Grandmother,s Love.

GrandmOther's Love,
Uncles and aunts and cousins are
all very we'll, but grandmother is
worth them all. She might have
given her own children crook
necked squashes and cucumbers for
dolls, with old towels pinned on by
way of dresses, and trusted to their
lmaginations to supply all de-
ficiencies. But this grandchildren,
that's quite another affair! Is there
anything good enough or jolly
enough for the grandchild? What
il she smash her little china tea set
the minute she gets it? What if she
breaks her wax doll? What If she
MAIN and mutilate all the animals
in her Noah's ark? What If she
perforate her big India rubber ball
with the points of the scissors?
v They have made the little dear
happy five minutes at least, and
grandmother has lived long enough
to know that five minutes of genuine
happiness in this world is not to be
sneezed at. And that, after all, il
the secret of grandmother'S indul.
gence.
1t is not a weakness, as your puck.

mother has lived. She knows what
life amounts to. She knows it ii
nothing but broken toys from the
CRADLE to the grave. She knows
that happy, chirping, radiant little
creature before her has all this ex'
perience to go through, and so, ere
1t comes, she watches with jealous
care that nothing shall defraud hel
of one sunbeam of childhood
Childhood! Grandmother strain:
her gaze far beyond that, away into
misty womanhood. She would fair
live to stand between her and he,

From under her feet she would eX
tract every thOrne, remove every
pebble. The winds that SHOULD
blow upon her should be soft anC

woman takes in at one ear and lets

The truth is not always palatable,
but when it Is the truth about some

we ought surely to be willing to
mend our ways. A woman who is
conscious that she speaks in a high
pitched, unnatural key in common
conversation must also be conscious
that she could do otherwise IL she
chose. BY lowering the pitch tone

impulse to break bounds into a

Too Much NeCk-DI essing.


If the woman with a delicate
throat would eschew fur collars and
warm stocks, battle her neck and
chest in cold water every morning,
following this heroic measure by
friction with a crash towel, and in
dulge in honey at all meals except
dinner she would not need cough
mixtures and iodine, mustard leaves
and cold congresses, says an au-
thority. Muffling the throat In silk
handkerchiefs and heavy boas and
collars is an excellent way to make
1t sensitive. Breathing through the
mouth, sleeping in close room and
getting the feet wet, any woman
with tendency to throat trouble
should guard against. Excessive
fatigue often brings tonsilitis on
children, and in cases where colds
are apt to settle in the throat chill
dren should be encouraged to eat
honey on their bread instead of but
ter, and to use it in preference to
sweet meats, syrup, etc.

A Iscrap Barrel.

A practical woman suggests a
piece barrel in place of bag or
basket to hold the remnants that
may be called into future use.
This is a good idea, as the barrel
takes up less closet room than the
bullying bag, and will not upset as
easily as basket.
This barrel should be lined with
some glazed cambria to prevent the
pieces of material catching on the
rough wood. Three or four pockets
should be fitted about the rim to
hold special bits of braid and other
small trimmings. UrL5I...

In how many houses could the

kettle and find its interior smooth

of the place and find them above re-

mean much to the comfort and
