In Women's World.

The most pronounced type of the
modern American beauty is trained
from babyhod TO fulfil her destiny. She
IS born with gold spoon in her mouth
instead of the traditional silver one.
The father of one of these millionaire
princesses was asked. few days after
her advent how much he had estimated
it would cost him to bring her up.
About two hundred thousand" was
his answer until she is ready to come
out. and he added thoughtfully. that
is really a conservative estimate"
Two hundred thousand for an Amer
lean Beauty, When 1T is remembered
that to finish her at a select school
and then give her a year or so of travel
with tutor and chaperon costs some six
ty thousand this statement does not
seem exaggerated, says the May De
lineator. But two hundred thousand!
1t could endow a whole orphans home
or a juVenile-court school to make
good citizens out of material that might
else turn into criminals; and against
this in the scale is put one little rose
and-pearl baby girl. Two hundred
thousand! She ought to be the rose
of the world.
But even two hundred thousand dol
lars would not make an American
Beauty IL the spending of it We're not
scientifically planned. To this end, an
entire household Is retained. The baby
has a German nurse, not a French
woman because the French are eXcit-
able, and Their must be nothing TO hurt
Miss Beauty's nerves and destroy the
repose which is to be her distinguishing
Characteristic one of these days, The
German nurses accent is as good as
her temperament Is even. Later on,
there Is French governess. AN Eng
fish governess and an italian dancing
master. And always there is a trained
nurse to test the temperature of Miss
Beauty and OF her baths, to watch her
food and plan her exercise.
/ would not eXasgerate even so
great blessing as that of maternity,
says Julia Ward Howe in the May De-
lineator. Every woman cannot be n
mother; and many women in our days
have gifts and callings which detain
them far from the pains and pleasures
OF the nursery. Their lives may be re-
plete with good to themselves and their
community, nay, to the world at large.
Heaven knows that of all women ]
should be the last to undervalue their
labor and their reward.
But to young mothers not yet weaned
say; IF this great blessing Of mater
nifty shall visit you, do not undervalue
il, DO not whine at its fatigues and
troubles. Its reward Is worth waiting
and working for. A new life will come
10 you with that of which you are
yourself the glver. The minute study
of human progress which now becomes
nart Of the duty will make you wise
beyond your own anticipations. II In
giving life you have given death, re-
member. always, that in giving death
you have given the immortal hope
which lies beyond IT,"
Quite the most delicious way OF
cooking new potatoes Is to place them
!n boiling water with two or three
sprigs Of fresh mint, When the po-
tatoes have been cooked and drained.
% little melted butter should be poured
over them. The mint adds most
delicate but not at all an obtruslve
liayor, Instead of trying to peel new
potatoes, the English cook removes
the skins by rubbing them very hard
with an extremely stiff brush THIS
leaves them both while and smooth,
ana obviates the necessity OF peeling
them afer cooking.
