With All the rest of the little ones In

her and report to her mother If she
looks at all pale or seems tired during
the course of the morning's work,
Gertrude came to tea with my Jill
nfd Jerry last Saturday, and, really, It
was too funny! r had bought them half
penny currant nuns, two buns for each
'child and one over for mother.
A Limited Menu
Jill and Jerry, with their healthy ap
petites, put nwny a couple of thick slices
of bread and Walter eacii, ami men
started on their ten buns, while Ger
trude wns still nibbling daintily at her
first piece of bread.

nut. If you'll believe me, that child
picked every single currant out of her
tun before she ntc It. Sho ranged them
In a neat row on her Dlnte. while Jerry
watched, his eyes nlmofct popping out of
his head with surprise.
"Why do you do that,'' ho naked at last.
"Mother wont let mo cat currants."
Gertrude replied. "She says they might
make me ill.
And mother won't let hor eat any
sweets because of her troth; or any pas
try because of her complexion; or any
DBh, because she once felt poorly after
too many shrimps at the soaslde; or any
Uncooked fruit, because It mny bo ovor
xipe. And sho mayn't drink tea because
of her nerves; or coffee, becauso It keeps
her awake at night; or unboiled water,
becauso It may have typhoid germs In It;
or unboiled milk, for fear of consumption.
Hcally, I sometimes wonder what sho Is
allowed to- tnkc, poor little dear.
Lonely Exercises
Sho isn't allowed to romp with other
children, because It's too exciting for her
and may mako her nervous; so, in order
tn get enough exercise sho has to swing
Indian clubs and do skipping all by her
nelf In tho back garden. I went In, tho
other night, and found her at her lonely
club exercises. Sho looked quite cheory
about It, for she's a wonderfully sweet
tempered child. If she had beon na pep
pery as my two, I boliove sho would have
run away from home long ngo.
Sho wears seme sort of patent "all
wool" underclothing, sleeps In a particu
lar make of bed, and has special strength
ening salts In her bath. No doubt she
Ioes many other weird things as well, but
I haven't heard of any more so far.
I'm afraid sho'll grow up Into a woman
who "enjoys poor health," nnd Is never
good for much all her life long. Hut It
does seem such a pity, for she's a well
made child with a nice disposition, who
might bo turned Into a happy, hearty,
useful woman by a few years of sensible
(treatment.

