a daughter. Thus thero is no holr to
the lmmoDBO Grosvenor fortune, Earl
Qrosvenor, tho duchess' second child
having died at ifengo of four.
Apropos of alfitlils, a rather cruet
story Is being told In Nowport about
Lady Ursula, Grosvenor, the eight-year-old
daughter of tho young
duchess.
A friend, tho story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat in th
drawing-room, little. Lady Ursula en
tered. "Oh, good afternoon," she Bald
gravely. "Mamma can't see any ono
today. She's upstairs with the new
baby. They sent her. you know, a girt
when sho'd ordered a boy, and sho'a
so upset that sho's Quito ill."
Talking to the Child.
"Mrs. X talks to little Made -
Just as Mr. X talks to- their dor."
said a llttlo girl of a neighboring fam
ily. And it was Indeed truo. Mrs.
X Is a very well-meaning womaa
and would bo greatly surprised If h
should hear the foregoing statement.
She has simply unconsciously acquired
a harsh tono of volco In dealing with
her children. This 1b altogether ut
necessary and is not, as many moth
ers seem to think, a mark of good dis
cipline. The mother whose manver Is
quiet but firm la generally a much
moro successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-voiced mother wlo issues
her commands in a dictatorial manner.
Kindness never spoils children. U la
flabby Indecision, sometimes mistakes
for kindness, which sp-II them.

tho kitchen window, and blew tht
