As long as we could pony up the ducats

But fathers wad has shrunken some, I
tell you;
It can't be seen so well with naked

A microscope might find it, but I doubt
it:
The panic's in the fat now; that is

And mothers showed her toque meath

While sister Mary's' weeping in the

And sister Kate her ornaments has

Learn to Shake Hands.

One does not need to grasp the hand
in deathlike grip, but there is some
thing about good handshake which is
the silent Interpreter of a welcome A
person possessing a great deal of per-
sonal magnetism may just take your
hand in his, and the cordial welcome
is recognized without even so much as
the slightest pressure of the fingers.
Others may have a good grip, which is
more like a clutch There is no set
rule for handshaking unless a person
bears in mind that handshaking must
be feeling expressed with the hands
and not the eye or voice. If only done
through matter of form, there is no
earthly use of shaking hands at ali.
Strong intuition serves great many
persons, and to grasp a cold. clammy
hand which lies like a piece of marble
in ones hand is to make a big-hearted
person feel like he had come in contact
with the wrong party.

My Little Girl.

] love wood violets found in May;
/ love the roses which make June gay.
1 love the mating song of the thrush,
And the bunting's trill from the under
brush.
Yet fresh wild flowers are not so sweet
As my little girl to me;
Nor the songs of birds so sweet as the
words
OF my little girl TO me.
/ love the crisp wind across the fields
When summer time to the autumn
yields;
I love the quiet of coy rooms
And a CHEEKY hearth when the winter
comes:
Yet more than the fields and the bright
fireside
Is my little girl to me,
Yes. more than the whole bright world
beside
Is my little girl to me.

Some Mendina Hints.

Rents will look much better when
mended if they are attended to at
once, because the longer they are left
the more ragged the edge becomes
Lay the garment right side down and
put the edges of the rent as close to-
gether as possible Cut a piece of
mending tissue rather larger than the
space that is torn. and lay on top.
Take a piece of thin wooden mate
rial the same size as the tissue and
as near the color of the cloth as pos
sible, lay this on top of the tissue, and
when placed in exactly the right posi-
ton iron with a hot iron until the
patch adheres to the garment.
The heat viii cause the tissue to dis
solve, forming a sort of glue.
If the material is Of lightweight goods
it viii be best~to use a patch of exact
ly the same sort of goods, but if the
material is heavy, such as is used in
mems suits or coats, a lighter patch
will be very much better.
A clean cut in heavy materials may
be mended by putting the two edges
firmly together and basting them to a
piece of paper on the right side.
Take a thread and insert the needle
about three-eighths of an inch from
the edge and carry it between the cloth
TO about half an inch the other side of
the cut and draw the threads through;
put the needle in where it came out
and carry it to the other side about
half an inch beyond the edge in a
slightly slanting position.
Continue TO do this until the whole
cut is darned. Be careful not to pull
too tight. Darn in the same way in the
direction.
It is difficult to use this method of
il the edges are the least bit
frayed, and on thin materials it must
be done with the greatest of care. using
the finest thread and needle possible.
All darns must be pressed when fin
shed. To do this, lay the right side
down on the ironing board and on the
wrong side lay a damp cloth and iron
until perfectly dry.

The Home Girl.

This is a day of fads and fancies,
when every girl must have some pro-
fession or special occupation, often
forgetting that her first and highest
work lies in the home.
All honor to the army of working
women whom necessity forces to earn
livelihood for themselves and others.
There are many brave. noble souls
among them, and, as rule, they are
kind-hearted and unself1sh.
It is not of them that | speak, but of
the daughters in comfortable homes
who are disconnected and who wish to
go out in the world and join the ranks
of wage-earners.
1t is we'll for every woman TO have
some speciality by which she can SUD
port herself il necessary; but the girl
who can spend the years between grad
uation and marriage in her fathers
home is fortunate. and she should APP
preciate the privilege.
Then, too, she is often sorely needed;
the poor mother has borne the burden
so long and begins to fail under if, and
there are, perhaps. younger children.
The influence of an older sister is sec
ond only to that of a mother.

