"If the parenti of a -rough diamond I could only realise the handicap they pla"ce Tn their child, by starting him out 'into the world without polishing him as much as possible.

YARKYN7. M. I. I wish these words, by one of Ameri ca's most gifted and distinguished phy sicians and metaphysicians, could be written in , letters of gold and bung where every mother and teacher in the land-might read them dally. . . Women are pushing forward their claims for higher recognition every where and every day; and women are succeeding in almost all the arts, pro fessions '-and .trades formerly pursued by wen" exclusively; yet women are al most universally " falling to be the best mothers;' , possible. You; vho read .these words may take exception tOiSUoh a statement. Yet. em ploy your leisure "hours the next week in looking about you' critically and dis passionately for a really perfect, or oven .''nea perfect; mother of boys and girls i mat emoryo age, irom 8 to U years. It .is during that period children show forth the "training and teaching which has come to them from close association with their mothers. To again quote from Dr. Parky n: . "There are great possibilities In a new . wooden barrel, provided it Is empty. It Is" very easy to fill it with syrup or kerosene, or any other liquid. But If a I barrel to be filled first with kerosene it Is very difficult to so completely get rid of I its impressions on the barrel that the 'barrel can be used afterward for syrup, the barrel, as it were, having formed an auto-suggestion which is bard to over come. "A young child's mind is very much like a barrel, so far as its first impres sions are concerned.- Us mind Is an empty thing, waiting to be fillod with any kind of impressions, and the impres sions of childhood are by far the most lasting. "Childhood is the most favorable time to develop the little habits we carry through life, and the Importance of giving attention to these little habits fan not be too strongly impressed upon th minds of parents ef young children. So many parents believe that If they teach their children what Is right and wrong, from a moral and ethical point of view, clothe them and send them to school, they have done all .tlat Is required of them, and that-the children will do the rest them selves and make a success in life." Mothers of culture and education ere to be found all about us who have al lowed their little sons to pass through the formative period of .childhood without one distinguishing trait or habit of re fined, considerate manhood, and who con sider the brufqueness and boorish de portment of their offspring as natural phases of boyhood, which will ' be event ually outgrown. In America children are allowed to occupy an unnatural position In the home' and are permitted to demand favors of their elders, where foreign chil dren gently request; to dispute, and flatly contradict, where others would onty.ques tlon or remain silent and -to sit tn the presence of their parents and grandpar ents without waiting for permission or observing whether anyone Is discommoded by their conduct. i. Mothers permit their Httle eons to in terrupt conversation; to enter a room noisily, without removing their hats; to be first at the table, without showing tne courtesy of seating the mother or slate or giieat, and to air their Ideas and opin ions aggressively In the presence of older people. The very greatest work a woman can do on earth is to guide and train the mind and manners of a little child Into gentteness, kindliness, . courtesy, consid eration, politeness, respect and reverence for whatever is. great and good, and to teach the embryo man or woman those small refinements of deportment which mean so much In life. No matter what other work a mother may be doing :n the world, If she Is neglecting this work, which is the work God has given he.-, she is miserably failing as an Individual and a citiien, as well as a mother. However bright a boy ' may be In his lessons, however he may excel in the athletic field, he is not growing Into ad mirable and excellent manhood unless he is receiving the delicate and gracloue touches of education, which a mother should consider It her great privilege to give. But this cannot be given In a day or a year. It must be done day by day and year by year, unobtrusively and tact fully, until the child has absorbed the wholesome and refining system uncon sciously. And we do not find one Amer ican mother In a hundred who Is unselfish and patient enough to bestow so much time and thought on the profession of scientific motherhood.- QtmLlMtM DC SEATED wmdo-mi&th John sow CAN you TCLl, ME WHy MAN WHO Mf??l55 A W0r1A.N fOKTY YEATfS OF file 5 UKevcro succeed iNTERUOCUTO- Cfltii I TELL You WHY Who lARRltS I .WOMAN FORTY Y&HRS OF Ate. $ LIKELY to succeep no tamoo WHY 13 HS-L4KBL.Y TO SUCCEED?

By DOKOTHV JARDOX. I am too bashful to make any real claim to great beauty,; and while I am very very much flattered to be put In thm series, I am afraid that I have no Secrets of beauty,; and no rnaglc' formulas, cr creams, to enhance my looks, but, like every girl In her right mind. , I want to. look as pretty as puasibie, and there are lots of little ways and tricks which make one ' appear more attractive than one really Is. This may be deceitful, but, anj'how. It's feminine, and I know that every otner trlrl will eVmpathlte with me In the desire to "pretty - up," and perhaps spme of them will profit by my suggestions. When I am dressing to go out I al ways remember that the front view of myself which I get In the mirror Is the best, because I have taken the most pains with that, but that there i also a back view, a view of yellowish neck and straggling hair, of a collar that mlg-ht be cleaner, or a veil that Is torn, and when I think of all the bolte that don't connect, my hand instinctively goes to my own waist line. A great many people talk against paint and - powder, and I suppose everybody agrees that young girls jfhould not use make-up of any kind. Of course, whn you are on the stage, 'you got rather hardened to that eort of thing, though in general actresses are thankful to clean the paint off their face, and I don't think they use as much paint on the street a do the people who never saw the foot lights except from the 12 side. My strong objection to using powder on the 8tre Is that one never gets it on right. - Going to rehearsal this morning, 1 counted the number of faces that were badly powdered, with perfectly evident traces of badly applied make-up. There were forty-five in two blocks. When a woman get! to a certain age I suppose she may do as ahe likes, but glds wouldn't use heavy whltcwast on their faces If they knew how much older they looked, and how drawn and dry the skin appears under the coating of powder. If one is going to use powder, however, there should be a law making every woman put on her powder by a very strong light, and be sure and powder the V I. l . k. - ,. - . - ' na Denina tne eur4 quite as religiously as the nose and chin. - The only way you can be sure the back of your neck is quite the same color as the front of It is by using alcohol on It after you have bathed in the morning. Keeping the neck clean Is a trick which even very clean persons sometimes forget. Now that we are wearing one-piece dresses we don't see eo many gaping belt lines and safety pine. But not every girl has caught the trick of wearing her clothes as If they were comfortable, rnd I think that Is a neceirsary factor ,'n the art of looking pretty. They tell me at the Long Branch Horse show that the display of clothes was per fectly . gorgeous, but that mo of the boxes were empty because the girls couldn't sit down. Now, I can't imagine that ' these beatlfiilly dressed people looked comfortable or serene, and I think that frocks which .make one physically uncomfortable detract immensely from one's looks, no matter how pretty they may be. Lots of girls have the trick of fussing constantly with their heir or running their fingers over their faces, fumbllnB their chins or generally feeling to- eee If s Yytri -.: fr---' ,? r V -.. e a m ....

This Is love: not Hie love- of the take-it-for-itrnriterl, connubial kind not the lukewarm, nillk-nnd-water af fection but reel love of the ltr,r h il r n I n bollng-over sort; the love that expresses ltelf In ardent glances, and wrecks the tilcllomiry !n (Olnlng termn of endearment, and .that clings o the hand of the be loved 'one like j a 'drowning man to a straw.

Thla Is one of the common complaints of women, and It Is one of thf tragedies of life that so many wives sit at their husbands' feet begplng for a word of nfiwtinn hi a don bes for a bone anil that thr men are too Indifferent to give it to them. Yet the bestowal or with holding of a term of endearment and a little praise mark the difference between happlneKs and misery for a woman and make marrlagu a failure or success for her.
