A great deal of nonsense has been writ
ten in these latter days on woman's vo-
cation, as though a woman. when under
the necessity of earning her bread, had
not a right TO do anything that she
could do well and successfully. Success
seems 20 be all that the world requires
or. for that matter, that II ever required
True it is that impediments have been
thrown in the way of woman's work
that are now removed. IL Is also true
that there are many vocations that are
better adapted TO men than women and
where women are not as successful In
the attempt at such callings as men. In
the same way, there are certain callings
in which women have always been more
notably successful than men and COM
mand today, as specialists, higher prices.
There are many vocations now opened
to the employment of educated women
who are willing to work hard for a sue
aessful end.
The number of women who work for
a living must necessarily be limited. The
majority of women by the natural laws
Of heaven must always be wives and
mothers under the protection Of home
life and absorbed in home cares. 1t is
only the unfortunate few who are COM
PEELED to neglect these home cares to
earn wages outside. 1t has been the
fashion Of late TO turn all sorts of home
duties into remunerative work. Among
other suggestions for employment Of
women is that of stocking darnilg. Tie
truth Of the matter is that such EN-
ployment would pay no one, not even
the scrubwOmdn or seamstress who
works at 81 a day. The cost of having
stockings darned properly at this rate
would more than cover the fun cost Of
the stocking, such great strides has
notwithstanding made in these recent
years. So it would be only a very rich
woman with dainty hose who could af-
ford to hire a stocking darner.
While women stin do their mending
and darning, they do ii al odd hours
when there is no special loss of time.
II their time is too valuable for them
to do this il is chea per for them TO buy
new hose. The same is true of the vO-
cation Of canning fruit. 1t would pay
no woman TO so into the business of
canning fruit except in wealthy families,
VINO are willing TO pay a fancy price for
skilled labor. Even then she would be
likely TO be in the humiliating position
of being classed with the servants, as
so large a number of families i'm this
country have no other criterion of social
distinction than that of wealth.
In England the word LADY help has
a definite meaning and implies a position
which would never by accident be con-
founded with that Of an ordinary do
nestle servant. There are many fanci-
full vocations suggested 10 women which
the same objection must apply. They
would not pay. Where women can can
fruit and act as their own salesman for
il they will sooner or later find a sue
cessful market for it, providing the work
is well done and is conducted on bust
ness principles.-N. Y. Tribune.

The NomnnIy Art.

Sewing Is a most womanly art. A
woman Is never more feminine than when
she has a needle and thread In her hand.
It is the right Of every little girl to be
taught to sew neatly, even If It costs the
mother some self sacrifice. Very few
women are wholly exempt from the
needle. on the contrary. almost every
woman must take more o. les care OF

To pass the time pleasantly and gener-

upon must pronounce some geographical

his seat. The leader prOnounces another
letter and counts as before, and the cap

Another contest which calls for some
work and rapid thinking is to transpose
correctly the misplaced letters of words.

To Train the Baby in Beauty.

Have you ever noticed how many peo-
pie have ears which project eyes which
look bald because they have no eye
lashes and brows, and thumbs which are
broad and fiat on the end? That is be-
cause in infancy their mothers were
either indifferent or ignorant Of few
simple observances which would have
cbviated all these physical defects.
Babies for the first few years are really
only tiny bundles of malleable cartilage.
and it behOoves mothers to see that this
cartilage is not trained in the way is
should not go.
About the ears. Many men and women
today have to thank the bonnet strings
of infant years for aural append2ges
which establish resemblance between
them and donkeys. Mothers should
avoid tying anything behind the baby's
ears. A good plan, when the baby is
asleep, Is to lay it on its side, 50 the
little head will press the ear fiat. So
common has become this Disagreement
that skeleton caps are made to press the
baby's ears close to the head. A silk
handkerchief, however, drawn over the
top Of the head, down over the ears and
tied securely under the chin answers the
same purpose Children with ears which
project should sleep with this arrange
ment over the ears.
Many children inherit bald" ewes
or eyes without lashes and only a
shadow where the brows should be.
This is especially the case where one or
both parents are blends.
Pure vaseline rubbed on the brows sew
eral times daily and put on the lashes
at night will promote immediate growth
Nor does this apply only to children, but
is equally efficient with adults
Nothing too strong can be said against
permitting children to suck their thumbs.
