very best time is in the GOODNESS of
the morning. You can just plan then
to have your day bigger and finer

I'VE all need solitude and we all
need pleasure. Life has to have re-
taxation and spice as well as ideals.
But l don't know how any one can
be beautiful unless they try to be
sweet and lovable. And that is not

Miss Jerome.

make them the fashion of day"
And so l do, little sisters, and so

The little knitted cap our

used for the revers, hem and
cuffs of the white double

with eight white bone buttons.
The body of the sweater
and crown of the cap are of

But far back in the depths of her

7 T makes little difference how many
children there are in a motherless
u brood, there is always some woman
brave enough to promise to be a moth
er to them. Actuated largely by love
for their father, and with a plying ten
derness for them for which she is never
given due credit, she becomes his wife.
And from that day till the day of her
death she is classed among the Pro
noun Parents
She wants to love the children and be
loved by them. She would like to have
them call her Mother" or Aunt" or
by her first name, but their little lips
stiffen at the thought of any title so
suggestive of forgiveness for one who
has committed the crime of taking the
place Of the beloved dead. Without any
agreement. and perhaps almost uncon-
sciously, they begin to refer to her solely
as Her or She"
And in this rebellion they are encour-
aged, actively or tacitIy by all who
loved the woman who is dead
She is your mother now" they will
say, and it is your duty to love her.
Your poor dear mother, ! wonder what
she would say if she knew you poor lit
tie things had a stepmother?"

Objects of Pity.

They are made to understand that

some monster Father has brought home

They meet her with a fear, anger and
resentment that are never entirely over

The Pronoun Parent may he a para

may have a heart filed with love for
her children. But never may she hope
10 make their home so pleasant that
they will acknowledge they fare better
than when in the pillar to- post condi-
tons from which their fathers mar
Tiage rescued them.
She gets no credit for her efforts. and
she receives a criticism that is at all
