THE TOO KIND MOTHER.
She Does an Injustice to Both Her
self and Her Daughters.


II is all very well for woman to
look after the interests OF her children,
and II is perfectly natural for her to
want to have the best OF everything for
them. But IL the accomplishing OF
these desires means the mothers giving
up everything that gives her any pleas

lily drudge for the honor and glory Of

more than they need and make the con-

mother and themselves all the more

more alike.
The daughters are relieved OF all
household duties that they may keep
their hands in good condition and have
time for learning TO appear accom-
plished Very few girls, If any, can be
brought up this way and still be true
women in the proper meaning OF the
word. The "too kind mother is not
nearly so common as she used to be.

she will have passed into utter oblivion

A story which Reveals the Key 90
Good Housekeeping.
The Germans have story which the
home loving people love to repeat A
father when his daughter became a
bride gave her n golden casket, with
the Injunction not TO pass II into other
hands, for Il held a charm which In her
keeping would be OF incstimable value
to her as the mistress OF a house.
Not only was she TO have the entire
care OF IT, but she was TO take It every
morning TO the cellar, the kitchen, the
dining room, the library, the bedroom,
and to remain with II In each place for
five minutes, looking carefully about.
After the lapse Of three years the Ia
Their was to send the key that the secret
talisman might be revealed.
The key was sent The casket was
opened. IL was found 20 contain an old
parchment on which were written these
words: THE eyes OF the mistress are

The wise father knew that practice
OF inspection followed faithfully for
three years would become n habit and
be self perpetuated; that the golden
casket and the hidden charm would
have accomplished their mission.--Phll-

The GentIc,Yoman.

A woman to be well dressed must,
FIRST Of all. be exqulsitely neat and
clean. Her clothing may not always
be OF the handsdmest, but there is
something IN the way in which she
puts on her clothes, I'm her careful at
tention TO detail. that marks her as the
well dressed woman. Even though
others outshine her in the costliness
OF their attire. there is something so
fresh and unsullied IN her appearance
that she has greater charm than her
more extensively dressed sisters. The
neat woman never neglects her daily
bath. she pays scrupulous attention
10 her hair and scalp. Her teeth are
well cared for. and her hands, clean
and white, with well kept nails, be-
speak the gentlewoman.

these tricks
First.--Have some one determine on

the result, If even or the larger half IL
odd Then triple this half. If, then,
the number OF times the result contains
nine Is stated aloud, the original figure
can be determined by you. II will be
found that the number originally
thought OF will be double the number
of mines, or one more If the number OF
mines be odd For instance, take 16.
IL we triple Il the result will be 49,.
Half OF this triple Is "a Triple this
result and we have -. Seventy-two
contains . eight times. The number
originally thought OF is double this, or
16
Second.-Determine upon some num-
Der in the mind. Multiply the number
by itself, then add unity TO the original
number and multiply the sum Itself.
The difference between the two prod
ucts Will surely be odd. The last half
will be the number required. Thus:
Suppose 10 TO be the number thought
OF. 10x10=100.
1041=11. 11xt1=12l. 121-100-2l.
