The Last Hour of Childhood.

February
Gradually the stitches grew slower
and still more slow, the dark head
! dropped until it rested on her bosom.
She shook herself impatiently and con-
tinued the uninteresting task, rising
| once TO replenish the fire as before.
The hours wore on. They were not
peaceful hours. Outside the rain had
ceased. and the moon was shining The
street was filed with discordant noises;
with cat-calls and the loud mouthing
of a harmOnica; the swift patter OF
feet; the seedlings of a wakeful wife
greeting her liege lord: the sound of
opening windows and many voices in
eXpostulation, as the liege lord object
ed strenuously TO his wife's welcome:
derisive words of advice. But even
these ceased at last, and silence reigned.
The sock fell from the little girls
hand hung on her knee a moment, fell
then to the floor. Only child in years,
she slept as healthy children do-heav-
lily, profoundly, without dreams or fore
bodings. The coal burned up red. eX-
hausted, its vitality died away to gray
ashes Mollie moved and muttered a
little as the room grew chilly.
And the moonlight, the tender moon

til it touched her hair, and then her
face, and her hands, and her whole
figure, enveloping her like benedic-
ton. Her breath was soft and regular
as the infants. The worried gravity
its habitual expression-had left her
face
Nothing disturbed her. She did not
hear heavy footsteps on the stairs out
side, nor the joyous scream with which
Mrs. McCabe welcomed back her lost
offspring; nor did the loud-voiced ex-
plantations of the finding of the little
one trolble, for an instant, the quiet of
her repose. But a pleasant dream
stopped down to her out of the Shad-
owland of slumbers. She thought she
was holding the little Monte in her
arms. The little hands were
about her neck. Tht little lips
were kissing her. #. She smiled
and the smile lighted up the dark face
to gentle peace that was almost beau
tiful.
And so the last hour of Mollie Far
rells childhood passed away.

COMPENSATION.

I sit alone with my heart tonight
Where the gloom is dark and deem.
Across the portals the shadows fall.
And here with my grief l weep;
But over my sad hearts darkness
Steals a radiance rich and rare.
For long ago, when a child at play.
hid a sunbeam there.
The harp is silent, the chords are dead
Whose music was all too fleet.
And ] listen in vain for the silver strain
That made my life complete;
But long ago, when care-free child
With no thought of sadder things.
! nestled song bird to my breast.
And there it sings and sings.
The garlands are faded and old and
scar,
And the laurels that came with the
years
Have gone with the dreams and the
persisted hopes
7 buried them all with tears:
But out in the garden of my soul
The roses bloom so fair.
For long ago, when little child,
] planted a rose tree there.

as she has she keeps hidden from the
world and from herself.

But the popular girl does not do any
CT these things. If naturally nervous
she has learned to control her nerves.
She has taken a course in nerve cu'-

One of her exercises is to place both
feet upon the floor and keep them
there. OF course, her shoes are COM
Portable, and her feet are in good con-

ounions, corns nor rheumatism. Too
often the twitching feet of a woman
mean twinges of pain, and the feet
must twitch because of their smart
ing.
But there is no excuse for aching
feet, and the girl who wants to be
pretty and popular will rid herself of
them. So also will the girl who wants
to he a society leader, for all the
popular qualities are embraced in
leadership. Unless a woman under

never be leader. And if she is ner-

HINTS FOR SHORT WOMEN.

me snort woman always eats too
niue, and she eats the wrong kind OF
lood. This is the declaration OF an
american institution called the Little
LADIES club. the object of which is to
increase the inches of it's members.
he method adopted is a combination
of gymnastic exercises, massage with
mutton tallow thinned with almond
on and a proper diet The little
woman who is trying TO increase her
height must eat mashed turnips she
must eat squash, she must take hashes
and all kinds of creamed vegetables.
squash is a little difficult to obtain in
This country, but vegetable marrows
may be taken as a substitute" The
following advice seems little dan
ccrous: The little woman must drink
with her meals, she must drink between
meals. she must take something when
ever she feels faint" At the table she
must try and eat as much as her stout
sister. More generally acceptable is
the following: Throw back your
shoulders. lift your chin, take the
stretching lessons, and you VIII in
crease your height.
Only wealthy ladies are eligible for
membership of the club. The apparatus

that to increase the height wee bit

THE GIRL WHO STOPS AT HOME

Often the fate of stopping at home

task, and though the domestic and
homely sometimes long for the glamour

she will be satisfied with the common
cood-the trivial task. But circuu-
stances sometimes force the most am

home. This is very hard lines, for she

out into the big world which looks so
much more attractive in the distance
than it proves in reality. They drew
lots for it-as girls often do-and she
drew the blank piece, and to her
strong Independent nature the stop-
ping at home means that she had
drawn the blank for life, and that her
future was spoiled. But these small
tragedies are the law of life. The cues
ton is--which has the best of it?-the
daughters who go forth and carve a
V ay for themselves. or those who stop
a home in a more natural and woman
II environment. The answer depends
50 much on tastes and temperament.
But there is one cruel side to the life
Of the girl who stops at home which
cannot be overlooked. She often finds
herself, at the death of her father
the breadwinner-almost pennfless and
without any sort of training to fit her
for a salary-earning life. At 50 per-
haps the loss of the father leaves his
widow and the daughter who stopped
at home with a small income. certainly
not enough for two. The elderly wo-
man with no special training for some
thing to do is helpless. and this is too
frequently the ultimate fate of the
girl who stopped at home. Perhaps
she was too unselfish. Maybe she was
what her sisters called too timid and
unenterprising for this life. But the
fact remains that she stopped at home
end devoted herself unselflshly to her
PARENTS. Towards middle age she finds
herself cut adrift. homeless, and with
a tiny income perhaps not enough to
really keep soul and body together.
How can such a girl of family with
out means guard against being left in
life's lurch when the inevitable event
Of the breadwinner's death comes?
Fathers and mothers should make it
dear that when the family property
is divided the daughter who stops at
home should receive a larger share in
of having sacrificed her
chances of a self-supporting career

COOKING OLD FOWLS.
Dishes For Which They Are Better
Adapted Than Young Birds.

Almost every housekeeper has been
mortified and annoyed by fine. plump
fowl turning out so tough that the car
yer has found it next to impossible to
serve it in the usual way, but not so
many of them have discovered that If
properly cooked an old bird is much
better in some dishes than young one.
For soup, croquettes, timbales rissoles,
fricassee. pie or pates an old fowl, hay-
ing more flavor and substance, is much
better than a chicken. For curried
fowl, too. the bird no longer in its
tender days is to be preferred, but the
meat should be very slowly stewed
until tender before using it in any of
these dishes. Occasionally one prefers
to serve the fowl whole. and even in
this way it is quite possible TO make
toothsome dish of it if it is cooked with
judgment. Have it trussed as for
roasting, put it into a saucepan and
cover with cold water. let it come slow
ly to the boiling point skim well and
let it cook very slowly for an hour and
II quarter or an hour and half. Take
i. out of the water and let it cool lit
tie, and then stuff it in the crop with
any preferred forement.-Boston Cook

Books are true friends. We can al

offense, they never betray our conf

no moods. A word from them often
falls into our minds like stone into a
clear pool. 1t makes ripples that re-

sun of heaven. No; we must not I'M
derrate the influence of books. And in
these days when it is truer than it was
in Solomon's time, that of the making
of books there is no end we must be
careful how we choose our books. Bad
