What a gain for repose and beauty, to fay nothing; of space and care. It these objects could bo eliminated. ELIMINATING NON-ESSENTIALS Can you remember tho delight It gavo you when a little child to havo ft-v your m 0 1 h e rs I fr idBflBT friends remember J " nJBi J'ou w,tn a D0X "Oi ribbons nnd laces -SSVy 'or your "8' or SESOrjJr J a picturo or vase Hi lrrilr t0T your pmx" "Dnjr houso and ten JF HEBVf (able? If you do. Just remember there aro" llttlo children, chil-dren, perhaps next door, or If not, easy to find, who will ho delighted with gifts from you of things not needed or used by you. It Is hard sometimes to part with cherished things, but progress bids .us throw off these hampering things, that we may bo freo to accomplish work worth while. During tho hot weather tho housewife house-wife who Is cook, nurse and mother needs to conscrvo her strength for the things worth while, which are keeping sweet nnd happy, saving herself physically by making housowork as easy as possible In many homes where nono or little help Is hired, tho children If trained can do n largo sharo of the work, but often tho mother rather docs It herself her-self than to bother with the mistakes and Inefficiency of the chlldrcp. If it were only for tho children's sake, It is wlso that each has his dally work; it fits him later for better work and a greater appreciation of what the keeping keep-ing of a heme means. There has never been anything truer ever written or said, than that we will find time to do the things wo want to do. In homes where there are no servants to lighten labor, much of the former displays of linens for the table have been laid away. The bare table with doltcys Is used for oil meals. Whcro help is scarce, if the pretty llttlo decorated oilclojh oblongs and lunchcloths nro used with paper nap. kins, a largo part of tho tablo laundry Is eliminated. The shortest and surest way to live with honor In the world. Is to bo In reality what we would appear to be: II human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by practice and experience of them.
