Making Children Happy.

Our quiet hours with our children
should first of all be cheerful hours.
Sydney Smith has said: IF you make
children happy now, you make them
happy twenty years hence by the men,
DRY of It." l believe this to be quite
true. We should make the hours with
our children full of joy, then twenty
years from now we, too, can recall how
happy they were, how we heard their
merry voices and watched them play,
and we can look with pride on our chill
dren whom we loved and who went to
rGrown-up land" Then, too, the quiet
hours with our children should be low
ing hours. How much the small touch
es of mothers love means to the
child! Even If it is only to whisper to
your son as he starts to school, Re-
member, mother is thinking about you
all day and expecting you to be good
boy" how much better the effect of
such farewell than to hurry him
away with some sharp and nervous re-

This Is an age Of stupendous engi

:. 10 BE A PupuLAR HOSTESS.

CO HE lot OF would-be universally
popular hostess Is by no means
happy one In society, for the
snare of the pitfalls spread OH every
side for the unwary entertainer Is le-
gion. In trying to avoid Scylla she
straightway encounters Charybdis, and
unless she has the tact of diplomat,
the patience of u saint and the energy
of general, she will never win her way
to the desired goal of her ambition. II
she tries to satisfy the select few, she
offends the many-while to recognize
the many is hopelessly to ALLEVIATE the
few, who refuse to attend her functions
on the ground that they are too mixed.
On the other hand, those very people
for whom she has sacrificed her smart
friends ungratefully criticise her efforts
for the reason that the select few are
not present.
Mr.. Nobody, for instance. who re-
ceives an invitation to dine with the
Tiptops feels hattered ut first, but
when he gets to the dinner and finds
that the smart ones are conspicuous by
their absence he feels anything but
grateful to the Tiptops. who would
have done much better not to have
asked him at all. "Who was there"
he eXclaims wrathfully. why, just

to be kind to- 1t was a most obvious

consider such invitations an INSULT"
The dinner dance, which has become
such an institution of late years, where
by society leaders have succeeded
somewhat in curtailing the number of
their guests, should be most tactfuily
managed. Many hostesses seem to go
on the principle that half loaf Is bet
ter than none, and invite in afterward
those whom they do not wish to ask
to the preliminary dinner. This Is a
fatal mistake, which no woman who
wishes to be considered popular should
ever Commit. She should make the din
ner large enough to have enough
dancers, and If she wishes to include
every one she should give a second or
third dinner dance. If not, she should
never try to patch up wounded feelings
by an invitation which is obviously not
complimentary one. There is n very
plain rule to observe In such cases.