MISS HELEN KELLER
THE A CHIE VEMENT
OF HELEN KELLER
A delightful lecture on "Happiness" was
given Inst night In tho Wlthcrspoon Hall
by Miss Helen Keller. Tho gifted young
woman was listened to with great Interest
by a thoroughly appreciative nuillence.
Tho story of Helen Keller, now In tho
early thirties ami (loaf and blind since In
fancy, Is as unparalleled us It Is well
known. The development of this extraor
dinary girl, who nt 7 years of ngo was
dumb as well as totally deprived of the
power or sight, and yel grnuunicii wnn
honors from college at 21, wrote several
successful books, and finally acquired a
speaking voice that enables her to ap
pear on the public lecture platform, is
tho most remarkable achievement In tho
history of education. To realize tho full
Import of these triumphs, nnd of the stu
pendous obstacles which hindered their
nttalnment, Is to agree with Mnrk Twain
in his assertion that "tho two most In
teresting characters of the 13th century
nro Napoleon nnd Helen Keller."
For 27 years Holen Keller's constnnt
companion nnd teacher hns been Mrs.
John Mncy, who as Anna Sullivan first
pointed tho way for the little girl to
emerge from tho darkness Into the light.
It Is difficult for us who havo nil our
normal senses to reallzo tho full Import
of Mrs. Mncy's work. Sho found Helen
with a mind so untaught that It was ab
solutely Ignorant of the fact that things
have names. Fenr. pain, hunger, thirst
these the girl knew, for they were In
stinctive; but of knowledge aH wo under
stand It Helen Kollcr had not tho re
motest sensntlon, nnd all tho ordinary
avenues of acquiring knowledgo were
closed to her. Yet through Mrs. Mncy's
riavntinn nnrt eenlus came a true con
ception of even the suhtler beauties of
the world, nnd so keen Is Helen Keller's
appreciation of nnturo that It seems only
right she should be living now In the
country whero sho can revel among the
fields and woods sho loves so well. And
hero In the country Is her homo nmong
the MoBsachusetts hills, with broad out
looks and grateful sunshine.
Wentham, not so far from Boston, is
as plcturesquo a New England village as
ono would ever hope to find, and, well In
keeping with Its Common and Its white
meeting hou&e. Is tho old Colonial home
of Mr. and Mrs. Mncy, nnd so of Helen
Keller. About the house are evergreens,
from whose needles the sun draws deli
cately resinous odors spruce and pine and
fir, they are. with hero and there tho
feathery plumes of hemlock. Great trees,
too, stand about, the famous elms of New
England. Hospitality and kindliness are
tho keynote of the place, nnd their spell
falls on the visitor as he turns In nt the
gate nnd walks up tho drivo past the row
of rough gray holders of which Miss
Keller wrote so chnrmlngly In "The Song
of the Stone Wall."
Meeting Miss Keller anywhere It Is dif
ficult to believe she Is deprived of the
senses so necessary to most of us. But
to be with her in her home Is to forget
that there are any differences.
She Is In the big sunny room set apart
for her study. Mrs. Mocy Is there, so Is
Mrs. Keller, a charming lady with a de
lightful sense of humor enhancing all
the faculties of which her dnughter is
deprived. She often travels with them
on their lecture tours about tho coun
try, for the relationship between all three
li more than fond.
Very much like an ordinary woman,
Helen Roller seems as she sits there, hor
fingers running rapidly from line to line
of the raised Ilralle type of the book sho
Is reading. No time la ever lost to her;
she has her hours for study, work and
recreation, and she goes about them with
wonderful confidence and precision. With
a knowledge born of long use, one points
out her various typewriters for different
purposes, the Bratle machine for writing
letters to the blind, and nil tho multlude
of things her library and study contain.
Most Interesting of all, perhaps. Is the
collection of books being printed In the
raised type; each of them Is about the
size of the ordinary dictionary. There
Is a certain unconscious satire In the
thought of Green's "Short History of the
English People" being packed away In
about seven of these huge volumes. It
makes one realize what a persistent fight
education has been to this girl, espe
cially as many books could not at first
be secured In the raised type, and Mrs.
Macy had to "read" many df them to her
by meant of the mariuel alphabet.
The whole house Is full of Interesting
thlngB, particularly autographed pictures
of people who have been devoted to this
remarkable girl. No ordinary collection
Is it, but rather a review of America's
genius for the last century, James Rus
sell I-owU Is there, and Mark Twain,
while Joseph Jefferson seems everywhere.
One of Jefferson's great Joys was to not
for Helen Keller, and there are several
pictures of them together, her hands on
his mobile face Interpreting his every
wqrd and mannerism as he enacts soma
part. The love for acting did not depart
with Jeffersen's death, for today Helen
Keller Is a arreat theatregoer. Only at
a theatre. Mrs. Macy, of course, has to
interpret the play to her. A short while
ago they saw David Warfteld, and after
the play Mr. Wajrflald gave a little per
forwu'ria? for Miss Keller, so sha could
read bis faee. Her delight was un
bounded as the great actor's genius oame
to hr through the medium of her Angers'
touch, and the sxpresslon on her sensitive
faee indicated more plainly than words
could bow accurate a conception of the
part aba had format!. Indeed, Helen Kel
ts! 's sense of touch is beyond belief. Not

