How to Wear Earrings.

Earrings are being worn more than
ever, but they do not necessitate the
display Of the whole ear, nor does the
fashion mean that the lobes should be
pierced. This should never be done
Boring the ears means that rings must
be placed in them, and this means that
the ear lobes will be pulled down and
elongated until the ears lose their seq
shell semblance. Boring In these days
Is unnecessary. as earrings are hsld IN
place by invisible wires and tiny
screws.
Many Of the new earrings are re-
vivals. The old designs worn by the
gypsies are being adapted to 7 Idern
requirements and handsomely 1ewelsd
Diamonds and pearls are most Otter

gem plays Its part In the new ear

longer. Black and pure white pearls
are made up together. united by 8

These sort of earrings should be kept

Opinions in regard to motherhood
have been flying fast and furious. We
have heard from an eminent ex-presi-
dent of the United States and an
eminent e1-president Of Harvard, as
well as from many less exalted per-
sonages. Probably no family is more
widely known than the Goulds, and
when Mrs. George Gould, who has
successfully reared seven children of
her own, consents to speak of her sys-
tenn and gives her opinions Of a moth
er's duty they are worthy Of serious con-
sideration-a great deal more serious
consideration than the opinion Of any
mere man, since she is not only q
woman Of exceptional intelligence, but
Is enabled to speak from practical ex-
perience. Mrs. Gould's family consists
Of Kingdom, Jay, Marjorie, o Mrs.
Anthony J. Drexel, Jr.; Yivien, now
Lady Decies; George j., Jr., Edith
and Gloria. The eldest, Kingdom, is
twenty-three years Of age, and the
baby Of the family is Gloria, who was
born four years ago.
Briefly put, Mrs. Gould said:
Motherhood is the most beautiful
thing In a woman's life.
A woman secures greater pleasure
from her children than from anything
else.
Large families are good when par
ents are able to care for them, other
wise a pity.
She believes that children should be
brought up In the country whenever
possible, and they should have fresh
air In copious quantities at ell anes~
Children should not be sent to school
until they have grown to an age of un-
Outstanding.
The early training of children by
tutors Is when possible the very best.
When tutors are not to be had mother
and father should direct the training
of children for the first ten OF twelve
years, and she believes a careful train
ing In modern languages the very best
basis of an education.
When the weather permits all study
Is done by her children out of doors.
Outdoor exercise is as necessary as
study.
She never permits any of her chill
dren when young to study for more
than n hour at a time.
Exercise should be play.
All her children except the youngest
are skilled In almost every out of door
game. All but baby swim and ride
horseback every day in the summer.
All her children are started in the
study of music, but are not forced to
continue if they show they have no
real liking for 1t.
Her boys are allowed to follow their
own inclinations so far as training
themselves for business life is con
cerned.
The same freedom of choice was
given to the girls when they grew up.
A mother should have children nea
her as much as possible.
A mother should supervise the dress
ing of her children. In the house none
Of her children Is ever dressed too
warmly. When they go out they al
ways change into warmer clothing.
A mother should have a system IN
the rearing of her children, and she
should rigidly adhere to 1t.
A home should be primarily for the
children. 1t should be the dearest
place in the memory in after years.
She thinks it good for children to
have sisters and brothers Of their own
age that they may study and develop
together.
A child's diet should be simple.
Her one great rule above all Others
is to use common sense at all times.
