so busy. The boys themselves prais-
ed her, and we felt sorry for them be-
cause we knew they must feel how
much sweeter and prettier she was
than theirs could be. 1t is wise for a
mother to take time to dress and be
fair in her children's eyes; to read for
their sake, to learn to talk well and
to live in to-day. The circle the
mother draws around her is more
wholesome for the child than the one
he has to make for himself, and she
is responsible for his social surround
ings. 1t is not easy to be the child's
most interesting companion and to
make home his strongest magnet, but
the mothers who have done this have

What Mother Wears.

This beautiful little article, full of

memories, appears in the current
Number of woman" magazine
published in New York When
Lydia Newman's old Quaker uncle
saw that she had fastened her pretty
little Newport ties with poppy-red
ribbon, he frowned and told her it
was not seemly. But Lydia laughed.
Il don't care for them myself" she
said, "but l want my little boy to re-
member that his mother wore red
bows on her Shoes" The reason was
worse than the offense, the old Friend
retorted, and so Lydia received a
lecture, but she kept the ribbons.
And who does not remember the
pretty things that "mother" wore

under the lace in her breast, seem half

Evolution Of the Table.

Tilley u. Forney in "Woman" for Feb.
1t was late in the fourteenth centu-
ny when the first evidences Of art in
shape Of silver cups were noticeable
ON the buffet. The dishes were made
of pewter or wood, and spoons of
bone, wood or silver. Knives were
rare, and on that account guests in
vited to feasts carried their ewn
knives. Forks came in general use
still later, and for long years after
their introduction they were consid-
cred ridiculous affectation and fob
berry, and not nearly 30 convenient
as ones own fingers. The lord and
his lady dipped their fingers into the
same plate and slipped their wine
from the same cup. Even the queen
ly Elisabeth, with all her elaborate
ideas of etiquette, was content to car
ry her food to her mouth with her
fingers, and at first despised the new
Iy invented forks as unseemly and
awkward.
Very gradually the dining hall
grew in comfort and splendor. Dish
es of gold and silver were made, and
so eager were the mobiles for them
that they would sacrifice anything to
possess them. The saltcellar was for
along time the article of highest i'm
portance on the board. 1t was a
great affair, and 1t stood directly in
the centre of the table it was the di.
viding line; the mobiles were seated
above the salt, the commoners below,
hence grew the proverb, below the
salt" The passing of salt was cere'
monious custom, the guest throwing
& pinch over his left shoulder and
murmuring blessing.
The saltcellars were OF the most
curious devices. Sometimes they
represented huge animals, sometime;
q great full blown flower, or a long
slender stem, and again, they were
in the shape of chariot, mounted or
four wheels, on which they were cas-
lily run down the table.
The first glass cups came from Ven
