"she Is a simple Home Body. -

Sometimes one hears il said of a good
wife and mother that ''she's a regular home
body" The phrase is simple, but what a
world of ennobling qualities II indicates,
and what universe of frivolities it ex-

deed Heavens best gift to man." and the

Dashing ladies, whose mission it is to set
the fashions, won't you look in upon your
gentle sister as she sits in her well ordered
nursery making the children happy with
her presenceg Note how she adjusts their
little difficulties, and admonishes, encour-
ages, instructs, amuses them, as the case
may require. Do you think any nursemaid
could produce such harmony in that little
circle, Il she not an enchantress, Verify,
yes, and her charm is ''love stronger than
death" for those sweet young faces, where
you may see her smiles and frowns Though
she seldom has occasion to frown) reflected
in glee and sorrow, like sunlight and cloud

Her big and big hearted Aunt Romanoff
offended her particularly. After Marie's
illness took on so grave form she would
allow no one, nurse or otherwise, in her
bedroom at night. Her aunt therefore
made up her mind that she would not go
to bed herself, and for weeks at n time
every night she stretched herself out on a
mat in front of Marie's door and spent the
night.
II was quite pathetic to think of this
enormous, tender hearted woman stretched
out on her back smoking cigarettes
through the night hours and listening
carefully to her beloved niece's breathing,
ready at the least sound of coughing to go
IN and cover her up under preterse of hav-
ing herself just risen from bed.
Under these conditions it would not do
Tor the old aunt to be all dressed, as that
would excite Marie's suspicious. Conse-

Lady Florence Dixie thus describes the
life of a certain woman she knows hut
does not name. 'Since childhood" she
says, "she has always been an early riser.
Straight from her bed she plunges into a
cold tub, and emerges therefrom warm and
glowing; she feels the blood coursing
through her veins, and the rude health
which a good circulation always sngen-
ders. That cold bath she never neglects:
summer or winter she welcomes IL. Then

sports-rowing. riding. cricket. lawn ten
mis-. etc.-she is at home, and some say is a
