point in important law suits being decided
upon entries made in diaries Of this kind.
One we'll known litersteur has solved the
problem of keeping a dairy in a very simple
way. She always gets a good sized calandar
to begin the year with, and opposite each
date records briefly the leading events of the
day.
The present day interest in human docu-
ments'' of itself suggests another important
addition to family records. Every family
should have a substantial book, a quarto vol
ume of stout paper, solidiy bound, in which
should be mounted small photographs of the
different members OF the family. Under
each photograph should be a note giving the
age and the most important fact of the life
at the time the picture was taken. A
sufficient number could be mounted on a page
to reveal at one opening of the book from
ten to twenty years of a life's history.
The keeping Of a journal Of whatever kind
helps to cultivate order, regularity and Sc
lection. II is also a great aid TO the mem
Dry and observation, as one inevitably OBJ
serves more accurately and makes greater
demands upon the memory, when he expects
to commit what ho sees to paper, while the
writing still further fixes his experiences in
mind.
Considering all the advantages, it is not
to be wondered at that Charles James Mat
thews exclaimed. "Oh, that | had had time

Of trouble IL would have saved me, and what

what an inestimable value this family rec

In very interesting conversation some

Panama hats trimmed with morning glories,

Pale and golden-yellow ribbons in satin,

modistes as a garniture for cream-white

One novel idea this season is the use OF
striped silk for the lining Of plain white

In the summer time the slight, oent ngure'

that Mrs. Stoves %fondness for exercise and
outdoor life has done much 10 sustain he

comes of a sturdy stock. Mrs.
Stoves working days have been
long over. None of her conspicu-

her present residence, and her condition re-
quires that she be carefully guarded in every
way by her family from the intrusion of
strangers. Yet as she walks the street, al

that the Stowe family is devoted TO dogs,

for a sight OF the mistress are not infrequent,
while letters petitioning for autographs are,
of course, legion. Occasionally still the lat
ter favor is granted, or the authOress pens
a bit of a note in acknowledgements OF some
courtesy. . Her modest way OF living
implies the fact that the rewards Of distin-
gulshed success in literature are other than
momentary. Such success is not to be meas
