ProcraNti- imtion in mi iv the fuult of the Idealist tlian of the Indolent. Thuru i much work left undone in the world, through fear of not coining up to the loer'n ideal of how it should be done, or through putting it off until a more favor- ,blu mood shall pomesa the mind. "The practical, plain young man," or matter-f- Fact person of either soz, will sail ahead n a methodical manner, and accomplish with a fair amount of success, the work which the more brilliant but meteoric roung penon, dilly dallys with, waiting "or "moodjs and tenses," and finally abandon in sheer diaguat with hinmulf, us work and, the world in general. The mattur -of-favt person has no tor- menting and exacting ideals before him. nit lives in the easy and commendable philosophy that a man can oi.ly do his jest and let resulta take care of them- selves. And those results are often a rivalling Hurprise to himself ; not having in idciJ to prewent a discouraging con- trast, he is complacent and selfsatuined. On the other hand the idealist is liaunted by his mental picture ; he dreads to begin hifl work lest he should not do fin. best, lest his ideal will not be reached and when finally driven to make the at- tempt, no ntattur how pleasing the remit to others, he is still unsatisfied, be- cause his inward cenaor ia unappeaaed. Onc I read some interesting chapters entitled, "20 hour* it. day and now to get them." < >f course the whole secret lay in tin- prompt use of t he little dropped moraenU which always lie between the more important day's taaks. A series of days were laid out of an ordinary wo- man's life who does her own work and everything worked magically (in theory.) This imaginary woman had an easy chair in her kitchen and a bright clear window at which she sat and cultivated tier mind while the dinner was cooking. It seems the cow didn't get into this wo- man's cabbage garden and have to be driven out, nor the hens find their way into her flower beds and have to be shooed out right in the midst of her work. That is the worst of theory, it never takes much account of the unexpected in- cident*, and yet the theorists have their place, for they supply us with ideals at which to Him. and to systematize our efforts. If ever women need their work ordered for them, it is at the no-called holiday Reason. I say "so-called" advisedly, for it has li.-i-ii tho experience of moat of UK that tho time wo most noed a holiday is tho day after. The rii ri.stma* season has been made a time of strain and labor to those who en- deavor to keep up ito ancient formalities. (Vrtftin ceremonial dishes must be pre- pared which take much time and labor, the origin and significance of which must bo fconght for in the dim tradition* of our I'.ni nh forebear*, but which mean nothing to us but heavy oatiugand night- mares. Then the custom of making pres- ents, while beautiful in itself, has oome to be a burden almoat too great to be borne when the mind must be racked to think of something mutable, novel and within our means. The whole thing would be simplified if we ccasted giving to those who have too much already and took the pains to find out the noeds of tho poor about us whojte wants are like to be plain everyday ones and not fanciful. But the yearly recurring bore of Christ- mas cookery, and Christinas presents and Christinas decorations is aggravated by incomant practising and drilling of chil- dren ami adults for weeks ahead for the crowding entertainments which fill the holiday ( ?) season and there is neither rest nor peaco for those who intend to keep the holiday in proper style.
