DENYING HIS CHILD

.-- -- f Free onf-hand your story tell
 When wi a bosom crony,
 But still keep sometbdng to yoursel'
 Ye scarcely tell to any.
 I'll no gay men are YiIlafns a.;
 The reali hardened wicked,
 Wha' fae nae cheek but human law
 Are to a few restricted-
 The cIeverest of women are apt to make the sorriest mistakes in trying to solve that greafest of human pug zles-t the heart of man. He whom she thinks would turn out to be "a sorry. free lance after maruda@e dis proves her Judgment by casting aside the wdld oats which he has not sown and becoming a. model husband. The quiet young man, a, nnartinet in his own household: the drunkard an elO- qtlent lecturer on ''the evil Of wine, z and so on down a. very long list She
 who weds the man she loves, and who professes an equal love for her, con- siders herself blessed, especially sif children come to cement the merriage bond still firmer.
 Many wives weep wearydng Heaven with tn cir petitions because they are childlesA It is qlnlssaal for a wife to weep because the boon of motherhood Is hers One woman writes me: TT have been married six years- My hus- band andI were 7happy until baby came; since then we have been drift ing steadily but surely apart. My trouble is. my little girl is so extra CTS turn and look at her in wonder when her nurse has her out on the street.
 .sMy husband is ashamed of her. He will pass her on the street if he is accornanied by friend, turning -An.. @s- who was with him the other day said; Why, here comes your nurse girl. ] believe, and your cl1dld.' My husband i ccoIly made answer: That isn't our little one; my nurse girl has a neigh bor's child out airing. The nurse told 1 it all over and am aimost down sick over the matter. What shall I dor ..A1Rs. J. Her grief is a. unique one. I would remind her that babyhood and child hood are deeting. Do not despair bear patiently with your Husbands ill., hunpr, though it is cruel. most inhu- ! man in a father. Reme1nber the story of the ugly ducaxIing, which all the i feathered tribes on land and water made great fun of. What jokes they I cracked about it's long, scraggy neck and wings Time, the great magician, wrought a wonderful change in the ugly duck1ing, turning 1t into a swan F. so -DSAuIlIUA 3tA 5VRt1O saw dL 3CT4od out in wonder at its grace and beauty.
 Plain, homely children, grow into the fairest, most beautiful and gra- cious of naidens. Your little daugh- ter will yet cause her father to be proud of her. rest assured of that. Crossed eyes are easily remedied in infancy, a too-decided upward tilt of the wee nose corrected by mamma's patient fingers and a. face on which the slzdn is drawn over the bones can be filled out by the right kind of nourishing food. Get some reliable book on s.babyhood,' and study it carefully, acting on it's best suggeg- tons. Do not forget that hoEneliness in g child of four is not a lifelong condition. Looking through a colIec- tion of pictures Of the most beautiful women taken in early childhood. we find that the majority Of them were ugly ducl1ings. But, no matter how fll-favored a little one may be, it's fa- ther should never be ashamed of it on that account
 A chdld given to husband and wife is a gift direct from Gods own hand. He is angered at the belittIing of his most precious treasures.
