WOMA N’S PAGE. Benefits of Simplified Home Tasks BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKEI . Simplified housekeeping and simplic- ity In home-making are apparently 1Wo very different matters. There lever was a time, for instance, ‘when there were more devices, utensi machines for making housework casler, And there never a time When the art of home-making was more taxing. Thousands of things enter into the complexity of accom- Vlishing the work as it should be done and at the same time doing all the things that are expected today of a home-maker. Outside duties are the portion of so many women, both from hoice and from de to be of serv- ite to the community. Housework must be planned around the hours when the man of the house leaves in the morning and come back at night, or possibly at noon, too. Then if there are children, their school hours divide the day into definite period: Mothers hesitate to be absent from the home when the youngsters get ik trom school. It is a lonesome place for them with mother away, and there are so many things she prefers 0 see to for them and with them And then there are the outside inter. referred to, meetings, cach with pecial times and usually’ with some s attached to them. Many Interests. And so we see that there is a cer- tain balance, much needed and essen al, between simplicity in housework complexity in home-making nust be simplified in order makers have time an rgy for manifold duties that are their lot. Meanwhile life itself has become a thousand times more in- teresting than it used to be. And so woman should not bemoan the fact of extra con but contrive to man- age in suc of the situ moroe engrossed with the double inter- ests than were her greac-grandmothers with the gole one of performing the household duties that took all their ime. It is no new saying that “Wom- s work is never done,” though the first part of the adage, 1 works rom sun to sun,” is long since a thing f the past. Kor him, too, new rela- ions toward work exist which are in many ways far superior. They per- mit ‘of the much enjoyed Saturday halt-holiday and occasion of a whole Saturday of leisure. This means niore time in which to enjoy the home. 1t also means that the wife takes pride In having that time to devote to her husband. Care-Free. nce he is to be home, the wife kes pride in having her time at h they may on litt sions. She and children look forward to daddy's ifternoon off with all that it means of possibilities of happiness. It also means that the household must be un so that this time be spent in the jevousness of relaxation without hauni>.g thoughts of care lest the mo duties be neglected. Such oughts rob pleasure of its gladness, «nd the mental attitude is trans. nlited to the others. They feel ap- ehensive about something too unde- lined to be actually expressed, but by no means too intangible to be felt. So- it is up to the bome-maker to run the bouse holding in mind ary holidays or half-holidays that may come to the Ausband.

Yes, sir; King Eagle and Mrs. E were raising a pair of bables in that very nest when Farmer Brown's boy was born. It was small- er, much smaller, th . but it was the very me nest, or at least a part of the very same n to which King Eagle was taking that fish now.

We find quick ways of doing essen- tials, and we prize ail the labor-saving davices that simplify duties. We should be just as eager alsc to remen- ber to use short cuts in housework, and ideas that are time and labor ing, though they may involve noth- ing in’ expenditure for utensils. We —_— THE HOUSEWIFE WHO E INTO OUTSIDE _ ACTIVITIES FINDS QUICK WAYS OF DOING BESSENTIAL TASKS AND GIVES HERSELF THAT ADDED TIME. NTERS can make our heads save our heels, for instance. We can learn to discrim- inate between the things that must be done at the immediate time and what can be left undone until another time. We can do as men do and “size up our job.” You know when they do this they are not rushing about from one piece of work to another, They quietly look over the situation mentally, sce it on every side, know what it in- volves and study how to handle it. Women must learn to do just these very things if they would take pleas- ure in life with all its complexities without sacrificing the splendid art of home-making. BY THORNTON . BURGESS Meanwhile Mrs. Hagle had brought back a treat—a duck, from which she stripped the feathers and which she tore apart before giving to the eaglets. For a while she rested. Then as the bables closed their eyes for a mnap she, too, resumed hunting, for she knew that she must eat in order to keep well and fit to hunt for these growing children. Meat and fish they must have, and these could be ob- tained only by constant hunting. It would be weeks before these children could hunt for themselves. (Copyright, 1925, by T. W. Burgess.) What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are favorable in the early morning, but, as the day advances, become nega- tive, although not distinctly adverse. The work tha . was begun today under uch auspiclcus conditions carn afely be continiied and persevered in until noon, when it is advisable to cease, so far as is possible, all forceful ef- fort, review what has so far been done, and deliberate carefully on what remains to be done. In the evening every. effort should be made to avoid acting or speaking on im pulse, as the temptation will be pres- ent to do or say something that will be regretted. A child born tomorrow will cause considerable anxiety in its babyhood. owing to the many allments from which it will undoubtedly suffer. There need be, however, no cause for alarm it its nutrition be carefully watched, and as a result of its re- cuperative powers it will, given the proper treatment, attain maturity in good physical condition. Its temper- ament will be by no means submissive and it will prove to be assertive and self-willed, unless these willful ten- dencles are checked by strong dis- ciplinary measures at a very early age. Its character will be selfish and dominating, but it promises to attain a great degree of material success, as a result of exceptional intelligence and marked perspicacity. You, if your birthday falls on May 29, have a very affable and agreeable disposition, and possess strongly de- veloped domestic tastes, being very much attached to your family and extremely fond of home life. You are not very ambitious for yourself, and only strive to attain results for the sake of those whom you love and by whom you are surrounded. You are by no means lacking in intelligence or ability, but are too considenate of others' feelings to push ahead. You are very.unselfish, and do not think enough of your own interests ever to make much of a worldly success of your life. You, however, can count on the support and affection of a large number of disinterested friends and on the loyalty and ablding regard of the members of your family. You are slow to anger, but are capable of great bitterness it vour confidence is deliberately destroyed or your trust flagrantly violated. Well-known persons born on this date: James J.

The family names in this group are sometimes of real Scottish origin, but for the most part, when they are borne by Scots, the original source fs Irish and the name has been trans- planted from Ulster to the Highlands: The Gaelic form of the name is “O’Cearcaighe,” and means that the bearer is a descendant of one who bore the given name of “Cearnach,’ a name corresponding in meaning to familiar English given name NOWLAN. Carney, As nearly as can be estimated from cotemperary records, the clan or sept of the O'Ke: s formed about the yéar 824 AD., a counle of cen turles before the Norman invasion of England and the period of formation of English family names. The clan was an offshoot of the famous “Clann Cella” of Ulster. In cases where attention was paid to the slightly aspirate sound of the “gh” in “O'Cearnaighe,” the Angli cized form of Carnagie or Carnegie was the logical development. In cases rere the tendency was to slur over the “gh” and the final “e.” such forms as Karney and Carney were the out- come. (Copyright. 1945.)
