out in the sun in her back yard and
there James had watched her aefuir-
ing that lovely brown complexion.
When it all came cut she Wantsd 10

Staatsburg, which property is still in
their family, and is now held by Mrs.
Ogden Mills, the twin sister of Mrs.
CaYendish Bentinck. Miss Bentinck
is very pretty girl, and is both clever
and well educated; her conversation is
neither vapid nor tedious, and she is,
perhaps, the best-dressed girl in Lon
don Her mother, who is very pretty
and has delightful little foreign
manner especially her own, is one Of
the best-known London hostesses, and,

Heartsease.-
If you take the time to comfort,
While you live the busy day,
You will find your own path brighter
AS you light another's way.
Maybe some ones life is weary,
And your touch, like healing balm,
Soothes at times the trouble spirit,
Bringing nedeed rest and calm.
If you plan for future pleasure
It may prove too late for some;
In the sunshine of the present
Store the joy for days to come.
Stop to speak the cheering message,
Doing all that you can do,
And the great God of all comfort"
Will His peace give unto you.

It was BalZac, says the London
Daily Graphic. who discovered that the
woman of 80 is more fascinating than
the girl of 20. Now the Lady's Pic
torial puts the zenith of feminine
charm decade later, declaring that
the apple of diseord is due to the wo-
man of 40. 1t is an interesting pro-
fession of faith, and one wonders
whether the general acceptance of it
by mankind has anything 10 do with
that increasing tendency to defer mar
riage till late in life which modern
philosophers have often noticed and
sometimes deplored. If the woman of
40 is really the most charming woman
it is only natural that bachelors should
wish to remain bachelors until they
are Mt helpmates for ner. There is.
however, one reflection that should
give them pause. However much more
charming than the girl oe 20 the wo-
man of 40 may be, there remains a
strong probability that she may not
keep her charms so long. That fact,
also, should cel tainly be borne in mind
by Coeleos III search of wife.
There is no lesson that mothers
should strive more earnestly to teach
their children, says the Philadelphia
Record, than that of self-restraint. 1t
iS from its antithesis, self-indulgence,
that all the troubles and sorrows of
life are sure to spring. 1t is also q. les
son tina fathers and mothers would do
well to practice at the same time they
are 1nStllnng II into the minds or their
little ones. 1t is what is seen and heard
in their home that takes root and bears
flowers or weeds, as the case may be.
rather than what you simply tell your
child he must or must not do. The first
lessons in self-restraint must be
taught very early in life; in fact, with
in a very few hours of the birth of
your child. If you indulge your child
in all his little whins and fancies you
are giving him his first lessons in self
Indulgence, and from these lessons will
spring all the faults and even crimes
of late years. If the boy or girl is not
INDUCED in every within he is learning
a lesson that will aid him to avoid in
