social life she can say: "Well, when

Heaven and the kings and queens unto
God shall be my associates, it will not

reception were made out" All right
with God you are all right with every
thing
Advice the second: Make it a matter
OF religion to take care of your physical
health. do not wonder that the
Greeks deied health and hailed Hygeia
as goddess. Irejoice that there have
been so many modes of maintaining anc
restoring young womanly health in.

known long time back, but they have
been popularized in our day-lawn ten
mis-, croquet and golf, and the bicycle.
1t always seemed strange and inscruta,
BILE that our human race should be SC
slow of locomotion, when creatures OF
less Importance have powers of veloci-
ty, wing of bird, or foot of antelope,
leaving us far behind, and while it
seems so important that we be in many
places in short while, we were
weighed down with incapacities, and
most men if they run mile are ex-
hausted, or dead from the exhaustion
1t was left until the last decade of the
nineteenth century to give the spec
which we see whirling through all gu
cities and along the country roads, and
with that speed comes health. The wo-

SO often characterized womanhood vii

Young man, sit up straight when yol

For good womanhood, thank Go
that this mode of recreation has bee
invented. Use it wisely, modestll
Christianly. No good woman needs
be told what attire is proper and wha
behavior is right. If anything b
doubtful reject it. A hoydenish, bel
ferrous, masculine woman is the detes
tation of all, and every revolution
the wheel she rides is towards deprt
citation and downfall. Take care o
your health, o, woman; of your nerve
in not reading the trash which make
up ninety-nine out of one hundre
novels, or by eating too many cornu'
copias of confectionery. Take care o
your eyes by not reading at hour
when you ought to be sleeping.
Health! Only those know its value
vho have lost it. The earth is girdle
with pain, and vast proportion of it i.
the price paid for early recklessness.
close this thought with the salutatiol
in Macbeth:

And health on both.
Advice the third: Appreciate your
mother while you have her 1t is tn,
almost universal testimony OF young
women who have lost mother, that they
did not realize what she was to then
until after her exit from life. Indeed
mother is in the appreciation of man.
(, young lady hindrance. The ma
ternal inspection is often considered
an obstacle. Mother has so many no
tions about that which is proper ant
that which is improper. 1t is astound
ing how much more many girls kno
at eighteen than their mothers al
forty-fve. With what an elaborat,
perhaps spiced with some
temper, the youngling tries to re
verse the opinion of the oldling.
Young man, you will probably never
have more disinterested friend thar
your mother. When she says anything
is unsafe or imprudent you had better
believe it is unsafe or imprudent
When she declares it is something yol
ought to do, | think you had better d.
it. She has seen more of the worl'
than you have. DO you think she coul'
have any mercenary or contemplate
motive in what she advises you? She
would give her life for you If it were
called for. DO you know OF anyone
else who would do more thar
that for you? Do you know
anyone else who would do as
much? The world makes applauditorl
,do over the work of mothers who have
,aised boys to be great men and J
,ould turn to my book shelves and find
he names of fifty distinguished men
who had great mothers; Cuvier's
mother, Walter SCOTS mother, st. Ber-
lards mother, Benjamin Vests
mother. But who praises mothers for
What they do for daughters who make
he homes of America? | do not know
If an instance of such recognition.
