accordance with the well known fact that
undivided attention to one object produces
somnolence.
Always pay your carfare when you
would like others to pay their under the
same circumstances.
If you are visiting city friends or
relatives, for more than a day, pay your
fare on all occasions. Your hostess will
regard it as a direct answer to prayer.
If you meet a social or business woman
friend as you are about to enter a car,
don't offer to pay her fare, or permit her
to pay yours, and don't argue about 1t.
A business woman never permits her
business men acquaintance to pay her
c~arfare.
The social man friend whom you have
| met by chance must be dealt with tactrul-
ly. By all means offer to pay your own
| way boldly and briskly; but If the man
! displays a tendency to argue the ques-
ton caplently for blocks, as a matter
of selfpreservation let him squander the
nickel.
When women go forth together for a
s.Dutch treat" pleasure-time, each n
should meet her own expenses to the last
cent, always including c~arfare.
Schoolgirls should be taught not to ac-
cept carfare courtesies from either school
boy or fri friends.
"What some New York girls won't try
to do to make a living isn't worth try

of the New York girls who is "tryin' to
make a livin','' says Harper's Bazaar"
She had told him she was going to paint
quills for summer hats. Painted quilts
are the very latest touch, and the girl IN
question is painting quilts for SO much a
dozen. For golf hats and ali. sorts OF
sporting hats for women, and even men,
she has brown, blue, black or white quills,
! and paints them in polka dots of the same
shade, in tennis-racquets or golf-sticks
| crossed. huntsmen's horns or foxes tails,
crieket-balls, etc.-any emblem which is
! ordered or which suggests itself to her as
appropriate.
Ideal motherhood is the work not OF
instinct, but of enlightened knowledge
conscientiously acquired and carefully d.
gested,'' writes Helen Watterson MOODY,
of 1.-The True Meaning of Motherhood,
in the May Ladies Home Journal. Ii
maternity is an instinct, motherhood IS a
professions; and yet many a girl under
takes if with less understanding OF It's
duties and less anxiety for their discharge
than she gives to the selection of the
/ tailor who is to make her new gowns, or
| the costumes of the bridesmaids in her
wedding procession. 1t is quite the fash
ion. nowadays, in well-to-do families, to
provide the daughters with some special
| training by means of which they could
earn their own bread and butter if the
family fortunes should suddenly fail. 1t
is held to be altogether wise and proper
to educate a daughter for a possible pro-
fession in a remote contingency, yet while
nineteen out of twenty of our girls marry
and become mothers. no training what
ever for the real profession of their lives
is thought to be necessary. Any prac-
ticing physician will tell you hat four
ifths of the illness among children could
be avoided by proper knowledge and care
on the part of the mothers, and yet our
girls feel that they must take up college
settlement work. and scientific whist and
the banjo to get a little excitement into
their lack-lustre lives until the great ex-
element of marriage comes"

It does make such a difference in your
enjoyment of even a short visit if the
guest room is inviting and hospitable.
You always take everything you need, or
mean to, but there are so many little
things to be forgotten, and it is an endless
comfort to have enough pins and hair
pins, a Shoe buttoner. and a pair of scis-
sors handy. And a little work-basket or
box, with shoe buttons, hooks and eyes,
is often a very present help in time of
need'-as the little Sunday school boy de-
fined a lie.
1t should be remembered that eggs
should be beaten in different ways for
different uses. For meringues, sponge
cake, angel-food or any use in which the
cells are to be coarse, a wire egg beaten
that beats the air in is the proper one
to use. For other cake and compounds
requiring a fine grain the wheel egg-beater
is better. Similarly, to whip cream for
charlotte russo or Syllabus, the former is
preferable, while that which is served
with chocolate or coffee or used as a
sauce for jellies may be more solid. and is
produced best by the wheel-beaters.

strings of Mechlin tuIe, tied in a big bow
under the chin, will be extremely fash

for the summer it is hardly safe to con-

the caprices of the ladies who lead the
mode in secondary questions of this sort.