charnctor ho wns portiaylng. Incident
ally, It showed n thorough acquaintance
with Dickens.
It Is Interesting to see how closely Miss
Keller keeps In touch with the talk
nroimd her. Hardly n thing Is spoken
of which Is not told to her. and sho
takes n lively Interest In nil that Is going
on. If too long nn Interval elapses with
out her being told what Is happening sho
will nsk in the voice which Is her great
accomplishment: "Teacher, what inn
you talking nbout?" Then Mrs. Mncy
will put her hnnd In Miss Keller's, nnd
tho lingers begin to fly. They uso the
same alphabet as the dumb use, only
Miss Keller feels the letters Instead of
seeing them. The speed of the "con
versation" In phenomenal, and Is an
excellent proof of how much tho human
mind can compensnto for losses. Of
course, every ono cannot "talk" llko
this to Helen Keller, so In most casea
she places her hand over the speaker's
mouth and "listens" that way. Sho, of
course, uses her voice now In talking
to every one,
This lip rending and 11b attendant an
swering of questions nro ono of tho great
features of tho lecturo which Miss Kel
ler and Mrs. Macy give. The audlenco
asks the questions, nnd Mrs. Macy re
peats them while Miss Keller reads what
she is saying from her lips. Then, quick
as a flash, Miss Keller makes her an
swor, nnd It is always n very clever
one, to'o. What Is more, sho Is so thor
oughly conversant with the events of
tho world, social, political and scientific,
thut rarely Is n topic touched upon for
which she has not nn answer. As to
business matters, she Is always very
much Interested In her own.
Helen Keller's happiness seems to be
perpetual. A smile Is always on her
face, and sho looks like tho most cheer
ful person In any gathering. This good
humor Is ever present In her conversa
tion, and sho has a wit that Is diffi
cult to get the better of. So It Is little
wonder that sho chose "Happiness" ns
the themo of her new lecture. Even In
her affliction Miss Keller has found the
real happiness of life, nnd she has helped
many others to discover It, too.
A CLEAN BILL OF
HEALTH
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS. Food Expert.
A recent outbreak of typhoid fever
among tho students of Lehigh University
has been traced to a kitchen employe of
tho college commons, This man was a
masculine "typhoid Mary," a carrier of
the germs of the disease. Immune him
self, but Infecting everything he touched
and every one with whom he came In con
tact. The outbreak of fever was a sore pus
zle to the authorities at Lehigh, because
they pride themselves upon keeping
everything at the college precisely as It
bhould be. Every precaution Is taken for
proper sanitation, clean, wholesome food
and everything which Insures good
health, so the appearance of this drended,
filth-born disease was for a time inex
plicable. As It happened, the disease In this case
was easily traced to Its source, for tho
college commons are under such compe
tent management that the testing of em
ployes for evidences that they were car
riers of tho disease came as a natural
consequence of the failure to discover
anything wrong In the dormitories or
anywhere else. But how about the ordi
nary restaurant?
It has been somewhat difficult to obtain
adequate supervision of the physical
health of the persons who prepare and
handle foods. Lehigh University presents
a concrete case of the transmission of a
dangerous disease through the medium of
food that was In itself clean and whole
some. Tbe testing of the kitchen man
was merely a caso of the usual tardy
locking of the stable door. Had he been
tested before he was employed, there
would have been no epidemic
Considering the constant presence of
this danger, It is amazing that so little
attention s paid to it. Every sort of
effort Is being made to keep the milk sup
ply pure and wholesome; to see that foods
aro fresh and unadulterated; that sanita
tion In houses, shops and factories shall
be the best that It Is possible to procure;
but no one seems to think It necessary
that those who have to do with manu
facturing or handling foods must have
clean bills of health.
A few sporadlo efforts have been made
toward securing the exclusion from
laundries, bakeries and food factories of
persons suffering from tuberculosis and
venereal diseases, but so far not an ef
fort has been made to safeguard the pub
lic who frequents hotels and restaurants.
References are demanded from employes
regarding their ability and trustworthl
new. but apparently no one goes to the
trouble to ascertain whether or not they
are sound physically. Some of the most
dangerous diseases, especially in their
early stages, give no outward sign of
their presence and tbe ease of the typhoid
carrier is literally a freak among diseases,
because only a test reveals the presence
of the dangerous germs.
As a rule, kitchen employes, whether of
the hotel, restaurant or borne, have but a
haay conception of sanitation and bodily
elaanUncas and are both Ignorant of and
iii4t$4eMt to the necessity of taking any
uuiutku to trevettt otners rrom oe

