The best bred women do not fuss.
They take their gowns and their fur
niture, their Jewels and their children
as a matter Of course. They are un.
conscious OF their wells and their
gloves. and they expect every one else
to be equally 80. II they see an init,
mate wearing handsome gown, they
refer to It admiringly, but they also
preface their comment with an apollo
gy. Their differences with their hus-
bands are not aired; neither are the do
nestle upheavals caused by the deser-
ton of the cook on wash morning.
The repose Of the well bred woman
is not the quiet OF weakness; 1t is the
calm Of trained faculties balanced SO
nicely that an earthquake may cause o

forth loud cry.

From the ball of the foot and the toes
the impetus and elasticity Of the stride

Many persons in endeavoring to walk

is not as bad as putting too much

were not accomplishing as much as he
desired they should.
Mrs. Golf replied that she did not
think It possible for teachers to achieve
satisfactory results with the ordinary
textbooks; that the fault was not SO
much with the teachers; that historical
maps, in her opinion, were essential.
After further conversation along the
same line, to illustrate her thought she
went to trunk that contained the
manuscript and notes used by herwhile
teaching and produced therefrom the
manuscript of the series Of historical
maps that she had prepared for her
classroom training school work.
These were spread upon the tables.
and after several hours OF careful ex.
animation Mr.. Con said:
"These maps must be published.
They are Just what our schools and

The result was that not only we're
those maps revised and published but
