Truths Told inaFew words.

A ehild's respect for its parent Is not Sc
sured by oyer-leniency any more than by
oVer-severfty.
A daughter should never seek nor be al
lowed to "outdress" her mother. In every
family the mother should be the best-dressed
member.
The discarded nnery OF q laughter should
never constitute a mothers wardrobe. No
one feels especially dignifed In the presence
Of one whose clothes she Is wearing, and
mother should at all times preserve her
dignity before her children. The mother
who never loses her queenliness 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 Cd either side Of the hair-line
between heedlessness and discretion, be-
tween ruin and safety.
When a mother allows her daughter TO ap-
propriate her wraps, gloves, wells. or other
articles Of personal attire, she begins q pol.
icy Of familiarity which, sooner or later
breeds contempt. A respect for ones belong
ings engenders a respect for their possessor.
