SO called "sloyd" training into the Bos-

Agassiz's daughter extended the in
fnitely broad white wings of her char
ity over the mothers of the babes in the
nurseries as well. For the women she
started clubs in the houses where the
day nurseries are.
Another noble example of the rich
woman who gives her wealth and, what
is better still. her time and thought to
the helping of the children of poverty
is Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons, the daugh-
ter of Banker Henry CleWs.
Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons declares in
so many words that the economic de-
pendence of wife on her husband is
demoralizins to both husband and wife.
When a wife is obliged to ask her hus-
band even for car fare and tell him what
she is going to do with each dime he
gives her there are sown the poison
seeds of matrimonial unhappiness and
divorce.

Wealth. Women Who
Work For the Children

should be done Mrs. Shaw founded two
free kindergartens in Boston and her
self paid all the expense of them for
eleven years.
Nearly half a million dollars Mrs.
Shaw spent to show the American peo-
pie and the Boston school board in par
ticular the value of kindergartens
Meanwhile she worked constantly TO
have the system adopted as part of the
public school curriculum. In this, at
length in 1888 she was successful The
Shaw kindergartens We're turned over
to the public school authorities and
others like them We're established in
other parts of Boston.
Then Mrs. Shaw went a step back
of even kindergartens in her philan-
thrOpy.
In the poorest, most crowded parts
of Boston she founded day nurseries
where mothers obliged to go out to
work would leave their infants and
know the little ones were better cared
for than would have been possible in
the mothers own homes. No matter
how many children belong to the wO-
man who must earn money to feed and
cloth them. she has the consolation Of
knowing that in the day nursery they
win be kept Immediately clean and
comfortable, Will be we'll fed and shell
tered from all harm. What is Of i'm
mense Importance in the beginning of
life, the infants hear only speech in
quiet, gentle tones.
Clean and light. warm in winter and
cool in summer are the quarters where
the babes are cared for in the daylight
hours. Sometimes they are brought as
early as in the morning and left I'M
til as late at night. No discrimination

Who knows but this benevolent wo-

scheme, viii at length be a part of every
city's municipal economy The care OF
the day nursery of a family of three OF
four young children leaves a working
woman free to so out 10 day labor in
factory or private house and earn
enough to feed, clothe and house her
little ones. Women of the poorer
classes are thus encouraged to help
themselves, and there is a Tightening
of expense to the public charity fund.
But Mrs. Shaw's good work for the
babies does not end with the creches
she established for them. The plan of
child culture she has thought out is
first the day nursery. then the kinder
garten, then the public school educa-
ton, a necessary part Of which is man

does these things for the praise she
gets. She is wearing herself out work
ing for fairs, bazaars, church teas, re-
ceptions and such things because peo-
pie tell her how smart she is and how
cleverly she manages. She needs a rest
a lot more than she does praise. She
begins to look haggard and worn, but of
course one can't tell her that she is do
ing all this for the sake of other peo-
pies approval, so I suppose she will go
on until she drops"
Yet this is what is happening around
US every day. We ourselves can proba-
bly, plead guilty. We cannot be suffi-
eient unto ourselves. We are not salts
fed with the approval of our con-
science. We are not content to stay at
home and SO manage our financial af-
fairs that we can afford a generous con-
tribution of money. No, that does not
always attract attention enough. We
must have people tell US how clever and
how smart we are. Does this pay?-

has announced the results of new ex-

that perfume by itself offers little at

under glass shades. Brilliantly colored
flowers offer much greater attraction
when entire than when the petals or
other parts have been cut away Mile.

The Princess Gown.

The vogue of the princess gown is
very great, and the one piece effect is
introduced wherever possible Even
dresses that are in two pieces are sewed
together under the belt and made to

The white cloth evening coat is apt
to be chilly. especially if a fur coat
is worn during the day. A wise way
to offset this consists in buying a large
Japanese wadded jacket and fastening
it to the coat lining at the shoulder
seams. These wadded coats come
without sleeves and as they are made
of sheets of the finest wool they shut
out the cold very effectively.
Of course an ermine hat is quite the
SWEETEST thing in millinery, but it is
expensive and we cannot all of us afford
it. However, with the saucer-Iike

doubtedly she is disappointed in life,
and no wonder, for she gets back from
it exactly what she gives out Long
ago, when the shop was prosperous, she
began to snap at customers like a snap
ping turtle. If they asked for some
slight change in their goods or some
little favor in the way of packing or
delivering the wares, they only got a
refusal so sharp and bitter that it was
like an insult.
She apparently had a grudge at all
the race and took it out on the help

mean temper prevented her from ever
learning anything new, so she and her
shop fell away behind the times. Peo-
