4 Wise Mother Discusses the Subject
in an Interesting Way.

In an Interesting Way.
A mother whose daughters are all
happily married, referring to the sub
ject of Opponents and marriage I'M
sanctioned by the bridis parents, re-
Gently said: '1 think the trouble in
such matter is largely owing to the
mistaken treatment which the daugh-
ters receive from the members of their
family circle. Their brothers, if broth
ers they possess, are not apt to make
much of them, and the father and
mother are SO taken up with the cares
of existence that they unwittingly fall
into the error of appearing Indifferent
to the budding beauty of their daugh-
ters. Every woman's heart longs for
love. Compliments and endearing
words are as sunshine to a growing
plant, and if there is a lack of these
at home is it any wonder that when
a young man comes along and tells
young girl that she is the sweetest
thing on earth, she feels she has been
unappreciated for years, and imagines
that to dwell forever with an individual
who adores her, who recognizes her
charm, will be the acme of human hap
piness?
II made up my mind when my girls
were Daoes that they should never have
to look for admiration away from home.
1t was the rule in our household to give
them every pleasure within our power,
to tell them when they looked well,
and to be as complimentary and gra-
cious as though they were the young
ladies of a neighbours household. And
so they were not upset by the first
chance words of admiration from a
stranger, and having been always given
to understand that what could be af-
forded was theirs, they were not
prompted to run off to better their
condition. Runaway matches are sell
dom made IN Heaven, but are brought
about, as 1 said in the beginning,
through natural longing for affection
that has been wanting in places where
1t should be expected to come from
first. Chicago Daily News.

4 Motor Cradle tor Baby.

A motor cradle is the latest domestic
invention. 1t is said to be a great adj
vance on the hand-rocked article, and
can be worked with either electricity
or petroleum. The motion can be &C.
CELEBRATED or slackened by simply turn
ing screw. and one great advantage is
that the berceau does not cease swing
ing though the baby may be left in the
room alone. There are, Of course, doc
tors who say that a baby should not be
rocked at all; but few mothers are of
the same opinion. and with the majority
the motor cradle win no doubt become
popular.

Fruit Fairs at Churches.

A fruit fair was the form of recent
church entertainment. Oranges, lines,
apples, bananas, grape fruit and hot
house peaches and pears were attract
lively arranged in various styles. There
was table of fancy work at which no
piece was offered which did not in some
way associate itself with fruit. Until
one attempts to make out the list it is
difficult to realize how long it can be
made. There are all sorts of menu
cards, prettily decorated with fruits,
and innumerable doilies and centers
whose limitations to fruit designs did
not prevent wide variety. There
were fruit plates and fruit baskets,
pin cushions in fruit shapes, and pretty
water coIors, with punches of fruit, al
together a considerable array. At the
table where refreshments were served
the ices were in fruit forms. The idea
was at least novel, which seems to be
the most desirable thing nowadays
