HOW GIRLS CAN HELP THEIR
MOTHERS.

Every girl, if she is not thoroughly
selfish, is anxious to lift some of the
burden of household management
from her mothers shoulders on to her
own; but, unfortunately, many girls
wait to be asked to do things instead
of being constantly on the lookout for
little duties which they are capable of
doing.
If you would be of any real use in
the home you must be quick to notice
what is wanted; the room that needs
busting, the flowers that need re-
arranging, the curtain which needs a
ring, and is therefore dropping. And
then you must not only be willing to
do what is needed, but willing to do
it pleasantly, without making people
feel that you are being martyred.
1t is almost useless to take up any
household duties unless you do them
regularly. If you do thing one day
and not the next you can never be
depended on, and if someone else has
to be constantly reminding you of and
supervising your work it probably
gives that person more trouble than
doing it herself would cause.
Have definite day and a definite
time for all you do. The flower vases
will need attention every other day,
the silver must be cleaned once a
week, and there should be one day
kept for mending and putting away
household linen. Begin, too, directly
after breakfast, and keep on steadily
till your work is done.

VOCATION OF MOTHERHOOD.

One of the most disastrous effects of
modern conditions has been the disap-
pearance of the home, properly so call
ed, and the consequent deviation of the
mother from her true place, which is
the center of her family and the pivot
of her childrens lives.
The standard of civilization is al
ways dependent upon the home, and
the nucleus of the home in every race
and cline is indisputably the mother.
The trend of Socialism is to separate
the child from the mother and hand
him over to the State; and reason
must have reached very low ebb
with the women of today when they
listen unmoved to theories that would,
if realized rob them of their highest
prerogatives.
But the vocation of motherhood was
already on the decrease. Materalism
now pushes it hard. A more alarming
symptom than the declining birth rate
is the assumption of the name of mo-
Their by women who have merely
brought child into the world.
Can she be titled mother who does
not devote even one-fourth of her day
to the care and upbringing of her off
spring? What are her claims to rever-
ence and obedience whose life is filled
with thousand occupations in which
her children have no part? Can ire
sponsible, frivolous butterflies of fash
ion, whose main ambition is to look as
young as their grown-up daughters,
command allegiance and affection
With the introduction of a hundred
labor-saving machines, hands formerly
busy in household work were made
idle: and swifter, easier methods of
locomotion draw apart the inmates of
the home.
But wherever the mother faithfully
fulfills her responsibilities there need
be no disruption of the family circle.
Unfortunately, many women seem to
have lost their footing and are striv-
ing by new departures in all direc-
tions to fill up the gap in their lives oc-
casioned by superfuous leisure.
1t should be remembered that the
greatest leaders and profoundest think
ers were formed in the quiet sanctity
of the perfect home. When life was
not frittered between travel and the
theatre, when, instead of host of &C

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A GRAIN OF SAND.

Mother! Mother! There's some
thing in my eye! Please take it out,
quick!"
Flossy came hurrying to her
mothers room. Her blue eyes were
bloodshot, her eyelids swollen, and
the tears were running down her
cheeks.
'Why, what is it?" asked her mother
as she put her arms around the child.
81 don't know; it's an awful big
thing. The wind blew it in my eye
minute ago"
The mother examined the afflicted
eye carefully but could find nothing
except tears.
'T don't see anything in it, dearie. !"
"But it's there, mother; please get
it out. It makes me so uncomfort-
able!"
The mother looked again. Then
she bathed the hurt eye with warm
water and told Flossy to keep it closed
for time; but the poor eye did not
get any better. Something was in it
something as big as a marble, F1ossy
thought.

AT AVE TIME.

Mid leafy bowers where silence was
supreme,
Before a shrine of Mary knelt she
there
Angelic-like, to speak her evening
pray'r,
Awaiting far-off answers it would
seem.
White robed and girdled messenger of
God
Away from worldly pleasures, and
apart
With Him at Ave" time with Him who
trod
The road to Calvary with broken
heart.
And I who laughed and scoffed within
the past,
Fell reverently down on Alba's hill
And asked her Christ, my Christ, for
strength and will
To follow in his footsteps till the
last
Thus, she who in the other days l
knew
In circles gay, found happiness sub
lime
Within those clustered walls at cave
time;
When l left all the false to find the
true

THE REeeAR CAT.

Poor little beggar cat, hollow-eyed
and gaunt,
Creeping down the alley-Way like a
ghost of want;
Kicked and beaten by thoughtless
boys, bent on cruel play,
What a sorry life you lead whether
night or day.
Hunting after crusts and crumbs,
gnawing meatless bones,
Trembling at a human step, fearing
bricks and stones,
Shrinking at an outstretched hand,
knowing nought but blows,
Wretched little beggar cat, born to
suffer woes.
Stealing to an open door, craving food
and meat,
Frightened off with angry cries and
broomed into the street,
Tortured, leased and chased by dog,
through the lonely night,
Homeless little beggar cat, sorry is
your plight.
Sleeping anywhere you can, in the
rain or snow;
Waking in the cold, grey dawn, won
dering where to go;
Dying in the street at last, starved
to death at that!
Picked up by the scavenger-poor
tramp cat!

