Household.
Sit down, little mother, and let Us talk
while about that eldest daughter. DID
she say, Smother don't known" and did
she tell the truth? Have care, loving
mother, lest in your tenderness you be-
come bondwoman to your family. Your
husband chose you as his companion, mo-
alone as housekeeper, to be afterward
nurgemaid and general utility woman on
the stage Of domestic life. Although ne
may seem careless, his cstechism Is well
Learned IS to woman's first duty, which
he unhesitatipgly pronounces to be the
duty Of looking your best. So sit down,
little mother, smooth the wrinkles thst
are coming on your brow. The bright
bow is still pretty for you, and your hair
has not yet lost its softness; why not ar
range 1t becomingly and don, against his
coming, the gown>he most admires.
You are ready, not surely the same
tired, worn woman Of an hour ago. a

literally transformed you. Watch for
the plessurabie surprise that will
manifest itself in the face OF
your husband at his homecoming.

husband in love with you, and it cannot

tiuue through their lives to be attracted
il not ensnared by beauty in woman. ands
wise wife remembers that the charms
that win must be carefully preserved snd
new ones added, so there is no danger
that through her Il illness or indifference
he slips away from home and moorings,
for sirens still sing, and Dido and Cleo
pstrs still have their disciples.
