I 1 have wondered a little at this but on thorough reflection to the conclusion that much come L I 1 have of it is due to the large proportion of yankee descendants in the territory leaders and the founders of xa most 0 of f our of puritan descent and true this were e traditions of their fathers and the to mothers our people are exceedingly we are not however busy as busy grandmothers were busy and the our has arisen what are we all question gusy busy aba about ut TIRE THE BUSY GIRL if you meet our girls on the street at or oi call to see them each and a 0 ty hiie one of them will tell you she is every that she cannot fin find id a moment so busy to what one girl tells you to isso yes 0 she cant find time to call he so busy she I 1 s that is apt to be the girl you and see who it if her school days are over is a member of one or two cwb clubs or associations who has to attend to the buying and planning of her dresses and who is overworked with the arrangement of so her own hardro wardrobe be that she has small time to do anything andthil ig else another type who wa has aas more than time is the girl giri enough to to call and see you but who is occupied ed calling and scein seeing you and so mccu pa t has her other friends that she as not a write to an absent to moment momen t to spare friend or to mend her own stockings another girl is so busy going out into society that she has no time for visiting efting writing or mending and yet any one of these girls will have plenty 0 v sj A stand cand on the street corner comer and with for an i hour or two or she Z talk you perhaps yawn or sigh over some whole afternoon or she will novel a hive have hours of time tim e t to 0 spend in parading 9 and down the principal rin cipal street in t the he up town to see an and b be e seen and if the girls have lave all plenty nty of 0 f time to tb spend in pastimes artimes that some of us would cau call waste of time how w is it with the married THE BUSY YOUNG WIFE oh yes she is exceedingly busy she has a aw whole ole house to tt keep and that means three meals a day for john and herself and then of course there are all her fancy things to make and arrange sho she has bas to drape tier her pictures and walls waft and she will wil tell you that she dont don t understand how it is that some people can run out and gossip gossi ply she never has as gi a minute why it takes her a day to dust and arrange her little parlor and so you excuse her from calling or writing nl or attending the Y L M I 1 L is so terribly busy THE BUSY MOTHER well yes any one can see that a mother is busy bipsy but as an ordinary onlooker I 1 have been b aen unable to see a any y dil difference in the comparative V 1 of f mozer mother with one oge re 9 a child C hi arit and the math mother er of thirteen h 9 I 1 have ave tried to ta solve this chii s I 1 an and tave ave at last dope done so on the general I 1 principles will al transpire in the course of this chat on busy women the mother of one will spend hours of time dressing making dresses for her baby playing with it und and showing it off on to her friends of course she is what she calls busy every moment of her time from six or seven in the mom ing until ten or eleven at night is filled with worry and work or rather employment the mother of twelve if she be housewife seamstress cook nurse and mother certainly seems to have enough not only to occupy her but to keep her exceedingly exceed angly busy but is there one way whereby even her cares can be lessened I 1 think so and usually such a mother has had to work out for herself the problem that is just now occupying our weekly time for chat As a sort of finger board to that desired en end d I 1 let e t me I 1 point int out to the seeking mother that if she is angwill and will be the mother of little heavenly emigrants much of the condition of her life will rest upon the wa way in which she ae manages her baby gow how can you manage anage a baby asks a mother in despair despa urt dont the babies always manage us again I 1 answer I 1 think not not always but we will di discuss escuss that point some other week meanwhile let me remark in passing that the mother who has one or a dozen babies and the youngest of them is in her arms night and day clay is drag dragging V ng away at her lite life and vitality in the we night through constant nursing and who fills eve every ant moment of her waking hours with baby demands for cake candy rocking c carrying a rr i about in the arms and riding in the te baby a by carriage such a mother is I 1 admit it with profound pity indrea indeed in infinitely finitely busy again ig it necessary again I 1 afis answer I 1 think not THE BUSY CHILDLESS WIFE indeed my friend these good sisters of ours are often as busy and as little able to spend a half hour in writing you a letter or in attending a meeting as are the mothers of a dozen children and what do they do oh there are of course meals to get dishes to wash or it they keep a girl they are taking lessons in in something or they are knitting anti macas sars or crocheting ing lace which requires ten days time to make and andis is worth forty cents or they are reading a wonderful novel by the duchess or perhaps God bless such they are officers in some or of our associations and have many little odds and ends of duties to perform in that calling of theirs any way they too are undeniably busy THE grandmothers and are they busy too I 1 must say that the most of the women I 1 know over sixty are even busier than are their daughters who are raising children usually among our people the grandmothers are active members of of the relief society if they are not that some of them in id our temple districts are temple workers and those who have not this ledge are busy making quilts 11 helping jane and mary wit with their air children or spending their time in in some quiet occupation which perfectly en them take any class or style of woman question her and she will invariably answer she is so busy buoy she dont know whit what to do with herself and now w is there any little lesson for us in all his talk or of outs ours ut let we me answer again aga I 1 think so in the first place will any of youtaka you take the time to ask yourselves what am I 1 busy at what is the main object t of my life to what am I 1 giving my life and strength how many hours am I 1 spending in the real business of life and how many am I 1 filling with trifling occupations I 1 am afraid if even evem the busy mother of twelve children could carefully consider and then ther ianswer answer that question her conscience would smite her and she would find an opportunity for a much needed reform girls be sure your associations are of the highest your
