Miss Alcott's Advice.

Miss Louisa Alcott gives the fol-
lowing advice tc girls. 1t is whole
volume. She says: "Girls don't be
in haste to wed. Build up healthy
bodies by good food, plenty of exer
else and sleep. Learn all the useful
household arts before you attempt
to make home. Cultivate your
minds with the best books that you
may be able to teach your children
much that school training alone can
never give you. Choose your amuse.
ments wisely, for youth must have
pleasure, but need not waste itself in
harmful friyolity. Above all, salect
your friends with care. Avoid gir.s
who live only for fashion, Irritation
and enjoyment, and use the privilege.
all women may clam to decline TIE
acquaintance of young men whose
lives will not bear inspection by the
innocent eyes of women. Let no de.
iusion of wealth, rank, comeliness, or
love tempt you to trust your happi-.
ness to such an one. Watch and
wait till the true lover comes, even
ifit be all your life, for single bles-
sedness is far better than double
misery and wrong. S2insters are
very useful. happy, independent race
never more 80 than when all profess
ions are open TO them, and honor,
fame and fortune are bravely won by
many gifted members of the sister
hood. Set your standard high and
live up to 1T, sure that the reward
will come, here or hereafter, and in
the best form suited to your needs"

Saving steps.

Gertrude Thornton in the Christian
at Work gives the following good ad.
vice to busy housekeepers:
The habit of saving ones self steps
10 more especially to housekeepers
than to any other persons in the world
So many must be taken by them to ac-
complish little, while at the same
time they are physically less able. No
one disputes, however, but that they
are mentally as capable of fulfilling
difficult and intricate tasks as are the
husbands. 1t follows, therefore, that
all that they can make the mind do
of the body's work, is gain to them
twice over, a triumph Of mind over
matters worth striving for.
| I don't like quoting anything so
trite as "Have place for everything,
and everything in its place." however
it may help you to remember the idea
which shall express in several ways.
For instance, | shall say, if you would
save yourself steps. practice leaving
ready for use again whatever you have
just been using, and put every worth
less scrap in the stove or waste-basket
at once.
If you are through sewing, put away

sors before they get on the floor under
foot. Pick up the bits of cloth and
thread before they are carried WY
through the house. If you are through
baking, wash or wipe off the boxes, etc.
containing the material used. Don't
leave sugar and -four and spices about
for ants, mischievous fingers or chance
upsets, but put them away in their
places.
And teach yourself and the members
of your family to return book, paper,
knife, basin, towel to its place, and
not leave it where they used it last, up
stairs, outdoors or down cellar.
Again keep everything that you ha-
bitually use at one time as near togeth
er as possible. Let the hat. jacket,
parasol and gloves you usually wear
on going out, be always fonud together
in the same closet. 1t will save much
idle clustering about, looking and ask
ing for this and that. Have writing
materials handy and together in ona
place--a good pen, pencil and ink,
plenty Of paper, envelopes and stamps
A blotter is capable Of saving more ag-
grayation than yoa will believe could
arise from its absence,
Then, too, the dishes you use at ev.
cry meal, why cannot they be kept in
one convenient place close together,
and when they are washed cannot you
contrive some way of having to trot
less back and forth from table to sink
from table to sink and to Closet?
You will save steps in another way
by making beforehand, and consulting
when shopping, a memorandum of
thinos needed for use in the household.
When you are in store, or trades
men is at your door, be sure to buy ey-
erything you positively need. Then
you won't have to be bothered, or go
about borrowing, or sending for this
and that.
And beside all, you over particular
ones, (you don't think you are so,

here, because women of experience are

Prayed then and there little prayer. that just

For this dear self-satisfaction that Robbis

Your grace might seem but awkwardness, your

A little more encouragement, unhappiness and

"A little less OF smoothing the paths that are SO
