 TrHthfulness in Children
 Let me here for moment enter strong protest against the white lies, which So many parents tell their children without thought of the mischief which they do The practice springs entirely from eowardice and weakness oftener from than frol1 ig- norance of the consequences to the child. A parent wrongs the child by such miser- able deception as slipping off when it Is impossible to take the child with her, or by the still worse deception of telling posi- tive untruths when the child asks a ques- tion as difficult for the parent to answer as Tor him to understand. Every false state ment, every deception in word or act, and every broken promise dwarfs and distorts the moral nature of childhood. Many mother and the majority of nurses tear out of the child's heart that love of truth and justice which the Creator has implant- ed there. By our crude methods we erase Gods image from the seul of childhood. For such loss, eternity has no recompense. Nothing can restore the lost sweetness, peace, and innocence of which the child is thus deprived.
 co-Operation Between Mothers and Teachers
 Education has made gigantic strides in the past decade and a half; still, league upon iedSue lies between the point where we now stand and perfection.
 l know l am correct when I say that this progress has been largely confined to the teachers work I believe with all my heart that the educational reforms of the next century are going to be worked out in the home. Mothers are everywhere being aroused, clubs for child study are being formed in cities and villages and its mem- bers are pursuing the study in it's strongest and best phases.
 The next century will see cooperation of mothers and teachers growing, and in most cases we will see the relation of confidential friends established between them Nothing substantial can be accomplished until this harmonious relation is established, and you will join me in saying, "God speed the day."
 We look for a more conscious mother hood, for a universal mother-spirit among all women; for deeper and more loving in- sight into child nature, among both men and women.
 When the child enters school the parent only transfers a part of her responsibility for a few hours each day to the teacher The idea of shifting is absurd.
 This is a work in which home and school must join hand if it is to be a successful factor in the future of education.

THE FLOWER GIRLS
 OF GAY PARIS

Paris January 10-The roses of Paris are different from the roses of New York or Philadelphia, or even from the roses of soft New Orleans, for they live out in the cold est weather and do not seem to know what it is to get nipped by frost.
 The first thing that strikes a person on coming here is the number of flower women who stand upon the street corners and in front of the shops begging you always to buy a flower of them. They carry their wares in big straw baskets, which are strapped upon their backs like Indian pappooses. Not content with this heavy load, the Parisian flower woman carries an- other basket of flowers upon her arm, and in her hands there is the ever-present posy begging to be sold
 She dresses oddly, the Parisian flower woman, for she knows she must look pictur- esque or her occupation will be gone. That is lesson to the flower seller of the United States. If she would take off her shabby, though conventional gown, and put on a snort, bright one with wooden shoes clat- tering below, she could sell her flowers at sight to the passer-by who would be at- tracted to her out of curiosity.
 The Psrisian flower woman sells out many times a day, but this fact by no means throws her out of business. She goes around the corner to where some friendly mem- Der Of her family awaits her and comes back with fresh supply
 People who raise flowers In Paris for sale in the streets do Eot cultivate the hot-house flowers. They grow hardy violets, the kind that peep out of the snow in March, and they raise great big cabbage roses, such
