 tie profit in 1t. Worries are a good deal
 like bachy and felines-prcitf but un- profitable. You can't sell them, yet they're not worth keeping; and instead of your neighbors sympathizing with l you Jas you think they ought, they sim ply dislike you for maintaining nui- sance.
 "Laugh and the world iaughs with i you; weep and you weep aione,' ex- l presses exactly or pretty accurately the | | general attitude of the community to- wards the woman who worries. l Worry is habit, and it is one to | which womankind is especially prone. Possibly, it is an inherited taint-hand- l ed down to us by our ancestresses of medieval times, who could do nothing | but sit by the fire and spin-or else work miracles of art at their tapestry 1 lframes-while their men folk csre away fighting or hunting, and in either case
 carrying their lives in their hands Those old time Marianas immured in their moated granges, weaving romancesl in their brains the while their tireless
 hands busted themselves with dtstaff or {, needle, could not well help laying up for their hapless descendants a heritage of l overstrung nerves and vague, groundless
 fears, life was not very full of very in teresting things for women folk in those days. maiden's destiny led her either
 to the altar or the cloister, and in either
 case her future was bounded by impass-
 able walls If she married her sunrose
 and set in her husband. If she became
 a nun, her hopes. finding no outlet in this world, centered themselves in the
 world to come and 30 goes each one on

 Bonie: I was glad to see you fn your
 little corner. Now you can realize what mean when I say that your space be- longs to you to i'll, and when you see how much space I am occupying this week that belongs to other sisters to : fill. It isn't right When we join the ! Corner we are expected to write once a
 month at least. T think I have written } almost every week for the past year and
 some of my letters have been sermons. Betty Brown, Neigfibors, Golden Glow,
 Merry Widow and so many ohers can
 write helps for the Corner and it would
 be so interesting to turn to the Social
 Corner, and see all those names. Just
 help from each one would mean so much to the Corner. Now you turn to I the Corner and Kitty Lou, and Ehelyn are very much in evidence every time,
 and they are taking up the space that
 belongs to Oleander, Lois Valentine , Snow Drop, Cowhard. Jack, and others If each writer would write about six r lines each it would be very interesting
 to all the readers.
 T Perhaps you have Uncovered some o particular inconvenience, annoyance, ol ! unhappiness and have also found a way o to eliminate it from your life to bring
 about just the result you wished. Perhaps you would like to know how . other sisters are doing.
 v I think it is nice to write your expert < ence.
 Take different problems You know v in 1916, Baltimore woke up one morn ; l ing; decided that while some nois # might be necessary to keep the wheel
 of commerce whirhng, large margil of unnecessary noise should be abolish d ed ;and promptly appointed a noise DO = iceman, to arrest noises wherever h. :, found them.
 o In a small New England town a trac .e of swamp-land adjoining the river la. :, idle and unlovely for years, producin; i. only salt hay and mosquitoes, and re 1 garded as an eyesore which must b st put up with"
 T. One citizen thought differently. Fl -o quietly invited the landscape gardene 'i to the town, paid him for plans and spe 5; ciheation for turning the salt marsh in II to a beautiful, friendly, nefghbodhoo | park, and asked the town council to az 11 propriate the necessary funds to brin le about the metamorphosis. The tow w council voted No!
 'n Our citizen was not defeated. how g. ever. In the post office, where all tn v townspeople called at least once a da | for their mail he tackled up photograph s of the marsh and proposed plans of tn e' park. Day in and day out the peopl gazed at the contrasting pictures an lg became used to the idea. And, toda. he boys and girls play tennis, and childre ny roll on velvety turf, and fathers an k mothers stroll sociab1y about friendl C. little paths-where once stretched u 10 ugly swamp.
 1o Probably none of these problems al
 like yours to write about, yet for yo sh too, there is something you can do ss help show the way out.
