The greatest defect of the feminine sex is that it lacks sense of value
 The average woman seems utterly the aIl-important and the unimpor' tant, or of telling the difference be- tween the vital and the trivial. She carries no mental scales ir which to weigh one course of action against another. so she may see on which side her well being pulls down the heaviest She applies no acid to every situation so she may find out which is pinchbeck and which con tains the real gold of her happiness So she goes groping along through life, making mistakes that could so easily have been avoided, doing fool ish things instead of wise ones frit. tering away in useless effort the en- ergy, the time, the money that should have won her success. all because she has never taken the trouble to study the relative value Cf things.
 Yet these very woTen who are So dull to spiritual values are keen enough about material ones. You couldn't persuade them that a pair of cotton stockings are as fine as a pair of silk and lace ones to save your life. No skinned milk masque- rades as cream with them. They know why it Is better tC buy the thing that is wool and yard wide, and that will stand the wear and tear of daily use without frazzling around the edges, than 1t is to put your money in some foolish, gay, flimsy stuff that may catch your eye for the moment but that single wearing will reduce to rags.
 Cautiously enough. it is when women confront the duties of wife hood and motherhood that they seem to most lose all sense of values and to be utterly unable to separate the domestic sheep from the goats, so to speak.
 Take the matter of housekeeping. fer instance. Obviously, 1t is every married womans duty to keep a neat. clean, orderly house and to set well cooked, nourishing meals before her husband and her children. So far, so good, but many women are so im- hIusekeepers that they forget to be anything but cooks and scrubwomen.
 They feed the bodies of theiy fam lilies, but they do not feed their hearts and minds. They neglect married soon and live tasre."

ny H'h"h HDA'hhN THE MOTHER OF WILLIAM PEN


 A gay. tender, romping mother was that of William Penn, great Quaker and first settler of the state of Penn sylvania. Among historians there has been some discussion as to whether her ancestry was British or Dutch. but it is fairly well estab- Ilshed fact that she was widow at the time she married the elder Penn and that the name Wander Schuren had been the patronymic of her first husband.
 It was from his mother that Will liam Penn inherited his qualities of broad -mindedness, toieration and faith. There is nothing to indicate that he was a particularly gay man but he was undoubtedly a sweet soul and this comes directly frorS mother. She was woman of con siderable mental attainment and lived in a whirl of fun and fashion One of her friends and admirers was Samuel Pepys, that cynical ant sharp -tongued diarist, who gave praise to so few that his approva took an added value. Writing of his first encounter with her, he said ir his diary:
 "To Sir W. Penn's to see his lady Tor the firSt time, who is wei looked, fat. short old Dutchwoman but one that has been heretofoi pretty handsome and is now very discreet, and I believe hath more vii than her husband"

Your Home and You
The Village Mender
By HELEN KENDALL

In a certain suburban village out of New York city, there is CO., operative scheme worked out which ought to be followed b. many groups of busy, helpful women. The organ ization back of this particular case is the local Red Cross, which has continued it's war work by lending hand to the poor and needy of the neighborhood, as well as to the sick and suffering.
 It all began at a meeting of the executive committee. one of whose members was complaining, in mock despair, that she needed help more than the poor of the village, as ev- erything in her house needed mend ing! In the same breath, woman across the room was saying
 Ladies, what can we do for old Mrs. Alderman? She used to be a good dressmaker, you know, but she cannot run the sewing machine now, with her rheumatism, and she cant get out at all. Yet she wants so much to earn her own living and not be burden to the community"
 Why shouldn't she do my mend ing?" suddenly ejaculated the woman who had first spoken. T could drive by and take it to her and call for 1t again. I'd be glad to pay her well to do it."
 Gan I take her my alarming bas- ket to clean out for me-" sang out another busy housewife.
 "She could hem my new napkins" said another.
 The upshot of that merry confer ence was that old Mrs Alderman, a kindly, smiling old lady, became the Village Mender. In her big chair by the window she sat hour after hour. darning, patching, button holing, hemming.

 Presently the Fairy Queen flew down into the center of the Fairy Ring and waved her tiny wand, then all the fairies jumped from the mush- rooms and circled about her.
 The Raggedys held their rag breaths until the Fairy dance was over then the Fairy Queen laugh ed and asked. Why are you sitting there watching us, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy?"
 Because you are the prettiest dear little Fairies we have ever seen.' Raggedy Ann replied.
 Thank your" said the Fairy Queen to Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. Maybe you do not know 1t, but we watched you take care of Granny and Granny Fieldmouse's house and we will let you make one wish, and have the wish come true."

 Tt would be lovely to wacth the pretty little Fairies come here and dance" Raggedy Ann replied as she sat down upon the soft moss.
 The Raggedys sat near the Fairy Ring for the longest, longest time, but they did not get fidgety. No. Sirs The Raggedys knew that if they just waited long enough, they would get to see the pretty little Fairies come to the Fairy Ring to have dance.
 And sure enough, pretty soon: after the long, long time of waiting; one little Fairy came and sat upon a musroom. Then another and another Fairy flew up and sat upon a mush room, until every mushroom had a fairy seated upon it.

 Perhaps your restlessness. lone sGmeness or anxiety are but manifes- tations of a mental disease.
