Same Rule Appies NTH Children.


The same rule applies with children. We
have to admit there are women who feed
and nourlsh and clothe their children. who
see that their bodies are well cared for,
even that the minds are looked after. so
far as sending the boys and girls to school
when they attain school age, but who yet
have no real perception of what marriage
may mean in tho way OF understanding
and direction to better things How much
do you personally know of the mind and
heart Of Your half grown son or daughter
Does either one come to you with every
joy or sorrow, every new scheme, no matter
how foolish or mistaken, every friendship.
no matter how unpromisng, sure OF your
understanding and appreciation, secure
that whatever is wrong, mother can make
1t right; whatever is right, mother will
comprehend and approve?
If not, you have failed in the work of
keeping yourself UP as mother, and un-
less you can feel that your husband turns
TO you in the same way l have told, you
your children should you have left un-
done one of the chief duties of your wife
hood.
Take time to think this matter over care
fully. Il you cannot declare to your own
satisfaction that you have kept yourself
up to the ideal of wifehood and mother
hood TO an extent that exceeds the cases
| have instanced as examples to avoid.
Don't feel that you can fail to meet your
childrens standards in appearance, in
Dress In knowledge of secular things and
then expect them to respect your views
when 1t comes to spiritual affairs The
thread of sympathy and understanding, the
esteem OF your opinions and judgments
must run Through the whole life. You
have to work for your living in their ap-
probation, just as you have to struggle 10
make the best of yourself In order to re-
tain the honor and regard of your hus-
band His love there may be no risk OF
your losing, but IL 1t is to be a love which
upllfts and helps you must never let your
self fall below his estimate of you, must
keep yourself up in every sense of the
word.

lSets were most plentiful? 1t never
seemed to occur to her that the mar
ketmen iaid in large supplies of fish be-
cause Lent made demand for sea food.
l have often wished that the same kind
of call and supply prevailed about fruit in
the season when we eat most meat. are
|,sometimes prevented from taking exercise
by inclement weather. and need the fruit
1uices to regulate our systems. Dried trop-
ical fruits-dates, figs. raisins. citron, cur
rants, and the like-are with US, but they
are not what we require. Acids. such as
that of the orange, the grapefruit, the APP
pie. either fresh or dried. or canned native
fruits. such as have been put up In hot
weather for winter use. are more service to
us just now.
Make study of offering these in desserts
of sundry kinds. Our families are not al
ways content with fresh fruit. pure and
simple. They demand pies. and puddinss.
and tarts, and probably would be satisfied
with suet puddings and mince pies and
French pancakes and other heavy sweets
that make demand upon digestions which
are already overworked by the quantity Of
meats and starches we have bestowed upon
them. If you are to wheedle your family
into partakins of the fruit juices they
really need you must use Judgment in pre-
pairing these in sufficient variety to appeal
to the appetite.
The following recipes may help you and
may serve as suggestion for other COM

II is worth while to add that where fresh
fruit is called for tie evaporated may be
used If it is first soaked adequately. AsI
said above the canned fruit may also be
employed in the place of that which Is out
of season or too expensive for daily use.

Housckeeper Not Belittled.

You all know me weil enough TO be sure
that I have no intention of belittling the
position of wife and mother and housekeep-
er. 1t Is the work God has put into your
hands and he means you to make the best
of it. But you fail to do this when you let
one side of your being atrophy. You are
developing one department of your nature
and your work at the expense of the Others
and making ready to present to him mis-
shapen, distorted product instead of the
beautiful, symmetrical result he has the
right to expect from you.
Perhaps you don't see how this applies in
the case of Mrs. A. What has her neglect of
her figure and dress to do with her discharge
of her God given duties?
1t has more than you suppose. For the
figure and dress are both due to her having
left undone the things she should have done.
Perhaps I have quoted to you before the
saying: You have not fulfilled every duty
in life unless you have fulfilled that of be-
ing pleasant" Let me paraphrase that and
say, You have failed in part of your duty
IL you have not made yourself look attrac-
tive
This is not counsel OF vanity. 1t Is adj
vice to confer happiness on your husband
and children by care Of your appearance
that will make them proud of you and glad
TO go about with you and to have their
