GIVE rHEM "A CHANCE.

Don't discourage the girls when they
are learning homework by combining
them too closely to the prescribed
methods, says a writer in the Phil
adelphia Times. Let them introduce
new systems in the kitchen 1t they
like. Let them do as they will, sc
long as they do it thoroughly.
Don't think that because you were
taught to iron pillow slips on the
wrong side they must necessarily do
SO, too.
Often the girls go out more than the
mothers do, and in visiting the var.
ious homes among their girl friends
they have a opportunity Of learning
how other people work. 3
Many Of u daughters leave home
and seek employment In mills and
stores-in fact, take any work that is
offered at small compensatlon-fathe1
than stay at home when they must 60
through the dull routine Of homework

II the home work were managed sc
as to give each member of the family
time for the development of dormant
taste and talents, fewer girls would
leave the comfortable homes and the
privileges which they might enjoy un.
der the parental roof; for the monoton
u life in store Or factory.
The girls should be taught very
early In their lives that housework is
not so unpleasant as 1t is often pic
tured, and Il they are allowed to ex-
pertinent and use their own judgment
to a certain extent, ever when they
are quite young, they will 500 learn
to take satisfaction in the results Of
their experiments that will make them
see the pleasant side of their work.
They will discover later that on.
happy home-makers are those who
know how a home must be run; and
even IL they need not do the actual
work they win know how It should be
done and how to superintend It.

initials O. they are cut in relief upon
delicately scented cover are kept the
various dainty bits of lingerie made by
the bride-to-be. With the revival Of
the wedding chest, first made popular
by her great-grandmother, is the fad
among young women to fashion their
own undergarments. The materials
Of linens with hand embroideries
which she uses are more like the lin
ems woven by the industrious girl Of
a hundred years ago, who sat at her
own loom and spun the fabrics for her
wedding clothes. Into the chest must
go at least a dozen of each garment.
The favorite color Of the bride pre-
walls in the decoration Of her white
underwear. Pale blue is a popular
color, and this ribbon is used in the
greatest %profusion. Corset covers
made Of ribbon and insertion, with
ribbon shoulder straps are among the
revived favorites. When the bride is
the daughter of a wealthy house her
wedding chest is made Of most ex-
pensive and beautiful wood. Rose
wood is used for some, with gold looks
and keys. Rich mahogany, highly poll
ished, with brass trimming, made one
of great beauty. This one was lined
with padded white satin. Inlaid
woods make odd and attractive de-
signs. The richest chests are carved
in deep and bold relief designs, and
are made from old. well-seasoned wal
nut. oak, mahogany and cherry. Those
with the family coat-of-arms and the
girls name carved on the front are
the most beautiful and expensive, and
are highly priced family possessions.
