Make a Fresh Start.

My own counsellor which would hks
comment and criticism from the cornerites
wise in motherhood-is to make fresh
start. Don't keep on finding fault. but see
IL you cannot start something new. What
this must be circumstances will have to
decide. II you can manage II. year at a
boarding school where you can be sure she
will be under good influences may be the
best thing for her. There she will get q
new point Of view. will look at her home
from a different angle. will have a chance
to see that the best wisdom of others con-
firms your standards and may come back
with an appreciation Of you and your love
for her she never possessed before.
AZ have doubtless said before. I am not
in favor Of sending girls to boarding schools
as Q general rule. Ny own opinion is that
at the formative period OF their lives they
should be closely under the mothers IT,
fiuence and should have the full benefit OF
her guiding hand. But exceptions will
occur now and then and this strikes ma
as being one OF them. At all events. give
the plan a trial II you can. and when she
returns to her home there is a chance to-
make a fresh start.
Should II be impossible to send her away,
try what the fresh start will do without the
break. Endeavor to make a change in yor
method Of living and governing your daugh-
ter. Invite TO the house persons she will,
like. Go about with her more. Entertain her
friends in the home and plan with her what
you shall do to give them pleasure. Buy
her a new frock or two and consult her
taste in the choice and the fashion In which
It Is made. Throw yourself into her pur-
suits and give her the sensation she II
growing up to be a companion for you asi
never before. Let me hear the result.
Let me hear also from other mothers who
may have suggestions in helpful lines. Their
publication may aid others besides this

eager to assist in her hard struggle.

people, and am wondering If you could
induce some kind friend to send me some

work and help pass the time. / would be so
thankful. MRS. Z. c."
OF course we receive frequent requests
for silk pieces from shut-ins. and sympa-
thize with all of them, but my kindly feel
ings go out especially to a case like this Of
a woman invaded on the threshold Of her
married life. 1 am sure the pieces she
wishes will be forthcoming. and hope they
may come soon and be plentiful. / will

Pieces for Quilts.
II any one will kindly send me some
wool, silk, and cotton pieces will gladly
pay postage on them. 1 need them very
much. n. L.
This sounds like the application Of some
one interested in piecing a quilt, and 1
imagine there are women enough with SIM
liar interests to be glad OF the chance to
send some Of their extra pieces to this cor
respondent. Her address may be had for
the asking.
Fond of Books.

As am at home every night and have
nothing for amusement. / would like to
know il there is anybody in your corner
who has such a book as the atlas of the

books suitable for a boy OF my age.

Such an appeal as this should call forth
quick and ready response. We do not find
any too many boys of II willing to stay at
home in the evenings and seek entertain
ment in books, and the sort he wants are Of
a nature which should help and educate.
To the boy himself 1 would like to counsel
a little attention to the points OF writing
and spelling as well as reading. Quiet
evenings at home with only a few books
have given us some Of our best scholars and
finest men, and IL the books which are
bound to come will be studied and COM
mitted to memory they will provide a
chance of education which is not to be
despised.

The criticism uttered by J. Z. S to the
effect that the prevailing tendency of those
who are asked for advice along these lines
is to say the child should have been taught
obedience when young comes to me as
more or less OF home thrust. / confess
that when some one approaches me with
the question as to what shall be done to
train a child OF IL to 16 in habits Of obedi-

say: " You should have done that before
