She must face foes and dear ones
alike, knowing that hey are scrutiniz-

sips, too, must come in for their share
of meddling. The girl has much of
her proper pride and spirit left; this
has never failed in coming to her

to meet the ordeal and to get through
it bravely, holding her head high. The

Such a man should not observe, by the

HAD TO LEARN TO BE at"
Mothers Firmness Lesson to Those
Who Would Allow Child to
Impose Upon Others.

The children were playing in the
sunshine, and judging by their shouts
and laughter they were having a great
time. "Bushel O. wheat-busheI O.

GOMEZ" sounded shrill and gay from
behind big old forest tree over in
the campus. There were so many
grand old trees to hid behind and
such an ideal place for the dear old
game that l lOnged to tear off my
white gloves, throw my hat at the hat
rack and take to my heels. lea wing an
astonished hostess staring after me.
Breezes and sunshine, and the voices
OF happy children sometimes affect
the mind and heels that way, you
know. But before l had time to dis
grace myself the young son of my hos
tess burst in at the front door. He
remembered to snatch off his cap, in
Difference to his mothers caller, but
he could not keep back the tempestu-
Gus complaint which had sent him
flying to the arbiter Of all childish af-
fairs.

painted She plays and plays, but
when she gets caught and it's her turn
she just won't be it "
almost held my breath waiting for
that mothers reply. So many mothers
always take the daughters part, say
ing: Now, let your sister play it her
way; don't tease your sister" etc. But
this mother is different, so she an
swered calmly: Tell Grace that she
will be it when her turn comes, or
she will come in the house" And the
boy. sure of his mothers fairness,

saw the question in my eyes, regard
ing her decision, as | volunteered
some excuse for the little girl who is
a great favOrite of mine, for she said
firmly: Grace is Just as strong as the
boys she is playing with. She can
count quite as we'll, run as fast and
is just as shrewd in catching those
who are hiding, but she doesn't hap
pen to like that part of the game. She

BILE. When that daughter goes out in
to the world to make her own way she
will have the right idea of life. Many
of US have been making the mistake
of letting our daughters hold on to
the tender y-white-handed-she
darling idea, even in this age, when
women are pushing their way to the
front in every line. This mothers
daughter viii understand that if she
is as strong, mentally and physically,
as her brother, if she is going to claim
the same wage, demand the same
rights, she must work in the same
way, without any concessions to her
femininity, or extra consideration-in
fact she must take her place and fill
it eficiently-or get out Of the game.

supply ships, so cents per displace-
ment ton upon army and navy trans

Feast of Epiphany.
With regard TO bread. it is believed
that loaves baked on Christmas eve
remain fresh for ten years. and during
the whole OF the holidays a portion of
bread was left GU on the table night
and day because the Madonna might
come in 10 share it. But unless she
wishes TO bring misfortune on the en-
tire family. it behooves the French
housewife not to bake any bread be-
tween December 25th and the Festival
Of Circumcision.
Cattle can be kept in good health
by giving them something TO drink
Immediately after midnight mass on
Christmas eve before entering the
house. And q good harvest could be
insured If the corn about to be sovn
is carried 10 its destination in the
cloth used for the Christmas dinner.
If you visit a fountain or well on
New Years day and place ii it either
an apple or nosegay. the water will
be rendered wholesome throughout the

