A TREAT FOR MOTHER.
Every busy housewife should give herself a treat now and again. Mothers often arrange little treats for children, and they know how much they are enjoyed, even if the children forget to sav "Thank you," but, unfortunately, thereis often no one to plan a treat for mother. .When the winter is over and spring cleaning finished, but holidays still some weeks distant, it is a good plan to give yourself a treat. What form it takes depends on individual taste. Some women may long for a day in the country —a long ramble through woods and fields by themselves, or a motor trip with friends; others may prefer to spend some hours by the sea. Several women regard going to a play a treat, while if others can persuade their husbands to take then? out to dinner and a show, then that pleases them. One overtired womar might enjoy a day in bed more than anything, .vhile a country woman would probably choose a day's shopping in town. Whatever is your ideal of a day's holiday and enjoyment, strive to give it yourself. With a little contriving it may be uanaged. Meals can be planntd so that no cooking is required that day. The children may, perhaps, be able to stay at school, or go to a relative's or friend's house. A day off duty does a hard-w irked woman a tremendous amount of good, arid it\ is worth striving for, even by the most unselfish, for it benefits her family too.