For Whom7

For whom those color-beams we can
not see
The under-red--the over-violet?
For whom the tones that none have
listened yet?
No player yet enthralled in melody?
Those unheard waves of sweetness

They rise round strings that muted
are, to them!
Those beams of color, mute in flow

They cross our path, on unseen erran-

A Search for Rest

| needed rest; l sauntered forth
To see a friend whose office
Was sometimes wont to stop in wher
| happened to be passing by
Alach, my hope was soon dispelled.
For, from the wall a motto yelled:
This is my busy day"
Distressed, 1 went another way
a quiet sort of peace, / thought,
Where energy did not appear
To be so badly overwrought.
Yet when | sat me down inside,
a rude, insistent motto cried:
Play ball!'
Next day 1 made another call
Among my friends, where I could
stop
And into some secure retreat
Might. as a weary plodder, drop.
But here, as elsewhere, urgently
A motto shrilly shrieked' at me:
Get busy therer'
Once more I sought a little share
OF rest; and passing friends 1 knew.
/ went among the strangers where
There might be something less to do.
But on the wall a motto cleaned
In restless red, and at me screamed:
DO it nowi'
That's what 1 wished to do. But how?
A graveyard seemed to be the place
Best fitted for the WEAKNESS
OF this amending, hopeless race;
But there, above the gate that led
To consecrated ground, read:
No admission except on business."

A GREAT BEAuTIFIER.
Laugh and Give Your Nerves a
Holiday.

/
There is no doubt that laughter is a
! great beautifier, and SO. too, is relax
alton" says a New Zealand exchange.
Indeed it is marvellous how some
women manage TO perform their vari-
Gus duties at all without ever giving
their nerves a holiday by relaxing
| them. AS they go on day after day
the worried minds seem to twist the
nerves until they are tense and strain
ed, like the spring of a clock that is
kept tightly wound up. The tension
shows in the face, which grows sharp
and thin; in the voice, which becomes
querulous and bad tempered, and in
the manners. which become hurried
abrupt and disconceTting. Women who
have allowed themselves to sink into
such a condition usually complain that
they have no time to rest. As a matter
of fact, they have lost the power of
resting and simply must be doing
something. They seem to be afflicted
with the disease of perpetual motion,
and if they could only realize it are
rapidly wasting their nervous strength
and preparing for physical break
down. This is plain speaking. but only
plain speaking will make some women
stop their suicidal folly and take them
selves we'll in hand They may think
that they have no time to rest. but the
homework the cooking, washing,
cleaning, ironing, mending must be
done day by day or else their world
will come to an end. But there is no
housework under the sun that cannot
be rearranged in such way that a
weary and worn woman may lie down
twenty minutes and rest at some time
during the day. And if she cannot see
her way to rearranging her work then
she must let some of it go. There are
no two questions about it. We cannot
juggle with our health. we women.
Either the work must go or we must.
And there is no work of ours that an
other woman cannot step in and do
quite as well-perhaps better This
sounds hard, but it is true. So when
we find that our passion for doing
things is sapping strength of body |
and elasticity of mind, let us stop and |
whether it is, after all, worth |
sacrificing health, happiness and good
looks fora bed or padded cell in a |
hospital

"Now, o My Mother!"

BY WITTER BYNNER.
unheeding l had often heard
How. when you were but three,
You had a doll whose face was blurred
A broken doll was she:
And yet the seams and cracking glue
Meaning deeper need of you,
You took her to your mother breast
And held her close and loved her best
Now. o my mother, when I've come
From what l thought disgrace,
With all the slow unhappy sum
OF failure in my face,
When there was nothing left to do
But just to tell it all to you
o how I'll show the world of men,
You took me to your heart again!
