For the Sake of Your Soul

tions, all contributing to your secret
purpose TO learn OF the needs OF the.
family.
Not to offend the mother OF the
humble household is a matter for
your tact Do not appear as a char
ity worker. Neighborlincss is your
best role to play here. Remind the
mother OF your interest in chill
dren, of how your own are grown
up and gone, and OF how YOUR heart
is still hungry to do something for
the little ones. Now, come right
out and ask for the pleasure OF
bringing them certain things which
you think they need. II you have
shown the right sympathy your re-
quest will most certainly be
granted.
The remainder IS easy. You will
come home with a light heart and
an alert mind, as you contemplate
the treasury OF good things which
you mean to bring from their for
gotten places in your house, and
from elsewhere. to put in service
for your new friends-a stocking
cap, a little Jacket, a pair of very
good shoes and a plaything or two.
But hungry and pinched as they
are. the best gift you can bring to
this simple household Is the radI-
ance OF your awakened soul. This
light, which shines from you will
shed a new luster into this place
OF former darkness and drive out
the sordidness and despair. You will
recall the story OF a great Master
Teacher, who washed the feet OF
His disciples.
You can serve here in the same
humble sort OF capacity. Wash and
clean up the children. Help tidy
up the house. Take some OF the
knots and twists out OF the plain
affairs OF the household which the
busy mother has not had time TO
look after. Before you leave the
place see that your personal touch
Is left upon something there az a
pleasant reminder for those who
remain.
Thus you become a ministering
angel of goodness and light, and
thus you satisfy the hunger within
your own soul.

group of mounted men hurrying
along. In the midst OF them was a

the staples and semi-perishables.
The plan Of meals hung in the kitch-
en-.
Early in her married life Mrs.
Brown taught Mr.. Brown how SO
prepare a simple, nourishing break
fast. She knew that there are times
in every womans' life when sick
ness knocks at the door. and for
this she prepared. 1t took patience
and sacrifice to teach Mr.. Brown
how TO slicel an orange, soft-cook
an egg, make a piece OF edible toast
and a cup OF good coffee.
Mr.. Brown knew exactly where;
each Of the food supplies was kept,
so that there was no loss Of time
And Mrs. Browns boy and girl
know how 10 cook these simple
things.
She had occasion to be away from

fully planned and cooked 30 that
there would be enough food on hand
during her absence. She left enough
fruit for the breakfasts, potatoes
for two of the days were cooked
and left in the refrigerator, as well
as roast sufficient for two days.
She even left a war cake.
The girl of twelve just had to re-
heat the food for a few minutes.
The third days meals were plan
ned so as to use canned goods
canned salmon, canned peas. canned
spaghetti, canned fruit and sweet
crackers combined into an easy-to-
get-reRdy meal or two.
But who washed the dishes?
The husband was a business man,
and usually a tired one at night.
The children were only children
who needed time to study and time
for recreation. So Mrs. Brown kept
on hand for emergency a goodly
supply Of fiber picnic dishes that
could be thrown away after each
meal. The flat silver needed but a
rinse with hot water to clean It.
Paper dishes, paper napkins.
paper tablecloths. and paper towels
are excellent in an emergency.

circumstances Snoulu DC DuTutnGu
with the household routine. But II
is pitiable to see n home after q
few days when the housewife has
neglected to make provisions for
just such an emergency?
1t Is easier to do IL oneself than
to show some one else how to do 1t.
But It's worth the sacrifice OF time
and energy to teach the other MEM
bers of the household some of the
simpler things.
When Mrs. Brown returns after
an emergency absence she finds
neither soiled dishes, soiled towels,
nor soiled table linen piled high for
her to dispose OF. She takes up the
routine just where she left off.
Yes, every success demands sacri-
flee. And really successful house
keeping demands many little sac
rifices.

\/oU' well-To-Do Woman of the
City, as you sit comfortably
Il before your warm fireplace
during these cold winter eve
nIngs, do not forget that there is
probably much suffering and priva-
tion within a very few blocks of
you. Your soul will soon become
calloused il you merely sit there
and try to take comfort from the
thought that you are knitting for
the Red Cross, or that you recently
gave something to charity.
Just now it is the suffering and
want OF the little children that
should especially touch your SYM
pathies to the point OF action. Do
something for them, and thus lift
the weight from your stricken con-
science. Do not be satisfied with
the merely conventional thing OF
taking some cast-off clothing to the
charity bazaar. That is too abstract
and impersonal.
Go to the home OF some poor
family as 4 humble caller, attired
appropriately for the occasion, and
first kindle a spark OF fellowship
between your soul and that of the
members OF the household there.
You will at first meet with reti-
cence and perhaps Suspicion. You
will doubtless find sOrdidness and
dulled sensibilities in the character
of the mother OF the group but the
children are certain to be more re-
sponsive.
Now, here is the opportunity for
your souls awakening. The first
call should be the occasion of a
rough survey OF the situation. Have
a supply of good cookies in your
handbag and pass these around
among the children, while you
warm up the scene with your
friendly conversation. Assume the
attitude OF a dear. good neighbor
