THE WIFE WHO
! NEARS CRISIS
An Acknowledged Expert in All
Matters Apperfaining to
Household Management.
BY LOrettO G. Lynch

L<T AM the mother 81 five.
and am scarcely thirty
years MY husband is
Industrious and gives me practi-
cally everything he makes. Yet.
I have absolutely no money for
the things other women seem to
have and. worse than all, have
no leisure.
my home is clean and neat
and my children are well cared
far. but have a twenty-four-
hour job and feel / am break.
ing. During the holidays my
husband got stbeater tickets from
his employer, but had so many
things to do / simply could not
go with him. How-oh, how, can
. create leisure timer
The one and only answer is
systematic. Go over your tasks
and list them on paper. Then
, check off those that might be
gotten along without. Soon you
will find that the essentials are
Cooking, cleaning and possibly
laundry work.
Plan your meals, and then
group the cooking. For instance,
if you have rice as cereal. cook
double the quantity and have
part to use as Mexican rice, a
vegetable. and perhaps part to
be used on the second day as
simple rice pudding.
If you plan your meals they
cost less, and perhaps with what
you save you might find it posi-
BILE to hire helper at least one
half day each week. believe a
woman with five sm..ll children
should have a little help. How
ever, if this is really impossible,
why not ask one of your close
relatives to come in and help you
now and then, just for the love
of you. That is what they eventu-
ally will have to do when you
break down.
Then try to add to your labor
saving devices. When your baby
maps in the afternoon just drop
everything and take a nap your
self. Let your husband watch
the children now and then and
go to visit some neighbor, if only
for an hour. To get away for
even one hour will help greatly
in pulling you over the place
which seems to be almost q crisis
in your career.

/" HERE is a deadly enemy to

Many a girl. suffering agonies
Of shy timidity, longing to be
happy with other young people,
, yet held hard and fast by her
own fear of being her natural,
sweet self, has prayed in agony
for relief from this torture.
One recalls the sad story Of
the young man who wrote to a
column of advice to young people,
asking how he could overcome
his terrible fault of bashfulness
and was given this comforting
advice: Simply assume an easy
and pleasing manner" Poor
young man! Had he been able
to assume the easy and pleas
ing manner" he never would
have needed advice on the sub
ject of bashfulness.
But there really is a delight
ful way of achieving charm and
grace, without which mere beauty
is quite lifeIess, and this mental
recipe restores to you fascinat-
ing individuality which is rightly
yours and which attracts as natu-
rally as sunshine. Here is the
charm recipe:
Interest yourself in others
and forget yourself!

ways suggest themselves Of add

means at your disposal. Then
with the comforting assurance
that you are looking your best.
why should you bother with
thoughts Of self when you have
the thrilling adventure OF living
to interest you, with all its OPP
portunities for helpfulness and
growth and new experience?
Whether you find yourself
busy in an office, schooIroom,
factory or in your home, make
your work and the interests of
your associates your own great
interest. Try to compete with
and to excel. not other persons,
but your own efforts of yester-
day.
When it is question not of
work but of play. honestly inter
est yourself iP the fun and if you
cannot talk well at least listen
well and enjoy yourself.
Whether at work or at play, give,
give, give of your wisest and your
best. When you work and play
constructively you can neither
cringe nor be arrogant-you can
neither oyerestimate nor underes-
innate yourself. for you forget
yourself and find your real, normal
self
When boys and girls and women
and men give of their mental best
in this unselfish way without
thought of return, the strange
thing is that they receive even
more than they give, for to such
persons the world gladly-gives Of
it's best.
All this may seem a far cry
from beauty chats, recipes and ex-
ercises. but the fact is that beauty
lotions and even hours of patient
beauty culture will do little for the
person who is deliberately self
centered. All these aids have i'm
mense value, however, to the per-
SON who uses them merely as a
means toward the end of giving 10y
to others through the completion
of her own charms and power for
constructive good.
The browning gift of naturalness
is added to the beauty of the girl
who, I'm the words of your wise
philosopher: Looks up and not
down. looks out and not in, lends a
hand"
