"For What we are About

Now, we are going to show our ma
tional and individual gratitude this
month, by direction of the President
writes Robert J. Brudette in his ini'
mitable department in the November
Ladies' Home Journal. We are @
grateful people. If you don't believe
it, see US eat. Some of us--and these
are not men---are so thankful we will
not go to church at all on Thanksgiv.
ing Day. We will stay at home and
get dinner for a host of other grateful
people,. 1t is the dinner that makes
us thankful. Some Thanksgiving Day,
just you pitch the dinner over the
alley fence about ten minutes before Il
o'clock. Then see what a devoutly
grateful. what a sweetly thankful
crowd will come home from church.
On second thought, perhaps you had
better not wait until they come home.
You had better run. And keep on run.
ninS until you get to the middle of the
Great American Desert. And stay
there.

Christianity and Millinery.

1t is difficult task for me to har-
monize Christianity and cruelty; they
do not seem consistent Perhaps the
heart and the head do not hold very
close relationship, but L believe they
do. think little of what is in the
heart should be expressed on the head
and yet, great deal of this appearance
of cruelty is thoughtlessness, but,
have we right to be thoughtless
How many beautiful women enter the
churches every Sunday. and bow their
heads in prayer, to the loving Father
of all, while their bonnets testify how
slightly they protect or love His little
ones.
Let your heart speak a bonner
with dead bird on it. cannot be truly
artistic or enjoyable, it tells of innocent
little creatures plunged alive into hot
water or otherwise cruelty killed, Ill
tells story too sad to leave one atom
of admiration for the bonnet; or much
for the wearer.-A. J. G. Norris, III

Social Etiquette,

The announcement is frequently
seen that kissing as social salutatlon
has gone out of vogue and should DE
tabooned by people who profess to
follow the best social usage. This is,
hover very strong statement OF the
case, the reign of social osculation
being by no means over. But it is
true that gradual reform has within
a year or two been in progress, as may
be noted in the behavior OF people
whose example influences society. On
this subject Good Housekeeping says:
The reform may be traced to two
causes-a gradual perception of the
fact that indiscriminate Kissing is in
exceedingly bad taste. offensive to
many people and pleasing to very few;
and the discovery that it is not only
unre6ned but is a source of danger to
health and life. The force of these
two arguments against promiscuous
kissing as a social habit has been
strong enough to produce noticeable
change in the practice of women in
society. Kissing between women has
not altogether gone out of practice
even yet, but as social greeting it is
being surely dropped, except between
relatives or very intimate friends, and
even in such circles it is becoming
less common.
The kissing habit has been carried
to its greatest extreme among English
speaking people, and people OF other
blood are often amazed and amused
by the universally and cheapnes OF
the kiss among the English nations.
The kiss, in its proper function, has
fine significance, and may be made
the vehicle of the purest emotions,
the honest expression of legitimate
feeling, greeting full of genuine, ,volun
tary sympathy and love. The kissing
habit is an abuse and misuse. 1t has
brought the kiss into disgrace and
made it vulgar; cheap and hypocriti-
cal. Be it the province of this genera
ton of refinement and education to
rescue it from it's degraded state and
restore to it's natural elevated and ele'
waiting place and use in the social econ-
omy.

domestic Museums.

They are multiplying on every hand
and are getting to be very tiresome'
The parlors in some houses are so crow,
ded with furniture that one can hardly
move about without falling over some
thing 1 or throwing something down.
Bronzes on pedestals, bric-a- -brac on
small tables, fill every available corner
The walls are convered with pictures
that often "kill'' each other, so in
harmonious are they. The mante!I,
piece, hanging cabinets, brackets, wall
pockets. overflow with curios. Dining
rooms and bedrooms get filled up in
the same way, until there really isn't
room for people. And the query seems
pertinent, Are houses made for people
to live in, or for furniture to be stored
in are the residents primaries or mere
incidentals?
Keeping house becomes very Sc
rious matter when there is so much tC
keep, so many articles to be busted and
looked after, unless one has an army
of servants. For the woman with
none or with one an easy life lies in the
direction of simplicity in the style oI
living.

That some people are better, sweetel

That he no accepts many gifts pays
dearly for them?
TO come in with pleasant thoughts

To defer the discussion of vital ques.
tions until after breakfast.
TO make the best of the dreary

That to get something for nothing is
contrary to the laws of nature and
mankind?

What Is The Gain ?

