This picture is always with her daugh ter, and it has served to idealize that hard, seamed face and the worn, scar red hands that have been grave-dust for many years. Do we npt owe it to our children to be as pretty, as possible? We may not have a feature that the world would call beautiful, but the little eyes see deeper than anyone elso, and children all love pretty things. A mother should keep herself as wel,l and as neatly dressed as her means will allow, and especially should this be the case when you put yourself in a position to be compared with other mothers. The children love to see mamma "look pretty," and your daintiness is an added joy to them if noticed by others. A bright ribbon in pne's hair will be a perfect delight to tho little eyes, and a touch of daintiness about the neck or hands will idealize you to them as nothing ,elso can.

In taking a note or other obligation from a person who can not sign his name, he should be requested to make his mark. In this case, any person may write the name, but the person who gives the note must make the mark, and in the pres ence of a disinterested person, one or more, who must sign the do'curhent as witness.

A plain gored skirt that is too tight around the hips may bo widened by opening tho seam of each gore and putting In a band or strip of hercules braid and allowing it to continue down the seam to within four inches from the bottom of the skirt, finishing it off with blunt points or scroll designs. Many a growing girl has one hip much higher than the other, and 'the home dressmaker finds it difficult to make a skirt look well. In such cases, first pin the skirt around the hips about six inches below the waist-line, drawing the side up over the highest hip until it hangs smoothly all around; then trim off evenly with the waist line, and take in all seams until the skirt fits .smooth and even over the hips and waist. Eaise the two outer folds of the inverted plait in the back a quarter of an Inch above tho waist line, make the fold hang well toward the back seam, and finish by making tho bottom of the skirt even. A long gored skirt may be shortened to fit the younger girl by turning into wldo tucks the undesirable extra length. Begin the tucks about nine or ten inches from the bottom of tho skirt; tho little extra under fullness tnat necessarily must come In turn ing up the tuck should bo lelt and will not hurt the appearance of the skirt when the tuck .is pressed and finished.

Do not talk about it beforehand, but get it ready and have it over as quickly as you can. Children are sometimes" kept in a state of perpetual .dread and worry by being continually reminded that there Is medicine to do taken. The medicine, and everything connected with it should be kept out of sight and mind of the child until it Ib xeady to bo ad ministered. The sick room should be made as cheerful and attractive as possible, and it is positively cruel to keep telling the patient that it is "look ing bad." Suggestion is more than a fad, and as mind acts on mattei, It is as well to allow it to act favorable to recovery by suggesting in every way possible that the child or adult is well on the way to regained health. It is certainly a mistaken kindness to in dulge a child in the idea that it Is very ill. Rcquostod Roclpos White Cookies.
