Truth. rold In - Few Words.

A child's respect for Its parent is not
sured by over-leniency any more than by
over-seycrity.
A daughter should never seek nor be al
lowed to .Outlress" her mother. In every
family the mother should he the best-dressed
member.
The discarded iinery Of n daughter should
never constitute n mothers wardrobe M
one feels especially dignitied In the presence
of one whose clothes she Is wearing, and
mother should ut all times preserve her
dignity before her children. The mother
who never loses her quccnlincss will never
lose her crown.
Preventable misfortunes consist. chiefly, OF
manifold things, little to do, but immense
things to have done.
The man who earns one dollar and spends
two, and the man who earns two and spends
one stand op either side OF the hair-lne
between heedlessness and discretion, be-
tween ruin and safety.
When mother allows her daughter to ap-
prupriate her wraps gloves, wells. or other
articles of personal attire, she begins pol
icy of familiarity which. sooner or later
breeds contempt respect for ones belong
ings engenders a respect for their possessor.
