One bright afternoon in the late sum- mer time, Viola started out for & stroll, and when passing the home of A Flower Lover was invited by her to look through her garden of beautiful flowers of which there were more than Twice Twentyqdif- ferent varieties. One of the first to meet the eye was the dainty Primrose which seemed to be the center of brilliant blooms of meny colors. But the great- cst_gurprise came when The Last Rose of Summer was discovered way back in one corner, looking just as grand as though it was the month of June. Just at this time Marje happened along carrying a box of her favorite cookies and we procecded- to The' Five Willows where we wore met by Keziah Doolittie Who,in o very curt way inférmed us that this was & Happy Go Lucky party, and s0 it proved, for at that moment Just Me exclaimed Oh!

NO NAME NO. 2 BE CAREFUL TOW WE JUDGE ONE ANOTHER. Dear Social Corner Editor and Sister Cornerites: Arthur Guiterman says: “Fear not, lest men say evil things of you, But fear to do the ill they say you do.” R A long time ago I read somewhere of a woman who, because her husband would not supply her with firewood, pre- pared the meal in all its details ond served it faw at dinnertime. After zhat —she was seldom troubled with having to chop up old limbs or anything else she found handy Tn order to build a firo. Jyst the other day I heard a certain woman spoken of as crazy. “Why,” they sald, “sometimes she dossn’t even get his meals! Or she simply flies all to piecc: when someene comes in and heips: them- selves to cookles or pie in the pantry, and they say she carries on something terrible If the men let the . cattle run through the yard” ete. Just for the fun of it, I thought I'd plck this piece of news to pleces and this is what I learned; Her husband is a great talker. (You know the old proverb about good talkers.) For winters pest the woodplle has never grown till the last stick on \nand has been burncd and then green wood had to be used for kindling as well 28 to keep the fire going. Often- times the master of the house was, and still is, In too much of a hurry to split more than enough for & day at a time. Do you know what greeh wood is after a storm? In summer thers are always old boxes or chips and such that one may gather if the need is great. B These people live 2 long way from any atore, and there are no very near meigh- bors. The trips to the store are not often and when he goes fhere Is generally too big & load of stuft to bring back to be burdened with her. Wouldn't yo just happy in like eircumstances i vou asked your man to be sure and rcmember to get butter 4nd sugar, and have him return without them, and tell you quite lightly<that he got to talking with So and So and forget all about it. “Can’t you uge gravy for butter and 'lasses for su- gar? I'd just as soon.” ‘There are only five young children and very near of an age. All the water has to be earried by hand. The care of the hens falls to her, and when he needs some change for tobacco he asks for it from her egg money, for, as he claima, he grows the grain for them and he has a right to it. Through the summer there are always at jeast two hired men— generally anything that oomes along leoking for a job, After dolng such & washing as such 2 Reperal work, fa it any wonder that mhe objeots to their cating between meals?

Especlally on wash -days were these things pleasant. A sheat or tablecloth or any olner large article was just the taing to brush the files off ‘the horses’ backs. All they had to do_wgs pass be- neath them a few times. It also brush- ©d the looee hairs and dust off, too. “Oh, bii she does such queer things #ald my informer. Well, who wouldn't? If one can’t make thoir men see their duty in the natural way, where's wth harm of new methods? Why it issthat people seem to thinky Grip, Influgnza, Catarrh, that just because a woman marries and has a family, that such things as a dance or party or sleigh ride or gliding over smooth ice on skates or coasting has ne more interest for her? Agaln, how do you Imagine this woman feels when her husband comes home time after time, prajsing the looks of some woman he has seen on the trip? Would' you enjoy being told that a wom- an your own age looked ten years young- er? Would it be any fun for you to know how fine your old friends were dressed, “with a hat that tipped down over one eve just right. and blue silk stockings”? Our “crazy” wofnan hasn't seen a pair of silkk stockings for three years. Would you like to krow that Mra B.'s foot was just as tiny as of old and he bets she can dance as lightly as in the old days, when your feet were misshapen from wearing old shoes and being on them so much? ‘Wasn't it Shakespeare who sald “We are all mad?” Because one locks onc's doors when a chlid against the emtranes of one's brothers and siters, who' delight In teasing and ridiculing, must one be mad? How do we feel toward the fly that persists In circling our heads and constantly buzzing? We aren’t all bullt with nerves of steel. ~ Aren’t we a littl harsh with the more delicate sisters who are living on nerves alone? Did you ever notice how the woman who lets her nerves “hang loose” end talks hysterieal- Iy and slams about “gets by" while the one Wwho tries to hold on and not show her feelings gets no eympathy? It is & wonder that 2 woman with fine and delicate bearings and five children can't be queer It she wants to. Her hus- band in his way loves her, but—he just doesn't know any hetter than be Incon- siderate.
