We regret that our columns are so crowded this week that several good articles have had to be omitted on account of being too lengthy. We make a last attempt to give correct directions for roeeleaf lace: we nave another from Texas, but give the one received first—Editress. L. E. Z—If A. a Belmont, Alabama, will ad dress a private letter to Mrs. E. a Ward, Fre- donfa, Ala., sha will doubtless procure a good Mrs. J. T. B., Pollville, Tenu.—WJU some ono please Inform me thnragh this department what the star Is for, In directions for knitting lace! Kota Bene, Screven county,Ga.—All your subjects love your Kingdom and you, as their ruler, and 1 am rare that the editors of Thr ^Constitution <must enjoy the pleasure they allow their lady readers of exchanging thoughts and experiences. I noticed in yesterday's Kingdom that Katie Lou. of Johnston’s station, Ga., wishes to know what books are best for young girls to reed. I am so glad she has ssked the question, because it gives me the greatest pleasure to say that Mrs. R. D. T, Whitney's writings are the sweetest, healthiest, most charming works 1 know to give to our young girls, both for entertainment and to excite a laudable emulation to become like some of the noble and successful characters portrayed byhur. Beginning with sweet little "Leslie Goldthwalte." ana following her crowd of young friends through the three otbsr books of the series: "The Olrlt," "Other Girls," and "Beal Folks." until the romp ing school girl of "sweet sixteen" "stand iwith reluctant feet where the brook and rivor moot," then In their complete womanhood go forth to preside over their own home circles. When we leave them, it is with the sorrow ws feel when saving goodbye to leng known and well loved friends. Mrs. Whitney has the peculiar talent of making her, a food, sensible woman, bright and attractive, and she thus inspire* her girl readers with an ambition to be noble and good. Mias Al- cott’s "Little Women" should be given to young girls to read, also, as the bright sparkling style of her writing is really fascinating. To excite a very desirable love for solid reading, girls should by ail meana be allowed access to Motley's works. "Tho Conquest of Mexico and or Peru/' etc,, ate very attractive end willl be erne to give much pleasure. pra, and enjoy Talmadge's sermons. BUI Arp and £H5i^5 ftm i Uon And I must say that notwithstanding ail, that I involuntarily torn to the Woman's Kingdom first. I think it adds so much to the intercat of the paper. I am making » b £P k P f th ® recipes and useful information I find in the department. I send the following re cipe for making cake which I think delightful.

R’s plan for crocheting a twine seat for a chair, and think it splendid. Long life to The Cox*ti- TUTicC and Woman’s Kingdom. Groendollnc, Houston, Texas.—Will the King dom accept one more In their charming circle? I have often thought I should like to be one among you. I feel such an interest lu all that concerns women, and the Kingdom is one of the finest of fields, not only to help her temporarily but by the many pure and lofty thoughts to elevate her with hawks, they seem to have a wholesome fear of the white strings* Beat wishes for the contin ued success of Woman’s Kingdom.

Borne of yoar read ers may recollect a thrilling ballad which was written on the death of a woman who perished In the snow drifts of the Green mountain! of Ver mont. That mother bora an infant on her bosom end when the storm walled loud and furious, true to a mother's love, rent her garments and wrapped them arotmo her babe. The morning found her a stiffened corpse, but her babe eurvived. The babe grew to manhood and became the speaker of the Ohio senate. How thrilling most be his thoughts of that mother, if he be a true large hearted mau. Ob, how deep a mother’s love. How many a mother is there who would die for her sod whon ferawsr from home? on the land or on the sea, When the eyes of no mother is upon them remem ber her, love and be restrained by It from entering in the paths of vice. Let them say nothing, do nothing which a mother would not approve, and they will never bring her gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. Mrs. L. E.
