derness, severity and Justice to make him
love, respect and obey her. From her 1
learned the virtue OF obedience"
In the report Of one Of the inspectors of
p%arochial schools in England, published
some years ago, the significant observation
was made that the managers OF a certain
factory, when about to employ a boy, made
inquiry respecting the mothers character;
"if that was satisfactory, they were toler-
ably certain that her children would con-
duct themselves creditably; no attention
was paid to the character of the father"
An English writer, commenting upon this,
remarks that IL the mother is a woman Of
prudence, force and intelligence, the chill
dren will be successful:
Whereas, in cases Of the opposite sort,
where the mother turns out badly, no mat
ter how we'll conducted the father may be,
the instances of after success in life on the
part Of the children are comparatively
rare"
This is a rather startling observation, but
1t is probably justified by experience. The
influence OF the mother on the character of
her children during their formative period
is incomparably greater than that of the
father. The molding influence Of the mother
is apparent in the lives of such differing
personalities as Cromwell, Wellington and
Washington. 1t is traceable in the lives of
the majority Of the men Of action. The
biographies of great preachers, statesmen,
writer's. orators, famous merchants and men
of large affairs, and the forbidding story Of
crime establish, it is confidently believed,
the justice OF the Napoleonic maxim that
the future good or bad conduct of a child
depends chiefly on the mother.
Great mothers have not secured Justice
from the historian, but they are represented
in their illustrious progeny. With few ex-
ceptions our statesmen and leaders Of
thought and action attribute whatever
measure of e~minence. success or respect
they have reached in the world to the direc-
tion given to their intelligence and energies
by their mothers. It is said to be the right
of every child to be we'll born. Fortunate
is the child who has a good mother. The
loss Of such a mentor, sfriend and guide is
the most calamitous event that can happen
in any household.

Napoleon Bonaparte held that the future
good or bad conduct Of a child depended
entirely OF the mother. He was not, from
the viewpoint Of many persons. a creditable
representation Of gentle home influences.
He has been called the incarnation OF

Lenten Millinery.
In the matter Of millinery our Lenten
headgear need not necessarily conform to
the still wintry season. From the middle
Of February New York women begin to
wear the airier top-pieces of spring, even
though they are not supposed to appear
before Easter. So shapes Of straw. satin
and velvet braids combined are already
seen, some still showing the wide plumes
and laces OF winter and others boldly SPORT
Ing the blossoms of wood and garden.
Yellow seems to be a favorite shade for
these delicate flowers, among which appear
the crocus, the jonquil and the tulip. The
smaller blossoms, in the choicest instances,
are compactly massed and put on in large
rosette-like Sclumps.
One b~ewitching hat, licked with yellow
crocuses, was OF black and dark blue satin
braid. The scooping shape, which was
only moderately big, took an upward curve
at the sides. Filling these in underneath
were the flower rosettes, a BIT OF lace in
the same dense yellow mingling with other
short ends at the back. A shaped Chantilly
scarf In black supplied these. the wide
middle draping the front brim, with a veil
look.
Preferred face veilings are growing thin
ner in quality, some Of the maline nets
seeming mere cobwebs Those Of simple,
even mesh have very large openings. and
the white mesh overlaid with fragile
threads of black is still much admired.
Such wells continue to cover the entire
face. with the edge drawn tightly around
the throat and the short ends tied above
the hat brim. The dressier lace ones are
still worn in loose curtains, and a new
sort In such kinds scarcely reaches the
tip Of the nose.s MARY DEAN.
