The skin of the ermine was once
used to line the robes Of judges and
magistrates as an emblem Of purity,

are told, that the little animal which
originally wears it will lie down and
allow itself to be captured before it

Of an ermine's fur is so precious to its
owner, surely our girls ought to take
an equal care to keep their hearts and
lives unspotted from the world. There
are companions and ways of amuse.
ment which, while not absolutely bad,
leave just a little stain on the snowy
whiteness Of a girls character. There
are small carelessnesses that take a
trife Of the freshness from her good
name. AS you love the priceless purity
Of your sweet young girlhood shun
these things. Resolutely refuse to pass
through them, no matter what path

EASIEST THING TO FIND.
You Can Even Find Il Whsre Il Doei
Not Exiot.

NoN ENtuNs
The only thing that can easily be
found where it does not exist is
fault-that is, you can easily find it
in others. But in yourself, though
you be blackened with it, you can't
see it so easily
If the other fellow has a fault,
and sometimes if he hasn't, you are
quick to perceive it.
You incessantly find fault with
the weather. 1t is either too warm
OF too cold, too wet or too dry, too
sunny or too cloudy, and you have
a good deal to say about it.
And the times never suit you.
It's either hard times or else some
other people are making too much
money by the methods you don't
know anything about and so don't
approve. Deep in your subconscious-
ness you are quite sure that money
making which you can't comprehend
and can't initiate can't be honest.
And the government is all wrong,
too, in your opinion. AS a matter
of fact, you may confess to yourself
that You are unable to vote with
real discrimination for county sher-
if, but you do think you knaw all
about running the national govern
ment and settling all international
differences.
You may be loudly preaching foI
worldwide peace when you can't gel
along amicably with your own wife
You may not be able successfully tC
run a little corner grocery, but yoI
think you know all about regulating
the big trusts. You don't know wha
are the elements of failure in you
own business affairs, but you thinl
you know just exactly what are tn
faults of the great railroads.
The trouble with you is easily di
! agnosed. 1t is one Of the most com
mon disorders under the sun. Yol

sion. You see only the things tina
are beyond the reach of your hand
and are blind to those that lie abou
you. You see the faults of the othe

THE CARE OF HER GOWNS.

This Woman's Method Il Worthy Of
Being widely Copied.
A time saver Is the plan which a wO-
man who has much Of her dressmaking
done in the house has evolved in the
care Of her gowns. She keeps all Of
her waists for each gown II not the
whole gown itself in boxes. With Il
she puts the little bunch of silk or
scraps OF lace and ribbon that were
left. She also puts In the particular
bunch Of ruching that she has selected
for wearing with it so that in case Of a
fresh piece being needed or any little
change being thought Of she has every
thing at hand ready when she takes
down the box.
AS may be imagined, she is one who
can add a touch here and make a
change there in her collar or belt ar
rangements. little improvements which
in true feminine fashion she often
makes a few minutes before she puts
the dress on. For this and for any ac-
cident which happens to the gown the
scraps already at hand are Invaluable.

THE FIRST STEPS.
when the Baby Begins to stand and
Attempts TO Walk.

When the Baby Begins to stand and
AttemPts TO Walk.
Children usually begin to stand on
their feet about the tenth month and
with assistance take a step or two. By
the twelfth month they learn to take a
few steps alone, and two months later
run about. This, however, depends a
great deal on the child's strength,
which in turn is gauged by the nutri.
ton. Children nourished by patent
foods are usually far behind the
healthy breast fed infant. 1t is the
muscular, not the fat, children, who are
the most forward in this respect. Do
not urge the child to stand on his feet
nor encourage walking too soon. Let
the child follow his own impulse. The
majority Of children are ambitious in
this respect, and just as soon as they
feel the muscles and bones strong
enough to bear their weight they will
surely make the effort. If urged while
the bones are soft, bow legs are the re-
suit.
Children who are slow to walk are
generally late in teething too. Ordina-
rily the healthy breast fed infant will
commence to cut his teeth at six
months and in some cases a trifle ear
lier. Children brought up on patent
foods are often as late as the twelfth
or fourteenth month. The reason for
this difference is that some of these
foods do not nourish the bone matter,
or, M other words, do not contain the
bone making elements to such a degree
as the mothers milk - Mariana
Wheeler in Harpers Bazar.

WASHING MADE EASY.

One Way to Get Your Clothes Clean
without Rubbing Them.
It is possible, it is claimed, to wash
clothes, and to wash them well at that,
without rubbing, no matter how soiled
the garments may be. This is the
method as described by one who has
tested It;
Take half a bottle OF household am
monia and put to it an equal part Of
spirits Of turpentine. To a medium
sized boiler of clothes you would want
two or three cook spoons of this.
My method of washing, with scarce
ly any labor, is as follows: Put tie
clothes to soak overnight or not, just
as you wish. 1 do not. On the wash
ing morning take the clothes Just as
they are If you have not soaked them
previously and lay them in your boiler.
Cover with cold water and add half a
bar Of soap shaved fine, three cook
spoons of the ammonia and turpentine
preparation, according to the size of
the boiler. Let them come to a boil
and boil for ten or possibly fifteen
minutes, then take up and rinse thor
oughly and blue as usual. You will
find that no rubbing is necessary.
Even a very dirty binding will need
scarcely a rub. 1 never use a wash
board now. A few rubs between the
hands viii settle any extra soiled

DRESS HINTS.

Don't wear big sleeves and big hats
If you are short.
Don't jump into your clothes and ex-
pect to look dressed.
Tight gloves will go on more easily
if warmed before putting on the hands
than If put on when cold.
In sewing on buttons have the knot
OF the thread on the right side directly
under the button and see If the button
does not stay on longer.
Whatever may be the shape OF her
foot a woman should be particularly
careful to be well shod, and the uglier
the foot the more careful she ought
to be.
Never have the top Of the boots tight,
as it interferes with the action Of the
calf muscles. makes one walk badly
and spoils the shape Of the ankle.
In making buttonholes in goods that
fray easily it is a great help to stitch
twice around on the sewing machine
before the hole is cut, as a flrmer foun-
dation is secured and no frayng re-
suits.

Among the crosses many housewives
have to annoy them is a bathtub Of IN
inviting appearance in a room that 9TH
erwise looks fresh and clean. The tar
nished surface may refuse to become
bright, no matter what cleaning mate
rials are employed.
BY being your own workman you
may at a tritiing expense make the tub
quite desirable. Procure a small can of
common paint of any light color de
sired, a can of enamel paint of the
same color and a good sized brush.
Cut eight or ten inch pieces OF yellow
soap into bits and put it over the fire
to dissolve in a couple OF quarts Of wa
ter. Fill the bathtub with hot water
and throw in a generous handful of
powdered borax and the dissolved
soap. When the water becomes cool
enough to put the hands in 1t scrub the
surface with a brush, letting the water
run of as the work is done. Again part
ly ill the tub with hot water and scrub
it with the brush and sand soap tC
make sure that all greasy particles
have been removed. Then rinse it IN
clear hot water and thoroughly dry.
Cover it with two coatings Of the
common paint, letting one thoroughly
dry before putting on the second coat
Then give it several coats Of the en-
amel paint This paint will dry more
quickly than the other, and the batl
will no longer be an unsightly object
