Zoe and
- Her Problems

Angels do not live upon the
earth and Zoe was not perfect
Like all the human race she had
her weaknesses and frailties. But
she had a warm heart and a
ready sympathy for those in dis
tress, want or suffering. Her in
stincts were strongly domestic and
she was natural home maker,
lending an atmosphere to her
home of rest and security. Her
husband trusted in her judgement
and discretion in all matters per-
tanning to the household, and her
children grew and throve care free
and happy, a rolicking, joyous
group.
Zoe was one of the large class of
housewives who do their own
housework. Only on rare occasions
when the necessity was great did
she have help in her kitchen; and
as her family grew her duties multi
piled. She was a conscientious wife
and mother, striving to do the
right and stunning that which she
thought to be wrong. She honestly
tried to overcome her faults, chief
of which were the days Of despon-
dency which always followed
: seasons of great WEAKNESS and
fatigue.
1t was therefore with a feeling
akin to dread that she looked
forward to each succeeding Monday
which always brought more than its
share of nerve-racking toll. The
day was indeed Blue Monday in
her household. Each week she took
up it's duties with misgivings. Hel
depression communicated itself
to the family and general atmos
phere Of gloom pervaded the home
In vain she strove to overcome the
depression and petulence which
resulted from excessive fatigue
How to tighten the burdens O
Blue Monday was vexing problem
for Zoe's active mind, upon th'
solution of which much Of thu
happiness Of her home depended.
