Lead goes about the house gathering up
and putting away Sunday’s litter, with the
aid of Allie and Glenn, aged four and two
years, respectively; she brushes and dusts
the parlor, and gives sitting and dining
rooms whatever cleaning is needed. The
dinner is prepared from the remains of
Sunday’s, not cold or hastily warmed over,
but remodeled carefully into a few tasteful
dishes. Their home presents to the hus
band and children an air of cheerful clean
liness when the noon hour arrives.
Alter dinner Mrs. Lead bakes a plentiful
supply to last until Thursday, having set
bread to rise that morning. This is out of
the oven when the school children come
home, and they accompany their mother
to the store and market—afterwards en
joying a daintily served supper. While
Edna and Claude wash the supper dishes
mamma puts the white clothes to soak,
with plenty of soap rubbed on—for she
will not save soap at the expense of her
back.
Tuesday morning she brings no washing
utensils in view till after breakfast; her
wash-water heats while she attends the
wants of the younger children and puts her
beds to air. At noon nearly all of her
wash is swinging on the line, and a dinner
of roast-beef with Yorkshire pudding and
baked potatoes, is on the table.
“How do you manage to get through so
early?” called Mrs. Follow, as the last of
the clothes were being hung out.
“I soak my clothes over night, they
wash much easier; ever tried it?”
“My sakesl no; my mother always said
that clothes are injured by lying in suds.”
When the children get home mamma is
reading, serenely conscious of a neat house,
plenty of baking, and the week’s washing
done. She lays her book aside to greet
them with a cheerful smile and listen to
their recital of the day’s doings at school.
In the evening she dampens the clothes
quickly and evenly with a cheap whisk
broom, dipped lightly in water and shaken
briskly over them; rolling them up tightly,
she then sits down for a cheerful chat with
her husband, who wonders all the evening
why there are any bachelors.
Wednesday morning Mrs. Lead goes at
her ironing with a will, and by noon there
are only a few towels left undone, for she
wisely eschews the frills and furbelows in
which her neighbor delights, and dotes on
her children in smiles and loving words,
For Woman’s Work.
LET WOMEN PROPOSE!
THE new woman is with us by public
consent, and, that harmony may
prevail, and her future be a happy sequence
to her present, she must be allowed rights
and privileges which she does not now
possess, one oi these being the right to
propose.
An idea is abroad that with freedom of
thought comes a rude, coarse freedom of
conduct—affected by some women who
never were ladies, to the manor born.
Let me give you a true definition of the
New Woman, using the language of the
florist in describing anew rose: “Hardy, by
strict perpetual climbing; beautifully
formed in bud and full bloom; fragrant;
early, and constant free bloomer; satiny
white, occasional blushing to pink; a sport
from the pink tea; quite thorny; responds
best to outdoor culture; does moderately
well in the house but canfftt be forced.”
Is she not all that our grandmothers were,
with the added charm of self reliance?
It has been aptly said that we are crea
tures of habit. The ages have molded and
cemented our ideas in channels which are
only to be worn away by the attrition of
time, or shattered by mighty upheaval of
thought. Public consent, alone, can free
us from reefs of customs, instituted when
the world was young.
Man has had the prerogative in the mat
ter of matrimonial proposals, till the world
looks with disfavor, if not with apathv
on a reversal. When we remember
that steam, electricity, printing presses,
public libraries, free schools, and other
modern day luxuries and necessities were
unknown to our forefathers and mothers,
we can see why men took the initiative in
all matters of head and heart, for the
world moved by and through them.
The many avenues now open to women
were closed, and two doors alone stood
ajar for her entrance—domestic life and
teaching. I grant that, under such s >cial
conditions, the present regime was quite
the right thing; but, turning from the
panoramic vista of the past, a different
picture now meets our wondering gaze.
The least sanguine is free to divine the
consummation of advancement, improve
ment and development in all lines and on
all issues. Our wide spread free school sys
tem, our colleges, societies and clubs have
given woman educational advantages equal
WOMAN’S WORK
combined with plain clothing infinitely neat.
