The Home Circle.
A WOMAN’S PROBLEMS. When breakfast things are cleared away, The same old problem’s rising, For she again sits down to think Of something appetizing. The dinner she must soon prepare, Or give the cook directions, And great is the relief she feels When she has make selections.
When dinner things are cleared away, The problem that is upper Is just the same with one word changed—- “ What can I get for supper ?” She wants to give them something new, And long is meditation, Till choice is made, and then begins e The work of preparation.
When supper things are cleared away, Again her mind is worried, For then she thinks of breakfast time, When meals are often hurried ; She ponders o’er it long until The question is decided, Then bustles round till she makes sure That everything’s provided. That “ woman’s work is never done ” Has often been disputed, But that she’s worried is a fact, And cannot be refuted. The worry over what to eat Is greatest of these questions, And glad she’d'be if someone else Would make the meal suggestions. —Selected,
