It I* tin rioubtedly true, hut the fault doe* nut necessarily He, •• one might auppose, with the woman. There exists a widely prevalent, but very erroneous Idea that a woman's duties are of ao little Importance that it la no crime for others to Infringe upc-n the time allotted to them, as it would be to trespass upon the mascu line working hour*. A remark very familiar upon the lips of men la: "Wo men have nothing to do but think about this or that,’’ naming something this particular lord of creation wants Per to think about at that especial time. When the wife Is late for any engage ment, and Is blamed for her tardiness by her Impatient husband, tt will be generally found that she ia Into be cause an hour or more of her time has been tilled with email services for th“ man—who Is perf.ctly helpless In the matters of nibbing off grease-spots end managing obstlnato buttons—services totally unlooked fer, end for which no time was left In reserve. But the men are not wholly to blame, for one’s women friends are quite as bad. The woman without n rule of bc tton to govern her daily Mf* unthink ingly destroys more valuable time In the life of her more systematic neigh bor than dees any other factor. She cannot understand how the minutes end hours, comparatively valueless to her. can be eo important to others; and so she wastes her busy friends’ hours with endless and purposeless talk; or, with a reckless disregard for the ap pointed hour, Is tardy In keeping an engagement, thus throwing into disor der the busv woman's carefully mapp ed out day. ’in which all the necessary work can be accomplished only by the most systematic management. If everyone worked according to rule, how much better It would be! How much fewer nervous headaches would exist, how great would be the saving in nerve force, and how much mire werk could be accomplished. Should each woman, whether In business Ilfs or In her home, plan to perform cer tain duties at certain hours, no one would have leisure to waste the time of others, and In (he werk completed the result would be found to be most sat'sfactory. It is-o! course reeogni2£3 tb£- business woman regular hours in dispensable, but vary few Malta that the housekeeper Is as much In business as is bfr sister out in tip* world.

Fin* of thorns, home-made diye*- I hand-knit stoc kings, and even hand jrnede shoes were by no means peculiar Ito the wardrobes of a few. Furniture and food were the objects of ns clever contriving as was dress, and many a woman speedily learned how to wield e hrmraer and nail* so as to make a eba'r of a barrel, and how to porch peanuts In such a 'vay a* to make them bear some resemblance to coffee for a beverage. The wants of the men at the front were considered even before those of the family nt h<;me. Many were the dainty bits of lingerie—put aside for the bridal day when the soldier lover should return—torn into shreds .or lint banenges; and still more numer- ; on* were the roses torn away to make room in the gardens for the masses of poppies raised for opium for the hes pitais. , _ j The “doing without” was, in more than one Instance, a romance, and al ways it formed the groundwork for an interesting story.
