An Evening Thought,

Softly, as when a mothers hand
Tucks in her little ones at night,
The darkness folds the drowsy land,
And fades and fades the lingering light,
On velvet slope and glimmering fell
The tender shadows rest like love,
And wheresoe'er Gods children dwell
His peace is shed their lives above.
Gods children! Bird upon the bough,
And lambkin lying on the hill,
And wild goat on the mountains brow,
And eagle where the great winds thrill,
And all the hayward, wandering ones,
The tribes Of men, or near or far;
God keeps the whole, meath stars or suns

Comparatively few men are distin-
guished for habits Of neatness. yet none
can forgive lack OF II In their wives.
Yet neatness is one of the rarest Of
feminine qualities. Early and persist
ent must be the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump of ncatness" well developed.
Unless inherently fastidious. durinh
school days she is liable to q Mt into
careless habits which she n}per out
grows. One girl may have trick OF
leaving shoes about her room. As n
mere tot she was permitted to do this.
and as she grew older the untidy GUS
tom was never abandoned. for the y.
pie reason that she herself did notsho-
tice anything unusual about IL. and
probably nobody else took the trouble
TO correct her. Without thinking any
thing about It, some girls, otherwise
above reproach in their personal hab-
Its, leave lunches of combings on their
dressing tables, while the combs them
selves are permitted to retain for days
at time their harvest of dead hairs.
This Is one Of the habits which, when
carried into the matrimonial state,
send young husbands back to their
clubs.

Making her own hatpins Is the fad OF
the smart girl who likes variety in this
line of jewelry. This il simple and in
expensive, for ordinary black or white
hatpins can be bought for cent
apiece. The head is removed, and one,
two or three Venetian beads are placed
on the pin In It's place. To hold In posi-
ton gum arabic is poured In the cavity
OF each bead. II Is a pretty idea to use
a large turquoise bead with small one
at each side. One girl who possessed
several Chinese garments removed the
buttons, which were very artistic, had
a jeweier plate them and made hatplns
out OF them.
