The housekeepers' program has a dual purpose, according to Aunt Sam-may.

Her picture has not been In the papers, nor have the artists and cartoonists undertaken as yet to depict her to an eager public. No one knows whether she will be what might be termed a companion piece for the venerable gentleman with the flowing locks, gray chin whiskers, high hat, blue dress coat, star-spangled vest, and red and white striped pantaloons buckled under the insteps a buxom, beaming, old-fashioned old dear or of the modern matron type, or possibly one of the fascinating girl-women of today, since men of an uncertain age often seek youth when they go awoo-lng. Nor can it be predicted as yet whether she will prove to be a fly-by-night, now here and now gone, or will develop Into a perennial national character such as Uncle Bam himself. Perhaps It Is all this uncertainty about her that hal made her such en interesting personage In the short time that has elapsed since her advent.

But I constantly correct my mind with the thought that, though the tils of life outweigh the Joys thereof, the greater must be the purpose of mankind to contribute somewhat toward the enlargement of what Joy there Is.

A thousand years hence, even greater miseries will have disappeared and the souls of men will be born Into a world with less to blast and wither them.
