VIMENIIBIMP
A Column Prepared: Especia ly for Women--
ut Not Forbidden' to Men
Your minds etge endowed' with -a
vast number of gifts of totally differ-
ent uses limbs of 0end ae it were;
which if you don't exercise you tripe
ple.--Ruskin..
The above quotation from Raskin
appeals to me.rather like Ruskin,
although he is, of, course, very much
behind the present brisk age. I•Ie is
too, a little hard on women. That is,
be holds up a very high ',ideal for
women to attain to, and a very mas-
culine one, as well, ,;But, still he al-
ways appealed to ane because he ex-
hibits a fineness of sensitiveness of
soul which many writers lack. I am
sure that" had I known Ruskin person-
ally he's the soot of: man'I should-lrkI
to have think well of me.
The above quotation strikes home
to me. Read it ,again and see if et
doesn't appeal to you; Woinee are
more tempted than any other class of
human beings to "cripple" their minds,
by leek of -exercise. So moth of their
time 'is spent in tasks evhieh do not
serve •tor stimulate the mind and yet
whieh:are'very 'essential to the well-
being of their families. ' "Sometimes,"
remarked a preacherin. myghearing a
short time ago, " I am;glad I am not
a woman—most of the time indeed.
Think of a woman having to wash
the same dishes three times a day,
three hundred and sixty-five days in
the year?'" Many of the women lis-
teniiig ,tohim realized just what it
meant- to do that very thing. The
preacher went on to show that sn'ch
worriers need' to glorify their work,
in, ininistering to their families. I
agree. Indeed, I've always thought
housekeepers did not "magnify" bheir
calling" sufficiently. They, them-
selves think ill of it, and they allow
ether, to think and speak ill of it, un-
til it is no Wonder at ,a1I that it is
difficult to get self-respecting, am-
bitious :girls to become helpers in the
home, It is •a mistake, when you
considers how important the work is;
hew necessaryto the health and well-
being of the family.
But no matter how important it is
to have the closets clean and the flan-
nels washed and put away every
spring, it is just as irek ortant 'that
the housemother should have trine to
"exercise' her mind, Women should
take time to read, to keep abreast of
the times a little, to take a flight into
the world of poetry and romance 00-
casionally,, so as to forget for a time
the washing of dishes' and dusting of
furniture.
I know 'nine women out of every
ten, perhaps, will sniff and say it is
all very well for me to, talc, that if..
I knew anything about it -1'd see how.
impossible it is for a woman who does
all the work of a house and looks
after her family to take time for self-
improvement. But see What our old
friends, Ruskin, says. If we do not
exereise-,these mindsofours we crip-
ple thein, and there is not a doubt
but he's right.
Women in this age of ,the World
cannot Afford to "cripple" their, minds.
They need them at. their • best,' NO
matter what sphere of activity a
woman occupies she needs to be alert
mentally, In business, in the pro
fessioes, if she is not alert she is
soon left behind in the onward march;
in: the home' it is no less true. She
Must keep up with her children or
they will. soon begin to look elsewhere
for .advice and leadership. The wise
mother keeps a lip ahead of her
children and thus keeps thein }coking
wp to' her. It Dais any woman tir
keep as many "limbs" of her mind as
pessiblo exercised.
• REBEKAH
WHY HE SAVED HIS LIFE
Dr. Crossley 'pulled' an amusing
joke in one -Of his addresses here. A
man had attempted to drown himself
by jumping front a bridge into the
river below. A passerby taw the act
and, jumping after hin'i, managed to
bring hint ashore. On recovering his
breath, the rescued man blurted-,
t`I wish you'd mind your -own busi-
ness." "I am," was the quick re-
tort, "You've every bit as much right
to live and pay taxes as I have."
