One who can train her mind not to be
disturbed unduly by the small events of
life has achieved a great victory over
herself, for a day never passes which has
not it's stings and trials, trivial in them
selves, yet capable Of turning the sweet
ness Of 1fe to gall. Yet by refusing TO
allow the nnid to dwell upon the5e-that
is, by Occupying ones self immediately
with other matters-a woman gai4E force
of character that makes herself and
those about her much happier.
There never was a family living to-
gether that did not at some time have
friction. For instance. one sister thinks
another has more. either in freedom or
dresses. than she. which thought may be
true; but should it be, the one who is de-
prIved is far worse off If she allows ,u, 4
happiness to be added to her lot. To ig1
more the injustice, if it be such. Is not
easy-no person would state tlat-but
1t is only by ignoring and forgetting
that content and cheerfulness Of spirits
are gained.
Thus. as matter of keeping herself
happy, the girl so tried must forget her
troubles. To do this she may take hard,
brisk walk. if she lives in the country.
This may seem rather irrelevant by way
of making up for the lack of pretty
clothes. but it is not, for in such action

FOR A GIRLS PARTY.

A mother writing to me to ask about
giving birthday party for her eighteen
year-old daughter omts to mention
whether the festivity is to be in the after
noon or evening. For a girl of that age
I think the evening is better. She is
quite old enough for entertainments held
night. and such celebrations help to
initiate her into the usages Of good So
ciety and in the art of entertaining.
For such an affair the invitations should
be in the form of notes, written by the
mother. for the girl is not supposed to do
the inviting. her guests being hidden for
her. The mother writes directly TO the
girls and boys she wishes to come. and
may use her own discretion as to whether
not she mentions the fact of her
daughters birthday being the reason for
the party. Should she do so. il is taken
for granted that the guests will send some
sort of gift if only flowers. For this rea-
son some parents prefer not to have the
birthday known previously, not caring to
put their guests in the position of being
obliged to send presents.
For young folks cards a congenial
way of passing the evening. and there
may be tables for both hearts and auchre.
Tie tables should be arranged before the
guests arrive. Partners may be assigned
each guest is to sit. These little cards
may be bought inexpensively. They make
"A pretty souvenir of the evening.
There should be first and a conSola-
ton prize for both boys and girls and a
second prize. IL the guests are many in
number. Some hos;esses now prefer to
have one prize for the highest score at
each table. emitting the consolation Tai
lies and pencils must be provided for each
player. 1t is nice to have little dish Of
candy and another Of nuts on each table.

guest has been called upon once. a prize
may be awarded to the one considered to
have done best, the award being made by
vote.
play, informal dancing will afford amuse-
ment to the young folk.
Supper may consist Of salad, oysters, ice
cream and cakes, with candles. sand
wiches and nuts. These should all be
placed on the dining room table. which
must be decorated with ribbons and can
dies with colored shades. and flowers. as
the ingenuity of the hostess can devise.
The boys should serve the girls. 1t is
we'll to have a maid in the room to re-
move the soiled dishes.
The mother is in evidence throughout
the evening. She is with her daughter TO
receive the guests. after which duty she
spends the evening In an endeavor To have
each guest enjoy him or herself.

Tasty Breakfasts.

an inexperienced housekeeper who has
just worked out the following plan. She
had her husband live in the suburbs, and
the head Of the house must leave for
business at O'Clock in the morning. In

costumes outside of the bedroom, SO no
tinesaving in easy dressing can be in

Her way of doing is to put on a dressing
gown as soon as she gets up. then she
goes to the kitchen. puts the kettle on to
boil. and then returns to dress. When her
toilet Is almost finished she slips on

The latter part of the work takes not
more than six minutes.

 Shortly after my father came to me and said. Did you see me go across the garden?' l said, Yes We'll he said, T shan't be here long. Our fam lily see themselves before they die Although had seen this, l said, Non sense.' He shook his head and walked away. Shortly after he took to his bed and died July 5.