knowing that he is a constant caller
and that he takes pain to instill in
her mind that he thinks a great deal
of her. Often he gives her to under
stand that he thinks more of her than
of any young woman he has ever met.
For the time being he is sincere and
means what he says. But how does
she know that they may be intended
for life partners in the near future?
He may be only a deeply interested,
friendly visitor and actually not hav-
ing considered betrothal nor even hav-
ing serious intentions, although she
has made quite an impression upon
him.
If he is a far-seeing young man, he
believes in calling constantly upon the
girl who is pleasing and makes his
visits enjoyable, concluding that he
has plenty of time and opportunity to
consider whether his heart shall be
given into her keeping or not. He
cons over the selfish fact that as he
is heart-whOle and fancy-free, he is
at liberty to pay attention to first one
girl. then another, perhaps. until he
comes to propose.
While their prospects are unsettled,
girls should be earnestly advised not
to allow their thoughts of love to
dwell upon him captive-like. There
in lies the source of many heartache.
During the love time, naturally. bright
young women choose a sunny day to
have their photographs taken, in their
prettiest fetching white frock and rib
bon bows, cOquettish looking hats, the
dainty costume looking too sweet for
anything; captivating those who are
privileged to look upon the smiling
Iace of the picture proudly shown. The
young man takes it from her and
gazes long and rapturOusly at the
lovely bit of femininity the card re-
veals, eXclaiming: Il think it's per
fectly splendid, Don't you want to let
me have one of them? l would ap-
preciate it more than words can tell! "
This little fattery, and thinking it
would be constantly reminder of her,
won a hesitating consent. Take it till
you tire of it and the subject; then
be sure and return it." Il promise
that faithfully" is his response, as he
pockets the photograph.
Little does a girl realize, as in this
case, of the rift in the lutte which sep
arated them. Of it accidentally fall
ing out of an envelope and the club
fellows comments and remarks passed
which were uncomplimentary. Photo
graphs have been lost in the street,
picked up to adorn pamphlets. One
girl, at last wise, declares she never
allowed her photograph to be given
without losing the young man recip-
lent. Usually they refuse to return
pictures or part with them.

er than words can speak: Your I'M

Most all men are chivalrous by nature.
Few II any would be base enough to
look down upon a worthy girl for
this cause. Pity is akin to love. She
seems more beautiful and more re-
fined, because of her pitiful treatment
and her return of good for evil.
Silence was golden TO her. She
could not be induced to go from one
end of the town to the other and to
rake him over the Goals, as he de-
served. She avoided him when she
could. Her face wore a sweet express
sion and she did not despise ali men
on account of one mans doing. 'Ir.

MERRY WIVES.

walked in the world with the worldly;
I craved what the world never gave.
And l said: In the world each ideal
That SHINES like a star on life's wave
Is wrecked on the shores of the real
And sleeps like dream in a grave"
There are women whose only de-
light consists in leading a merry life,
planning ahead for every day and
evenings amusement The more they
go among gay pleasure thrOngs the
more they want to be in their midst.
They assume an air of sunshine and
the fragrance of roses is about them.
If their lives ever had a desire to
change into busy, important spheres
of womanhOod, this dear privilege
seems denied them through their 60
ings, which they cannot break away
from.
The women who have reached this
stage should not be blamed and eX-
amples of useless lives pointed out by
those who do not consider the cause
and effect of what takes them into the
path of never-ceasing revelry. Quite
a number of these fair women who are
lovers of sport have in their hearts re-
solves, thoughts, rich, mellow and of
deep appreciation for their loved ones,
the stay-at-home folks, who do not
leave the hearthstone any oftener
than they are obliged to.
Very often they are married to men
whose dispositions and fancies are
just the opposite to their own. The
regret of one or both since they wed
is that no dear little one has come to
their household to hold their devotion
within the four walls of their home.
This is the serious drawback which
has led her to seek solace and pass
away time merrily in the outside live
ly world
The merry wife is popular and
never lacks an opportunity to push
forward as an attraction, added to her
alluring knack of making herself beau
tiful, together with adopting pleasing
styles. The seasons of merry wives
pass by with countless rapidity. The
first few seasons she is full Of vim,
radiant over the idea that she has
taken the shine off from her young
woman rivals. ConQuests by the
score she knows she has made. Bache
lors, married men. those who have
| come in contact with her, have never
missed paying homage to her merry
moods. She expected this sort Of life
to so on and last from one season to
another
AS they winged their swift flight by
the merry wife at length looked long
and earnestly into her faithful mir
ror, realizing the truth. Youth and its
pUrposeless years have fed; beauty
she can no longer boast of. 1t has
faded under the relentless hand Of
time and artifice. With hands clinched
! lightly, lips too mute for a Sob eyes
too dry for tear, she faces the in
| evitable-the problem of what she had
better turn to the rest of her years,
the misspent, merry life which opened
| out so rosily. She is not lonely now
in her home She creates q new in
| terest in home and dear ones. There
is a grateful exchange Of deep true
love which experience has taught is
a wife's only happy tie that is lasting
and full of tender sentiment and devo-
ton. Husbandlike, he is glad she
took her time to find this out.
