Her Eirstlpronnsnl.

When a young girl receives her first
offer she is really on the brink Of two
pitfalls She either imagincs herself
in love when She is not or she is pos
sessed of coquettish pride which Is
apt to lead her to reject a most worthy
suitor, says Grace Wilson in American
Queen. \ girl should feel compliment
ed when good man offers her his
hand heart and fortune, whether the
latter be large or small. She is indeed
honorcd even if the suitOr be beneath
her station and she should at least
show some appreciation of the com
plment Coquetry has 50 often de-
stroyed the hopes and blighted the
whole life of q woman. She thinks
that because she is equal to conquests
she should not be conquered until she
has sacrificed Il certain number of vic
tins. OFTEN before she realizes 1t the
offers have begun TO fall Off and she is
uncomfortably conscious of the fact
that she is older and has lost much Of
her freshness and the question. "Nho

The Baby's Elnusi.

There are several wrong ways Of
putting on Il halAY's band 1t may be
fastened toe tight IF il is a hemmed
or bound band it is a very easy thing
to make him uncomfortable With it, no
matter how loosely you pin it on. The
band, when it is of flannel. should be
an unhemmed strip torn from tie
piece. skilled nurses sew thiS hama IN
the Child every marumg with n few
quick stitches. The nervous mother
shrinEs from attempting tlis ana
sticks to safety pins But there is a
wrong way as Well as Il right way Of
putting these in The wrong way is
to use large pins and then put them III
up and down, So that when the poor
little thing bends over, as Il weak
backed youngster is prone to do, the
ends OF the pins punch his tender anat-
omy. The right way is to use small
pins and put them in horizontally.
Then, when the baby leans over, no
harm is done When the child is older
and wears knit band with or with
out shoulder straps, there is no more
trouble about pinning or sewing. but
at first the strip of flannel is almost
universally worn by babies.

MISS UlNNlE HAGUEWOOD.
Remarkable Development Of the
Helen Keller of the West

In little town of the DakOtaS is n
young woman who can truly be called
the Helen Keller of the west. for
though her life story is known to only

ing as that of the daughter of the
south who has had such wonderful
success in developing her mental fac
ulties in spite Of the obstacles in her
pathway.
Like Helen Keller, Lnnic 1Iagu"
wood came into the world possessed Of
sight and hearing, but was deprived Of
them by disease at about the same age
rs the former. From the time she was
q child in arms until her sixteenth year
she lived in that world of darkness
and isolation which Is known only to
the deaf and blind. Her parents, pcO
pie in the humber walks of life, re-
garded her condition as practically be
yond hope, and until she was almost
on the verge of wOmanhood her only
communication with the outside world
was by the sense of touch.
At this point fortunately some one
suggested to the parents the idea Of
placing the unhappy girl in the Col

for the four days exercises, it con-
tains the roster of the grand parade.
l have often had occasion to speak of
the value of these railway folders, both
of the G. A. r. and the U. c. ", and
the Importance of preserving them for
future reference. Years hence they
will prove valuable souvenirs of depart

tains a valuable historical article on

The declination of a position in

The meeting has been called by
Capt. M. ]. Doyle and Mr.. d. J.

the purpose of organizing a reception

The present outlook is that Mr.. Dew

large membership even from the be-
ginning. EX-Mayor Fitzpatrick of

men for being deceitful! So if you are
inclined toward love, ideals and all
those nice little things don't let the
men suspect it. Talk golf nonsense,
verse or what you will, only avoid the
slightest approach to sentiment, and
you will soon find things coming your
own way"
"But the sentimental woman does
sometimes marry p
Alas! yes, but her husband does not
find out about her weakness till after
ward. Then we see a nice household,
with the mother of the family sprawl
ing on divan reading mushy novels
because real life isn't good enough for
her and the children and household
arrangements going to the dogs in con-
sequence. This. of course, is the eX-
aggerated type of sentimental woman,
but was personally acquainted with
one of her kind. She spent her time
reading love stories and whatever
spare money she had in going to see
romantic plays until she lost all her
ambition, her pride in her home and
everything else a woman is supposed
to have. In the end her husband di-
yorced her. and even then she didn't
seem to care much, but lounged in a
chair with box of candy at her elbow
reading her perpetual novel,"
H -nl. And | suppose she"-
ayes, exactly Sc. Well, in it's lesser
forms sentimentality leads to a wom-
ans thinking no one can understand
her, least Of all the unfortunate man
who is her husband. When she is clever
she writes her experiences, and then
we have things like THE Confessions
of a Wife that make you long to
shake the woman. But as a rule the
sentimental woman is not clever. She
contents herself with boring her hus-
band ninety times day with the trite
remark, Do you love me?' or else weep
ing and going around the house wear
ing an injured expression"
81 WISH" the older woman went on
hastily as if she feared an Interrupt
ton, "mothers would teach their
daughters that while love is a good
thing it isn't the whole thing; that am
bition, work and success are not mere
masculine attributes. Oh. yes. know
there are many women who have
found that out already, but there are a
lot more who ought to be helped to find
1t out. When we have more ambition
and less analyzfng among women then
we shall have fewer sentimental wom-
en- and as a result fewer heartbroken
ones. . MAUD ROBINSON.
