Women who Like boarding.

There are many kinds of women to
be seen in a days sojourn at any one
of the principal hotels, but you can al

round, regular boarder.
She sails into the dining room with
an air of proprietorship easily recog-
nizable, mods Familiarity and p~atron1z-
ing1y to the head waiter, holds a light
badinage with the waiter who seats
her, and settles down at last with a
great deal of fuss and in
the chair, which she always keeps dec
GRATED with fresh ribbons.
It is her especial delight to hear the
transient guest at some other ada
+. cent able order fruit such as she is
feasting on, only to be informed by the
polite waiter that the fruit referred to
is for the private use of Mrs. So-and-So
only, and that the hotel furnishes only
apples or grapes that morning.
She finds immense satisfaction in
staring at newcomers through her lorS-
nette, and passing remarks concerning
them to those at her table.
She is usually plump from good
feeding" makes away with all the
dainties on the bill of fare, and sends
out her plate a second OK third time
for more of the Wand which suits her
taste.
Inc regular DOaIuST takes pCSS0SSIOA
of the parlor after dinner, and stares
daskance at the tirnid stranger who
comes in, thereby interrupting her in
teresting tete-a-tete with some friend,
as though the interloper were anything
but welcome.
And as for gossip, trust the woman
who boards at a fashionable hotel the
year round to take the cad She has
as little to do as the lilies Of the field,
and must employ her time and her
thoughts somehow, even if it is prying
into other folks affairs and airing

She is vain and %frivolus in nine cases
out of ten, fond of ponnp and show
with no love for home life and the ten,

Most of the regular boarders at no

neither time nor patience fer the rear

Parents Should spare the Rod.
BY Laura Jean Libbey.

The man who could or would treat
his offspring in q shocking manner Is
indeed q most inhurnan parent.
S~ternness in the rearing of ones chill
dren is highly commendabie, but bar
barrie cruelty never.
All such mode Of excruciating tor
ture as the thunb-screw, the pulling !
of the arms from their tender sockets,
the f1aying with ropes. etc, went out of
practice with the dark ages, thank
Cod!
Very often children who are cruelty |
treated are unabl as yet to care for
themselves, to SO out INTO the great
world beyond TO earn their daily bread.
Yet even were they forced to do so they
would find the hands of strangers a
thousand times kinder and more mer-
ciful than those Of the parent who
If indignant neighbors were to treat
h parent who is mean to his chill
.dren to a little Of his own medicine he
would learn past all doubling and
speedily the excruciating torture Of his
mode Of chastisenaent.
The children in the meantime should
do their utmost toward guarding care
fully against offending him, thus es-
Gaping the cruel torture which would
otherwise be meted out to them.
At One-and-tWenty a boy is legally
of g and q giTl at eighteen. After
that hour arrives no parent has a legal
right to lash them into submission to
his tyrannical will.
I believe that children should love,
honor and obey their parents, but a
point can be reached where endurance
is no longer a virtue.
My heart goes out in the deepest pity
to the lad or lassie whose mother lies
in her lowly grave and cannot wipe
their tears away when the loved ones
whom she would give her hearts
blood to shield are in sore distress and
need their love and sympathy.
If that mother could open her dea6
lips she would say to her darlings:
ooh, my little ones, my precious ten,
der ones, I beseech you, for your OWL
sakes, to do nothing to anger the maj
with whom I left Quay the father
whom 1 had believed loved you an
would be kind to you. Gain knowl
edge, study, fit yourself for futur,
emergencies, and if the time come
when you car support your sister a
well as yourself. my boy, take her gu
into the world with you and guard he1
and I will watch over your failures an
your triumphs as on1y a loving, anx
ious mother can, from on high.
1.-THE years cannot linger. The
must pass. Be patient, calm and ODE
adient."
Oh, cruel parent, let me take tn
sc%ourging you would deal out to the
motherless children for trifing offense
when a word Of firm. kind adrnonitio
would answer the purpose a thousan
times better in their case!

TITLE HINTS FOR

A point q mistress should know is
the difference between simmerlng and
boiling. This is readily teste1 with a
cooks thermometer, when boiling point
will be found at PIP degrees, simmer
ing only demanding 100 degrees.
Roughly speaking, it is easy to see the
difference between the two. When q
liquid boils at full pitch it's surface
will be closely covered with bubbles,
and the whole surface will be so to
speak, rock and swell with the heat, in
which condition it very quickly bo1ls
over. When it SINNERS, however, the
surface of the liquid will simply ripple
like a pond into which a stone has
been thrown the water keeping all the
time at a gentle shiver. This ripping
is called by French cooks the sourire
or smile of the water.

in Jelly.

This may be prepared in the same
general way as any other Jelly. Slice
the bananas with q silver knife, and
arrange the slices so that they may
overlap one another in the bottom Of
the mould. A pretty effect is obtained
by placing the banana so that it will
almost line the mould. The fruit may
be cut either in cross sections or the
length of the banana. If desired, the
Jelly may be favored with maraschino.
