I've thought about that tower so

Mrs. Mills entertained her own views
as to that, but she kept them to herself
at present, only saying: I'm very
sorry, Mrs Graham. affairs have taken
such turn with you. for | think both
you and Mr.. Graham deserve a little

morning, she took her leave.
II declare" said old Mr. Graham,
sit does a person good just to look at
Mis- Mills; she always makes things
look brighter, somehow"
Yes" said his wife, ''She is sort of
cheering"
That night after tea when little Mrs.
Mills got her husband all to herself
for a good old talk, she told him of her
visit to the Grahams, and all the old
lady had told her of their once cherished
plans, then added:
And, Henry, don't you think we
could send those two dear old people

Indeed | do, my dear; but do you

WORK THAT NOURiSHES.
Under Ripe Conditions Toll Develops es
Truly as Exercise.


One of the secrets of a life of grow
ing power is to be nourished rather
than depleted by ones work. Activity
is healthful; strain is harmful. Men do
not die of oTerwOrk. but of maiadjust-
ment to the conditions of their work;
for under ripe conditions work devel-
ops just as truly as exercise, but under
wrong conditions it depletes and de-
stroys. The great workers of the
world have accumulated force rather
than parted with it, and have gath
cred richness of material and the power
of action by the putting forth of their
energies; so that their lives have moved
toward elimination rather than come
to an early fruition followed by long
decline. It is easy to detect the differ
ence between the man whois fed by
his work and the man who is drained
by it. There is an ease, a force and a
zest about the work that nourishes,
which is never long characteristic Of
the work that depletes; for the essen
sential of the work which nourishes is
its free and unimpeded expression Of
the personality of the worker. 1t is the
overflow of his own personal energy
and not the strenuous putting forth OF
toilsome effort It is significant that
the great artists, as rule, are i'm
mensely productive. Michael Angelo,
Raphael Rubens, Shakespeare, Bolzac
and men of their class attest their
genius not only by the quality of their
work but by it's quantity also. This
means that they have secured the right
adjustments to their conditions, and
that work, instead of being a drain,
nourishes and develops the worker.
The man who works with delight and
ease grows by means of his activity,
and the first secret to be learned in
order to rid work Of worry and wear is
to take it in a reposeful spirit, to re-
fuse to be hurried, to exchange the
sense Of being mastered by ones occu-
patton for the consciousness of mastery
To take work easily and quietly, not
because one is Indifferent to it, but be-
cause one is fully equal to it, is to take
the first step towards turning work
into play.-OutloOk.

latest, most approved style it is ten
inches square, is finished with a fringe
and is embroidered in one corner only.
When the table is laid these embroi-
dered bits are all turned toward the
center, where they decorate the cloth,
and the plain portion is left free for
the plate. They are really very deco
rative, and if you possess a dozen of
them and few caraffe doilies, besides
q centerpiece, you are we'll supplied.
The multitude of smaller ones will
hardly be missed, and you can always
console yourself with the thought that
many object to the too great accumu-
lation of linen bits.
The wreath and the bow-knot designs
still hold sway. The former is used
almost exclusively for the round doilies,
and the latter is seen upon all sizes and
all sorts. A chrrming set recently sent
to bride is all done in wreaths of diff
ferent flowers, no two being exactly
alike, and the whole effect is dainty in
the extreme. For these only solid work
is used. The flowers are necessarily
small and do not admit of the more
sketchy styles. The work involved is,
of course, considerable, but linen en-
dures so well and the colors of to-day
are made SO lasting that it is thor
oughly well worth the doing.
Ribbons and flowers combined are
always charming and suggestive of the
best French taste Just now they are
very popular and are rivaled only by
the wreaths. Most needle workers
make the ribbon solid as well as the
flowers, but one clever woman has de-
vised rapid and effective method Of
her own. She first outlines the entire
design, then fills the space between the
lines with single cat stitching. The
result is really striking and well worth
the trying. The contrast between the
solid flowers and the lighter ribbon is
charming and novel, besides being very
little work. A most successful design
of the sort is of white violets tied with
pale yellow ribbon, and it is seldom
most exacting work.
Luncheons promise to be popular the
season through, and the bare table will
be much in use both for indoor and the
piazza functions. These charming bits
of napery will so find a speedy demand
and may we'll employ all ones leisure
time. Linen is delightful stuff to
handle In the warm summer days, and
an array of well selected silks in a
natty basket makes picture not to be
despised.-N. Y. Recorder.

THE BOY AT HOME.
There Is Where He Should Receive His
Preparation for Business Life.

