life is constant round Of housework.
Her family does not praise her every
time she bakcs her excellent bread, the
hundreds of tedious duties she performs
are not even realized by those she serves;
she receives no sympathy for her back
aches which come, week in and week out,
as she does certain tasks which tire her.
And yet-thc one little seed OF sacrifice
that takes root occasionally fepays her II
thousandfold for all the fruitless seeds
she sows.
What are these fruitful seeds? Some
times they take the form of the look
of pride on a husbands face when he
passes his guest piece OF supremely
delicious cake baked by his wife. Some
times they come to view IN the casual
reference of the merest stranger who
has heard that the sower OF the seeds
of sacrifice is "a wonderful housekeeper.
Sometimes they appear IN the sudden,
impulsive suggestion of loved one that
the housckeeper take day off because
you work SO hard.
In other words, the housekeeper who
works hard and constantly, asking no
return, has the deep-down, certain feel
ing that her efforts are appreciated,
and this is the secret OF her Willingness
TO make the sacrifice she is making. Hard
houscwork has its fruits, and the sweetness
OF their unexpected hlossonIng repays
n woman for all the long hours of labor
which are seemingly uuappreclated.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman.
THE FRUITS OF HARD WORK.

IL is a rather strange fact that Of all
the hundreds of letters ] have received
from my readers. not one letter has con-
tanned a complaint that Housekeeping
j. "drudgery' or "a thankless task. = And
in rejecting upon this splendid fact. ]
have come TO the conclusion that the
average woman does not resent the daily
grind Of housework and has no complaints
To offer
Why is this? Here is the way | have
explained it TO myself:
Several years ago j came in contact
with a girl artist who had tried and
tried 70 sell her work, but with no sue
cess After two years Of struggling, she
hesame thoroughly discouraged. I'm
gong to give up art and try to get a
business position she told me- I've
plugged away at art for two solid years
and never earned q cent. There's no use
in wasting any more time" Not a week
later she ran in upon me with look
of radiance on her face. what do you
think2' she cried "a pen-and-ink
drawing | left with a magazine a wear
ago I'D forgotten all about it, has been
accepted And | was Just going to give
up artl Now Ill plug away harder than
ever"
In short, this girl had given her best
self TO her work, denying herself the
pleasures that other girls had and as
she owed her seeds of sacrifice, one
III eed had taken root-only one,
bL was enough to encourage her
TO ! on and to repay her for all the
fruitlcss seeds.
and so il IS with tbs woman whose

DO YOUR CLOTHES HELP?

S&e of the thirgs that some house
wives ovs~bok is the Importance Of wear
ing comfortable clothes in doing house
work. They might almost be called labor
saving devices. They may not actually
save labor, but they make the labor very
much less burdcnsome. Compare cleaning
n room in nm ill-fitting corset and cleaning
1t when you are comfortably corsetcd.
Compare canning fruit with tight, high
heeled, narrow-vnmpcd shoes and when
wearing shoes that give your feet ample
support without pinching them.
Ii is mistake to solve your difficulty
by simply discarding the uncomfortable
clothes If you are used to wearing a
corset you will certainly not bc comfort
able If you try TO do bard work without
one. II you are used to shoes YOU will
find that your arches and the soes oi your
feet are very much more tired out after
you stand in the kitchen for while in
loose bedroom slippers.
woman who has made n study Of
clothes gives the advice TO women who
work whether at business, or profession,
or in their own homes: Spend the greater
amount on your working clothes. For
they are most important. Spend more on
your everyday working shoes than you
Go on the snpes you Ntht btliN tt'hsioidiil i.
Some women never have any work shoes.
They simply wear their best shoes that
have become shabby and run down at the
heels. This is great mistake. II YOU do
not want straight, fat-hecled broad-toed
shoes for dress. YOU should Mt least wear
them when working at home, and # YOU
get attractive shoes of this type you i'll
not find il an irksome thing to do.
There are corsets that can be bought
now that are Just like any other sort of
corset save that they have a front steel
ONLY for about three or four inches below
the waistline. AZ the waistlne and above
the corset is unboned, fastening there with
buttons and buttonholes. This mears
that though your abdomen viii be per
fectly supported when working YOU may
lean over aud bend forward at will with
out the discomfort of having that front
bone stick into YOU They are really an
enormous comfort They hold the figure
perfectly, and have the trim feeling that
is such help whether ut work or play,
but thcy do away with the feature that
usually makes corsets trouble when
dong housework
