Mother First Of All.

Many notable women who have in
terested themselves in the progress
of the world have still been the best
of mothers in the home. A recent
writer recalls certain women as ex-
amples OF this truth. Victoria was
not less mother because SHE was a
ruler. Marie Theresa YVES a great en-
press and great mother, too, Julia
Ward Howe has been a faultless
mother as well as woman of affairs:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton never failed
in her motherly duties while advocat-
ing suffrage for women, nor did Lucy
Stone. or Mary A. Livermore. Marga-
rec Sangster. the editor. public speak
er and poet, has been a mother first
and most of all. As a rule. those who
find themselves not equipped to play
the part at home and the part abroad
content themselves with the part for
which they are best fitted Genius.

Lace Scarfs in Style.

Now is the time to hunt up the lace
scarfs which have been tucked away.
They may be used on hats, as fichus
or as any kind of dress trimming.
Some depend from the backs of hats
to shoulders, waists, or even to the
knees, in either black or white, MAX
ing an effective addition to a gown
for some ceremonious afternoon occa-
sion, a marriage, say. Two long and
broad scarfs of black Spanish lace
have been used in this way on a gown
of white lace richly jetted, the scarfs
buckled together at the center of the
bodice in front, the buckle at the
same time fastening an empire belt
passing just under the arms. The
lace is drawn in high, fiat folds over
the shoulders, and crossing at the
back, is passed under the belt to de-
scend loosely to form the train.
The woman whose coat collar is fiat
instead of the storm" variety wears
her lace scarf in the form of veil,
around her hat first, and then forward
round her neck and tied in a full,
fluffy bow under her chin. A brooch
OF art nouveau Jewel work is used to
hold the bow in place.

remarks. But that of course is out
of the question. 1t was just his droll
way of putting things, as when he de
clared, with an effort to reach the ma
dir of shamelesseness and the women
who try to lead in social life are cap
able of baseness and trickniess,
falsehood, littleness to attain their
ends unknown to the most corrupt poll
tics in America There is kind OF
honor about even Croker and Quay
There are depths of cruelty, injustice,
falsehood to which men don't descend
1t takes a woman to reach the nadir
of shamelessness and heartlessness,
etc Now some women didn't quite
understand the point of these delicate
witticisms, and asked some questions
looking toward their own enlighten-
ment. when the reverend gentleman,
now quite out of humor at the failure
to comprehend him, is said to have
become excited and hurried away,
without passing the compliments of
the day" So delicately strung are
these wits,
And it's not only men who say abb
surd things sn the subject. Here was
Mrs Arthur Dodge of New York, who
at an antisHffrage meeting said that
"only middleclass women, and disso-
lutte women now vote" That salts
fies the mind with regard to Mrs.
Dodge on the important points. She
is neither middle class" land that's
weight off ones mindD nor "disso-
Lutte" for which one must be thankful
indeed. OF course if one thought that
Mrs. Dodge really believed what she
said, one might become very angry
at the deliberate insult offered by
woman to women, but looked upon as
joke it only appears as coarse and
in very bad taste. which seems a
great pity.

Coeducation in Germany.

In Germany educational boards are
waking up to the advantages of CO.
education, and at recent convention
of the public school teachers of West
phalia the following resolutions were
adopted
!. The aim of the public school is
the same for both sexes
z, Although the individual talents
OF the sexes are different and require
inherent treatment, one-sided cult
walton of them may easily create an
unnatural chasm between bows and
girls, SO it seems desirable to educate
them together.
3. Another reason for coeducation
In the public schools is that. although
the two sexes will hold different po-
sitions in after life, yet life brings
them face to face with the same prob
lens.
4. The different degrees of interest
taken in different branches bv bovs
ana girls may prove advantageous to
both.
B. The habit of daily association
with the opposite sex tends to dimin-
ism the moral dangers of growing boys
and girls.
o. Coeducation is the most natural
system, because it is most like educa-
ton in the family.
The public. school teachers of Wur-
temberg, at another meeting, declared
that for the sake of more adyanta-
geous organization of the schools.
small communities should not found
separate schools for boys and girls
Baden and Wurtemberg, from this
time, will admit girls to the boys pre-
paratory schools on passing the en-
trance examination.

Household Don'ts.

Don't buy food that has been in cold
storage If you can secure fresh food;
sometimes turkeys and fish are kept
frozen for years. All fresh meat that
has been frozen loses its firmness and
flavor when allowed to thaw, which is
necessary before cooking Firm fish
and fresh meats are essential to good
and wholesome living. You will see
offered for sale smelts and green
smelts, and many housekeepers do
not know the difference. which is just
this: Green smelts are freshly caught;
smelts not bearing this label are
frozen. The frozen ones become
tasteless and fiabby when cooked.
Don't buy foreign fresh fruits or vege-
tables when the native are plentiful.
Don't. put celery in the refrigerator
just as it comes from the market;
wrap it in a wet cloth, then in paper,
and lay 1t on the ice until needed.
Don't depend upon extra heat when
YOU want water to boil quickly, but
add a little salt to the water and
watch the gratifying results. Don't
throw anything away because it is too
salty: add brown sugar until it is JUS

Falling from enchanted skies.

Though as tender as the May,

When he says ''It's warm today"

But each time, just as of yore,
All his wits grow dark and dim.
William feels that he's a bore.
Mary quite agrees with him.
