We doubt whether, since the days
Of Noah, there has been u more pleas
~ure-Saeking age than this. Life is d
"mcrry-gu-rUund, if it is anything.
Eating and drinking and feaSting,
gaming and playing consumes every
leisure hour Of humanity in the main.
This uueeuIy woman and wUmanly
queen has had an influence upon the
world in WifchoOd and motherhood.
The mother of Napoleon, Marie BAN
OlinO, was not what is termed an edu
Gated woman. She married at the
age Of sweet sixteen, " yet developed
into Il very strong character. IL Is
claimed by his biographerS that Ma
pGleon inherited his firm will and
lofty ambition from his mother and
not from his easy going father. NapO-
leon said Of his mother. She has the
head Of a man on the shoulders of a
woman" and he always went to her
for council in the important affairs of
life, yet he did not always follows her
We shall not venture to speak
Of Mary Ball, the mother of Washing
ton, further than TO say she was a
woman CT high temper and indOmit-
able spirit. Her nephew, Lawrence
Washington, who occasionally visited
in the Washington home said, Il was
ten times more afraid of my aunt than
Of my parents; my aunt was the preSi-
ding genius of the home and she awed
me by her Kindness"
The name Of 4 mother is our child

guard in all mimic misery; tits the
first half-fOrmed word that falls from
a babbling tongue: the first idea that

and the most lasting tie in
affection can bind the heart to
man.
A m cannot infict greater pun
upon a daughter than to al
low her to enter wOmanhOOd without
a practical knowledge Of the require
of the household. Everything
may be provided for the young wife by
the fond husband and devoted par
entS, but unless she has an intelligent
conception of the home she is ]
seriously handicapped. With some
people a knowledge of homework is
ridiculed but a person who does not
give home keeping a place among the
fine arts shows an intellectual calibre
away down below the commonplace.
A husband with a good salary does not
lessen the necessity Of a knowledge of
housekeeping and housekeeping. The
house and home require a head the
as any other business. No study
is of greater Importance to a girl; af-
ter marriage she often wishes she

who is capable Of filling her home in
every sense Of the word is worthy

We are often very much impressed by
The wOma who is doing a great and
grand work for humanity, but the one
who retains our respect is the true
