far as possible. Mrs. w. H. Elliott will

The purposes and objects of the meet

an excellent musical programme has
been arranged for the occasion. At
the meeting definite steps will be taken
toward establishing the work here and
those present will be asked to vote for

so satisfactorily since Miss Stafford

Leisure for Children.

DO not try to keep children contin,
'ually occupied. Occasionally the little
ones will come to you for ideas, but
as rule they will make their own
amusements. Children require plenty
of change and rest and II left alone
when tired of one thing they will eth.
er drop to sleep or find some new oc.
cupation. Parents often make the
mistake of occupying all the child's
time. but this is not only wearying
for the little one, but it is distinctly
unfair: child cannot be expected to
fill up every moment as a grown per-
son would do. Let the children romp
and play as long as possible and when
1t is necessary for them to begin study
or even to take up certain duties, still
recognize the playtime. and see that
the boy or girl has as much recrea-
ton as possible. They will work ever
so much better il the work time be
interspersed with play.-Exchange.

USE OF ODD MOMENTS.


PRACTICAL Woman Explains How She
Has Time for Everything.
Il don't know how you manage It,"
said one woman to another. you al
ways seem to know what is going on
the newest books, and to keep up
your music. while I never have time
for anything but my children and my
housekeeping"
The other woman smiled. II can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied. your family is smaller than
mine and we both have a housemaid
and a cook. SUPPOSE we talk 1t over"
1t turned out in the discussion that
ensued that one woman got her fam
lily OF young people UP bright and
early, 80 that at breakfast time the
conversation could be about topics OF
worldwide interest. and then after
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch. and the mornings work
was done. she could take quiet hour
and read or practice. In fact. as re-
CARDS her reading, she was never
without book or magazine at hand
ready to be picked up II even for
moment. during the day.
In the evening. after the last meal
OF the day she gathered together her
young people and read the most i'm
portant news and this was followed
by an informal discussion: This took
but short time and the. family thus
kept in touch with the doings of the
great world. This woman realized
a truth that does not come to every
one, namely. that a good newspaper
is the connecting-rod between provin-
cialism and cosmopolitanism. and
that. even II one live in a small place.
one need not be ignorant of the game
of the nations.
Another line of conduct of this
wise woman was to have lying around
books Of vital importance. new books
of note.
But books cost so much" cried the
other. I'VE never can AFFORD them. We
depend upon the lending libraries"
But dozen books from a library
never take the place OF one standard
work. always at hand when some
thing is needed. always there when
one Is inclined to browse.
When the wise woman heard that
remark she smiled What did you
pay for that Doulton vase you showed
me last week? The price of that
would cover the books l buy for six
months. OF course we cannot afford
all the new and expensive books. but
there are an extraordinary number
of books everyone should know. pub
lished at a price within the reach OF
all OF us. We do enjoy so much set
thing what We shall have and all the
children have their own ideas on the

sued the other. II do not see how
you can know about such diverse sub
jects as radinm and Botticellis paint
