Unhandy Hands.

They were beautiful hands, soft,
white, shapely, but they had not been
trained. They couldn't keep accounts,
or use the needle, or the broom, or the
dish-clotll, or the mop, or the cooking
utensils. They had at one time glided
skillfully over the piano keys and
welded the pencil to some purpose !;
they were graceful hands and made
pretty gestures, or folded themselves
harmoniously over the soft draperies
beneath them.
BY and by the ample provision that
had been left to keep these hands IN
idleness was wasted because the hands
couldn't keep accounts; wicked men
took advantage of these helpless hands
and stole their treasures from them,
and then days of darkness and trouble
came.
The owner of the hands had to board
because she didn't know how to cook,
and, of course, she had to eat what
was set before her, and so her digestive
apparatus got all out of order. She
had to hire her dresses made, and was
subject to the dishonesty practiced by
some dressmakers, who charge a good
price for poor work and appropriate a
portion to themselves of the ample pat
tern they require for a dress. She
couldn't manage her business affairs,
and so had to trust them to lawyer,
who, in her case, proved untrusty, and
made exorbitant charges for work
which was poorly done. At every
point where she came in contact with
the world she lost and lost, until at
last she was glad to find a refuge in the
church home which in the days of her
prosperity she had helped to found.
If she had only known how to take
care of Just her simple self, she might
have lived on the wreck of her fortune
in modest comfort and independence.
This is sketch from life. Just such
histories are transpiring every day,
and yet girls are permitted to grow to
womanhood without knowing how to
do what is indispensable for their own
personal comfort and existence even.
If a girl can't learn to cook in her
mothers kitchen, there are cooking
schools where she can learn. If she
cannot sew with her mothers seam
stress, there are sewing schools where
the children of the wealthy are taught
the Use of the needle in embroidery
and plain sewing. She can use the
broom in her own room. She ought
tu have trained hands.

Dress at Home.

The Importance of neat and tasteful
house-dressing cannot be overestimat-
ed. The matron who appears before
the members of the family in a shah
by, soiled wrapper, and makes the en-
cuse-if indeed she takes the trouble to
make one at all-that ''it is so much
more comfortable" has little idea of
the possible consequence of such q
course. Could she but realize that her
dress is an evil example to her daugh-
ters, and one productive of consequent
ces that will reach far beyond her own
span of life; that her husband and
sons cannot fail to draw comparisons
between her dress and that of ladies
they meet in other homes, and that
these comparisons cannot fail to de-
crease their respect for her, she might
be induced to give more attention to
her personal appearance. Not even
the burden of care and constant en-
ployment can furnish sufficient eN-
cuse for careless personal habits, for
few things are more important to the
well-being of family. There is an
old saying to the effect that an untidy
mother has disobedient children and
while neither parents nor children
may realize the why or wherefore of it,
yet there is always lack of respect,
and an indifference to the authority Of
a mother who takes no pride in her
personal appearance. And it is not
the mother alone upon whose shoul-
ders rests the burden of responsibility
for home neatness and order in dress !;
the father has his duties to look after
as we'll, and should never fail to insist
on the younger members of the family
presenting themselves with well-kept
hands, clean faces, neatly brushed
hair, and orderly dress, at least, at ev-
cry meal where the family assemble.
