effaces herself too much in her mistaken 
devotion. 
I am glad woman is awaking to the 
fact that she has an individuality of 
her own : that her responsibilities are 
broader than getting and saving, and 
that she can serve her dear ones best by 
trying to make the very best of herself.

6394. Ladies’ Cape. 
This stylish cape is of satin, trimmed 
with black passementerie, edged with 
soft feather ruching. A full, triple box- 
plaited ruching of black chiffon, sprin¬ 
kled through with violets, is worn around 
the neck outside the flaring collar, twin 
bunches of violets decorating each front. 
The standing collar may be omitted in 
favor of the ruching of chiffon now so 
fashionable. Capes in this style may be 
made to match or to contrast with the 
costume. The cape is cut in five sizes : 
32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inches, bust measure. 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
The Right Education. —How well 
shall our daughters be educated? Just 
as well as our means will allow, and if 
they do not make the most of it, it will 
not be our fault. Their training has 
been defective, if in any way it makes 
them unfit for every-day, practical life ; 
if their literary tastes have not been 
6394—LADIES’ CAPE 
cultivated,and their enjoyments doubled, 
then the opportunities for culture have 
been wasted on poor material. People 
often speak of an education in a way 
which implies that there is danger of 
knowing too much. We should be afraid 
of the shallow, not the thorough educa¬ 
tion. AUNT RACHEL. 
The Question of Wages. —“The rights 
of woman to employment and the justice 
of her claim to the same pay for the 
same work as men,cannot be questioned,” 
says the Chautauquan, “if she can de¬ 
monstrate her competency. The busi¬ 
ness world is fast coming to the conclu¬ 
sion that in very many cases a man is 
not superior to a woman because he is 
a man. The single standard of ability 
is coming more and more into general 
use. It is wellnigh a heartless law which 
causes a man, with a family dependent 
upon him for support, to compete with a 
young woman whose capability is quite 
as good, and whose wants it requires less 
to satisfy ; but it is one of the natural 
developments of social evolution to which 
society must gradually adjust itself.” 
When We are Failures. —We have 
heard often enough the pros and cons of 
marriage as a failure. But H. II. Boye- 
sen, in the North American Review, 
paints the dismal failure—the failure to 
marry: “It was clearly meant that all 
men, as well as all women, should marry; 
and those who, for whatever reason, 
miss this obvious destiny are, from na¬ 
ture’s point of view, failures. It is not 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best. — Adv. 
a question of personal felicity (which in 
eight cases out of ten may be more than 
problematic), but of race responsibility. 
The unmarried man is a skulker, who, 
in order to secure his own ease, dooms 
some woman who has a rightful claim 
upon him, to celibacy ; and in so doing 
he defrauds himself of the opportuni¬ 
ties for mental and moral development 
which only the normal experience can 
provide. He deliberately stunts the 
stature of his manhood, impoverishes 
his heart and brain, and chokes up all 
the sweetest potentialities of his soul. 
To himself he is apt to appear like the 
wise fox that detects the trap, though 
it be ever so cunningly baited ; that re¬ 
fuses to surrender his liberty for the 
sake of an appetizing chicken or rabbit, 
which may after all be a decoy, stuffed 
with sawdust; while, as a matter of 
fact, his case is that of the cowardly 
servant in the parable, who for fear of 
losing his talent, hid it in a napkin, and 
in the end was deemed unworthy of his 
stewardship.” 
Minute Pudding. —I wonder if I have 
not found out a better way to make this 
quick pudding, than many know, or than 
the old way by using milk. I was always 
worried about its scorching before it 
came to the required boiling point. I 
now use water—a quart for a small pud¬ 
ding—with a teaspoonful of salt and half 
teaspoonful of baking powder. When the 
water begins to bubble, I stir in flour 
until it is as thick as mush. For sauce, I 
use sweetened cream, or even milk if the 
cream is not to be had, and it is relished 
very much for a change from the inevit¬ 
able pie. I wonder that it is not more 
often made ; it is so easily and quickly 
prepared. 
I must tell, also, of a sour cream sauce 
that I ate not long since, prepared by a 
young housekeeper—her first attempt. It 
was simply delicious. 1 told her so, as 
I believe in speaking words of praise 
when they are due, and leaving the oppo¬ 
site unsaid. To a cupful of thick, sour 
cream (if too thick to beat well, add a 
little milk), add a cupful of sugar ; beat 
until it foams. To have good results, 
the cream must be cold, and kept in a 
cool place until the meal is ready.

A Good Object Lesson. —In this prac¬ 
tical age, an illustration of the workings 
of truthfulness will often help a child 
more than any amount of exhortation 
concerning the theory thereof, says 
Frances E. Willard. For instance, a 
father in that level-headed part of the 
United States known as “out West” 
found that his little boy was falling into 
the habit of telling what was not true, 
so he said to him at the lunch table : 
“Johnnie, I will come around with a 
horse and carriage at 4 o’clock and take 
you and mamma for a drive this after¬ 
noon.” 
The boy was in high spirits, and 
watched for his father at the gate, but 
the hours passed by until 6-o’clock dinner¬ 
time, when that worthy appeared walk¬ 
ing up the street in the most uncon¬ 
cerned manner. And when Johnnie, full 
of indignation and astonishment, asked 
him why he did not come as he had 
promised, the father said : “ Oh, my 
boy, I just took it into my head that I 
would tell you a lie about the matter 
just as you have begun telling lies 
to me.” 
The boy began to cry with mingled 
disappointment and shame to think that 
his father would do a thing like that, 
whereupon the father took the little fel¬ 
low upon his knee and said : “ This has 
all been done to show you what mischief 
comes from telling what is not true. It 
spoils everybody’s good time. If you 
cannot believe what 1 say* I cannot be¬ 
lieve what you say, and nobody can be¬ 
lieve what anybody says, then the world 
cannot go on at all ; it would have to 
stop, as the old eight-day clock did the 
other day, making us all late to dinner. 
It is only because, as a rule, we can be¬ 
lieve in each other’s word, that we are 
able to have homes, do business and enjoy 
life. Whoever goes straight on telling 
the truth, helps more by that than he 
could in any other way to build up the 
world into a beautiful and happy place ; 
and every time anybody tells what is not 
true, he helps to weaken everybody’s con¬ 
fidence in everybody else, and to spoil 
the good time, not of himself alone, but 
of all those about him.” 
PRINTED PATCHWORK. 
A good-bye kiss is a little thing. 
With your hand on the door to go, 
But it takes the venom out of the sting 
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling 
That you made an hour ago. — Anon. 
... .N. Y. World : “ One dyspeptic stom¬ 
ach can sour a whole family.” 
....George Eliot: “ No evil dooms us 
hopelessly, except the evil we love and 
desire to continue in, and make no effort 
to escape from.” 
... .Polly Pry in New York Recorder : 
“ There is no act of legislature needed 
to prevent water from flowing up the 
mountainside. It has never shown a 
disposition for that uphill work; so there 
should be no law against a woman doing 
anything she can do, and none is needed 
to prevent her from doing what she can¬ 
not.”
