Renting rooms is an open confession of
poverty which some do not mind. but
which is injurious to those who depend

Daughters and Home Duties.

Where there is more than one grown
up daughter at home certain duties
should he portioned out to each so that
they will know what they are expected
to do. To make the work pleasant and
varied do not always give them the
same tasks day after day as they will
naturally tire of them, and the work
will not be done SO well. Don't always
give them the most unpleasant work to
do, as this is often the cause of girls
taking such Il dislike To homework and
causes much grumbling and discomfort
in the home
For instance. one daughter might take
over all the cooking for one week and
the other the preparation of the table
for meals and the care of the bedrooms
and the next week they can change
over, and then the work will not become
SO monotonouS to them
This answers well in large families
too. and all who are capable should be
made responsible for some piece of work
If this is done the work of the servant
and housewife is made much lighter and
the home will always be we'll kept. as
the young people will vie with each
other in trying to perform their task the
best.
Although it is annoying when your
arrangements are all put ont through
some mistake that has been made by the
young people don't forget that they will
learn by experience. and give them
words of encouragement for vel per-
formed tasks

Learn to Listen, and Be Popular.

''She is charming" observed the man,
mentally, as he CLOSED the door Of her
home behind him.
Yes she's an unusually interesting
woman" he repeated, as he turned the
corner.
And why? Simply because she had
sat for two solid hours and listened.
| Because, by a tactful question or two,
| she had drawn him on to talk of what
| he liked. while she listened interestedly.
| Because when he told her of marvel
Gus achievements, she had seemed awed;
when he spoke of Il sorrow, her eyes
had been all sympathy; when he related
an amusing incident, she had laughed
nierrily Always, she had listened, in

Listening is not merely making use
