As 10 Entertaining.

Lavish entertaining Is not always the
most acceptable form OF hospitality of

Mothers and Daughters.

Ruth Ashmorc talks To mothers In The
Ladies' Home Journal concerning their at
titudes toward their daughters. Among
many good things she says:
When God gave you that little life, be
gave IL to you that You might train IL up
in the way 1t should 60, but he expected
p that mother love would mako you study
the difference bewocn ono girl and another,
and that you would discover the best wny
to make your own girl happy Sometimes,
when she gets TO be 10, you complain that
you had hoped 90 find so much comfort in
her, hut that she seeks strangers instead
OF you and finds her greatest happiness
away from you. Think back during years.
Remember when the child came TO you
with the story Of her pleasure, and You
told her you were too busy to listen. Re
member when she came into the parlor
where you were entertaining friends and
you told her to go out; that grown up peo.
pie wanted to talk about things she must
not listen TO. AS you did this why arc
you surprised that she should bo far away
from you nowi Why should you wonder
that her closest friend is not her mother
but some young girl who lives in the
neighborhoodr
In your old ago IL will all come up be-
fore you--the mistakes that you have
made. And you will realize that not only
have you failed in your duty toward God
In not caring for tho soul that he trusted
to you, but that your sins have come back
to you, and you are suffering for them.
Your daughter cares nothing for you. You
lacked interest in her when she was young
ard now she is not interested in you. IL
you live with her, she finds you a burden
She is as far from you rs If sho were not
tlcSh of your flesh, and you are alone and
old, and tho consultations of love and graf
itude do not come to you. Do you want
an old age like that?

There Is Chicago building and loan
association which has great faith I'm wom-
en- borrowers. Running over an expert
cnco Of eight years, the association has not
lost cent from It's female stockholders,
and the secretary Is firmly Of the opinion
that when a woman starts out TO secure a
home she does not cease her efforts until
sho gets st. The first loan The association
made to wopan was on lot out at Thir-
ty-flrst and Wallace streets. 1t was in tho
nature OF an experiment, and some of tho
officers thought 1t bad policy, but the wo-
man stated the case this way: I'VE arc
paying $40 a month rent, and know we
could just as well pay that amount to-
ward the purchase of home" She sue
cecdcd In getting $3.50, with which the as
sociation put up brick cottage on her
lot Since that time she has added anofh-
or story to the building, and payment
has never bccn missed.
II have Observed" said the secretary,
"that woman after n home, IL she has 10
good husband, manages 10 economize In
such n way that she forms the best kind
of a borrower. We had one once who fell
behind several months, but she kept con-
tinually coming TO the Office and declar-
Ing that she would come out all right, and
she did That has been my experience
with ell the women TO whom we have
loaned money. ."-Chicago Letter.

Simply this--the women attending the

This n enly AN example Of what occurs
all along the line Of. tho various manly
pursuits taken up by women. The trouble
with the entire army Of advanced women
Is just here. They stop far short OF the end
aimed at. They are determined 70 assert
their rights as equal to mems In every
thing. All well, let It be 30. Let them
enter into anything, everything done by
their brothers, but for heavens sake let

that they have made II lawful for them TO

Tie Dining Room.

A farmers wife writes: IL the laundry
bill must be kept as small rs possible (and
many clean tablccloths are one of tho lux
urios), little rcpressing OF the crcnses with
hot flatiron will freshen the cloth pro-
vidcd it is not soilcd, but simply limp. DO
not be tempted TO leave your table set un-
less you have dining room used for no
other purpose, and even then don't. I"
There is so very little labor saved, and
nothing gives such boarding house or
restaurant air TO a room rs an ever ready
table. Every meal should be placed before
one with dainty freshness all its own, and
nothing is so fatal to this idea as the per-
potually set table. IL possible, have few
freshly picked flowers every meal, partic-
ularly at breakfast, but here, again, fresh
ness is the main thing. Do not let the
same flowers appear twice. Better single
newly gathered rose than the same old
bunch meal after mcal Food In small
quantities. is always more appetizing than
In large. DO not put on the whole loaf OK
cake, but few prcttily arranged pieces.
The whole loaf OF bread on its wooden
trencher is an exception.

The great controversy about women's
work has, am glad 10 see, brought out
two definite facts--the one that women
can, VIII and must work; the othor that
unssilled work is OF no value In the labor
market. and that where women do equally
good work with men their wages should
be the same. Not long ago was shocked
10 hear the editor of loading paper say
that be employed u good many women on
his staff not from chivalry, not from a
sense of justice, bur simply because he
could get refined, educated woman to do
tho work OF common, uncducated man
at the sainc wages
Now this Is essentially wrong When
women agroe TO undnrsell the men, they
are doing incalculable harm both to their
own cause a'id 60 that Of tho men. Wom-
en- up to tho presont have boon lamentably
deficient in SELF respect and in the feeling
OF class union The last thing woman
learns is chat she must not live to herself
and her family alone, hut that she has
duty 10 the great community at largo, ard
that love fDr her own dear ones must be
completed By tho altruism Of true cnlight-
enment ibis, and this only, is the cure
for the miserable salaries with which wo-
men have hitherto been content. A higher

Tried to Kill His Wife.

Buffalo, N. y, April 1O.-George
Grawtiz came home drunk Saturday
night. He had been on spree fol
three weeks and his wife was not
surprised at his condition. He ate
his supper in silence and then went
up stairs into the garrett The wife
heard him throwing things about,
bat paid no attention to him.
About half an iour later Grawitz
game down stairs with two old fash
toned shotguns. They were loaded
to the muzzle and Grawitz was ugly,
He made for his wife and handing
one of the guns to her he shouted,
"Now shoot or get shct!" The poor
woman took the weapon and stag
gered around the room, vainly at
tempting to get away. She did not
know how to handle the gun and it
vent off in her hand,
The drink crazed man took this
as an acceptance Of challenge for a
duel, and raising his gun to the
shoulder took deliberate aim at his
wife. Almost paralyz ID with fear,
the woman saw only ore avenue of
escape. 1t was desperate chance,
but she took it. Sh, made sudden
jump just as he fired and went
through a window, carrying glass and
sash with her. Grawitz fired a sec
ond shot through the window, but it
did not take effect.
Mrs. Grawitz dragged herself to
the house of a neighbor. who cared
for her while the police were sent
for. 1t took three policemen to sub
due Grawi;z.
