 VIII not hurt the feelings of others merely that she may appear smart or witty.
 She has not two sets, of manners, one for homo ard one for the public. There Is not eat thing about her and her girl friends love her and trust her.
 The nice" girls are the girls that men respect and marry; you see them all over the world. happy married women, holding the love of their hus- bands. splendid wives and mothers.
 To be wholesome means to be pure and healthy mentally and physically.
 There Is nothing in the world more attractive than wholesome. happy girl hood.
 And you need not scoff at the old fashioned term good naturel" Just so over your list of acquaintances and see which ones you like best. the cranky. morose people. or the good natured ones.
 The comfortable people. O live with are those who are good natured and obiiging.
 oh. deaTs. it's great thing to be known as mice" girl. also as wholesome one. and don't you for moment underestimate those qualities
 Its very fine to be pretty and styl- ish and to have the power of saying witty things. But the pretty girl sometimes thinks too much of her clothes anu the witty one frequently sacrifices her friends upon the altar of her wit.
 But the nice. girl may have all the above qualities and yet her nice ness" prevents her from being spoil- ed. foolish or thoushtless of the feel ing of others.
 Put all our energies into being a nice" girl that is the best thing any girl can be. @
 SYSTEMATIC HOUSEKEEPING.
 Housekeeping Is just as much of a business as Is keeping books: that Is, unless done systematically, for the housekeeper will be quite as much at sea as would the head of business enterprise who did not conduct his business by the same method each day. A housekeeper must have spec filed time for attending to the details of her home-making. and she must adhere to 1t. The fact that she has no one to say her nay. would she dart off to other affairs at the wrong time. will soon cease to influence her, for she will find that only by setting her home machinery running daily VIII hethefs hVFV eS shc WpeiN new them.
 To begin with. she must get up at a regular time. Until her servants are sufficiently acquainted with their rou- tine. and unless they are reliable. go- ing ahead without supervision. she must be on hand to start them It Is not that they require watching, but they do need to be set on their way quite as children going to school.
 visit to the Kitchen to decide upon the days menu must be almost, if not quite, the first act of the day. after breakfast, if the housekeeper must walt for her seyants to finish their breakfast there will be trifiing mat ters for her to see to; the linen closet. perhaps, or some of the details that for her differ every day. But she should not let these interfere with her visit to the kitchen at regular time.
 This done, the maid Is next to be in- terviewed, either in regard to her work, or to know what she may. need
 By that time the housekeeper has started both of her servants on their. daily work, and 1t is probable that there Is some inspection of the prem ises which she wishes to make. Each day will bring her different, little mat ters to attend to at this time. and she must not regard them as unimportant. Perhaps linen is to be strengthened out, or silver looked over. The home maker herself will have no doubt Of what her tasks are as they develop. and unless she cares for them con- stantly. she will have q higgled-de- piggiedly house. sdo matter how com. potent her servants may be. ss Not Duntii theseg are out of the way Is she free to begin the little person. al matters she wishes-to go out, to read. do fancy work or some special sewing. But when she can turn to her own diversions 1t will be with the consciousness that her domestic machinery Is running smoothly. DO TON KNOW WHAT
 SALT IS GOOD FORs
 A little salt thrown on the. flame will clear 1t for boiling meat. Marble washstands that have become discol- ored may be secured first with wet salt and if that does not remove stain, with salt and lemon mixed.
 Salt mixed with vineger is excellent for cleaning copper utensils.
 To remove iron rust, wet the spots with salt and lemon juice and hold the material over the steam of teakettle, then put out in the sun.
 Salt and lemon mixed will often re- move ink stains that are fresh.

 A pinch of salt added to cream will make 1t whip more quickly.
 Cake batters and candy are both improved by adding a pinch of salt.

 GETTING ALL THE
 SLEEP YOU NEED.
 a1a little n n fants life is nearly all sleep. Gradu- hours of sleep are shortened to half the day or about eight hours.
 Youth, until the age of 20 Is reched, requires fully ten hours sleep.
 Although nature demands less hours of sleep in summer than in winter, it has been proven that eight hours Of sleep is required for the average male adult in good health.
 By this is meant not simply eight hours in bed. but that amount of good. sound, restful sleep. night after night.
 Our power to work Is intimately re- lated to our ability to sleep, and there ia no more reliable Indication of sound health than the capacity to sleep na- turally, and the more active and ener- getic the waking life, the deeper the sleep. .lf
 It seems quite possible that the re- ception after q religious ceremony at one of the fashionable churches will in time cease to figure as social function in the East. It Is becoming increasingly the fashion for the brides mother to have an afternoon or even ing party on the day before the we'd ding, at which the presents are dis Dlavad fu all their glory, and then on
