each should acquire some occupation by which
she could earn her own livelihood and, as it is
well known, it was the custom among the Jews,
even of the highest rank, to make their sons
proficient in some trade or profession. The
social phases of American life are peculiar. The
man who is a millionaire to-day may be a beg
gar tomorrow and American parents surely will
do well when they teach their children to honor
every form of honest labor, and when they
give them such a mental and moral equipment
rs will best fOrtify them for that battle, which,
IN one gulse or another, awaits them.

OUR LETTER-Box.
AUNT HELEN: We send you many thanks
for your kind New Year wishes and add scrap
of information concerning ODalut." This sub
stance has already excited much artistic inter
est in England and on the Continent, and there
ladies have long been accustomed to use it in
the decorations OF their homes. Opalin is de-
scribed as transparent material, tinted and
coOred to suit the taste and wishes Of all who
appreciate inexpensive decoration. Its brill
fancy has led to the suspicion that it is made
Of Opals, but this is mistake Although rival
ing these gems in luster, it contains none Of
them in combination. The combination is as
yet n secret with the manufacturers. Unlike
cathedral glass, full Of irregular and Cumber-
some Jennings, which render q close inspection
of it anything but pleasure, opalin resembles
artistically C0l0red oiled silks pleasant to the
eye agreeable to the touch, and fascinating to
the sense of the beautiful. The result of its
manipulation by the sBilllul fingers of lady
of taste, is successful combination of the beau
tiful in art applied to home decoration. In the
process there are needed: scissors roller,
sponge, and the good taste and cunning fingers
of an artistic housewife. The designs are
painted on paper; they are of medieval and
modern patterns, and are varied and beautiful.
The glass used is the ordinary window glass.

and Interior Decorators, p. D. Boz 2646, NclO
York, furnish glass and designs, together with
circulars containing concise information con-
cerning the use of 0palin. 1t is said that when
the sunlight plays upon window that has
been treated with this material, the room is
filled with a glow so exquisite rs to bring to
mind the beautiful effects often seen in Euro
pcan cathedrals.
"a friend Of the TRIBUNE" begs that some
