Love and MARRIAGE.

Love and marriage have naturally
deep and abiding influence over the
thoughts of woman. When the last
century was young early marriages
We're very common and young girl
was frequently a wife and mother
several years before reaching the age
OF 20. Now it is an unusual occur
rance for girl to assume such re-
sponsibilities until well on in her
twenties, or perhaps thirties, and a
wise change 1t is, for upon consider.
ing girls of 10 and 16 at the present
day it would be an open question as to
whether they would be willing to fore
go all the joy and happiness which
comes at no other period of life and
settle down into the house mother.
Let the girls play golf and tennis, let
them row and dance, let them read
and study and fit themselves for the
greater work which comes with later
years. Let their judgment mature and
there will be fewer mistakes made in
choosing life partner and less cause
for divorce.

ciently rare or conspicuous nov d
days to attract the attention they did
few years ago. when 1t first became
the fad for society girls to have real
men Wallets, live In Chambers" as
they say in England, and generally
to conduct themselves with a free
and easy independence that outmas-
culined masculinity.
Miss Munro, however, did tho
thing so much better so much more
lavishly than the other bachelor girls
did. For instance, the most expen-
sive mems tailor on Fifth avenue

1t was mans bootmaker, also,

About the Dish Cloth.

The dishcloth in many homes is q
breeding place for microbes and con-
tains more disease germs than almost
anything else of the same size. Cheese
cloth bags, in which salt and sugar
come. make good dishcloths. 1t is a
good plan to have two sets for con-
stant use. They should be thoroughly
waahed every morning in hot water,
to which has been added ammoL IA
soda or washing powder then rinsed
and hung in the air to dry. Use thNm
on alternate days. Besides it is well
to rinse them each time after using
and boil them once a week. If they
acquire an odor burn them.

Reading for Children.

Children should be first taught to
read, how to read, what to read and
to love reading as means of enrich
ing their minds. School work should
center in reading. 1t is the key of all
learning, since human thought is con-
centrated therein. A great variety of
reading should be provided, even for
the little children, since the day of
one reader in the lower grades 10
past. lnesmuch as the great majority
of pupils never reach the higher
grades it is necessary to inculcate tho
reading habit in the lower ones.

Buttons on Wronq Side.

Attention was drawn by DR.. James
Shaw at the AmbideXtral Culture So
ciety to the singular fact that the
buttons of feminine clothes are on
the wrong side-or, rather, since wo-
men may maintain that it is mems
buttons which are wrong, that mems
buttons ore on the right side of the
wearer and women's on the left This
popularity DR.. Shaw ascribed not to
feminine perversity but to the fact
that those who set womens fashions
were supposed to have maids to dress
them, for whom this position was
more convenient.
