A BOY AND HIS FATHER,

Striking boy never improves
him, writes Edward w. Box in
"At Home with the Editor" ia the
July Ladies' Home j Journal. Every
blow given a boy removes him
Just so far from his fathers con
tdence. 1t is bad sign when a
son fears his father. The parent
should gain the respect, the conf.
denee and the love of a son. This
ne can do with firmness of dis
cipline. A boy admires firmness
in his father just as much as we
busiu ess men admire that same
quality in each other. So with a
boy. His admiration of tirmnets
in his father may not be based up.
on judgement, but by his very in
stinct he respects II. A boys re-
spect for, his father is gained in
proportion as he knows that his
yes means yes, and his no means
no. Firmness of character and
unwayeriDg discipline will do
more for a boy than all the pun.
ishment father can inflict upon
him. The one develops respect;
the other develops passion and
resentment.

We hear such thoughtless com.
ments as these every day. Very
often we make them ourselves, and
it never presents itself to us that
they may have another meaning,
deeper than the one OH the surface.
Any one who heard them, and
paused to consider them at all,
would conclude at once that we'll
dressed people were the only ones
worth any consideration, and that
people who did not dress were not
ridicule. The human soul, with
its great aspirations and struggles
and failures or triumphs, is ignored,
not for the body, the husk i'll which
that soul wraps itself, but for the
mere outer-Covering of that body,

speakable envy on the little girl

more expensive than her own. Re-
member this is getting to be the

And so say, pass over the cloth
ing, pretty and elegant or poor and
unattractive though it may be, and
try to judge the life beneath rather
than the garments OH the outside.
OF course we would prefer that all
should be clothed in becoming
attire, merely for the sake of our
love for the beautiful, but aside
from that, what does it matter?
The real question is not How was

& 'S' N'AN j
.~NCE upon a time, a great
~ many years ago, a family
lived in a certain city, a father and
mother, with girls and boys grow.
ug up around them. The father
was a mechanic, and worked in
some of the great shops. The moth
er did her homework, raised her
children and took in plain sewing.
None of the children received any
education. They had no time. As
soon as they were old enough they
went out to work-the girls i'll box
factories and the boys in the shop
With their father. They lived,
huddled together in two or three
little rooms. There was nothing
pretty or attractive in those rooms.
Not a picture adorned the walls;
not a rug covered the floors. There
was not even pretty thing about
the girls dresses, though they, like
other girls, were fond of pretty
things. And they lived this bar
rem life-for what? To save money.
They had the poorest food on the
table, they bought no article until
they were driven to it by grim
necessity, and so they worked, and
lived, and saved money. After
awhile they had enough to buy a
lot, and they bought it. After
lwhile-a long, long while-they
had money enough to build a pref.
ty house on the lot. This had
oeen the goal of their ambition.
For this they had worked and saved
all these years. And the house
was finished, and they filled it
with beautiful furniture, and
moved i'll. And one week later
when they came home from work
they found their home in ashes.

Oh, yes, believe that the ap-
parel oft proclaims the man, but it
wouldn't make a good rule to go
by. Sometimes, for instance, good
clothing proclaims the gentleman,
and sometimes it proclaims the fact
that the wearer has managed to
dodge his tailor. Sometimes the
rouge garb of a workman covers a
gentle and unobtrusive hero, who
goes on his quiet way, carrying the
heavy burdens that have fallen to
his lot and making no complaint.
Very often the plan and unattrac.
tive garments which make a great
deal of airy laughter for fashionable
women, cover the form of a woman
whose days are filled with kind
nesses and whose life is one long
sacrifice for others.
