The Lady and the pi.hraa.

When a m declares that she
feels like q dish rag she Is dragging
herself down to the lowest level Of stilI
life. We doubt not from the personal
appearance of that handy article of do
nestle utility that il any life existed at
all In said rag 1t could not possibly
fall lower or feel meaner. However.
woman should eve orer herself IN
comparison with SO degraded N ~
ject for the staple reason that man
kind spurns the dish rag most vehe-
mently, and as woman exists solefy for
a she should not seek to lower her
self In his esteem. When a rag takes
up its duties in the dishpan it has
reached the tag end of abandoned
hope, the climax perhaps Of a merry
life. A dish rag might have been q
lovely lady's hose in Its palmy days
adorned by a silken garter and sur
rounded by costly lingerie. But 1t is
not Of its past that l speak. 1t is Of
its present social standing, its vulgar
environment and it's utter self aban-
donment. IT'S true that you may feel
fatigued to a limp and loppy degree,
but never can you feel SO utterly
wretched and beyond redemption as a
dish rag.-Zim in Cartoons Magazine.

Furnishing the Home.

When you plan to furnish your new
home and have just so much money to,
spend begin by making two lists, one
OF the things you want and the ether
of things you have to have. Cross off
from one and add to the other and you
will get the best results from your
money.
Plans for furnishing a home should
begin with the kitchen. A housewife
spends a good share of her time In the
kitchen, and she owes it to herself to-,
make it as attractive and easy to work,
in as possible.
Too many young housekeepers plan
their furnishings and homes with q.
view to what their friends win say
about them and not enough attention.
to the real needs.
Too many of us start furnishing our
homes where u friends will see them
tirst-at the front door-and when we,
get to the kitchen there is nothing left.