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY NOVKMIJKK S, 1014.
Modes of the Hour
Xt Is predicted that the next Influx of
fashions will be of Belgian origin! that
Is fp say, that the Belgian peasant garb
and tho Belgian uniforms wilt furnish
the motifs for the wearing apparel of the
near future.
Skirts are beginning to look as If Hot
land had had something to say In their
fashioning. The fulness Is not confined
to the bottom of the newest skirts.
Gathers and shirring at the waist are
seen In so many of the frocks that nre
given a prominent place In the window
displays of the best shops, that the seven
days' wonder hns subsided.
Tile American Fashion Fete, early In
November, showed skirts that were longer
In the front and the bnok than at the
sides. It Is a rather daring fashion, but
a distinctly pretty one It the chaussure
shows perfection and It the ankte Is
well turned.
The little frock sketched today Is one
of the simple affairs that has unmistak
ably the quality we call smart.
The skirt Is circular and It Is cut with
a Bharp point In the front and another
In the back. We have long worn over
skirts cut nfter this model, but with the
frock In question, there Is not a trace,
a vestige, not oven a soupcon of a drop
skirt underneath.
And In case the skirt should not call
attention to itself, of Itself, there Is a
band of velvet to accent Its somewhat
audacious cut.
That we still have uses for tho kimono
sleeve Is Illustrated again today. The
surplice bodice Is one of the easiest to
cut, one of the most simple designs that
there Is. When It Is becoming, it Is very
much td, but It cannot bo worn by every
one.
A band of velvet outlines the surplice
neck of tho aamo width as that employed
by the skirt. One might almost at
tribute tho distinction of the dress to Its
lack of fur trimming If that were not
fashion heresy.
The material Is silk of Kaiser gray,
that wonderful color Indeterminate like
tho sky and the sea In "falling weather,"
to uso a nautical phrase. It has some
thing of blue in it, llko a London fog,
nnd, like all elusive things that wo can
never quite capture, It holds us with
Its charm.
The hat worn with tho dress Is
audacious, too, and so Is tho bit of a
muff. A Scotch bonnet with Prince of
Wnles feathers appears to bo In har
mony. Certainly the combination Is dash
ing and pleasing, too.
It seems as If there would be a raid
on children's furs In the near future,
and his Christmas Majesty may have a
perplexing time when ho compares the
size of furs with the size of the stock
ings for which they are Intended.
A child's muff cut In two mnkes a pair
of cuffs of Just about the right size,
while a child's neckpiece Is really larger
than many a tour do cou or a collaretto.
Ono can give It tho sophisticated look
of maturity by adding something very
Frenoh In the way of nosegays, or a
bow or quilling or plaiting of ribbon
or velvet. A new Bet of collar nnd cuffs
Is achieved at a minimum of expense.
Wise Sayings
Tell tho truth nnd shame tho family.
A lie In time saves nine.
Being good Is nn awful lonesome Job.
If one half of tho world doos not know
how tho othor half llvoi, It's not the fault
of the woman next door.
The greatest trial of married life Is not
to bo ablo to take advantage of the ex
cuse yoti know your wife would believe.
Which?
"And how Is your old friend Wilson?"
"Poor chap! He Is delivered from his
long sufferings."
"Yes? But you haven't told me whether
It Is he who In dead or his wife."
FOR THE COOK
blamed; for if their presumably better
Informed employers neglect such precau
tions, why should they brother about It?
If tho typhoid carrier wcro the only
menace, the problem would be simplified
to a great degree. But unfortunately a
large percentage of those who cook, pre
pare and Berve foods are low grade work
ers, mostly foreigners, and both tuber
culosis and venereal diseases are appall
ingly common among them. It Is a well
known fact that the Latin races are liter
ally honeycombed with hereditary syphi
lis. The fact Is accepted and regarded
with Indifference. So long as they are
able to work, they concern themselves
little about their afflictions, and that they
are sources of danger to other people
troubles them not at all.
It Is wholly the fault of the employers
that syphilitic and tuberculous employes
are found In public and private kitchens.
In factories, laundries, etc. These per
sons cannot be blamed If they are em
ployed without question concerning their
physical fitness to handle foods. There
Is not ono case In a thousand where a
victim of either of these diseases has
any acute consciousness of being & vic
tim. No proprietor of a restaurant or a
hotel would think for a moment of em
ploying any one suffering from scarlet
fever, smallpox, diphtheria or any of the
more spectacular diseases; yet they do
not hesitate to give work that 'is most
Intimately concerned with the health of
all patrons of these establishments to
persons suffering with tuberculosis, syphi
lis or other diseases of the sort which do
not Immediately Incapacitate them.
What la needed most of all Is to give
the State and city boards of health full
control over public eating places as re
gards their sanitation, the cleanliness and
wbolesomeness of the foods served and
the health of those who prepare and
serve them. It Bhould be a prison offense
for the proprietor of any public eating
house to employ a servant who is af
flicted with a communicable disease or
who Is a "carrier," Such precautions
would not be dlffloult. If public opinion
demanded It they would be taken. If
the restaurant that could show a health
certificate for every employe, as well as
clean tables and germleas Ice boxes, were
given the support and patronage of the
community to the exclusion of the care
lessly kept restaurant, the business sense
of every restaurant keeper would Boon
respond to such a practical demonstra
tion of the power of public opinion.