She has changed her dress and finished
the towels when she is called to the door to
admit Mrs. Minister and Mrs. Deacon—who
have decided to visit her this week. She
extends a cordial wolcome, excuses
herself long enough to get her stocking
basket, begs pardon for her humble em
ployment, then sits down to mend, while
allowing her visitors to entertain her.
Most people are pleased with a good lis
tener, and after prayer meeting that eve
ning, whither Mrs. Lead has accompanied
them, the two ladies unite in declaring
their hostess a most charming woman.
Thursday morning finds Mrs. Lead at
her baking table, preparing enough baked
material to last till Monday. The after
noon she gives to sewing, and by abolish
ing all fripperies she manages to turn out
a goodly amount of work. In the evening
her husband accompanies her to an enter
tainment, and they return home as light
hearted as children.
Friday morning she sweeps and dusts
the bedrooms, and after dinner cleans the
parlor. She is about to wash some win
dows when the children come in, clamor
ing for a walk and frolic, so she lays all
care aside and spends a couple of hours
merry-making with them.
Saturday morning she sweeps and dusts
her sitting room, washes the put-aside
windows, and wipes finger-marks from off
the doors. In the afternoon the dining
room is swept and dusted, and the kitchen
cleaned. After helping mamma for several
hours Edna and Claude have bathed them
selves, so she puts the finishing touches to
their toilets and bathes the younger
children; then rests awhile before supper,
and in the evening the family all take a
pleasant walk.
Sunday morning they arise at seven,
Edna and Claude wash the dishes as usual,
giving mamma time to prepare for church,
which the entire family attend together.
The children stay to Sunday School, and’
then go home to a plain dinner. The
afternoon and evening are spent with
grandma Lead, who, being lame, doesn’t
get out much, and is always glad to have
this happy family visit her. That night
Mr. Lead marks in his Bible the follow
ing verse:
“Her children rise up and call her bless
ed; her husband also, and he nraisoth
S B.
to those of her brother; unlimited oppor
tunities are afforded, and, if there is a
preference, it is in favor of girls—boys too
often entering upon business pursuits
whose time could be more profitably spent
among the classics.
The watchword of our century is for
ward, and those who do not keep abreast
with the spirit of the day are not worthy
to live in this great age.
Thenon-progressive are like huge un
sightly knots on some forest trees: they
have the qualities within them to be
come ornamental by yielding to the skill
ful touch of the wood carvers, but often
live and die, serving no higher purpose
than old “landmarks” for the few neigh
boring estate owners.
Even Satan saw the more progressive
nature in woman and offered her the for
bidden fruit, with its reward of knowledge
and wisdom; when she saw her mistake,
she quickly repented, and has ever since
shown a loyal devotion to her Lord by
hearty leadership in every good cause.
He who “came that way and chose her
for his mate” has too often developed into
a monster of whom she knows nothing—
as if some evil spirit had transformed her
lover by wave of a magic wand.
Calypso offered her hand and immortality
to the shipwrecked Ulysses, but his haugh
ty refusal has been a lesson to more mod
ern maidens, who would close all social
doors to the shipwrecked and debauched,
and thus quickly solve the drink problem.
Invest woman with the responsibility of
selection and such a reformation will fol
low that will close the doors of club houses
and saloons forever; many grooms elect
will be set aside and substituted by some
of the least expected—her better judg
ment guiding her to seek those with Chris
tian attributes of heart and mind—attri
butes that now make their possessor
modestly allow the ignoble meteor to
eclipse his mild and steady light.
Man is slow to concede a privilege
which in the least restricts his own sweet
will, but woman’s intuition gives her an
advantage; her quick perceptive powers
serve her so well that soon “rejection,”
would be a word unknown in the vocabu
lary of lovers. Man has always accorded
her the last word; now let her have the
first also. Why not? Let no sentiment
. hinder an innovation that will give us
I happier homes and better citizens.
