The general idea is that we are all
pretty well able TO look after our own
rights but this general idea is quite at
fault We may try to look after our
own rights; we may imagine that we are
looking after them. But we are prob
ably making a sorry business Of the whole
analr
FOR 70 few people adequately realize
what their own rights really are, or
should be. They are like children cropping
IN the dark. and not at all certain Of
what they really want.
The married woman has certain rights
that really are her due. She should
strive to assert them. too. A certain
length OF time each day for relaxation
and amusement Is one OF the chief rights
OF the married woman. II she is to fulfil
her duty to her husband and her children
thoroughly she really needs this time for
recuperation.
SO many married women complain that
they have not moment to themselves.

plish so littlel No, we never have mo-
ment for amusement, or anything Of that
sort. You don't understand what the
preparing OF three meals day means,
or you wouldn't ask such a question:"
But Il Is a woman's right to have some
time IN the day to herself. 1t is also u
weiI-known fact, although it sounds al
most like a contradiction in terms, that
the busiest people are those who always
can ind time for things.
A lack of system and method is at the
root OF this perpetual rush on the part
Of the harrassed housekeeper A little
forethought, little planning-out OF the
thIngB that must be done and the things

So many women submerge all their
children. The tyranny OF the modern
child. or son, or daughter has como to
take the place of the old-fashioned hus-
bandly authority.

mother. The latter 80 often sacrifices her
time and her money and even her health
at the altar OF this rather needless young
person. getting little thanks in return.
Mamma will stay home and do that"
the girl will exclalm. ITS all right.
Mamma will see to everything"
The mother who spolls her daughter in
this way is committing a double wrong
For not only is she giving up her own
rights. but she is taking many Of the
daughters rights away from her. II is
the right OF every daughter to undertake
certain amount of responsibility, and to
shoulder some of the burdens of this
workaday world. When troubles come to
her. as assuredly they will, sooner or
later her early training in sel1shness and
responsibility will prove a poor prepa-
ration for the battle of life.
1t Is a mistaken kindness for mother
to ''do everything" for her daughter.
More than that It is positive injustice
For the girl will grow up into an in
capable, helpless, splneless individual for
whom nobody has any time. Moreover,
she will be the very first person TO blame
her mother for this mistaken kindness.
Mamma always did everything for
me-" said pretty girl the other day with
tears in her eyes, And now that have
to go out into the world to earn my own
living, I find It so dreadfuly hard. You
know. mamma always made all my
clothes. and mended them when they got
out of repair, and darned my stockings,
and did up my gowns and blouses, and
in everything took upon herself the heavy
end OF the beam. didn't appreciate It
then, took II all for granted. Now that
I am away from her, feel 1t doubly
much, but she made me so dependent on
her that 1 feel utterly helpless, and all
most incapable of coping with the sltua-
ton"
The mother who acted in this foolish
way not only violated her own rights, in
turning herself into her daughters slave,
but also most certainly violated the rights
being dependent on another and incapable
of conducting her own affairs is a kind
ness which, however we'll meant, is akin
to cruelty.

The Old Home Town

One of the experiences that life
holds for all of us is visit to the
old home town, the place where we
were boys and girls, with the aver
age of virtues and shortcomings of
boys and girls. The old home town,
somehow or other has warm spot
in the corner of all our hearts. We
forget it temporarily, we may roam
far from it and sever most of our
associations with it that once made
it the greatest place in the world to
US all. but somehow or other there
are memories about it that stay
with us all our lives, memories of
other days we cherish, says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise. Sometimes we
smile at the old home town and the
simple, honest, kindly folks we used
to know there, who may never have
left it to fare forth about the world.
We find them, however. happy, con-
tented and in the majority of cases
well-to-do. There are more hale
AMI hearty old men and old woman
in the old home town than in any
place we know of. All of us have
noticed it. Their handshake and
their smile warns the heart. They
are genuinely glad to see us. We
find they have never forgotten us,

though sometimes we are made to
search our memories for names we
have we'll nigh forgotten and the
changes the years have brot rather
startle us and bring us face to face
with the fact that the years are slip
ping past far faster than we thought
they were. Truly the old home
town isn't what it used to be. Lots
of the old friends are missing,
Some Of them have passed from the
earth. others have moved to distant
places, some of them are successes,
some of them failures. There are
surprises on both sides. The boy
we used to think would never a.
mount to anything, may be at the
head of a big industry, while the
boy who had every opportunity,
may have wasted the years, or
worse than wasted them. 1t is good
to visit the old home town. It a.
wakens a train of "reminiscences, but
we are better for the opportunity to
stop and think of the years that
have gone, the changes they have
brought and for the realization they
bring that every day is filled with
opportunities to men and women,
too many of which slip by unoticed
and neglected.

LOWE!
Many a man has been able to
overcome the enemy in battle, who
could not or did not overcome a
prejudice. Yet the one is SUBJ
stantial menace, while the other is
phantom. 1t makes not in favor
of it's existence if a prejudice be
founded in fact. If one be justified
IN execrating a man or his motives,
prejudice against him is a confess
sion of narrowness. 1t breeds an
obstinacy that is as blind as it's own
blind self. When a man overcomes
prejudice, however we'll founded,
he wins a pleasant and profitable
victory. To cherish a prejudice
does not harm the one it Is held
against so much as ones self. No
man can be broad and prejudiced
too. Life is too short and too
sweet to cherish a prejudice. Like
hatred. it mi[dews the heart. Like
envy, it poisons the soul. For ones
own sake it must be driven out, a.
long with it's malignant kindred. AS
acid congeals curd in freshest sweet
est milk, prejudice congeals whole
some reflections into spiteful plot
tings. 1t disturbs digestion, and in
time sours an otherwise pleasing
personality. Prejudice will not
abide in anyone's heart alone. 1t
must have the companionship of It's
petty kind. where together they can
nest and litter, and bring forth des-
plcable little acts that break Down
both health and character, If you

while There Is Life There L. Hope"

TO hope is to desire good in the
expectation of obtaining it. Hope
is the silver lining of every dark
cloud. You always hope for a bet
ter day. No doubt some of you are,
right this minute hoping that the
future will be brighter than the
past. If we could dig into the
heart of every human being, we
would find them craving eternal
good, hope for better concep-
ton of life. No matter how warped
the person may seem, these sparks
of hope and good thoughts can not
be extinguished. They scintillate
around the human being like the
emanations from a peck of radium
salt.
Human being believes in both
good and evil, one moment they
are cherishing a feeling of good
towards the world, the next they
ale up in arms against each other,
hating as hard as they loved. An
altogether foolish method of living.
Whatever a man believes he il apt
to put in practice, for action is the
expression of thought. Ii man
does not come to understand the
real nature of good, right thinking
and at the same time see the unreal
ity of evil. he will continue to hate
and love, live and die, hope and
fear forever.
