Where Nnny Mothers Fail.

A woman's first duty is always to her
family, vet she need not make herself So
cial nonenity in consequence OF fulhlllng 10
the very highest degree the eXactlons OF her
office. 1t is in this that many loving, de
voted mothers make sad mistake. They
see no further than the childhood of the lit
tie folks given to their care, and in perform
ing the manifold duties incident to the ear
lier years of their sons and daughters lives
they forget that the babies will soon bios
som out into observant young people, who
will be much happierif their mother proves
a congenial companion instead of having
deteriorated into domestic cipher.
1t is as much the duty of mothers to keep
well informed as it is for them to see that
their little ones are properly fed and
clothed. In keeping pace with the doihgS
of the outside world they are but laying up
for themselves store OF future delight, Tor
when that day comes when the nursery no
longer claims the greater part OF their time
and attention, instead of realizing that
they have been left behind in the dark,
they will be able to prove an interesting
companion to both husband and children,
who have kept pace day by day with the
progress OF the rld.-Philadelphia

Just 20 to Your window the next rainy
day and notice the first woman who passes.
See how she is forced to concentrate all the
energies Of mind and body on herself and
her castings One delicate hand clngs des-
perately to the unwieldy umbrella; the
other is ccaselessly struggling to keep firm
hold Of the multitudinous draperies, and if
book, basket or bundle claims share OF
her attention her case is pitiabe indeed.
Down goes one fold upon the wet flag
stone, detected only by an ominous flap
ping against the ankles when the garment
has become saturlted-a loosened hold on
the umbrella, of which it takes advantage
and Immediately sways imminent over the
gutter-a convulsive and random clutch at
the petticoats The umbrella righted, a
sudden gust of wind threatens to bear it
away, and one hand not being sufficient to
detain it the other involuntaltly comes to
the rcscue-swecp 20 the draperies down on
the pavement; then another clutch, anoth-
er adiustment-f6r march! and so on
to the dreary, drnggled end.
Stalk-stalk-s talk-comes up the man
behind her. Stalk-stalk-he has passed.
Stalk-stalk- stalk-he is out Of sight be-
fore she has passed single block.
OF course he is one sinewy hand lightly
posing his umbrella, waterproof overcoat,
CLOSE buttoucd to the chin" tight lifting
trousers tucked into enormous india rubber
boots What is the storm to him?
Is this small matter? Beloved friend,
smaller matters than these have swayed
the world, and ten thousand such small
matters mark the childhood, youth and
maturity Of twice ten thousand small men
and womcn.--Gail Hamilton in Men and
