like a paradox to say that girls should 
be taught to love the little ones, when 
it is but obeying the instinct of woman¬ 
hood. But there is a real danger that, 
in our bounding joy to find life so full 
and free, and so many avenues open to 
us, we seek to evade the responsibili¬ 
ties that appertain to our privileges. I 
said to a woman whose voice had prom¬ 
ised fame and fortune, “ Perhaps your 
girls may be what you hoped to become.” 
“ I want to be something myself,” was 
the reply. Tell me whether the mother 
of four bright, interesting daughters 
could win any higher meed. Will not 
her influence go on and on through all 
the ages ? patience strong. 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc¬ 
tions for cutting the garment and put¬ 
ting together. 
Ladies’ Dressing Sacque. 
The dainty jacket here pictured is 
made of pink and pale green figured 
soft silk, with a broad yoke collar of 
batiste and insertion, edged with a deep 
frill of lace. A standing collar finishes 
the neck, which is decorated in front

with a bow of narrow ribbon. Pattern 
No. 6579 is cut in six sizes—for 32, 34, 36, 
38, 40 and 42 inches bust measure. 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
The Ladder of Success.— One cannot 
achieve the top round first ! Success in 
life is like climbing a ladder, with a 
clear head and steady hand, and a will 
to hold on, one may go, slowly perhaps, 
but surely from the foot to the top with¬ 
out serious jostling. But the careless 
person who “lets go” at every sound, 
or looks down when he ought to look up, 
is likely to find that he has missed his 
footing and fallen down outside or 
through the spaced, and is very lucky if 
he can catch hold again and save him¬ 
self without striking with full force on 
the ground. So with those whose am¬ 
bition is greater than their judgment, 
and who try to skip one or two steps in 
the upward struggle, and therefore, 
come to the ground, with more force 
than satisfaction. What a pity to see 
brilliant talents or glimpses of talent 
suffering because of an unfortunate 
facility for letting go, for lack of ability 
to hold on, even though the culture may 
be slow, the work hard and the pay 
small. KEZIAH 81IELT0N. 
The Care of Clothes. —It is not wear 
that makes your best gown look shabby 
in a couple of months, says the Home 
Queen. It is lack of care when it is off 
your back. If you fold it up or hang it, 
ten to one you do it badly. Ilang all 
your dress waists and skirts, but sus¬ 
pend them on “ coat hangers,” not on 
hooks or nails. The way shopkeepers 
care for ready-made garments is an ex¬ 
cellent object lesson. If you can’t get 
the ready-made article, manufacture it. 
Half a barrel hoop, with a loop of string 
in the middle, makes a satisfactory sub¬ 
stitute. Hanging serves only for heavy 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low's Soothing Syrup” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
fabrics, not when they are of thin goods. 
In that case, garments are likely to be¬ 
come stringy. Light materials must be 
folded, sleeves and bows stuffed out 
with tissue paper, and all given plenty 
of room. Skirts should be brushed 
when taken off and then put away at 
once. It is tumbling about on chairs, 
waiting to be disposed of, that ruins 
quantities of clothes. 
PEN POTPOURRI. 
Fair woman ever was the height 
To which rude man must soar— 
His guiding-star, his beacon-light, 
As has been said before. 
Alas ! his race is never through, 
He stands but little chance; 
How can poor man catch up, if you 
Continue to advance ? Credit Lost. 
-Edna Lyall : “ In the average man 
there is still a dreadful amount of East¬ 
ern feeling with regard to women.” 
... . Luther : “ Who waits until circum¬ 
stances completely favor his undertak¬ 
ing, will never accomplish anything.” 
....Phillips Brooks; “Patience and 
strength are what we need ; an earnest 
use of what we have now ; and all the 
time an earnest discontent until we 
come to what we ought to be.” 
....President of Leland Stanford 
University in N. Y. Ledger: “Itseems 
to me that the annex system cannot be 
a permanent one. The annex student 
does not get the best of the institution, 
and the best is none too good for her. 
Sooner or later she will demand it, or go 
where the best can be found. The best 
students will cease to go to the annex. 
The institution must then admit women 
on equal terms, or not admit them at all 
There is certainly no educational rea¬ 
son why women should prefer the annex 
of one institution if another institution 
equally good throws its doors wide open 
for her.”
