OUR HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.
I have had some lovely letters re
cently from the sisters and brothers
of our little family. Several ask for
news of others, who have not been
heard from lately through the House
hold. Among these is our dear Mar
garet Richard. I have a nice letter
from her, typewritten. She has
bought a typewriter and is learning
to use it to save her eyes. She has
had trouble with those fine eyes that
have done her such good service, and
she wishes to let them have a rest.
She shuts her eyes, as she types her
work, and says she hopes to be able
to do this with more facility. She will,
I am sure. I had a dear friend in
New York, Miss Mary Magill, author
of a number of beautiful books, and
aunt of Thomas Nelson Page, who,
after she was fifty years old, was told
by oculists that she must give up the
literary work that was her support.
Her eyes had to be severely operated
on —the iris cut nearly out. She
bravely determined not to give up the
work she loved and depended On. She
bought a typewriter, and, with closely
bandaged eyes sat before it and
worked at it until she became an ex
pert typist.
Maid Margaret tells me how much
good reading she (helped by her dear
mother and sister, who often read
aloud to her) has done in these winter
evenings. She has re-read some of
the perennially good old books, partic
ularly Dickens. This reminds me to
tell you that Annice sent me a long, in
teresting clipping, telling that the
Dickens’ experts believe that an Eng
lish writer has at last solved the long
discussed question as to how Dickens
intended to end the famous story he
left unfinished —“The Mystery of Ed
win Drood.” Many books have been
written about this question and hun
dreds of solutions have been offered;
none have been fully accepted until
now.
Next week I will tell you about the
new solution.
I am sending in today a story in
verse by Arthur Goodenough. It is fine.

WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER IN
AN ALABAMA TOWN.
Dear Household Friends:
Several weeks ago I wrote you a
letter, had it sealed and stamped, and
on my mantel piece, and asked several
persons going to the postoffice to mail
it for me. They would get off forget
ting it, till I at last went to take it
down, when it slipped behind the man
tel piece. As I don’t think it of
enough value to call in a carpenter to
have the mantel moved, I will just
write another letter.
This has been a remarkable season.
November was like May. Flowers
bloomed and fresh vegetables were in
gardens until the 26th of November.

We have had snow since, however, and
killing frosts; still there are fresh
roses in our yards. Hens are hatch
ing little chickens, and now that
moulting season is about over, there
will be plenty of eggs.
We have had a number of deaths
in our community of some of our most
active women. We shall miss them
in our Church work. We sympathize
with their loved ones, but in every
case we have the assurance that they
have gone to a richer reward than
earth can give. Their lives were
spent in helping others and in doing
good deeds.
Our Foreign and Home Missionary
societies have been united under one
president, but separate officers to at
tend to the various branches of work.
The Home work is growing. Much
good is being accomplished here in our
own country through this organized
band of Christian workers. The For
eign work also prospers. The two
united will accomplish much good,
there will be a broader outlook and
wider sympathies.
I have had some shut-in-experience
lately —rheumatism. I feared I was
going to be in Tom Lockhart’s condi
tion as at times I could not straighten
my limbs, but thanks to God I can now
walk and visit my near neighbors
and enjoy rides. A neighbor took me
auto riding not long since. How I en
joyed getting out in the country and
seeing the pretty flower beds in full
bloom along the way.
Hoping our mater and all are well,
I will close for this time.

DON’T NEGLECT TO THINK OF
HER.
Dear Mrs. Bryan:
May I have space in the Household
to tell something of Miss Mary
Glass, one of God’s afflicted children?
She is seventy years old, and has been
a sufferer from rheumatism for 47
years, is unable to sit up or to
use her hands.
She is never carried from her room,
save when she is lifted from her bed;
yet, through all the long weary years
she is still cheerful and patient.
The following words have proven
true in her life:
“It may be the bitter future
Is less bitter than you think;
The Lord may sweeten the waters
Before you come to drink;
Or if marah must be marah,
He will stand beside the brink.”
She will be glad to receive post
cards or cheerful letters.
Address,
MISS MARY GLASS,
Wayne, Marengo County, Alabama.

A WISE WAY TO ECONOMIZE.
When any one speaks of economy,
the natural thought is that reference
to money is intended. On the con
trary, economy in some of its most
beneficial forms has nothing to do
with finance. Saving is not always
economy, as some folks learn to their
sorrow, but when we stop to think
what economy really is, management
with wisdom, it is plain that we can
economize in effort as well as in any
thing else.

AN ONLY DAUGHTER RELIEVED OF
CONSUMPTION
When death was hourly expected, all
remedies haring failed, and Dr. H. James
was experimenting with the many herbs of
Calcutta, he accidentally made a preparation
which cured his only child of Consumption.
His child is now in this country and enjoying
the best of health. He has proved to the
world that Consumption ean be positively
and permanently cured. The doctor now
gives his recipe free, only asking two
2-cent stamps to pay expenses. This herb

this, and no one should have to advise
her about it. There is a great differ
ence in housekeepers in this respect.
The really good housekeeper thinks
and plans with intelligence. The well
meaning housekeeper half plans and
lets a host of matters go belter skel
ter. It is the latter sort —and there
are ever so many of them, all well
meaning, bless their hearts —who ex
pend one hundred per cent, of effort,
where fifty per cent, would do quite
as well.
There is so much to do in the home
all the time that no woman can afford
to waste her energy.
No woman in housekeeping can plan
a week ahead, day in and day out, like
the carpenter, with a level and a
square. She must think ahead each
day according to what she has to face,
and figuring thus, save herself all the
effort and energy she can, knowing,
as she knows, if she is intelligent, that

they are red letter days when she has
so little to do that she need not worry
about extra steps. In fifty per cent
of instances, it is wasted, unthinking
effort that tires the housewife, so that
when dinner is over and everything

Her work would tire her, even if she
