I asked. “Did she sud- denly meet a dark stranger and go off on a trip with him?” “Dark or fair, I wouldn't know but she left for Montreal — and what have I to complain of? She warned me something might hap- -pen to keep her from coming. And she even had a neighbor phone me -she couldn’t come. Fair enough, don't you think?” “I don’t think.

EBENEZER W. I. The May meeting of Ebenezer

? Dan MacLeod. The president,

Mrs. MacRae, conducted the ‘ meeting which was opened by re- , peating the Mary Stewart collect. ‘ The roll call was answered by pfifteen members. The collection I-I amounted to ninety - five cents. i The correspondence was read * and discussed. The president and secretary were asked to attend the executive meeting of the dis- ‘ 'trict convention on May 19. The

country girls were glad to do house-work for five dollars a month — or just their board and room —— any old room. '1‘-en dol- lars was big pay and well-to-do people in town got the better wor- kers for five or six dollars a week.”

“Would you like those days to come back again?" asked Mrs. Best. «

“Of course, I wouldn’t — any more than you would -— but not everyone is college material or fit -for white collar jobs. You’d think girls would be glad to work in a nice home—at good wages —— rather than scurry off some- where to work in factories or what- not." .

“Well, I, for one, don't blame the girls,” said Mrs. Best. “Even the married women often seem to prefer any old job to staying at home and doing‘ their own house-work. Cooking can be an art -7 and it's fun to see others EIIJGYIIIE what you prepared -- but the endless cleaning and dish- washing just doesn't do anything for anyone —- except for the bride perhaps who can express her love in keeping her new home shining. Other jobs can bring you in contact with other people. House-work is a solitary job — and must be irritating too in ano- ther woman’s home."

Of course I agreed with Mrs. Best. She brought up another point —— the prestige value of some even humble jobs compar- ed wit.-ht the domestic’s. Young women want to get married — and being a “servant” isn’t an as- set in the eyes of the young men.

All in all, my friend and I de- cided that a robot house- keeper was an urgent need in this era. Wind her up —- feed her directions‘ for the day — and the cooking, washing, everything will-— be at- tended to — with precision and dispatch! .

I am writing this on behalf of the family. Please accept our sin- cere sympathy in this your hour of trouble. But remember this: Earth hath no sorrow, Heaven cannot heal. Death is not the op- posite to life. It‘s not even the end of life. It’s just a matter of going from one room to another and a better one. So be of good ch-eer about death, and know this

to a good man, either in life or after death.

Guthrie was one of God’s noble- men, a friend to all who played the game fairly. It was a plea- sure to meet him and I shall greatly miss his cheerful com- pany. A noble friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around.

It is not wealthor ancestry but noble conduct and noble disposi- tion that makes men great. Kind- ness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

Guthrie‘s life was so gentle and the elements so mixed in him, that nature might stand up and

He was so honest that he found it hard to believe that honesty was not universal. Yes indeed. and he held that judging others was a dangerous thing not be- cause you may make a mistake. about this but because you may be revealing the truth about your- self.

There was no finese in his life. If he said “Yes" he meant “Yes” and vice versa. and this elemen- tary honesty he cre:"'2d to every person who was not completely unitrustworth-y.

If everyone to whom he did a kindness would place a bud on- his grave, he would sleep tonight, beneath a wilderness of flowers.
