Moral Influence OF Woman.

Is 1t true, as the Rev. DR.. Butler
said to the graduating class OF Mil
waukeo Downer College that 1.-THE
American community today looks
more to its intelligent women than
to its men for its standard of morals
and of living?" The probability is
that it is not quite true-that DR..
Butler exaggerated for the sake OF
emphasis. 1t is well that the , nse
of moral responsibility should be de-
veloped in every individual to the
highest degree and kept alert against
the temptations that constantly be-
set.
The present age, it is safe to say,
looks to woman not less than to man
for its moral standards, and looks
with the confident expectation that
they will be high. Boys as we'll as
girls receive their first moral instruc-
tions at their mothers knee. A wife
often influences a husband in the
moral crisis of his life. But men also
possess great influence in setting
moral standards.
Undoubtedly the moral influence
of woman, as well as her social in
huence in general, is enhanced by
her education. Undoubtedly the
woman qualified to be the intellectual
companion of educated men Is mora
powerful influence for good than her
mentally less developed sister. With
consequently increasing facilities for
the education of women as well as
of men, the world ought to be better
from moral standpoint than ever
before,-Milwauke Wisconsin.

7 to account temperamentally? 1t will
make life easier to live not only for
yourself, but for those who must live
with you.
The girl who thinks nothing too
much trouble to keep in fashion will
not take time to adjust herself to
family rules, dispositions or views,
Half the family troubles are due to
lack Of adaptability. There are
varied tastes and natures among
brothers and sisters, parents and
children. Does the average girl rec
ognize these differences and adjust
herself to them?
Not she. She takes the Grant
motto of fighting it out on these lines
| If it takes the rest of her life. Placat-
| ing, adapting, sinking ones own per-
sonality for sake of harmony never
occurs to her.
Perhaps girl has had more adj
vantages than her parents. She has
been to school or college, has out
grown home life. What results? In
| stead of adapting herself to ways of
the household, biding her time for
changes, she frets, grows superior in
her manner, drifts away from her
family, even is guilty Of being
ashamed Of them.
Why are there so many unwelcome
visitors? Lack of adaptability. How
ever odd the customs of your friends
home may seem, accept them as your
own, not grudging, carpingly, or with
an air of sufferance, but as il born to
them. If you don't like them, say
nothing, but don't go back.
Have you gone to live in a new
town? The surest way to remain an
outsider is not to be quick readjust-

The AdaptabIe Girl.

Ask yourself, "Am I adaptable?'
This is the secret Of much popu-

power to adjust oneself to surround

Seer ted Sheets.

1t is said that lavender scented
sheets induce slumber. Whether that
is true or not, it is certain that to lie
down in bed after a lovely refreshing
bath in sheets that have a delicate
scent Of lavender about them is most
refreshing and luxurious. 1t does not
cost much to have this luxury and it is
within the possibility of almost every
housekeeper to have in her linen
closet several little finely cut pack
ages of dried lavender leaves. These
can be bought upon the street almost
any time. Put the little packages be-
tween the sheets, pillowcases, towels
and wash clothes. You will find that
the odor will last for long time and
will be enjoyed by all who use your
linen, the odor is so deliciously clean.

Concerning Children.

Children are often worried because
their mothers are too attentive and
continually reprove their small cnes
without reason.
A child should be left alone and
be allowed to play or amuse itself In
Its own way without constant direc-
ton of a nervous mother.
A boy, for example, enjoys more a
few simple toys, and something which
his own ingenuity has worked out,
than the most elaborate plaything
which has been bought.
In the same way the little girl will
lavish her affections on a misshapen
doll, probably made at home, while
the most artistic production Of the
toy shop will lie in state, to be taken
up on rare occasions.
Keep children we'll, clothe them
sensibly, let them understand they are
to amuse themselves, and don't
"fuss" them.---New York Press.
