For "Woman’s Work.
MY VALENTINE.
BY SADA BALLARD.
‘TVj H wbat care I for offerings of pearls? Ah, what care I for gowns of silk,
Zl lA For sapphires or for rubies rare— Or costliest of lace?
To lock within a velvet case There’s naught of value half so great,
And watch with anxious care? As my baby’s happy face.
No gems on earth, however grand, All of Klondike’s gold could not allure,
Are even half so fair Nor bring to me such rest,
As the rosy tint on Baby’s cheek As this I feel when Baby’s head
Or the sunshine in her hair. Is pillowed on my breast.
For Woman’s Work.
MRS. FOLLOW AND MRS. LEAD.
WTT RS. FOLLOWS family consists of
A VIA herself, husband, and four little
Follows—two large enough to attend
school, and two small enough to remain at
home. She prides herself on being a meth
odical housekeeper as in ‘‘Ye olden days,”
rigidly adhering to: Monday, wash; Tues
day, iron; Wednesday, bake; Thursday,
sew; Friday, sweep; Saturday, bake, scrub
and prepare for Sunday. She arises Mon
day morning before the lark, and has a
steaming boiler on the stove and the floor
strewn with soiled clothing when her hus
band—who is a mechanic, and must be at
work early—gets around to a breakfast
made up principally of half-warmed left
overs from Sunday’s dinner.
She has the toilets of the school chil
dren to superintend, and by the time they
are out of the house and the younger ones
attended, it is nine o’clock and she is
washing the breakfast dishes. Not for
worlds would she have allowed Mazie and
Harold to do them; no one should ever say
that she made drudges of her children!
The sitting and dining rooms are sadly
disordered; the Sunday papers are scat
tered about, the children’s picture books
are lying around, and the rooms are not
entirely free of wearing apparel. The
carpets are dusty and strewn with clip
pings of paper, and the baby’s toys have
found resting places in the parlor; but with
“Monday, wash,” before her mind’s eye,
Mrs. Follow has no time to fritter away.
She dashes hurriedly into the tub of suds,
but before she is half through it is time to
get dinner.
Mr. Follow and the children come at
noon into a damp and sudsy home, to par
take of a hastily prepared dinner of under
done chops and potatoes in their jackets,
with the remainder of the left-overs, all
huddled together in helter-skelter fashion,
for everything bows down to—“ Monday,
wash.” After the meal is over and all of
the family who can get away have gladly
departed, Mrs. Follow puts the youngsters
by for their nap and hustles into the wash
ing once more. By the time this is done
and the dishes washed, school is out, and
she is very tired. The children dodge
around warily, and betake themselves out
of doors—the mother doesn’t inquire
where; she is only too glad to have them
out of the way while she scrubs the kitch
en floor, with painfully aching limbs and
a temper in unison with the aches. Then
she finds so many articles to put away that
it takes her some time; she can give the
rooms but a “lick and a promise” of sweep
ing, when the supper hour stares her in
the face.
Another slapped-together meal is placed
before the family. Mrs Follow feels worn
out. She is in full sympathy with the
originator of “Blue Monday.” Neverthe
less, she remembers with a sigh that
“woman’s work is never done,” and sits
until near midnight stitching away, as if
for dear life on a dress for little Aura,
that has sixteen tucks down the front of
waist, same number down the back, and
twenty-eight in the skirt. The children
go to bed with the shadow of their mother’s
gloom upon them, and Mr. Follow mut
ters: “No wonder women fade so early
in life.”
Tuesday there is early rising and head
ache. The clothes are sprinkled, break
fast over, and the children off to school.
An inspection of cookie crocks shows that
Sunday’s ravages have been deeper than
expected. A cake and pie are made, and a
pan of biscuit to eke out the bread supply
till to-morrow. The dinner served is a
trifle more palatable than Monday’s. It is
two o’clock before she gets right down to
the business of ironing, and at supper time
she is not through. It is simply dreadful
to iron all the tucks, frills and flounces that
must be put on children’s clothes. How
ever, she dotes upon her children and in
tends their apparel to proclaim it. It
does, as her tired and care-worn features
proclaim the foolishness of it!
Wednesday, alter the usual morning
routine, she settles down to baking, and
WOMAN’S WORK.
keeps at it right royally till the clock
strikes eleven. When dinner is over and
the dishes are washed, she rests one tired
foot and then the other, while she surveys
the kitchen floor and the dining room car
pet. She decides to begin in the sitting
room and work back. She gets a fine
coating of dust over the furniture, and is
obscured in the cloud she is raising in the
dining room, when the door-bell rings.
She presents a grimy visage to Mrs. Min
ister and Mrs. Deacon, who are laboring
under the delusion that Wednesday is a
most convenient visiting day, and have
come prepared to stay to tea, if asked. She
seats them in the parlor, and withdraws to
give a hasty brush to the dining room—
that seems fated never to get aught but the
“promise”—gives a dab at the kitchen
floor, changes her badly soiled gown, then
proceeds to entertain her visitors; all the
while with phantoms of numberless un
done tasks dancing before her brain.
The ladies stay to tea, and go away
pitying Mrs. Follow, who seems to have
some secret trouble. They are so
glad they coaxed her into promising to
attend the sewing-bee of the Dorcas So
ciety to-morrow; it is sure to cheer her up.
For Mrs. Follow the evening passes
miserably,' in never-ending stitch, stitch,
on half-worn garments. And the hus
band, saddened by his wife’s irritability
ponders over the question, “Is marriage a
failure?”
After the hurried cleaning on the mor
row, and hours spent in the church parlors
sewing for missionaries, her eyes filled with
visions of the unmade print gown which
she needs so badly, and of the blue dress
that she promised Mazie should be ready
for Sunday School next Sabbath, she is
a fit subject to assure him that marriage
really is a failure. She sews till midnight
on the dainty blue dress, and thinks; “O,
would I were single again.”
Friday she goes through the house like a
cyclone, stopping only long enough to
look up the long stretch of road and think
how pleasant it must be out there in the
open air. But the iron rule of her life says,
“Friday, sweep;” there is no escape pos
sible, so she sweepseven the coal house.
Saturday! We must draw the curtain
over that day in the home of Mrs. Follow.
It is the day for which she is sure a darker
blue was meant than for Monday—a deep
indigo blue. The day on which she does
not dote upon her children, and sincerely
believes that not only marriage, but life
itself is a failure.
She is too tired for church on Sunday,
but after a late Weakfast, a hurried scrub
bing of the children and packing them off
to Sunday School, she marages to get a
little much-needed rest; this cheers and re
freshes her so that she might take courage
were it not for “Monday, wash;” which
starts her in next day, and makes her
weeks like unto one another.

Behold the antithesis, Mrs. Lead, who
has cast aside the rules and by-laws of her
grandmothers, and worked out the domes
tic problem in away satisfactory to her
self and to the comfort of her family. She
has a system, to be sure—for no home can
be successfully run without one; but it is
her system, formed to suit her needs, and
not that of someone who knows nothing of
the requirements of this particular house
hold.
Mr. Lead is a laboring man, and there
are four children, of ages very near those of
their neighbor. Monday morning Mrs.
Lead rises at her usual hour, not too early,
and sets before her family a breakfast com
posed of a properly cooked cereal, ham
fried to a soft touch of brown, delicately
poached eggs, apple-sauce put through a
sieve, after which the sugar was beaten in
with an egg-beater What can be more
fitting for the beginning of a day of labor
than a palatable breakfasjl

dishes while mamma worked upstairs, Mrs.
