Rosamond, who is still in the nursery. At
1880 they go for walk On their return
they have dinner, and this meal Mrs. Glider
considers of great importance. 1t consists OF
carefully cooked beef or mutton, the different
vegetables in season, and plain
pudding of some kind. Pork and veal they
never have to eat, and they are allowed no
sweets before their early dinner. After
dinner they take another walk, if the
weather permits, or else have frolic in
their large attic playroom.
All Sorts of Accomplishments.
Then come their extra lessons, music,
carving, fencing and dancing on different
davs. The oldest boy is learning 10 fence
at the fencing club and to ride, the oldest
girl and Younger boy are studying wood
carving at a reighboring school for manual
training, as their mother wishes them to be
clever and skilful with their fingers as we'll
as their brains. AT until there is an
other plavtime, followed by their supper OF
bread and milk, and, after supper they go
to bed at different hours between and y,
according to their ages.
When they give party, that delight OF
the childish heart, it is at o'clock in the
afternoon, and their refreshments are cake
and ice cream.
All mothers like their babies to have
pretty things to wear, and Mrs. Glider is no
exception to the rule, but she is careful that
IL shall not be hampering prettiness. She
chooses their clothing herself with great
care, and endeavors always to have it not
only comfortable but picturesque, and for
that reason she avoids, for her girls at least,
readv-made garments with their sameness
of design, and has made Tor them instead
little trocks and coats that are suited to

plainly but tastefully," she said, while
speaking of this subject. ''They do not
think about their clothes, and l do not want
them to, but like to indulge in certain
amount of astheticism in dressing my girls.
You cannot do that with boys, though; they
prefer to look like other boys, and are I'M
happy if they do not.
Dorothea Has PIayroom.
Nine-year-old Dorothea has a little play
room, ali her own, in which she takes great
pride and delight In it she keeps her dolls
and books and other girlish treasures. 1t
was there that Mrs. Glider received me the
other morning, when she was kind enough
to tell me something OF her children's lives
and their manner of education. While we
were talking, Francesca, Mrs. Cleveland's
namesake, came into the room. She is
winsome baby with big brown eyes, sunny,
chestnut halr. cNeekS ana Illtle Touilu Dare
arms as brown as nuts, and q manner half

''Of course" Mrs. Glider said, "if one of
nv children were o show a strong special
talent in any direction, its education would
be modified accordingly, but, in general
way, it is as l have told you. They keep
regular and early hours, spend a good por-
tion Of each day in the open air, eat all they
wish of simply prepared nourishing food,
with not too many sweets, and devote
moderate amount of time TO studies, varied
so that their bodies may be trained as well
as their minds"
Mrs. Glider is good mother in the best
sense of the word. She is modern woman
interested in the work of the world, and she
watches with sympathy and understanding
the various things that other women are
doing in these latter days, but she feels that
her own first duty is to those of her own
household.

ness, ''that woman with a family of chill
dren finds her best work in her own home"
