her apartments at the Hotel Astof,
dressing for dinner and preparatory to
going to the Metropolitan opera house
to sing in aida" her lite dog, Too

what they were years ago., he said,
land from what they are in the coun
try at the present day. Then there
were the chores to do. The mother
had her children always about her.
After the chores were done then the
boys, if time remained, might spend a
few minutes playing ball. Now base
ball and football come first and If
there is time afterWard the boy may
be induced to NOW the lawn or empty
the ashes. The young men and the
young women of the present day are
