+! primarily 10 give them lnlOfihation, put

it is to establish them in a group or a
social order where they may make and
keep friends of the best kind-friends
whose society will be B~levating, and whose
influence over them will be enduring.
Always choose for your son or daughter
a school in which he or she will come UNI
der the moulding hand of a strong and
noble teacher. The teachers personality
is of the greatest value in the daily inter-
course of the scheol-room. Not Ions ago,
in Virginia, a lovely gentle woman died,
For many years she had presided over a
very famous school-a school to which
people confidently sent their daughters,
knowing that there they would receive
impressions from a singularly conscien-
tious and noble woman, one VINO set her
stamp on every girl sent to her for care
and training. sAnd when. some years
since. in a railway accident. the newly
chosen president of Mount Holyoke Col
lege was killed, there was grief every
where: but also there was a universal
testimony, given by the women whom she
had taught during a long period in a fam

of her life workA Such women do not die
They live on in those they lave in
fluenced.
Going to college from a good preparar
tory school is a much better thing for a
boy than going to college from private
preparation at home, even granting that
the preparation itself has been equally
thorough. The young man who was pre-
pared at one of our excellent schools finds
his Freshman year a great many COM
rades, companions of the lower grades
of learning. who carry on into the higher
institution the traditions of the school
which had charge of them in the forma-
tive period. And it is worth much to us
in life to nave friends who have summer
ed and wintered with us-friends dear
and true, who knew as before the world
did. and who gave us, even as we give
them, something helpful or stimulating in
our work or our recreation.
1t is therefore a matter of concern to
parents to know that their children will
find in the school they attend associations
which will be elevating, and friendly COM
panionship on the same social plane to
which they are accustomed. One should
not require that the boys and girls
among whom he places his own shall be-
long to any exclusive or specially aristo-
cratic part of the community; but he has
a right to look for good manners gentle
speech, and home training of a high order
in the classmates of his children, unless
he is willing to see his own deals
rampIe underfoot. The parent seeking
a school cannot give too much of close
personal attention to the task, for the
whole life of the small being. whose feet
scarcely reach the floor, may be and often
is modified by what he receives in the pri-
mary school.
One of the old stories is the tale that
the fugal housewife tells about her
roubles with help. st is almost impos-
| sible to keep a girl" is the set phrase,
and it is heard often repeated in the
market place, and in the fashionable
store; in the cable car, on the elevated
road, and more frequently still in the in
telligence Office.
Girls won't go out to do general
homework nowadays" said the manager
of the employment bureau in a big Sixth
Avenue department store to an appli-
cant for help. 'syVe lave a roomful of
girls here, but each one is a specialist.
That is, each girl wants to hire out TO
do one particular line of work. We have
cooks, laundresses, ch~ambermaids, nur-
T sery maids, parlor maids and mattresses,
but no general homework girls. The
| old-fashioned domestic servant is almost
extinct. | imagine that the extrava-
gance of well-to-do families and the
rapid multiplication of big family hotels
in the city are. in the main, responsible
for her disappearance. The big hotels,
taken collectively, afford a broad field
for the specialist in domestic service
There cooks, chambermaids and laun-
dresses are separate and distinctive
classes, and when once a girl has be-
come accustomed to doing only one kind
of work she is loath to return to general
homework"
To the matron who can afford to keep
only one servant the outlook just now
is gloomy. She labors under manifold
disadvantages. In addition to the nat
uraI reluctance of the average domestic
to do general homework is the insist
ence of the aforesaid average domestic
to work only in small families, and to
be permitted to "go home nights Then
the amount of wages is an important
consideration. From SIS to S25 per month
is now demanded for the same quality
of labor that used to consider itself am
ply compensated at s4 and SIS per
month.
To one pint of thick cream add one
half cup of powdered sugar, one cup
of sherry wine, the grated rind and juice
of one lemon, the whites of two eggs
beaten light. Stir until the g is
| dissolved, whip with a whip churn, and
remove the froth to a chilled mould.
Pack in salt and ice for a few hours.
AS the heavy or thick cream is used,
a little milk, about one-half cup, must
be added to aid in whipping a froth-
Even then. if froth does not come
readily. a little more milk may be added.
The whip churn will not carry a heavy
cream: be sure to tip the churn a little
while using, and take short rapid
strokes. Stir down the first froth be-
cause it is too light, after that remove
the froth with a SKINNER to the mould.
Use powdered sugar for this and similar
creams Madeira may be used instead
/ Of sherry, but the latter is a little more
pungent, and is usually preferred. This
mixture, being icy cold, does not curdle,
but if the wine, cream. ETC.. were at a
