The Daughter.

A mother cannot inflict greater
punishment upon her daughter than
to allow her to enter Womanhood
without practical knowledge of the
requirements of the h 0 S e h 0 d.
Everything may be provided for the
young wife by the fond husband and
devoted parents but unless she has
an intelligent conception of the home
she is seriosly handicapped. With
some people knowledge of house
work is ridiculed. but person who
does not give housekeeping place
among the fine ARTS shows an intel
lectual calibre away down below the.
commonplace. A husband with a
good salary does not lessen the ne
cessity of knowledge of house,
lKeeping a n d homemaking. The
house and home reqire a head the
same as any other business. No
study is of greater Importance to
girl; after marriage she often wishes
she knew more of cooking and less
of Latin. Money and love combin-
ed does not form safeguard where
there is domestic incapacity A
woman who iss.capable of filling her
home in every sense of the word is
worthy of more true applause than
if she possessed many accomplish
ments. We are often very much
impressed by the woman who is
doing a great and grand work for
humanity, but the one who retains
our respect is the true wife and
mother, who pre- S j d e S over her
home and children with a heart and
head, demonstrating kindness and
ability, which puts the blush on
the public life. Let the parents, the
father as we'll as the mother, inn.
press upon their young daughters,
whether they are in the country
school house or college, that the
true woman's sphere is the home
and the great business and educat-
ional world that have thrown wide
open the doors for woman does not
detract one iota from the Importance
of her sphere.
Back to the home is the cry 60
ling up from thousands; let us educ
ate our daughters for true Womanly
women; give them the highest e.
ducation within our power but keep
them close to our hearts; teach
them the rudiments of housekeep-
| ling and graceful homemaking, keep
ling the one great truth before them
that a woman is more satisfactory
to herself and those dear to her
when she is a Womanly woman,
firm, capable, but kind and gentle,
keeping her pathway through life
bright and good.
Parents should always bear in
mind that the daughters health is
! far more important than anything
else, education without health
Iavails but little. The physical
training is far reaching in its in
fuence; everything depends upon it;
whatever else may be a girls de-
sire Of ambition let her health re-
ceive the first consideration.

Chicago, Feb 27.-Probably the mo

Many of these people were fright

numerous that Co ..2r finally made the
following statement for publication:
He said In every city visit these
