How The Wise Woman Works

A lady in Scïènce of lliallh savs : Monday she rises at the usual hour, which isfixed to suit both personal needs and surrounding circumstances. She looks over her work for the week, and, so far as possible, she arranges a certain amount of sedentary work. If baking or churning, or both, inustbe done on Monday, she puts offher washing until Tuésday, which gives her the opportunity of putting her clothes to soak over night. Then she has the ironing for Wednesday, baking for Thursday, sweepiag for Friday, and deining and som.: it:aug, and perhapa churning on Saturday. Then the next week she can wash on Monday if she prefers. If possible, she has the same jobs for each day for every week, but if not, she finds sume way of ohanging, so that she does not get much more exercise than a fair proportion each day. If she gets too much any way so much the more need of careful management. Her sewing is selnoted, and the wants oí her faniily so well foreseen that she has that dono tírst that will be needed most, though many a time sïïe Iets an old farment be worn ratlier than break in upon her hours of niglitly repos. She hsis some light work, if any, for the evening, has her hour for retiring, and keeps it, allowing herself the time for rest which she knows from experience to bff uecésaary. She gets some time out of doors every day, even if she has to take her work with her. She takesthingscalmly, does not waste her nerve power, stops and reets if she feels exhausted, and Iets the extra jobs go to the wall rather than make herself sick with trying to do them. If she really has too much to do, she studies devices for "slighting" her work, especially fchat part of itdesigned for show. If still there is too much to do, she hires help for the heaviest jobs or for the sewing, and saves mouey to pay for it out of a dootor's bill. : She puts some of hur vitality into vivacity and compimionship for her famJy and friendo, mstead of laying it out on thnir backs or for their palates. She afivos thi'in horwiafiand kind companionship duriutr a long. pl;asant life. She mnkes thein wijjejj and happier than they would have heen without her ; she bequeaths vitality, mlmriess and power to jer ohildren, who rise up and cali her ilessed. Her luiaband also praiseth her and at last in a ripe old age they go home ogether. - ,, .- , . ,
