DO Only Daughters Make Good Wives.
In the strenuous rush and whirl OF
modern life, the only daughter is very
contempt. Her quiet environment has
made her shy and sensitive, ana her
sterling qualities are concealed with
in shell OF reserve. Ordinary &C
quaintances assert that she is slow
and stupid; but her few real friends
declare that she IS charming
The only daughter. as a rule. is IN

and the mature experisnce of the lat
ter inculcates a sense OF sympathy
and loving kindness in the younger
mind that stand her in good stead
when she is called upon TO face LIES
battles in a homs of her own.
Then, too, an only daughter is usu-
ally domesticated. Her mother has
sufficient leisure to teach her little in
tricate details OF housekeeping. as well
as the art of cooking; and. as time
goes on, she very often is delighted
to undertake the household manage
ment entirely She acts as hostess
and attends 10 all social duties when
her mother is tired, or away from
home, and this practical knowledge
of the art of homemaking is very
valuable to the young girl. who prob
ably in after life proves treasure to
her husband.
1t has often been said that the only
daughter is selfish, and certainly the
vast amount Of love that is bestowed
upon her may tend TO war~ her ma
ture lAt her mothers careful training
usually protects her true character
And, although her parents may be
lavish with regard to gifts FOR their
daughter, they usually demand uncon-
sciously a good deal in return. 1t is
the only daughter who remembers her
fathers little comforts and takes an
interest In her mothers fancy work
She helps to entertain prOsy people
who do not interest her and listens
to wearisome parental discussions
which are not at all entertaining, and
this side Of her life certainly coun-
teracts selfish tendencies.
The only daughter also has usually
a very delightful nature. She lives in
an atmosphere of affection and, as a
rule, quarrellng and petty pickering
are absolutely unknown to her. The
home of her sirlhood is entirely hap
py and she will endeavor to cultivate
its example in her own home A do

than a brilliant one, and the man
who marries an only daughter almost
invariably finds that he has done we'll,

She has been the companion and
loving helper of her mother and her
early training stands her In good
stead. She has been Il useful deypt-
ed daughter and she makes an ideal
