a wife and mother who has laid her life
down for her family. when slowly fading
out of sight receiving at last the tender
ness-the softened love tones of those
most dear to her. for which she has hun
gered for many a long year. Still. better
so late thar not at all. but do you not
think with me it is better to recognize
our angels now? Will o not act on
this suggestion?
I met a beautiful woman the other day
who reminded me of a time when at a
seaside resort 1 gave a ak to young
girls, says Margaret Battome. I talked
that day about our mothers, how much
they were to us, and how we should miss
them when they left us, for, of course,
they could not always be with us, and
how we SHOULD regret the little atten-
ton we had missed giving them. A
in: she said she could hardly wait for
me to get through. She left on the next
train fer her home. and startled her
ooh. mamma" she said. II have come
back to be attentive to o You, won't
die, will you. till ] am a perfect daugh-
ter?' Long after that I met that mother
on a train and she said to me: Il al,
as ASST She could be. but from the day she
returned from the sea that summer she
was absolutely perfect"
That mother has gon on and that

a little thin wire. First small holes
should be drilled into the walnut shells
near the edge at the round ends, and
a wire fastened in each hole, the three
wires should be given one turn so that
the shells will hold together, keeping
each other in the proper place. Five
glass beads are run ON each of the three
wires, care being taken to change off
with white and colored beads. The three
wires are then run through one bead,
another turn being given to the wires;
five beads are run on the longest wire,
which is drawn through the bead which
connected the wires before. and fastened
underneath; While three beads each are
run on the other two wires, which are
cut off and turned under as an ornament
The whole thing is then ready to be used
by the child, either as a salt mi pepper
dish at do1ly's table, or as decoration for
a Christmas tree.-Philadelphia Record.
Trilby Calendar.
A very pretty calendar has been de-
vised which will be appreciated by adj
mirers of Mr.. Du Maur,er's 'sTri,by.',. 1t
is called a Trilby calendar, and lays
claim to this title by reproducing twelve
of the authors original sketches, one for
each month. The artistic work of Mr..
Clarke is in his usual excellent taste,and
consists of a mixture of scrolls, flowers
and leaves, there being four designs in
all. Each design is printed in a different
color. The monthly almanac of dates is
arranged on a sort of shield, occupying a
diagonal position in the lower right-hand
corner. In the opposite corner there Is
a quotation In verse, appropriate to the
month. Below the border is the original
caption of Du Maurier's picture.
The calendar is printed on very heavy
glazed paper, and is tied at the top with
