N THESE exciting times try
to live one day at a time,
l. and do your best by that
day.
Take it hour by hour and min
ute by minute, and polish those
fragments of time as if each one
was priceless-which indeed it
is.
Stop worrying along vague
and general lines, and take
firmly into your hands those
lines God has given you to hold.
Ask yourself how much serenity
and cheerfulness and courage
you impart to the family circle;
whether it's members like to get
home to you-look to you for in
spiration and comfort and reas-
surance.
You may be very sure that in the
great first war that gave us Amer
lea, that gave us our new world of
independence, there were women
who were frightened, sneering, de-
spairing, doubtful, helpless.
There were other women who held
firmly to hope and courage through
the darkest hours, who knew that
the ideals for which their men were
fighting were the true ideals, who
never lost heart or faith.
They had mighty little to go on,
those early colonial women who saw
the shabbiness, the poverty, the lack
of training, the six-week enlist
ments, the treachery of congress
when Washington's ragged army
was marching. But that didn't mat
ter. They knew that issues in this
life aren't decided by anything you
can write on blackboard or prove
by a chart. They knew that the
final and deciding factor is what is
in mems hearts and souls, and of
that they were sure.
Be Brave-It's Contagious.
Solve YOUR problem today, with
charity and energy and cheerful
ness, and never doubt that that
bravery will unite itself to a thou
sand-a million more scraps of
bravery and hope everywhere in the
world, and bring us all out to a
freer and happier future.
Keep the house clean and peace
full. Keep your own soul and mind
the same. Keep out of agitating
arguments and contentious; don't let
anyone scare or depress you with
glib predictions of dismay and ruin,
and if you must think of the mad
house that is Europe today think of
it with prayer.
These are the days in which to see
life as an adventure, not a fiowery
stroll through the Garden of Eden.
Sometimes scary adventure, some
times a breath-taking adventure, but
of nothing of which to be afraid
except fear. Don't let children hear
discouraged talk; don't let the man
of the house come to discourage
ment.
An Optimistic Spirit Marches On.
You've of course had the expert
ence of sometimes meeting a friend
in the market or at the club-a
friend who is irrepressibly optimis-
tic and heartening. She doesn't
know any more about world condi-
tions than anyone else, but at that
she probably knows as much as the
smartest politician, statesman or
press agent does.
She says that things are better
everywhere. Peoples spirit is Won
derful. The nations we love are
showing wonderful courage, and the
nations we dislike are merely mis-

Well, you may not fully believe her
but what a tonic she isl In spite of
yourself you find yourself more hope
full; and when you quote her at home
everyone else partakes of the same
hope.
Civilization Will Survive.
And why not? She is at least as
reasonable as the fearful and dismal
prophets who see nothing but gloom
ahead. For all wars HAVE ended,
and although Napoleon and Crom-
well and many others were all sup
posed to destroy civilization in their
day, and wipe great nations from
the face of the earth, somehow they
never did. Sanity crept back again,
schools reopened, fields were soWn;
mourning and poverty held sway for
awhile, and then the spring came
back, and with it lovers and ilacs
and new plans.
After the war the world is going
to need everything that we can give
it of help and service. They are
going to need food, over there,
clothes, bedding, medicine, tools.
We have to be ready with all that,
and the only way we can give it is
to get our own house in order.
Solve Americas problems; lessen
the need for relief; lessen unemploy-
ment; replace un-American plots
and ''isms" with a good healthy re-
vival of the spirit that created the
Declaration of Independence.
And that has to begin with individ-
ual homes like yours and mine.
Homes free of debt and disorder, of
complaining and discomfort. One
million such homes, scattered all
over the continent, would be the be-
ginnings of a new America. Ten
million would make us the strongest,
happiest, richest, most independent
nation on the earth.
Put Own House in Order.
So do your share by establishing
one small unit of perfection. A
home in which man and woman
love each other and their children.
A home with clean, warm kitchen,
and a little garden, and telephone
and a radio and a gas stove and an
electric refrigerator. A home to
which outsiders look with admira-
ton and envy. A home with books
in it, and winter fires, and laugh
ter, and flag, and pleasant voices.
One small oasis of perfection in
turbulent and troubled world. For
it is only when we get many such
tiny solved individual problems that
we can hope to solve the bigger ones.
Too few women-honestly eager to
do their part in great national crises,
forget that those crises are caused
and brought on by the inefficiency
and ignorance and discomfort of
millions of apparently unimportant
citizens who won't live the day for
the day, and the hour for the hour,
and make perfect those things they
do control and so lift from the world
just one more fraction of it's age-old
pain.
