cur very often, and- that you know she
did tho very beat that a dear little wife
eould under1 tho circumstances. And
when the meal is eaten, and you are
on your way out of the dining room,
just give 'her a nice little hug and a
kiss, and tell her she is "the dearest
little wife in tho world."
If that don't convince her of the di
vinity of your origin, I don't know
what will.
Importance of Health.
Did it ever occur to you, dear girls,
that you have many lessons to learn,
outside of tho school room?
One very important one is, that, no
matter what else you may have, if
you have not health, life will be very
miserable to you. In order to enjoy
and use the possession tof character
and mind, this one thing is needed
more than all else. Tho question is
discussed about you. and you probably
'read books on physiology and hygiene,
but do you give tho subject one real,
rearnest thought?
It is not necessary that you know
ihow many bones, muscles, nerves go to
make up your wonderful body, but it is
imperatively needful that you realize
how much of your comfort and happi
ness, as well as the comfort and hap
piness of those interested in you, are
dependent upon your understanding
and practical application of a few sim
ple principles as to the care of your
physical health. You cannot violate
nature's law ever so little, without
being held strictly to account for it.
iSho may not at once de'mand reprisal,
"but she keeps a carefully balanced ac
count An overtax of your young
strength now, will be to settle for here
after: an abuse of your stomach, a
feckless exposure to cold, a careless
disregard of hygienic demands, must
"nil bo naM for. sooner or later.
"Whether physically or mentally, work
'with earnestness -and purpose while
you do work, but you must have your
hours of recreation, too. Make it an
aim to keep health if you have it not,
to get it.
, To each and all of us comes a time
When there will "be a demand for re
serve force, for a taxing of our every
day endurance, .and if we have health,
the demand can readily be met; but
without it, we fail in the hour.igf our
.greatest need.
Do npt underrate health and comfort
when dressing for -appearances; one
never appears well if in pain. There
is much that you must learn of your
mother, or some other trusted friend.
Do not allow any false -modesty to
stand between you and these import
ant lessons. Do not forget that ignor
ance will not excuse you the penalty
for broken law must bo paid.
Many will say: "I would willingly
die for my loved ones;" but it is better
that you live for them to have the
vitality to care for them; to partake
of their joys, to comfort them in sor
row. This you cannot do unless you
have health.
Choosing: Associates.
Girls, make it a rule to demand of
men the same purity of character that
you do of your own sex. Pardon noth
ing in a man that is unpardonable in a
woman. Have nothing to do with a
dissolute young man. Remember, it
is character, not money, or acceptance
in society that fits a man to be your
associate. If you would keep your
young brother in the paths of honor,
do not make him feel that your stand
ard is a low one that you accept as an
associate and friend one guilty of the
very vices against which you warn
him.
Remember that familiarity of touch

or speech from a man is an unpardon
able affront to your womanhood, and
that modesty is tho most attractive of
all Qualities. Do not invito familiar
ity by loud talking or laughing in pub-'
lie places. Respect yourselves, and
conduct yourselves always in such a
manner as to command tho respect of
others.
Do not, under any circumstances, al
low yourself to bo led into questionable
resorts, or to be found with questiona
ble associates, even of your own sex.
All agreeable women are not good
women, neither aro all women safe
companions for innocent girls. A
woman past her youth, or one who is
married, may often do things with
s oming safety that, if a young girl
should attempt ' them, would get her
into sad trouble. Ono cannot be too
careful of her associations and associates.
Where Heaven Is.
Wo often hear people speaking of
"going to heaven," as though to a
certain geographical locality. They
have no warrant for such an idea;
the expression does not occur in the
Bible. Heaven is not so much a fixed
locality as it is a spiritual condition.
Heaven, to tho true child of God, is
here. If the heart and mind are right
in the sight of God, heaven is with us,
within us and about us. If the heart
and mind are wrong, heaven is indeed
far from us.
A dear old friend used to say:
"Health is heaven; not only a health
physical, but a health mental and
spiritual. Sickness only is sin. A
healthy person Is always a happy one."
Paul cared little for earthly honors
or worldly reward, but "in spirit," ho
was with Christ in glory; in the New
Jerusalem; in the presence of God;
in association with the redeemed; en
joying a new heaven and a new earth.
Little Helps.
A good cold cream is made as fol
lows: Beat up one ounce of pure
while vaseline with ono ounce of rose
water; let stand for a short time. In
another dish, beat well together half
an ounce of best lanoline, and twenty
drops of simple tincture of benzoin;
add to this the vaseline and rosewater
and beat all until it appears soft and
creamy. Rub a little into tho skin ev
ery night after washing, to keep the
skin beautifully soft
0 O
A quick rubbing all over the body
with a rough towel, a flesh brush, or
horse-hair gloves, is an excellent thing
to do just before going to bed, as it
quickens the circulation and often In
duces quiet sleep, but this should
never be done in a room where the
temperature is so low as to suddenly
chill the body when tho clothing is re
moved. 0 O
Mothers should see that their little
ones do not go to bed with cold or
damp feet Rubbing the feet thorough
ly with a coarse, rough towel before
lying down is better than applying
heated articles, as the rubbing bring3
the heat' from within, by arousing cir
culation. A child should not be al
lowed to sleep in bed "socks, as theso
will impede circulation, or prevent ex
halation of moisture and the feet will
remain cold.

Dissolved soap is made by finely
shredding a quarter of a pound of soap

To Renovate Wjndow Shades.
In careful, painstaking hands, a
linen or holland shade can be made to
look like new. If it Is white, or cream
colored, with fringe or lace" edging,
they can bo colored. Rip .off tht
fringe and remove tho shade from the
roller to which it is tacked; remove
also the stick at -tho bottom; -wipe
clean with a damp cloth. Spread tho
shade out on the attic floor, or in
some room not much used.
Have a good, new brush and a can
of ready-mixed paint the shade wanted
and paint one side with a thin coat
Let dry throughly, and treat tho
other side theMqaho way. When both
sides are thoroyhly dry, tack on tho
roller, turning the lower edge to tho
top. If the bottom has become ragged,
or frayed, cut it off neatly. On the
bottom edge formerly the top turn
up an inch of the blind and stitch a
hem through which to run the little
slat; clean tho fringe or lace, and color
it with diamond dyo to match color of
the shade. Sew it on with the sewing
machine, Insert the slat, and your cur
tain is ready.
A convenient way to put up the
shade Is to fasten the littlo brackets
holding the-roller onto a neatly dressed
and painted lath and tacking this to
the window frame, they can then b&
removed, or adjusted to' narrow or
wide windows with littlo trouble. Efc.
