Foolish Mothers.

There are frivolous mothers, and bigoted
mothers, and filssy mothers. and tmid moth
ers, and coddling mothers aud stupid moth
ers. But whether mother be stupid, or
cOddlimg, or iimid, OF fussy, or frivolous. the
girls are absolutely at her mercy. 1t is hard
to make a choice between the despotim Of
the one or the other but perhaps the greatest
trial to young creatures full of life and en-
ergy is the tyranny of the timid mother
She will not allow her girls to skate, because
Sir John Franklin was lost among the ice
bergs nor TO ride, because fox-hunfer. some
times get their necks broken; nor to row. be-
cause yonng men injure themselves in those
dreadful boat-races. They may not have a pei
dog, in case it should go mad; nor any aconite
or monkshood IN their gardens, for fear they
should poison themselves The timid mother
forbids her daughters to visit amongst the
poor, as they might take smallpox, and will
not allow one Of them to 90 alone outside the
avenue gate from her dread of earroters
The description which she gives of the neigh
boring fields is appalling. She represents
them to be the lairs of mad bulls, savage
tramps, venomous snakes, and wild horses
Her girls cannot propose either work or play
which she does not prove to be encompassed
with dangers horrible and hitherto unthought
Of In their childish days they were not al
lowed rocking-horse, for fear il should over
balance, nor pocket-knife, lest they should
cut their fingers. The coddling mother is
very nearly allied to the timid one She is
always tying comforters around her chill
dren's throats, and applying flannel to mys-
terious places where it win not stay. She
revels in chest-protectors and respirators
and her room is adorned with stieking-plas-
ter and gallipots, She is always intent on
proving that every one either has a cold or is
taking one and she may be seen at night in
a flannel dressing-gown, going from room to
room, with cruel, pills, mustard-leaves, and
lndia-rubber hot Enthusiastically Rerier

The Old Black silk.

Our grandmothers thought they knew all
about economies in their day and genera.
ton but they were vastly behind the present
age. A shsrp-witted girl who likes 10 look
nice, and yet has scant purse TO draw from,
could teach her frugal gradmother lesson
that would make her open her eyes in Won
der. Silk was silk in these days, and a silk
dress was an honest garment, fit for the
closest inspection from head 10 foot. IL does
not do to inquire too closely into the max.
up Of much that we see promenading the
street, and looking very handsome, now-a-
days. Still it is handy 10 have the knack Of
making over an old dress into something
very presentable without a great outlay.
Two good heads, and two pairs Of nimble
fingers, recently made over a black silk in a
way that may give hint TO somebody else
First, the old garment, which was scant
and plain, and darned in many places was
carefully ripped apart. Then it was sponged
in water III which an old kid glove had been
stepped, then ironed on the wrong side, and
it was found 10 be as stiff as new Now the
old silk bag was brought out, and the muci-
lage bottle. The tiny holes and thin places
were gummed over, and a little patch Of
black silk placed on the other side aud ironed
smoothly. There was scarcely trace left
on these wom-out places. wonder what
our grandmothers would have thought Of
such patching
The old waste pieces were turned and
basted to the waste portions Of polouaise
lining, piccing them where it was needful.
Then the polonaise skirt was cut out of the
best breadths of the skirt, joining il TO the
waist pieces very neatly, closing the polonaise
in front. The old sleeves cut the lower half
Of new sleeves by judicious piecing and the
upper sides come from the skirt. The polo
naise was success, and there were still
pieces enough left To fiounoe an old alpaca
skirt cut scaut according 10 fashion and
plain strip of silk above the hounne came
