doctors tell us that hurry like worry
is death to good looks and an enemy
to health as well. The people who
accomplish the most in the world are
those who plan their work well and
sercnely accomplish it. Did you ever
time yourself on certain piece OF
work; for example the making and
frying of a rule of doughnuts? If so
you will know the time needed and
will know what to plan for. OF
course, there are always the unex-
pected interruptions which we can.
not plan on, but it is wise to know
the length of time it takes to do GER
tain pieces of work. If mistresses
had q better understanding OF these
things there would be more peace and
harmony in the household. maid
who had two weeks washing under
way should not be asked to prepare
a dinner for invited guests. 1t is such
inconsiderate women who are helping
to keep the servant problem still un-
solved. and are always looking for a
servant. If one is possessed with the
precious power of concentration. use
an alarm clock and set 1t at the time
that the dinner is to be started or the
bread put into or taken out of the
oven. 1t takes but an instant to pro-
vide this security and 1t SO relieves
the mind that the whole attention
may be put upon what ever work is
at hand.
Tapioca baked with sour apples and
served with sugar and cream is an
other simple and wholesome dessert.
When we learn to keep our sense
of proportion, and know that. how
ever, desirable 1t may be to have the
washing out early. a sweet temper
n calm and quiet mind are much more
to be desired and vastly more appre'
ciated by the home folks.
