
lives in apartments and do not recog-
niZe their next door neighbors when
they meet in the elevators.
There are women who live at a
hotel. because there they can be quite
free from all the demands of hospi-
tality; and there are homes where
hospitality" means carefully reckon
ed returns for social favors.
What a pitiful condition of home
life it all is.
No wonder there is a cry for the
specialization of the home.
mo home can realize it's function
that habitualiy narrows itself to a
family, that does not Systematically
build around this family a circle of

dent comments that in the springs of
yesteryear. so to say. those alleged
amazing beings did have a so-called i'm

yet reached their present status of
superiority. and they were content to be

Even at other seasons they were

who were willing to promise anything.
If only the one woman in the world for

But this spring? Is II true now. as in

become mems equals they are seeking
something superior to themselves, and
the men are no longer the objects of
their choice. They are looking for
something better. and they deserve II.
What IL will he in the final roundup I

mate with men not from choice but
from necessity, and now that they are
