IL \ - dow through which
" man sees life.
al Nothing could be
NJ truer. Ihave observed
that sons and hus-
bands regard the world very much as
their mothers and wives regard 1t. They
see first with the mothers eyes, after
ward with the wife's. / have known
hopeful, happy men to become despond-
ent )el simists after marriage, and vice
versa This is G fact which 1t would be
well for women to mediate upon. The
girl who is at all uncertain of her voca-
ton in life might use her time to excel
lent advantage by polishing up the win
dows of her mind and keeping them free
from dust and cobwebs and frost for the
Benefit OF a future husband and son who
will see life through them. If the hus-
band and son never appear, the labor Is
not lost. If they do appear, the benefit
which she is bestowing on the world
may roe far beyond her imaginings.
Women nowadays regard themselves

altogether the best of things. Well,
yes, men have the best Of things when
rhey have agreeable, faithful and sensi-

wealthy and popular as this husband is,

There is nothing else on earth 30 de-

God rest her sweet soul She lived 81
years to prove herself benediction Il

Even with poverty and sickness in he
