The Better PART.

Women who bring nervous prostra-
ton on themselves working for their
families always account it unto them
selves for Righteousness. The" display
their doctors bills as if they were ci-
tations for deeds of heroism. and they
feel that their husbands and children
can never be sufficiently grateful to
them for all they have done for them
But If the husband and children were
allowed to express themselves on the
subject they would say that their bod
lily comfort had been bought at too
great a price. and that they would
rather have palmer food and clothes
and a house less spick and span and a
wife and mother who wasn't too tired
and worn out and cross to enjoy things
with them.
For If you will noFice, you will OBJ
serve that it is always Mary who is
adored by her family, while Martha's S
family appreciates her good points but
finds her trying to live with.
woman who is not very robust
does well to take accurate measure of
her strength and to give only such a
part of it to her domestic affairs as
she can give without making herself
nervous and irritable and sick. Let
to devote to the higher things. to keep
ing herself cheerful and even tenn
pered and chummy with her husband
and children. e0
This may cause her to neglect her
housekeeping a bit. There may be &C.
casionally dust on the parlor mantel.
and simple food on the table, and the
children's clothes may not have as
much hand work on them as Martha s
children's have. but if it enables her
to be jolly and pally instead of being
querulous and fault finding, nobody is
going to care.
There isn't a man alive who
wouldn't rather be met of an evening
when he comes home tired from work
by smiling, prettily dressed, fresh
faced wife and simple dinner. than
to come home to a banquet if the wo-
man who had prepared it was so tired
that she hadn't taken time to dress. or
comb her hair. and so nervous that
she seasoned It with her tears and
| fault finding.
Nor are there children that wouldn't
rather have a home in which they
could make q rough house if they
pleased than one where nothing is ever
| out of place, and where Don't" is in
seribed over every door. Neither are
there any children who wouldn't
rather have mother who put in more
time being friends with them and less
on their clothes.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am en-
gagged to a young man who boa rds
The other night 1 had a date with
him and he phoned me during the
day that he was sick and would not
be able to come.
l went to town and passed his
house on the way. He has a front
room and the curtains were all down.
On the way back they were the same
way. 1 was so worried that I went
back to town, got a rose and took it
to him.
The lady where he lived let me in
and asked me to sit down in the par
lor. Then she called the man 1 am
engaged to. He got dressed and came
downstairs. He was sick, but had
only a sick headache and he would
be better in a day or two. He seemed
very much pleased to have me come.
When L went home and told my
mother what 1 had done she scolded
