the attention drawn to your every
religious obligation.
Woman's gentleness, delicacy
and modesty are living forces; and
the girl who dresses like a man,
who swaggers, Isl slang and
makes an exhibition of herself,
generally, is like asoldier who has
thrown away his weapons before
he goes into battle-she is defense
less against attack.
SO here hath been dawning another
blue day,
Think; wilt thou let it slip useless
away?
Out of eternity this new day is born,
Into eternity at night will return.
Behold it aforetime nc eye eve did,
So soon it forever from all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawning another blue
day,
Think; wilt thou let it slip useless
away?
-Thos. Carlyle.
Somebody asked recently how
to be beautiful of an old lady
whose face is still sweet and rosy
at so. Her advice was "sTry a
little spiritual exercise. Look at
yourselves in the mirror four or
five times a day. If the corners
of your mouth are down and you
are an unhappy looking creature,
elevate your expression. sThink
of the pleasantest thing hal ever
happened to you; the kindest
thing that was ever done for you;
send out the most generous,
sweetest, most helpful thoughts to
your friends, then you will be
beautiful"
If you want to be miserable,
think about yourself, about what
you want, what respect people
ought to pay you, and what peo-
pie think of you,-Charles Kings
ley.
And now look at the contrast.
Oh, what a glory doth this world put
on
For him who, with a fervent heart,
Under the bright and 81 ri BUS sky,
and looks
On duties well performed, and days
well spent.
-Longfellow.
The girl who takes as much
pride in learning to dust a room
properly as she does in learning to
draw, who broils a steak with the
same nicely she embroiders a
rosebud, who makes coffee as care
fully as she croehets, is the girl
who will make the economical,
CHEEKY wife, loving mother aud
delightful companion. 1t is not
a crime to know how to keep
house. Every girl expects to
have a home of her own some day,
yet the girl and her mother when
circumstances permit, too often
act as though there was NJ such
thing as a seryantless home and
food grew on the bushes ready for
picking.