A DAINTY LITTLE FROCK
THE STUBBORN GIRL
"Molly makes me tired. I never saw
a girl like her, anyhow. I went over there
tho other day nnd she and Jim woro
arguing, as usual. For newlyweds I
think they're awful. I never heard people
wranglo bo. She doesn't moan to be
arose, but she gets an opinion In her head
and you can't got It out. I'd Just ns soon
bump up against n stone wall as that
BlrJ."
"Poor Jim Is Just dear to hor, too. Ho
says she's decided In her opinions, but
that's only becauso ho Is In love. It may
scorn nice now to have the law laid down
by a pretty tyrant, but believe me wait
until she's threo or four years older."
Tho rest of the threat wns left un
said, perhaps because It was too sad to
contemplate. Surely a man Is tho first to
tire of a stubborn, boesy woman. Sho
makes the homo a placo of misery by her
continuous arguing. Tho most peaceful
of husbands, desiring nothing more In
Ilfn than a. quiet pipe nnd his evening
pnper, dare not express his humble opin
ion. The strange thing about tho stub
Woman and Her Ways
Woman Is a perpotunl paradox, n rld
dlo without an answer. She Is man's
greatest and earliest blessing, yet tho
cause of most of his misery.
Sho soothes his tired nervesi with tho
muslo of hor gentle voice, but she always
has tho last word In any dlsousslon with
htm, and about 87 per cent, of tho pre
ceding conversation.
Most of his trouble Is causod by her,
but so cleverly does she pile the load on
him that whenever hlB burden of trouble
Is lifted he wanders about uneasily hunt
ing for more.
Otherwise there would be but very few
second wives.
She scorns all advice In tho choice of
a,hUBband, but she takes two friends with
her to help her select a hat. Tho less
actual comfort there Is to be had from
a thing the moro enjoyment she gets out
of Its possession.
She will face the grim spectre of death
without a tremor, but swoon at the sight
of a mouse. Sho Is the dearest thing In
all the world and the most aggravating.
She Is as she Is, nnd that Is all there
Is to it.
The only man who ever understands her
Is the ono who knows that he does not
understand her, and has enough sense to
let It go at that.
Odd Crusts of Bread
The Good Cook Says
I turn all odd crusts of bread Into plain
Plum puddings, and my people never yet
discovered that In this favorite dish they
eat the "bread pudding made from left
over bits." which they all say they so
much dislike!
The crusts are put through a mincing
mnchlne, mixed with an equal weight of
flour, a llttlo sugar, suet, and a few rais
ins, put Into a basin and steamed for
several hours,
I make a little batch of three or four
at a time, as If hung In a dry, airy place
they will keep good for a couple of
weeks, and only need rebolllng when re
quired. VERTIGO OR
Have you ever been troubled by a sud
den giddiness, aort of a nauseated feel
ing, which makes you want to lie down
and stay there until things stop revolv
ing? This Is nature's own warning that
your stomach Is in bad condition and
that your system In general needs care
ful hyglenlo treatment. Dieting is usually
necessary, too, if the case is a stubborn
one.
It you are a very great lover of eggs,
the reason is clear. Nothing Is so con
ducive to biliousness as eggs. They are
very indigestible when cooked, and If
taken at all, should be taken raw. Give
up all rich, greasy foods, and avoid par
ticularly the highly seasoned ones. Live
as much as possible on milk, stale broad,
green vegetables and lean meat This
may be trying at first, but you will soon
show results It you stick to it. Take no
tea or coffee for a while, say two or three

THAT CAN BE EASILY COPIED

becauso they fall to conform to her own

"Laura Is such an ugly girl," said ono
of these women the othor day. "She
hasn't nice teeth, or nlco eyes, nnd her
hair Is awfully straight. If It wasn't
for hor clothes nobody would o'cn notlco
her. Whnt people seo In hor I can't say.
I prefer blondes, nnywny. I llko a girl
that's full of life and ready for a good
tlmo nt any hour. Sho's too quiet for
me."
Tho utter lock of logic In such a criti
cism Is very evident whon It Is empha
sized In this way, but women listen to
opinions llko this every day and think
nothing of It. Toil can romember say
ing something like It yourself, for few
fall to make this mistake. We forget
that If people fail to come up to our
Ideals tho fault Is more likely to bo with
tho Ideals themselves than with the peo

