Yea, even. before she ariseth in
the morning, is HE in her
thoughts, and she sleepeth with

When she giveth orders for the
day she consulteth HIS tastes and
remembereth his preferences. 4
While she .putteth her house in.
order, while she smootheth the
bed and dusteth the piano, 1t is
of HIM that she dreameth.
When she goeth forth to do her
shopping, all her thoughts are,
1T wonder If He will like THIS
and "WilI He stand for THAT?'
"Will his wrath fall upon me for
this extravaganza" and viii he
think me beautiful in that?
While she eateth her luncheon,
she considereth her seals hips,
resisteth the tempting potato and
alluring sweet meat, lest she gain
a quarter of a pound and find
herself unlovely in His sight.