God forbid exclaimed Father
Vaughan, that Catholic successes and
triumphs should be in any measure
due to the plurality of divorces among
their fellow-citizens, and to the iniq-

less ignoble processes than these we
should like to see the Church of Christ

FATHER VAUGHAN's IMPRESS
SIONS OF AMERICA.

How is the Protestant Church far
ing in the United States?' queried the
Catholic Times representative of
Father Vaughan after his recent return
to England. Father Vaughan replied:
Il am sorry to say it is a fact that
Professionalism in all forms and
fashions is daily shedding it's old dog
matte tenets so as more readily to
adjust itself to the modern world.
Protestant theology is being reshaped
in it's seminaries to suit what it calls
the social implications of the Gospel
1t no longer asks what is a mans
dogmatic creed, but what is his
social work 1t calls itself by the old
name of Christian, but it's Christianity
is dying of anaemia. Professionalism can
no longer be called the breakwater
against infidelity. 1t is too inverte-
brate to stand up against anything,
and it's present mission seems to be
to f1irt with Socialism. Thousands of
it's ministers are being claimed by So
cialists as their ardent followers. The
Catholic Church on the contrary, after
a patient and exhaustive study OF
Socialism, has come to the conclusion
that it is something much more than
an economic theory. She recognizes
with her men of light and leading that
it is a religion-a Church which wants
to rise up on the ruins of Christianity.
If Socialism is to be put back and kept
in it's place, it is the Catholic Church
that will have to do it. The salt of
other Churches has lost it's SAVIOUR,
and their lights have burnt out or
else are quenched."
The Future of the Church in
the States.
"The Church question in America"
he said, els school question; in other
words, it's fate tomorrow depends upon
it's state today. If throughout the
States the children of Catholic parents
were schooled in a Catholic atmos-
phere, and under Catholic teachers, in
another generation Catholics will be
on top. The tide of immigration is
Catholic one. And, what is more, it is
from these Catholic emigrants set

CHRISTIANITY IN A NUTSHELL

Christianity in nutshell is simply
Love thy God; love thy neighbor."
We can only prove that we love God
by loving our neighbor. While we
are commanded to fear God, l main
tain that love is the most important
motive force in Christianity. The
great difference in the religion of the
pagan and of the Christian is this that
while the pagan feared and wor-
shipped his gods, he did not love
them. They were too far away and
too vague. Christ, on the other hand,
not only loves and came to save the
world but He loves every man and
every woman individually-He loves
each of you just as if you were the
only person in the world.

If you begin by sitting down "just

you will "just arrange the trimming

A girl who has brothers may spare
her mother all those tiresome little
jobs which boys are always request
ing to have done for them, if she will
only do them kindly. But boy will
not come and ask his sister to repair

him paste for his photograph album

is quite possible for the daughter at

humor; nothing pleased her.

mother, over and over again. "You
make me very uncomfortable. If you
don't stop worrying you must go away
by yourself"
Flossy sat down by the window
pouting. In a little while her face
frightened and she came to her
mother and put a little soft kiss on
her cheek.
"I'm like that grain of sand, mother,
don't you think SOP" she said.
I'm not very big, but make people
uncomfortable when my temper gets

WHERE OUR GIRLS MAKE A MIS-
TAKE.

1t has for some time been current
comment among observing people
that in the question of dress it has
become almost impossible on the
street to distinguish one class of girls
from another. Nor is this fact so
surprising when one analyses the sit
uation. The Partisan fashions that
come to America are not those that
the nice women of Paris wear; they
are essentially the styles of the man
uequin and the Partisan underworld.
The American counterparts of these
French women know this, and copy
their foreign sisters, as it is perfectly
proper that they should do. What is
the hallmark of particular class of
women on the streets of Paris, known
to every Partisan, becomes the hall
mark of the same class in America.
But the French girl of modesty never
wears these styles, and that is where
our America girl of modesty goes
astray. She does not dress like her
French sister, but like the girl whom
her French sister disdains. We have
got things mixed up a bit in this
country, as far as Paris fashions are
concerned, and the time has come
when American parents of daughters
should wake up to this fact.

LESSON xxi.
Eggs and Milk.

Be sure that eggs and milk are per-
fectly fresh for custards. Boiled GUS
tard is the basis for many puddings,
ice creams and sauces.
General Rules for Custards.
Scald milk in double boiler. Beat
eggs slightly, stir in sugar and salt,
and then slowly add hot, milk. Re-
turn to double boiler and stir until
custard coats spoon, or until OF
smooth creamy consistency. Then i'm
mediately remove from the fire and
add f1avoring. 1t requires care to
get a custard just right; a moment
too soon, on taking from the hre,
leaves it too thin; a moment too long
curdles it. Should it curdle, by using
a Dover egg beaten it may be restored
to a smooth consistency, but will not
be so thick. When eggs are scarce
use u tablespoon cornstarch in place
of egg yolk.
Boiled Custard.
2 cups scalded milk.
Yollks 3 eggs.