1t is in the home life that boy must
have formed for him the ha bits that
will win him success in the outer
world, and here everything depends
upon +he parents, and, as | said before,
particularly upon the mother 1t is
she who can strike the wrong or the
right key for boys whole day in the
manner in which she sends him from
home. If, in the morning, he is scolded
for this, and scolded for that, he will
start the day wrong, and show the eff
fects of it in his work during the en-
tire day. If, on the other hand, he
goes from bright, sunny home with
his mothers kiss as his last good-by,
depend upon it the day will be bright
for him. His spirits are affected
just as he starts the day.
1t is sad enough that so
many boys must be sent out into
the world to earn money at too young
an age, but if this must be so, the
hardships can be lightened for them.
Again and again have l seen boys GO
ing to their desks in the morning with
red, swollen eyes and look that be-
tokened anything but pleasant home
leving.
am inclined to believe. too, that our
boys do not, in great many cases, re-
ceive from their parents that degree OF
sympathetic interest in their work that
ought to be extended them. If boy
feels interested in his daily duties and
the people with whom he comes into
contact, he naturally likes to talk
about them over the dinner-table OF
during the evening at home. Parents
who enter into proper spirit
of this interest on the part OF
a boy are the exception rath.
er than the rule. They look
upon their boys going out into the
world as a dire necessity, and once he
reaches home they do not like to be re-
minded of it. This is better in theory
than it is in practice. If boy, filled
with an ambition to become factor in
the business world which is yet all sc
strange to him. fails to find sympa-
thetic audience in his father or his
mother. his enthusiasm receives blow.
Parents should remain quiet factors
in their boys success in the Office-nOt
visible ones. Some mothers-and fa.
theirs, too-have a way of too directly
entering into their boys lives, and
visiting the office where he is en-
ployed. AS a rule, employers resent
this, and their resentment is just
one. Sometimes circumstances make
it possible for parents to meet their
boys employer in pleasant and natur'
al manner, and under such conditions
the meeting can be made advanta
geous. outgoing to the office, and try
ing to advance his interests, is unwise
Interference is resented by the employ
er, as l have said, and it is injurious to
tue boy. since it is far better for him to
feel that he stands for himself in the
business: world, and that he can not
rely upon anyone's assistance. The
employer feels the home influence indi
rectly, and it counts far more than i

MR.. PLUMROD'S PICNIC.
1t Might Have Been a Jolly Affair Bu
for One Thing.

for One Thing.
Ever since the opening of the hot sea-
son Mr. Plumrod had urged the several
members of his family to consider what
a vast amount of JOY there was to be
obtained in picnic. He had found it
necessary to urge consideration of the
matter because Mrs. Plumrod and the
girls treated it with something that
looked very much to him like indiffer
ence, and he felt precisely as he told
them, that day in the woods beside a
babbling brook would work almost in
eStimable benefit in their physical
economics and would make life much
easier to live for weeks afterward.
So at last the ladies Plumrod con-
sented to think it over and the process
from this point to the setting of a date
being a very simple one, the prospect
seemed very bright for the realization
of Mr.. Plumrod's dreams.
They owned no horses. Therefore it
was necessary to depend upon a con-
veyance from the livery for their trans
portation, and this with few minor
matters, was to be attended to by Mr..
L IIuHIIOO.
As the day drew near Mr.. Plumrod's
enthusiasm gathered great strength,
and he skipped about like boy,
thrusting his head into the kitchen
and shifting the air; going into cor
ners and rubbing his hands gleefully
together; throwing queries as to the
coming feast at the girls, and altogeth-
er making himself somewhat of
bother. Mrs Plumrod was even heard
to say to Emma, the eldest daughter
that she would be glad when it was
over, and Emma had echoed the senti
ment, adding that she hoped pa would
be satisfied after they had worked and
worried so much to give him a picnic
while Laura and Jennie, the second
and third daughters, had shocked the
family beyond expression by saying in
concert at the dinner table the day
previous to the event Darn: picnics
anyhow"
They had agreed to start at eight
o'clock in the morning, and at that
hour they were drawn up on the front
porch, waiting for the team. The
minutes flew into hours, and it came
not Just as the clock struck nine Mr..
Plumrod, with his face almost burst
ing with vexation, rushed to the tele-
phone and called for the livery.
Hello, there" he shouted, where's
that team?"
''This is Plumrod."
'What's that-didnt order one? Well.
send one now"
''Hey-not team in town?"
''B-r-r-r-r-r-r-rl"
When he returned to the porch his
face bore look like that of a maD
crushed in battle. He was meek be-
yond expression

thing" he remarked, land now | know

Who Might Mamma Be?

Bottesini, the celebrated doublebasA
soloist, was once engaged to play at q
concert at Monte Carlo. At the end Of
the performance young lady walked
up to him, and, shaking hands, mado
some complimentary remarks on the
concert. Il remember seeing you at
mammals" she said. "And who might
your mamma be?' asked the musician,
who had been wondering who the
young lady was: ''Oh, the queen Of
England" replied the lady, who was
none other than the present Empress
Frederick.
