Their was not inclined toward being a
central figure in public life, though
do not mean to say he was in any way
void of ambition. 1t seems to me that
his life best tells the story of how he
felt in this regard.
The more I recall the days when 1
was with my father the more it seems
to me that people only caught glimpse
of the real man. To others than his in
innate friends he was genial and open
hearted, but to those who were close
ITO him there was apparent a strong
and steady current of genuine human
sympathy that the outside world never
knew of.
One of the real cares of my father
when president were the social duties
that devolved upon him. How they did
FRET him! He was man to whom the
necessary frivolities of society did not
appeal. He enjoyed observation far
more than the ordinary conversation
one takes part in in all social affairs
Some persons, 1 have fancied, or used
to fancy, wrongfully believed this to
he due to certain contempt of fash
ionable society. 1t is a mistake to think
this. My father, as I know, realized
that such matters were q necessity to
the world. They bored him, it is true,
but he never considered that a reason
why they should be discouraged.
think my father believed the great
est tribute a man could receive was the
thorough love and trust of his family.
All my memories of him are unclouded
with thoughts of neglect or lack Of
tenderness. In the days when his cares
seemed only to multiply he kept his
worries away from us.
First of all, however, he valued his
name and reputation-valued them
above all things in the world.
That is my father as he seems to me
when the memories of years come back.

For Women Who WORRY.

1t is trite advice to tell women to take
every day as it comes, to avoid remorse
over what is done, and forebodings over
what is to come, but it is no less val
nable advice. Nervous prostration is
seldom the result of present trouble OF
work, but of work and trouble antici-
pated. Mental exhaustion comes to
those who look ahead and climb noun
tains before they arrive at them. Reso-
putely build wall about to-day and live
within the inclosure; the past may have
been hard, sad, or wrong-it is over.
The future may be like the past, but
the woman who worries about it may
mot live to meet it-if she does she will
bear it. The only thing with which she
should concern herself is to-day, its sun
shine, its air, it's friends, its frolics, its
wholesome work, and, perhaps, its nee
essary sorrow.-Chicago Tribune.

APPRECIATES HIS WIFE.
Why a Kentucky Editor Calls Her His
"Dettcr Seven-EiEhths,"

"Detter Seven-Eishths."
Many of my friends have asked me,
and few strangers had the curiosity
to write and inquire: "Why is it that
you always speak of your wife as your
better seven-eighths? In this brief ar
ticle l will endeavor to explain, and
use the personal pronoun, that the read
ers will the better understand me. In
Christian fortitude she is as fortress
capable of withstanding any fusillade;
l put a rifle pit with many unguarded
gaps in comparison. Her faith is that
of healthy tree in full foliage and
fruit; mine like tree blasted, with an
occasional sprout that lends hope of
fruition, but so fruil that the first cold
wave of dependency deadens and with
ers it. As neighbor she embodies those
qualities expressed in the words of the
Master: do unto others as you would
that they should do to you;" l am con-
tent to do by him as we'll as he had done

that standard. AS nurse she is sister

quently drone of disappointment. The
day is never so dark but the bright
light beyond beckons her on as bea-
con of hope; dependency darlens my
vision and obscures from view anything
favorable the future might show. Thus
in al the nobler attributes of life she
towers above me as the forest pine
about the stunted fig bush. During
continuous companionship of over 90
years | have been sensible to these SUI
perior qualities, and l have been al
ways honest enough to say so. She
combines characteristics quintuple in
quality, and in her affections assumes
the place of mother, wife, sister, friend.
Al in all, she is the apple of my eye, my
best beloved, in whom I am we'll pleased.
Such is my wife as see her, and have
known her in all these years. She con-
dones my faults, finds excuses for mp

teur construction. To such a puzzled
devotee of the work table, the veil case,
shown in the accompanying sketch, is
offered for consideration. There can
be no question about it's pretty APP
pearance, and any woman who has had
her good veilings spoiled with knocking
about in her drawers, to catch inevita-
bly, upon every glove, button or hook,
will decide that such separate recep-
tacle for them would be of the utmost
service.
Fer a present that is to be as hand
some as possible, the veil case should
be developed in white satin, with pow
behring's of blue forget-me-nots, lin
ing of pale blue silk, and a cord and
ribbons in a similar shade. To make
the shape, the ubiquitous mill-board
must be again called into requisition,
and two palette shapes cut from it;
the size may be decided at the work
er's pleasure, but generally useful meas
urements would be from TX to 8
inches in length, and about six inches
across. This gives the veil comforta-
BILE space, if it is folded carefully.
Cut two pieces of the white satin,
and two of the blue silk, the same shape
as the palette, only rather larger, to al
low for turnings. Then proceed to
stretch piece of satin and piece of
silk on either side of cardboard por-
ton, taking care that there are no
wrinkles; turn the edges of the ma
terials inward, and stitch firmly to-
gether round the edge of the palette
The remaining piece of satin must be
daintily embroidered with single flow
ers and the word wells" in forget
me-nots or other flowers, before it is
also stretched upon the remaining
shape.
Little now remains to be done save
to neatly sew round the blue-silk cord,
which will conceal the stitches, to make
two holes for the connecting ribbon
bows, and buttonhole them nicely;
while the single large bow which ties
the case when in use, must have been
sewn in under the cord. Countless pref
ty developments of this case suggest
themselves, besides the one mentioned;
for instance, pale green satin with pink
May blossoms; pure white satin, with
silver cord and embroidery of silver
myrtle flowers, for wedding gift; or,
for personal use, with trifling expense,
cream linen worked in fourishing
thread, and lined with blue satin.-N.

Nellie Grant SnrtOris' Memories OF
Her IIlustriOus Father.


My father was one of those men who
impress his children with thorough
appreciation of his sterling worth. 1t
Is this that makes me thoroughly ap-
preciate the tribute that was paid at
New York April 81. TO me my father
is not the soldier he seems to the minds
of so many, nor is it as the president of
the United States that l think of him.
lie is and ever will be in my memory
only my dear father.
Rarely demonstrative man, he
showed to us all in hundred indefina-
BILE ways a more than tender regard.
AT no time were his responsibilities so
great that the thoughts of his family
became a secondary matter. l remem-
Der as child how my smallest troubles
were always thought by him of enough
consequence for consideration.
1t was never my fathers custom dur
ing the years he was president to per-
init national affairs to interfere with
those of his home. That same steadi-
ness of thought and realization of what
seems to me the eternal fitness of things
caused him to keep the home outside
the circle of care. Although most per-
sons thought his face impressive, it al
ways indicated the moment he came to
us that he felt for a time the burden
had been removed and that he was free
to put aside the worries and annoy
ances that public life brought to him.
Never was there an instant that any
of us felt in awe of him. We all real
lied that his entire sympathy was ours,
and that, although he said little, he was
considering how best he could smooth
the path that seemed to be so trouble
some to us.
I believe he was really rejoiced to
leave public life, although it was mat
ter of which he said little. AS look
back to the time when I first said good
by to him and contrast it with the day
that I saw him next, 1 can say at the
latter time there was a distinct evil
dence to me of pleasure in life that
do not recall was apparent in the days
