II is diificult 10 appreciate the exact
position or these Afghan women until
one sees the way in which mothers are
treated by their sons. They may nurse
them when they are sick. tend them
when they are young. but let the boys
grow to be eleven or twelve years oio
and you viii hear them tell their mother
to "ehup sho'' tshut up), send them to
fetch their caps and expect to be adj
dressed by the mothers as "agha Ill"
or "agha JON which means my pre-
cious MASTER master dear"
Cabul mothers seldom have much af-
lection for their children or their chill
dren for them; they do not nurse them
as babies, and their ~babyhood is a par
ticularly long one, for they are very
backward. They belong to their nurses
more than to their mothers till they are
| 2h years old, and after that il is their
| father who notices them and not their
mother.

| Divided Against Itself"
"Most family quarrels are FRACTIONAL dis
turbances that the oil of affection would

healed by time, if they would but give

would do any good. this vow of silence
about each others faults. The old for

in their hearts not to put up with worse.
''But we have to put up with something

question is, shall WI not do better to

a rule the most satisfactory eatables are
thin bread sandwiches. salad and olives
for the first course, with ices and cakes
for the second. If chocolate is served 1t

with whipped cream, but If coffee is pre-

prevented from offering any of their
friends any kind of hospitality because of
their limited means. A COLLATION. where
the guests stand and even help themselves
must p~erforce be informal and jolly and
may be managed at small outlay by II
housewife who wishes to show hospitality
to her friends. Often a good occasion pre-
sents itself for this kind of a luncheon, as
when a theatre party has been planned
and a long meal with courses would be
undesirable.
The Ladies Home Journal gives this

Very highly favored this winter are the

of the very expensive collects are enriched
with points and applique bands of ele-
CANT p-assementerie, and medallions and
| cascades of costly lace. Pingat smodels
of seal or sable have large medallion APP
pliques of creamy grebe at the edge.
Other yokes are finished with a very
deep ruffle Of chinchilla or Lyons velvet.
And the new elegant Vandyke pelerines
! have deep points that reach nearly to the
waist front and back, and over the sleeve
puffs, and long tabs thai extend to the
skirt hem.
A clever invention, which may be made
at home, is a small roller for keeping
wells tidy and smooth when taken of.
Get a small wooden roller. 1 inch in diam
eter and about IS inches long, cover with
a piece Of common flannel first, then cut
| a piece of velvet or satin 2 inches longer
than the rod. and wide enough to go
| round; line the two ends with a bit of
contrasting color in ribbon or silk just
| i inch down; cover the roll with the vel
vet. sewing it on very neatly. and then
tie up the two ends with a piece of mar
| row ribbon so that the piece lined with
| color stands out at each edge. If wells
| are rolled on this they will last longer,
