Winntred Harper Cooley Tells
of the Three Kinds of Women

and. indeed. with the cultured Greeks
Of centuries past that q man of many
moods and interests must have two
types of women to please him. The wife
and mother was secluded rigidly behind
closed doors. and kept uncducatcd,
merely to bear sons for tho race. The
gay ladies were taught poetry and song.
and dance, and even philosophy. and
were excellent company.
The bad part of this system was its
injustice. In modern times II has been
found quite feasible to ciurat" women
who were to he domestic. just aa we'll
as those who went in for the arts and
professions. Just bcrausc Il woman is
II wife and the mother of several chill. .
drCn. She should not be dull and
ignorant. and without charms AMI
gracc'.
TT Is profound JOY when the modern
l. man of cultur" can discover In one
woman whom he marrlcs. all the
beauties and intcilcrtuaIiticS and
i,iquancy that he hns always admired
in various girl friends.
Bnr. of course. there always will b"
different kinds of characters, and We
cannot deny that some women natu-
rally are exceedingly domestic. even to
mrninl nature. These have ability IN n
line of productive work such as cooking
aud sewing. with but littl" talent for.
or interest in. the outSidc affairs of tn"
world. They may be devoted mothers
and industrious homckrepers, and y";

Milly felt ashamed of herself for
being timid, so she said no more about
the crust. In fact, when they got to
the top of the meadow the snow did
seem firmer.
Jim sat down and held the guide
ropes while his sister got on behind.
"Ready! One-two-three!" Off they
swooped like birds on the wing over
the smooth unbroken snow. 1t was

but this time he was very still. So
still she became frightened and ran
over the crust to him.

He looked around at her and his

look frightened her.

a Bit
Mother who had been listening I'M
noticed at the window, smiling, went
into the pantry for a box of cookies
and then approached the group on
the steps
Did 1 hear someone asking for a
memory jogger?" she asked as she
passed the cakes around amongst the
children. Il know a good game for
the purpose. Would you like to try
it ?"
"Oh yes-sure thing-you bet
please yes" cried the children, so
mother seated herself beside them and
explained the game.
This game is a geography helm. :"
she said, Tom, you begin. Name a
city in the United States that begins
with an A. The next boy must tell
you what State it is in and if he does
this correctly, he in turn names a CITY
commencing with B. Helen must tell
what State that is in, because she sits
next, and then she must name a C
city. So the game continues until the
alphabet is used up"
For a time the children played this
memory logger. laughing at each
others mistakes and puzzling over de-
tails of location. When Mother saw
that they were firing of this fun. she
suggested new game.
This game will aid your spelling"
she explained. 1T also has to do with
geography. The first child names a
city, State or country. Now you must
all he on the alert to discover which
was nam ed-city, State or country and
the next child in turn must locate it
and then name a new place whose
first letter shall be the last letter of
the place just named. This game may
be played with many variations. Some
che may name a city and the next
person must name another using the
second letter Of the name, the mex.
child must begin his city with the
third letter of the name, the fourth
chilc with the fourth letter etc, until
the first place is entirely spelled out

~ course, you know the story of
IA how Pocahontas saved the life OF
& Captain Smith when he was
W about TO be killed by the Indians.
But have you ever heard the true
story of the wedding of Pocahontas
and John RoIfe. about a year and
half later?
The marriage ceremony was curious
because it combined many crude In
dian customs with the English ways
which were very much the same then
as now.
The wedding was celebrated In the
only church in jamestown. Virginia
a crude little building of stone and
logs. The inside walls were covered
with sweet-smeIling evergreens; great
clusters OF flowers and scarlet holly
berries were placed here and there
till the church was as gay and frag-
rant as could be.
The bride Pocahontas was dressed
in a long. loose robe of hand-woven
white muslin and from her head hung
a long white veil very much the same
as brides wear now.
Fastened loosely around her feet
was a rich robe given her by Sir Thos-
Dale. the Governor of the colony. and
heavily embroidered by Pocahontas
and her maidens.
A Gaudy fillet was bound around
her head and held in place feathers
and wings of birds of gorgeous colors-
Her wrists and ankles were adorned in
real Indian style with bands of Indian