Self.sacrifice comes natural to
women. Much of it is born in them,
and what is not is ground into them
from their childhood by education;
For the sake of her home duties a girl
gives nm amusements and privileges
which her brother would never be eN-
nected to forego for the like reason.
As She grows older, this spirit grows,
encouraged by all tradition and outside
influence. Often its power masters mel
altogether, and her life becomes one
long devotion to endless labor aho
acceptance of unpleasant things, thal
the. pleasant part of living may be kep'
sacred for the rest of the family.
The purely useless side OF this entlre
self-abnegation must sometimes strlke
the beholder. Such effacing OF lndl,
viduality is not uncommon. AND II
gives as little real benefit to the family
a. it,does to the individual.
Putting aside the moral effect on the
Younger members of family, brought
up to regard their mother as machine
run for the family service, does the wo,
man who SO gives herself for the wei
being of her family really accomplish
all she desires?
If she work without pause or slacken
ing day in and day out, does she
always feel satisfied, with the admlrlne
on lockers, that it is the no6lest way te
spend her health and energies?
If she renounces all recreation and
higher life for herself, and gives up
communion of mind and spirit with
her husband and children, ls the re-
ward adequate that is paid to them II IN
q better kept house, q more bountliuily
supplied larder or handsomer clothes
IL over fatigue causes her to become
petulant or complaining. is not the at
mosphere of home more greatly IN,
iured than the added cleaning and
cooking can repair?
If she is too worn out to give SYM
pathy and help 10 the children's, joys
and sorrows, what do the finer clothes
and furniture obtained avail?
And if, as sometimes happens, out
ragged nature gives way, and Others
must step into the breach, do their own
work and the played out woman's us
well, and take care Of her into the
bargain, what has she gained by her
extreme efforts that she has not lost oy
the break down?
A life laid down in a worthy cause
is not lost, but gained; but is this cause
worthy?-Harper's Bazaar.

There is always more or less risk in
whom we think we know well. But
perhaps no risk Of this sort is so great
as that of imputlng motives to a child
The fears, the longings, the ambitions,
the reasonings, of our own children,
are. in most cases, all but concealed
from us. Yet those incessant motives
and reasonings we regard either ~
thovgh they were wholly unreasonable,
or as though they did not exist. A
boy of six, as the time drew near when
he was to put on trousers, developed
an antipathy to the proposed change
in spite of every advantage shat could
be pictured to him. When he went,
obediently, to be measured, the tailor
told him that he was q curiosily.--a
boy who didn't want to be promoted
in that way. In the course of week
he secretly revealed to his mother that
his reason was that he, was afraid that
this sacrifice of his exterior personality
might ALLEVIATE his little sister; or, as
he expressed it, II am afraid that
sister won't like me any more" Prob.
ably no one of his adult ancestors could
have guessed that motive like that
underlay the childs objecting. His
sister was just half his age and tn,
two were beautifully devoted to each
other. Unreasonable as such a feal
may appear, it was in high sense,
from the standpoint of his limited en-
perience, wholly reasonable. Such
motives and reasons, or such want OF
them, as we are content to ascribe to
children, would be deemed unfair, un
just, and offensive, if ascribed to theil
elders. Yet children are, as u rule
far more harmed by our misconcep
tions Of them than grown persons can
be. 1t is we'll to bear IN mind that
tender emotions, and sound reasonings
and high motives, often underlie the
acts Of childhood, when we are prone
to suppose that their surface appear,
ance is all that there is to them, and
that they are worthy only of our ig-
noring. of our censure, or of our pass
ing smiles.

Rules For a Clear Skin.-Don't
bathe in hard water; soften it with a
few drops of ammonia, or little bo-
rax. Don't bathe your face while it is
very warm, and never use very cold
water for it. Don't attempt to remove
dust with cold water; give your face a
hot bath, using plenty of good soap,
then give it q thorough rinslng with
water that has had the chill,taken of
of it. Don't rub your face with coarse
towel; Just remember it is not made OF
cast iron, and treat it as you would
the finest porcelain--gently and deli
cately. Don't use sponge or a linen
rag for your face, choose instead f1an'
mel one. Don't believe you can get
rid of wrinkles by filling in the crew
ices with powder. Instead give your
face Cussian bath every night; that
is. to bathe it with water so hot that
YOU wonder how you can stand it, and
then. q minute after, with cold water
that will make itglow with warmth;
dry it with soft towel and 60 to he'd,
and YOU ought to sleep like baby
while YOUR skin is growing firmer and
coming out of wrinkles, and you are
resting.

Fifteen to-day.

For the last time; dear dolly, dress you,
And carefully put you away,
You can't tell how much shall miss you,
But then am fifteen to-day.
And you're not so very much Younger
Have you nothing at parting to say!
Are you sorry our fun is all over
And that am fifteen to-day!

What rides on tho top of the hay;
What frasting in grand-mother's garrett
And now must put youa way.

And should / dare to disobey?
Now his command
Is wholly changed; he bids me stand
Aside and watch his working hand.

And shall | not his wish fulfill:
"Lie still and pray"
That is my Lords command to-day;
And will do his work his way.
