Don't sneer if they venture a suggestion, but treat It with respect no matter how crude or impractical it may appear, for it must In time create an Interest that will lead t higher do vclopements. Let them feel that you aro interested in them, and otso that In which they aro all interested that' you are doing all for them. your means and health will permit by providing first for tho necessities of life, and second for the little luxuries that go so far toward binding tho young to a home which is naturally dear to them.

Since there are so many thing, u girl can do why should she not he self supporting? It would he a satisfaction to feel equip ped for an emergency. There is ono trade t licit every girl should graduate In, and she need not necessarily go allv , Kp,.n( K,.rnl sums of money to acquire It, nnd that Is housekeeping. Whatever your nee. m plishments may be, and I sincerely hope they are many, this Is the fundamental one on which our happiest nnd most successful homes aro builded. To be a perfect housekeeper is not only a trade, but an art. To cook, to bake, to broil, laundry and so, dairy and garden and a ht of other things, which, when in dulged in hy men, each form a profes sion, yet tho ordinary woman Is expect ed to bo perfect in all. Wht n we con sider all these things It's no wonder girls prefer a position to that of house keeping. But I am somewhat of a fogy at my age and I will try to keep my girls at borne, if my brother farmer will keep his hoys ut home. Escaped an Awful Death. Mrs. H.
