HOU Can You Anpuse Your Children?

When one baby IL three years
old and the other il just learning
to walk. and there is no servant
to help ease the load, life is no
bed Of roses for q poung woman.
It can be q CHASTITY thing, II the
girl Is inclined to make the worst
of it. But II she can realize that
millions Of other women are carry
ing the same burden, and that
she is performing the biggest serv'
ice that any of Gods children can
possibly render, it will give her
courage to go "smillin' through.
This il what the mother Of
two grown children said recently
on that subject: AS I look back
over my married life I have only
one big thing to regret: that Is,
that I did not go through my
hard experiences more gracefully
and more graciously. ] made
myself and my husband miserable
with my whining and my COM
planning. !. That neither relieved
me of doing my duty nor made It
any easier to do IF had 1t to
g6 over should only live one
dny at q time. and should live
that day with as good grace ss
possible"
IL young mothers could reach
into the future and grab the wis
dom that will be theirs in later
years, what lot of useless, worry
and heartache that would save:
Then they would live through the
hard hours somehow; snatch a
few moments Of happiness any
how and leave the rest to work
