A Family of Chins.

Her eldest daughter already had one
double chin, and the little girl, who was
quite puffy in appearance had already
q sood-sized dent under her chin. which
is the first promise of what is to be.
My eyes were riveted on that fat
lady who, by the way, was encased in
the most expensive of lingerie dresses.
1t must have taken terrible tug to get
her into it, but probably the fat chill

myself sick like that, | suddenly came

her terrible example always before
them. Probably when she's at home
she groans and grunts and has heat
prosuation in the summertime. and
nervous chills in the winter and heaves
when she goes upstairs, and comes
down as if an invisible derrick was
slowly aiding her TO descend: yet these
girls have not the sense to say, I'VE
won't be like mamma"
If We're one of those girls ia make
up my mind to avoid fat, if I had to be
as heroic as Joan of Arc. or a lady
aviator would not eat fat-building
things. ! wouldn't drink water with
my meals and ia give up potatoes and

Emerson.
| would like to have my girls read
that carefully, and then consider it.
If every one of you is a quotation
from all your ancestors, what is it you
say?
II girl is fiippant, does she realize
that her fippancy makes others wonder
what kind of a mother she has?
If she is careless in attire, and has
loose strings hanging where strings
should not be, does she think that she
is quotation from her ancestors. a
quotation that tells the world her
mother is very untidy woman?
If she is loud in dress and boisterous
in speech, does she know that she is a
quotation that says her mother talks
always in a shrill scream?
If Emerson is right, and it is hoped.
for the sake of many mothers. that he
isn't, many girls are quotations that
arouse no interest to learn more of the

I refer to the girl who laughs in
shrill caltope screech.
l refer to the girl with buttons off.
and a collar that is soiled.
l refer to the girl who regards a
quick impudence as brilliant repartee.
and who would not refrain from saw
ing a witty thing because it might
hurt some one, but would, rather, say
it the quicker.
l refer to the girl who uses slang
herself and regards slang talk in a
young man as the height Of brilliant
conversation.
l refer to the girl who parades her
beau" in her talk with other girls as
though he were a paragon of all vir-
tues, and she the most irresistible of
her sex to secure him.
I refer to the girl who tells her Sc
crets to other girls, and never confides
in her mother.
I refer to the girl who demands one
standard of behavior for her brother,
and is lax in the standard by which
she measures the young man who
courts her.
Parents and Home Last.
I refer to the girl who makes her
obligations to her parents and her
home come the last in her little world;
who places the friends met away from
home above those she left there; who
Sights the love of those who have
done the most for her for the attention
of those who would do the least.
I refer to the girl who contrasts the
flattery of her friends with the kindly
criticism of her parents and counts the
former as Of greater value.

The gentlemans young son came to

absence. Hes gone to the golf club, "

perhaps, some shade of disapproval in
the parsons eyes, he eXtenuated thus:
He's not gone to play golf, you know,
not on a Sunday; only to drink beer
and have a game of cards"
Having thus cleared his fathers
character, he shut the door on the

JEWELRY \ NECESSITY.
Is RULING IN COURT

Indianapolis.-Fin jewels have
become a necessity as well as a lux
ury, according to a decision handed
down by the Indiana Appellate court
in an appeal taken from a Kokomo
court by DIR. William Cooper, who
took a young woman for. his second
wife.
The physician had been inclined to-
ward the simple life, but he told his
bride, who was Miss Jennie Story, an
employe of n millinery shop, that af-
ter their marriage she could have fine
jewelry He gave her $3.50 diamond
as an engagement ring
DR. Cooper owned $4,000 worth
of property. He was 65 years old
and somewhat ecoomical but the new
Mrs. Cooper was fon-l of fine raiment.
After the marriage ceremony it is
said that the physician did not come
up to the young wife's expectations
in money matters. So she visited the
jewelry stores and ran up a bill of
$3.50, and the husband refused to set
tie. Then he was sued. The judge
decided against him and he appealed
