SUB ROSA
BIZ VIRGINIA vANE.
Daughters Sacrifice.

Dear Virginia Vane: want TO get
married, but financial difficulties stand
| in the way. NV mother struggled hard
to put me through high school, and
after I left I got job and gave her
every cent of my wages. Now If get
married, mother will have to find some
sort of work to do, which hurts me
terribly. Have the right to take my
happiness at the expense Of hers? I
hate to take this money away from her,
but could not bear to give up my
| flance. BROWN EYES.
Certainly It would be folly to give
| up your fiance in order to stay home
and take care of your mother, since in
| that way you could make no one happy
Your mother would suffer, knowing of
your sacrifice for her, and knowing
that you had let your best chance of
happiness go by, perhaps forever.
You would be miserable, and even
though you had the courage to stick
to your job, you could not help feelings
Of resentment and bitterness which
would make your relationship with
mother strained and unhappy. Your
fiance, Of course, would be wretched,
and there you have three lives all
spoiled because Of your mistaken idea
of gratitude.
Your mother would rather work than
have you give up marriage for her sake.
G. E.: What scrt of boy friend is
he, anyway, If you can't tell him the
plain, unvarnished truth-that you're
50 poor this year you have no smart
clothes, and that the thought OF going
out In your rather shabby costumes
simply appallS you.
The only test. Of friendship or love
that proves anything Is the test made
| under difficult conditions. You have
! had every reason to believe that this
boy is fond of you, while things were
going well and everyone was happy.
That was easy. But now you can see
for yourself whether or not he's real
friend.
Tell him the truth, of course, and
get all this worry and fuss off your
mind. He will probably feel sorry that
he has pestered you so much on this
subject. You two will have more
complete understanding just from the
fact that you've sacrificed little bit
Of pride IN order to tell him the honest
truth.
Carrie: No, you can't decide things
for your children now. They have
grown up and they're human beings
with their own ideas and opinions.
They will 60 their own way now and II
you want their love and sympathy you
must take care not to try to influence
or interfere to any great extent.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Nothing pleases the young mother as
much as an exhibition OF her young
hopeful's store of knowledge. All her
friends are treated to Jimmy'S reclta-
ton of numbers or ABC'S and his un-
certain stumbling when she PLEADS,
Don't you know who jumped over the
moon, Jimmy? Now, tell mother!
The parrotlike recitation OF words or
numbers which have no personal mean
ing Is not only valueleSS, but sometimes
Injurious to the child. He often learns
things which have no place at all In
our modern systems of education and
which are a waste Of time and effort.
The following letter from young
Mother Is somewhat doubtful Of the
Perhaps you will tell me honestly II
I am doing wrong. My boy Is 3k
years old and give him lots Of sleep
and play and still manage to teach him.
He spells short words like rat and top
and cat, and can tell me the names OF
everything he sees. He listens to his
own heart beat and discovered it for
himself. He says his ABC's and can
count up to 10.
Am / giving him too much for his
age2 I do not force this upon him, but
when he is not busy go over with him
the things he can spell. When he
knows them, tell him that for being
q smart boy I'll teach him another
word"
can't tell you how deplorable I
think this all Is. In the first place we
no longer teach ABC's, but give the
child q whole word to learn. When he
is older, he can pull the words apart
and find that they are made up of
single letters, but what is really helpful
In learning to read is not the considera-
ton Of words in terms of their parts, but
always as q whole.

small stitches, along all four sides one
inch In from the edge. They did each
side separately and knotted the thread
at each end securely. but left ends free,
that is, not fastened to silk by over and
over stitch.
Then they drew up one side at a
time, winding the thread tightly so that
the material was gathered into a little
bunch. They wet the handkerchief and
dipped the sides, one at a time, in
another soap dye. Their favorite COM
bination was pale pink and pale orchid.
After each side had been dipped they
loosened the threads and found the dye
had colored the edges extending up into
the main part in uneven fashion.
When thoroughly dry they pressed the
handkerchief and rolled the edges.
A round thread luncheon cloth was
dyed corn yellow and edged in same
fashion with green. The napkins were
green. All the luncheon sets had rolled
edges.

single handle loosens when given the
full weight of the drawer. 1t Is doing
oneself q personal favor In saving of
time as well as money to avoid such
needless repairing.
The cord by which the electric lamp
or iron is attached can be handled in
such q way as to require expert service
In repairing, not to be found ordinarily
In the home. The person who is hard
on things does not take the extra Few
seconds needed to detach the appliance
properly, but gives a tug at the cord.
No great length of time is required to
have the fine wires within, separated
from their contacts by such abusive
treatment.
Fortunately the habit of mind which
goes with this sort of handling can
be altered in favor of better methods,
and is likely to be when one realizes
the actual cost in dollars into which
such carelessness runs in the course
of time. Likewise, there Is the con-
structive side, that to mend ones ways
Is better economy than to mend ones
belongings--besides being cheaper!
Families of large and lesser means
are frequently generous in the matter
of turning over their used things to
those of less fortune. It Is a great
temptation always to favor those whose
way of handling things is careful. I
have known cases where this was the
criterion, as much as actual need, in
making a choice of two destinations to
which q quantity Of still disable things
were to be sent.

Egg Shampoos.

There're couple Of quite usual, cheap,
homely articles you should learn to
make use of in your beauty treatments.
We shall talk about lemons tomorrow,
but today we talk Of eggs. Just eggs
cold storage, brown, speckled or white,
It doesn't matter. Eggs are wonderful
for all sorts Of beauty treatments.
First, about shampooS. It Is very
hard to shampoo your hair yourself,
unless the water Is soft, the soap of
good quality, and unless you have plenty
Of time and patience. But II you use
an egg before you shampoo your hair,
1t is easy and quick, and the results are
better than those obtained by most pro-
fessionals. All you do is to beat up an
egg little. spread it over the scalp
or Just forgetting 1t for half an hour
while you read or work.. Then rinse
it off, and use liquid soap twice, and
rinse with clear water until the soap
Is out. It's easyl And the hair IS
always soft, fluffy, glossy and clean.
II you Use oil on the hair, the egg
takes II OF for you. II you use henna,
the egg takes this of too, and henna Is
very hard to rinse out. II you have
ing your scalp beautifully soft and
clean.
The white Of egg Is the basis for q
really excellent facial astringent. Per-
sonally, I think 1t Is as good If diluted
with roughly its own amount Of water,
as II 1t Is mixed with lot of fancy
oils, lotions, etc. Spread 1t on the face,
after the skin has been cleansed
thoroughly with cold cream, and let it
dry on. Lie down while it dries, and
take 30 minutes to it. Then wash on,
rub with cream, rub with q little ice
and powder the skin. It will be soft
and smooth, free Of lines, fresh and
pretty again. Indeed, egg In the best
face pack I know Of for eliminating
lines Of age or Of fatigue.
And this sort Of treatment costs al
most nothing.

Is not we'll founded. The glory belongs
to DR.. Emmanuel Hermann OF the Mill
tary Academy Of Vienna, who. In q
letter to the Neue Freie Presse, January
26, 1869, suggested the handy stamped
card. The Austrian post Office on Oc-

The British cards were buff, with o
mauve Grecian border on one side.
The postcard was not adopted in the
United States until 1873. The card
has always proved very popular where
ever introduced. When the first ones
were put on sale in London crowds
struggled in the streets to get early
speciment and 100000 were sold dur