When Did You Sneeze?
Hero Is a most amusing old rhyme
which Informs us the Importance former

appears that the days of the week were
significant In this matter.
Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger;
Sneeza on Wednesday, have a letter;
Sneeze on Thursday, something better;
Sneeze on Friday, expeot Borrow;
Sneeze on Saturday, gay tomorrow;
Sneeze on Sunday, morning fasting.
Your love will love you to everlasting.
If, therefore, ono can arrange that oolds

A Visitor Says
I was callng the other day on an old
lady who keeps no maid, she wont out
of tho room and I heard the rattle of
china. It suddenly occurred to me that
she was having tea prepared for me
As I was going on to tea with another
friend, it seomed to me such a pity that
sho should havo the trouble, so I called
out: "Please don't trouble to get tea for

she coolly replied, "I wasn't meaning

Why I Like My Place
By "Domestic Help"
Considering that I've only been In my
new eHmtlon n few weeks, some people
might cay that It Is early days to talk
about liking or not liking It, but I made
up my mind that I wan going to like It
the day I arrived.
This Is the first illme I've taken a post
In a large town. How my mother teasod
me before I left home! She eald I'd have
to wear my flngnrs to tho bono to keep
paco with tho dirt; and as we knew that
the maid before mo had loft for several
days, mother Imagined that tho place
would be In n. mess.
I wish mother could have seen the
Toome that wore handed over to me. They
wero all as clean as If they'd been spring
cleaned. My mistress Informed me that
she had had tho charwoman In, and that
aho'd been through the house.
It Wns a Surprise
It was a nlco surprise for me, I can
tell you. Many ladles would have Baved
the cost of ii charwoman, thinking that
the new irrald might Just as well do the
cleaning up. Finding the place spouoss
mado alt the difference to mo.
I wanted H
to keep It so.
When tho mistress took mo up to my
bedroom I couldn't help an exclamation
of delight. It was such a dainty room.
Not that It was any larger, nor wan
the furnlturo any flnor, than that In
rooms I'd been given before, but every
thing wns so clean.
There wns a placo for hanging my
dresses In ono corner, with a curtain
over that matched the curtains at the
window. When I opened the drawers of
tho dressing table I found them all fresh
ly lined with white paper.
I have opened drawers before today,
and found curl papors, combings, and bits
of rubbish to be cleared out before I could
use them.
"Now, Jennie," said my new mistress,
"this Is your room, and I hope you'll like
It and be happy hero."
Sho did not add that sho hoped I'd take
a prldo In keeping It nice, but somcholw
she managed to mako me feel that she
took that for granted.
Two Hours to Settle In
My trunk had arrived with mo, and I
was told that I might take two hours
to unpack and get my things straight.
I started straight away, nnd when I'd
hung up my frocks, filled tho drawers,
and put out my photographs and bits of
things, I looked round with pride.
Instead of the homo-slok feeling that
usually sweopa over me In a atrangu
place, I began to feel at home.
This feeling Increased when I went
FJ3M0H jo ogua ti ereM. ojowji rjrnitfUAiop
on tho kitchen table, and tw! my tea
was laid. Mistress heard me come down
and she came out. She told me to have
my tea, nnd then she'd show ma where
somo of the thlngB were kept, and talk
to me about ray work.
She'd actually arranged that dinner
that night should be cold, so that I could
get off to bed earlyl
You don't know the difference It made
to me, not being expeoted to tumblo to
nt once. I got a good nlghf a rest after
my rather long Journey for the mattress
wasn't all lumps, like some I'vo slept on
and started next day determined to do
my very best.
Regular Time. Off
In some of my places I've been on my
feet all dny. I've had mistresses who
made Jobs for me If they thought I'd
got a minute to spare. But my present
mistress Isn't a bit like that.
She Insists that the time from 3 o'clock
until 4 o'clock shall bo mine to do as I
like with. I may sew or read, just as
i iiKe, out i must use that hour for my
self. If I get done earlier than usual, she
Is pleased. She never says;
"Oh, Jennie, as you've finished your
work, you might turn out thut cupboard ;
then go and pull up tho weeds on the
garden path."
No; we have our proper times for every
thing there Is to be done, and we keep to
them.
Sometimes I get up earlier than I need,
to get the work forward. During the hot
weather I like to do this, so that I need
not work so hard during tbe hottest part
of the day. I once did the same when
It was my day off. so that I should have
time to Iron my muslin frock before Z
dressed.
