regard these last nerve racking days for
the woman about to become wife that
he suggests that the bride who really
wants to enjoy her honeymoon and re-
turn home radiant and happy, instead OF
peevish and nervous. as is often the case,
should go into retreat for the week be-
fore the wedding, and come forth on her
wedding day bright, fresh, and lovely.
Every woman who haE been married, or
who has had wedding In the family,
knows that the million and one little
duties and ceremonials connected with
the exchange Of maideniiood for matron-
hood are all tiring and exciting.
There is the fuss OF packing, the OPEN
ing and replying to belated wedding gifts,
and dozen other waves Of excitement
that often cause the ceremony to prove
the last straw for the girl already high
strung and nervously inclined.
Added to this are the ante-nuptial
teas, dinner, luncheons, &C, arranged
In the brides honor, all OF which claim
so much of her vitality and nerve force
that she cannot help feeling that the
wedding march is being played out Of
tune.
The June bride. and every other bride
for that matter. should have the moral
courage TO refuse all social engagements
for one week prior to her wedding; also
she should refuse to shop or bother
with any trousseau plans these last
days.
She should 80 arrange her fittings that
all her clothes are ready at least two
weeks before the date, and the last week
should be given to quiet and rest and

her. and why she did not put Johnny,
who had grown a big lad, out to work;
but the woman steadfastly refused to
listen to such suggestions. In her soul
she nourished a great ambition, toward
which she struggled through sickness
and pain, with feet that faltered with
WEAKNESS, and bones that cried out for
! rest.
The Pelican Sons and Daughters.
And this ambition was to give her chill
dren an education; to give them advan-
| tages that she herself had never had;
to raise them up above herself Well,
she succeeded. as a woman always does
when sho gives her whole heart to a
single object. She put her children
through the grammar school, and the
high school,, and because education was
her fetich, with almost Incredible self
sacrifice, she put them also through coll
lege.
And the result Of all Of her ufe's hard
labor Is that her children are ashamed
OF her.
Theythout her opindons and deride her
views. They criticise her grammar and
correct her table manners. They sneer
at her old-fashioned ways of doing things,
honor In her own home.
Worse, she Is afraid of her children,
who give themselves such airs Of supe-
riority. When they have company she
meekly keeps In the background. Before
she speaks she trembles lest her pro-
nunciation should offend Mary's culti-
waited ear. She eats deprecatingly, lest
she be committing some breach Of table
etiquette. to which James shall call at
tention. She quakes II she ventures to
express an opinion. in dread Of the con-
temptuous curl that Johns lips viii take
over mothers ignorance.
None OF her childrens snubs are lost
on the old woman. Every one stabs down
to the very spot where mother love lives,
and the wound bleeds In tears that water
her pillow at night.
She wonders II her children know how
cruel they are. II they realize how their
criticisms hurt. II they cannot see that
the very reason she has had no time to
cultivate herself, to preserve her beauty,
20 learn how to dress. and play bridge, Is
because she gave every minute and hour,
every ounce OF strength and vitality that
was In her to their service. to securing
to them advantages she had never had.

Listen. you superior young people, to
this little story from real life.
There Is a woman. a plain. homely
old woman, without one vestige OF cul-
ture, or style, or anything that you con-
interesting to you. Her eyes ars faded.
her hands are hard and work-knotted,
her face Is lined and wrinkled, her hair
is gray and sparse, and she gathers 1t
into a little knob, about the size OF a
walnut. at the back of her head.
She doesn't know how to dress or how
to pick out the clothes that would best
conceal her defects. She prefers to sit
in the kitchen rather than in the par
lor. She has no society small talk, and
her grammar is not always beyond re-
proach. AT the table, she likes to eat
with her knife, and drink her tea out
Of the saucer.
She's just plain, ordinary old woman.
There are tens of thousands like her.
Nothing to make you give her a second
glance, or second thought, unless you
might happen to get a glimpse into her
heart, and see there a tragedy that Is as
blsck and bitter as ingratitude and vast
ed love and effort can make one.
Years and years ago this old woman
was q young woman. pretty and gay,
strong OF body and strong OF heart, and
filed with the Joy Of living. She was
poor. ana she married man no better
on than she was, but they both had
youth, and health, and industry. and ann
bition. and they set out working,
