THE TIMES. ' ,
(Copyright, 1908, by Christine Terhune
" ' - V ' Herrlck.) . . . '
The woman who attempts to hold her
own has her work cut out 'for her, : A
- man' may. If he la in luck, have a certain
'unity about his occupations, v -'A -woman
.'who tries to keep' up with th times is
a rooh Bah in petticoats. ' She is a num-
ber of thin its in succession and. never
any one thing long. . She fills a- posi
tion on one side of the stage and then
goes to the other side. In 'a fresh -ca-fPaoHyv
.Unlike the .original Pooh Bah
.slie does not draw a salary for each pur
suit- Instead of this,, she usually has
. the .privilege of finding virtue Its own
,Bid only .reward. .
The woman who does : not keep up
.witn tne tiroes, mnrta into monotony.
. Tills is a blunder. . r
, Never should you let yourself get into
a rut, my. friend the housekeeper.. It
does not pay, i Perhaps it may seem to
lighten, labor -..to .have the. wheels .run
in a groove, but in the long' run and
often in , the short run, too it will be
.found. to be a mistake. . If it is your
sense op duty that puts you and keeps
you there, go to work to try to remodel
your. perception j of. what . constitutes
duty If you. have a ,Kfew England con-
. science of the virulent type, take chlo
roform ' and haye. It extracted. Some
times the roots go too deep for this, and
.then the only thing that will help is con
,t!nt.;treatmer,t., ; y '-ufii :i
. Tl woman who means -to. hold, her
.own , should . consider -seriously,, what her
.own,. i, : '.Jlrst .and v, foremost, she 'will
probably tell you, are those, who belong
.tot her household. They must be cared
tfor, fed sand clothed.. Granted, r But
i men likewise women and cblldren-do
j not live by bread alone, and the life is
imore than raiment We .all of us know
. homes where the bodies of the Inmates
-arefed anf the ' souls and spirits go
i starved. . .;.'
Once upon, a time-knew a home
' where everyone was happy, ' It was a
badly kept house from one point of
(view. " The mother was no housekeeper,
and she knew it. There were holes in
the linen, slits . In the window shades,
' frayed spots in the -carpets. .. The ser
vice of the table could only be described
as higgledy-piggledy. Yet I have never
known a more united family. There
may have been' cracks In the china, but
there was none in the domestic unity.
The children were loving and obedient,
tne lather and mother were companion-)
able and charming. - j
Of course. It was not because the
house was in rags and splinters. It
might have been patched and the family
' peace still unbroken. - But anyone who
had to choose between living In such a
;home and in a domain presided over by
the kind of gorgon known as a "naaty-
particular" housekeeper would not have
.hesitated for a moment, He would have
.preferred godliness to cleanliness, and
taken it at the first offer.
.- Either of these illustrations 1s an ex
treme and this Is what the woman who
holds her own strives to avoid. The
.,'iiuuic wuiwmai iihs .oeen oencriDea
as golden is the epd of her efforts. ,
In order to win this she should lay
to heart the 1 ruth that something must
be crowded, out. ; One woman; with o.ie
head, one back,' one set of nerves, hands
and feet, cannot accomplish everything.
If she does, there is very little left of
the woman but a lot of assorted frag'
ments and the memory, of a strenuous
life,.' There are far better things than
these to put into the family collection.
When moderisurgery reaches the point
where It is possible to insert new back.
and replace defective nerves; a woman
may accomplish all she wishes she could
do. and all a mere man minus sne
might 'do. - Until then she must be con
tented to-be as the Creator made her.
, There is a choice -in what may bo
crowded out. I have spoken of the ad
vantage of diversity of . occupation. A
woman, must' not ,be all housekeeper lest
she neglect the weightier matters of
the law. She must not be all wife, for
fear' her children ;' should, ' suffer, nor
should she be all mother, under penalty
pof causing her .husband to feel, like, an
Imposed upon boarder in his own home.
Still less should she, in her desire to
keep step with the march "of events out
side, 'devote ; herself so unreservedly to
Women's Clubs, Mothers' Meetings and
Cooking , Classes " that her '- children
bring themselves up by hand and her
husband finds his only satisfactory gas
tronomic greeting at the club or the res
taurant. - In the ghoulish phrase' of a
sprightly . young 'man, 1 she does not
wish either to keep In front with the
hearse or come, trailing along -at the
back with the buggies, .;;
It is no small thing to be a wife and
mother -and the fools, who yearly rush
into a relation where angels- might-well
fear; to ; tread -open a terrlfyJrig prospect
for the future of ; the rra'ce. -Still, the
fools are not In, the majority, and the
greater part of the women who make
mistakes do it through Ignorance and
false sense of proportion. When we
start classes In girls' schools for the
study of a perspective that is not that
of drawing and a proportion that is not
to be found in the arithmetics we may
hops better things for the future of the
nation. " , ; '
In the meantime "don't throw things
at the performers they are doing their
best." Their very best, poor things!
It is not the fault of the young girl that
she has not been trained for the great
career of wifehood and - motherhood
that. If God is good' to her, lies ahead
of .her. As It Is, i she can only do her
possible. - '--'- t ,': '
It is a big thing when a women has
learned how to make : a man , happy,
though married, how to bring up chil
dren so that they, will -be as much com
fort as possible to their families and as
little nuisance as feasible to the neigh
bors, to keep house so that no one but
the house would suspect that It did not
keep itself, to manage a servant so that
she. will not , look upon the mistress as
her natural enemy, ,to be ready in hos
pitality without making It a burden, to
be on good Jerms with the neighbors,
near or far, without condescending to
pettiness, to-be a member of a woman's
club without .leaving the stockings un
darned, to attend church without losing
her temper on Sunday morning, to post
herself Upon current events without tak
ing ihe pa par f rom herlrasband at the
breakfast, table, to read a new book oc
casionally, to practice outdoor exercise
enough to keep herself In good bodily
trim, to dress herself tastefully with
out forming colossal , bins, to bestow
sufficient attention upon her figure and
facet to preserve her good looks, and
