The daughters of the Princess of
Wales, lays Lady Elizabeth Hilary in
The Ladies' Home Journal, are sensi-
bly, educated. They know how to
sew so we'll that they can make their
own gowns, and their knowledge Of
every art taught them is thorough.
They can go into the kitchen and
cookbook well; they understand the
art of breadmaking, and if they ere
ever thrown upon their OWL resources
would be able to take care of them
selves. And this has been done not
only as an example to other members
in the kingdom, but because her
Royal Highness thought it right for
her daughters. | wonder how many
of the daughters of American gentle
women could make butter, sew. paint,
are good musicians, have a knowledge
of sculpture and can read and speak
three or foul languages? And yet this
is true of the daughters of the
Princess of Wales, who was herself,
while thoroughly educated, taught
all the industries that would be a part
of the knowledge of a daughter of or
binary gentlefolk. Sweet faced,
healthy looking girls, they are always
gowned in the most simple mamie
and work at their books and with
pencil and needle in q way that would
shame the daughter of many a trades
man who ought to thoroughly under
stand everything that is really wom-
ans work.
Grace Greenwoo on Small Economies.
One rainy morning q few days ago
it happened to me to surprise Grace
Greenwood sewing. do you" she
asked, use the needle?" Truth forced
me to confess that | had little knowl-
edge of its gentle mysteries. " You
are fortunate" she said, take good
care you don't learn; if one becomes a
business woman it behooves her to
know she can't succeed il she fritters
away her energies on too many small
economies.
"She mustn't work in an office all
day and then sit up half the night to
make her W dresses; If q man earns
only s. a week he doesn't try to save
by stitching up the seams OF his W
coat or trousers; if he did he would
never earn n more than So; he puts
his head into his business and
schemes to make himself more valu-
able; then he buys coats and trousers
with his increased salary. A woman
saves at the spigot and breaks down.
I've wasted half my life sewing. butt
this with a reminiscent smile-"I
vas brought up to sew and | like 1t"
How People Disguise Themselves.
Most of us hide behind DISCUSSES.
Some do it innocently, from shyne SIS.
They shrink from standing in naked
personality before he world. So they
cloak themselves in mannerisms.
Usually there are lonely souls which
brood over themselves. Thus in
isolated farm houses, whittier the
poets send us for the simplicities of
nature, one is likely to find more
alterations and tricks of manner than
in our city dwellings.
The affectation OF a quality, of an
accomplishment, is a covert roguery.
The covert rogue picks your pocket
in his game of hide-and-seek with
society. But the man who would win
your esteem, admiration, affection,
confidence, by appearing to be what
he is not, is a rogue so subtle that he
often ends in deceiving himself.
There is the sweet infantile creature
who shippers and writhes, and drops
her chin to look up from under her
lashes, and uses all manne of guile to
show how guileless she is. There is
the strong-minded woman VINO talks
in chest tones, is always positive and
holds advanced opinions on all points
borrowed opinions, since the
strength of her mind is not in the
direction of originating any. There
are the ignorant people who affect
culture.
This sort of dishonesty gulls only
the dullard. Such Alterations are
open advertisements of poverty, since
no one affects what he possesses
