Remarkable Men Who Owed Much Of
Their Greatness to X ,rly Education.
1t is terrible mistake when mothers
do too much for their children, yet il
is very difficult to draw the line be-
tween that and proper consideration
for their wants aud comforts 1t is so
natural to be anticipating for them,
and mingled with the feeling there is.
perhaps, a Ii tie selfishuess. for the
mother cannot help wishing that il she
should be taken from her little ones,
that they may be able to look back on
the time when she cared for them as
one of unmixed comfort and happiness.
A mother whose heart remains young
Is an incalculable blessing to her chill
dren: she can enter into their games
and be child with them, she Is the
playfellow OF her girls. and. rs they
grow older. Is almost like their elder
sister; and IL she have sons. there Is a
camaraderie between them and her
which makes home the most delightful
place IN the world. and mother" the
most charming OF companions. 1t was
thus with Goethe. the German poet,
his mothers first-born son. who came
to be her plaything and pleasure long
before she was out Of her teens. She
was a genial. social. and. withal, clever
woman. and always maintained that
the bond between herself aud her boy
owed Its strength to the fact that my
Wolfgang and were young together"
A mothers authority ought 10 be
marked by n sweet reasonableness.
The children. when old enough to COM
prehcnd more than tho bare duty Of
implicit obedience. should be con-
vinced that all her rules and regula-
tions are based on sound principles.

and end. Thus. a young girl OF fifteen,

Many remarkable mon have had re-

never forgot his allegiance to his
mother, Lucretia Bonaparte. who has
been called the Cornelia Of her day.
She was woman who praeticed plain

John Wesley. who was the twelfth of

Fashionable babies are christened at

at -four o'clock sharp number OF aides

In An uptown drawiag-room. In the
center Of the salon stood "a small table
decorated with smilax and white rose
buds and bearing repoussc silver bowl
Tho Clergyman and the god parents
took their places; the door opened and
busuing parsonage in sti0f blaeh silk
appeared, bearing a bundle of white
lace and very large white satin
sash. somewhere In the folds OF
which was hidden the extremely
small. red specimen who was
about to renounce the pomps and van
titles OF this wicked world. After the
ceremony the little Christian disap-
pearcd. and the doors were thrown
open for the slight refreshment de
manded at that hour The table was
decorated with large oval mirror,
around which WAS massed bank Of
moss and smilax. with center OF
Cornela Cook rosebnds; At every plate
was placed little white basket lined
with silk and bound with soft white
ribbon. the ends painted In gold lot
tiers. with the date and the name OF the

was that sweetest OF all vowel combina-
tons Alice" These baskets were
filled with French mignonet and tea"
buds Caudle was first served In small
pink cups, on which was painted n

feature OF the entertainment was
babies In Ice cream. frozen stiff

resting on nests Of spun glass. No
body had the heart TO eat them or we

viewers by recommending them rs an
