H. T. Parker in the Boston Tran

and progress she-an American singer
and in the concert room only-has
been called to the most eXacting con-
cert stage in America. Once and again
in this sorry and warped old world of
ours, mere achievement does have its
due reward

Joffre,s Nickname.

In a note on General Joffre, London
Truth says: "A man of bourgeois
family, very much the soldier, very
much the mathematician, very much
the man of action, and quite as much
the man of thought. His family be-
longs to the eastern Pyrenees. An
auctioneer founded it about a hun
dred years ago. This ancestor went
from village to village in a showman's
van laden with goods. They were
trumpeted by him as bargains, 'J'offre
such or such an article at such and
such price!' he cried, when he drew
up in the mayoralty square or market
place of burg or village. He began at
a high figure and went down gradual
ly. His Catalan name proclaimed him
foreigner, and he adopted the nick
name county folk had given him Of
Joffre-le pere Joffre."

When Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth enter

up behind lock and key, and usually
wore themselves out in their effort to
break through, and went to sleep in
consequence, from sheer exhaustion.
This had always insured the sue

Dressing for the Days Work.

Cleanliness is not merely condition,
t is an influence, which, next to Godli-
ness, is strongest to promote courage
and self-respect. Every day women are
realizing more clearly that slatternly
appearance is a positive handicap in the
performance OF household duties. l
know one woman who leaves her break
fast dishes unwashed till she has comb
cd her hair donned fresh house gown,
and set her living room in order. In
answer to my inquiry as to why she al
ways did this, she replied:
ut would be worth my while just for
the comfort receive in knowing l am
ready for anything that may happen
unexpected company, illness, or aoci-
dent. Then there is pleasure in doing
homework when ons dresses up for It,.
Everything one does seems so much
more worth while. The feeling of rush
which we all know in connection with
drudgery is lessened and one feels as If
me had time to be dainty. When wash
the dishes in dirty dress, with dishev-
eed hair and half.laced shoes, l hurry
over the task for fear some one will
come in before can finish 1t. feel
that there is no time to scald the china
or polish the silver, but when know
that /, and my living room, are ready
for any emergency, find 1t q pleasure
to polish the glassware and scour the
silver till it Shines"
Home making is an art; much rarer
art than nursing or school teaching or
any of the dozen principal professions
open to women. 1t Is composed OF
many details too fine for the worried,
hurried housewife to grasp. But take
fifteen minutes some time In the carly
morning in which to change yourself
from a slatternly. reluctant household
drudge into a self-confldent mistress,
prepared to discharge pleasantly q num-
Der of pleasant duties, and you will be
delighted to note the comforting atmos.
phere of leisureness which will surround
you all the busy day. Self cleanliness
makes for cleanliness OF surroundings,
and such Is the strength Of mental i'm
pressions that both unconsciously create
a feeling Of we'll being, which Ia only an.
other name for happiness.
