Some Evening RsverIes.

If girls were educated to take
care of themselves, they would not
be so ready to marry, and they
would marry better, and there
would be less trouble--fewer divor-
ces. If they were brought up to
work, they would know how to use
the broom, the duster and the roll
ing pin. There are certain qualities
which are just as valuable in the
housekeeper and the mother as
they are in the business man
skill, intelligence and good sense.
When those qualities are rated a
little higher in women, domestic
machinery will run a good deal
smoother and children will be
brought up to fight their own bat
ties and earn their own bread. We
all know what that will mean-less
crime, fewer paupers. The press
and the loom instead of the prison
the altar instead of the scaffold.
Again and again the question is
asked "Can a woman follow any
special calling and be a good
mother?'' Love is born, so is good
sense. The woman who has those
qualities will be a good mother,
whether she is hand-worker or
head-worker. 1t is not difference
in station or occupation that makes
the good mother-it is the spirit.
Furthermore, some of the best
mothers, according to the old stan
dard, women who toll early and
late, who never leave their homes,
who deny themselves every comfort
and give up to every right, have
the worst children. They do the
hardest work, they wear the poor.
est clothes, they try to save their
children from every hardship, only
to learn, when it is too late, thai
they have made them idle and
selfish.
