No mother has a right to interfere
between husband and wife when they
are satisfied with each other. No hus-
band is a good husband, no wife good
wife, who allows such interference.
The mother who really loves her son
does all in her power to make his wife
love her, and to act as conciliator, IL
any slight misunderstanding arise be-
tween the two.
But since the really good mother who
loves her children unselfishly and wise
ly IS as rare rs white blackbird, 1t Is
not to be wondered at that the good
mother-in-law Is not found every day,
says Woman's Life. A mother should
remember that when her daughter mar
ries she passes entirely from her juris-
diction, and should strongly discourage
any desire to interfere with the young
wife's daily life.

Care OF the finger nails always marks
the woman of refinement and for her
blackened or dirty nails is a physical
impossibility. At the same time the
care bestowed upon the nails should
be for the purpose of bringing out the
natural beauties of this part of the
epidermis. To leave the nails tinted
so that the artificial coloring is evident
or to polish them too highly is not a
mark Of refinement. After nail cos
metics are used the fingers should be
dipped in warm water to remove all ev-
idtnces of the treatment and the nails
should shine only with what approx
mates the natural polish.
