TWO GLIMPSES OF WOMAN
LOOKING BACKWARD. Six hours a day the woman spends on food I Six mortal hburß a day; << With fire and water toiling, heat and cold. Six mortal hours a day to handle food, Prepare it, serve it, clean it all away, \ With allied labours of the stove and tub, The pan, the dishcloth and the scrubbingbrush. Developing for ever in her brain The power to do this work, in which she liveß-; . While the slow finger ©f.-Heredity Writes on the forehead of each living man, Strive *b he may, "His mother was a cook!" . • ' —Charlotte P. Stetson.
