When I think of the life a woman must lead in order to be truly a lady, when I review the life I have been forced to live to do my share in making this home, and rearing these children, the contrast is too great.

I thank God for any part I have been able to take.

Had I life to live over, I see now where I could do more; but neighbour, believe me, my highest aspiration is to be a clean, thrifty housekeeper, a bountiful cook, a faithful wife, a sympathetic mother.
That is life work for any woman, and to be a good woman is the greatest thing on earth.

Never mind about the ladies; if you can honestly say of me, she is a good woman, you have paid me the highest possible tribute." "I have nothing to change, in the face of your argument," said Mr.
