The Salt Sea .leasud.

There is legend in the Morse scafds
which explains why the sea Is salt
The 'sbountfful Frodi.' = whose mythical
reign was golden age indeed, pos
sessed a Quern, or hand mill, which
ground out gold and peace, but which
would grind cut stores OF anything de-
sired by its owner. Two giant maid
ems, ruled over by Frodi. were the
grinders. In an evil day sea rover
came upon the scene. slew FroM and
carried OF the Quern and the two
giant maidens who worked 1t. When
the sea rover's vessel was right out at
sea he ordered the maidens to grind
salt. At midnight they asked II they
had not ground enough. The sea
rover, angry at being awakened from
his sleep, commanded them to grind
until morning. Now. the giant maid
ems naturally enough worked very
quickly, so as they went on grinding
the load Of salt grew SO heavy that It
sank the ship. and now the sea will
continue salt forever.

Mothers themselves are not perfect.
How. then, can you expect perfect

Poor woman!
Often she undertakes duties little
understood when she assumes them,
Only a SURPRISING love will supply
wisdom and patience and strength for
the successful issue OF her labors.
When she assumes direction Of chill
iiren that are not her own she must
learn to know their instincts and emo

Moreover
The stepmother must be careful to
give her stepchildren all the rights
and privileges to which they are en-
titled and-know just where to draw
the line.
Besides. she must be strong enough

She must carefully preserve the IA

TIE IDEAL WOMAN.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

he IDEAL WOMAN.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor OF the Out |
look, outlines his conception OF the
ideal woman:
A woman who is not the slave OF
fashion nor the dressmaker.
Who is not afraid that work will
spoil her hands.
Who wears shoes In which she can
walk. thereby getting her color from
exercise instead OF the rouge box.
Who develops her love OF beauty In
her home.
Who is Industrious. sympathetic.
energetic, enthusiastic. motherly and q
true friend
Well, that Is considerable to demand
Of one woman. is It not:
And yet
There is nothing IN the requirements
that call for the super-wOmanly. The
qualities specified are the old homely.
practical qualities that are to be found
In the average woman.
OF course you will not ind these
qualities in the woman OF the -Four
Hundred-or seldom.
These society danes, tor the most
part, are the slaves Of fashion; coddfe
their hands by frequent recourse to
the manicure: cripple to and from their
carriages In high heeied shoes and get
their compilations from art.
.Paraphrasing Editor Abbott's emu
meration. we may say Of these women:
They are industrious-in their dissi-
patioas; OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sympathy
is not needed; energetic-in their at
tendance on functions: mOtherly-to
their lap dogs; true friends-while the
sun Of prosperity shines.
They concern themselves in nothing
more than the problem of how to dou-
BILE on bridge. the symphony OF table
decorations, the newest fad on rhyth-
mic emotions or the whyness Of arts
tic thusness.
But there are others. There are
hosts OF women who I'll to the full the
measure of ideal womanhOod-
Women who are not afraid Of soiltna
| their hands, who use sensible shoes
| who wear their native colors on Lip
| and cheek, who are industrious, sym
pathetic, energetic. enthusiastic, moth
erly and true friends"
More than that!
II you would picture many Of these
women you would need employ his
tory and rhetoric, because
Thousands OF our everyday womez
are Esthers In attracttveness. Miriams
! In courage, Sarahs in gracious dignity
1 Rachels in affection for their children
i Marthas IA devotion to their house
