L. H.
Society at the present day de
mands that girls shall be what
thev call acaomplished, and to
fulfdl this demand the mothers of
Christendom teach their daugh
ters that a knowledge of all that
belong to life’s duties at home is
not one of the requirements, that
manuel labor must be consonant
with drawing room cultivation.
And so their lily hands slip idly
over the piano keys, they waltz
in the most approved style, sim
per a little French or German,
quote poetry—and society says
they are accomplished. Doubt
less they are, and by-and by, as
all modern fashionables do, they
win a husband.
It wou|d be difficult *o find a

at [a dinner table. “Oh, yes,
this is delicious, but I did love

or even worse. ‘But did you ever

such a wonderful cook. They

as chi'dren stand a pretty good chance of going through life
without it, because they haven’t the background against which
to build happiness out of the things that come to them later
in life.
A great many people are selfish in their gnef as well as
their joy. Often when we lose a loved one we wrap our
selves in an impenetrable curtain of gloom thru which no ray
of cheer can enter. Thinking not at all of the duty we owe
the living, we indulge our feelings in the luxury of unres
trained grief until those who would sympathize [with us be
come tired and disgusted. Such a grieving member of a
household certainly does not give it a healthy and happy at
mosphere, and during this period, you may lose the confi
dence and respect of some-member which it has taken years
to build up.
An example of unselfishness in tins regard came to our
attention not long ago. A mariied woman with children
lost her mother, and they had been devoted companions.
But to go into that home a few days later, you would not
have known that the shadow of death had entered, for every
one seemed as cheerful and as happy as before. In a tew
weeks the woman was going about with her husband just as
usual. She was rather severly consored by a few who could
not understand her unselfish motives. Someone said they
were surprised because she had seeme 1 to care so much for
her mother. She had cared aUr and she was fighting a bat
tle every minute of the day not to give way to her sorrow.
She realized that her duty was toward her husband and child
ren and that unrestrained gnei on her part would only bring
distress to those she loved most, and do no one any good.
Money you earn yourself is much brighter than any you
get out of dead men’s bags.
Sometimes one sees a child that is unusually attractive and
upon making a remark to that effect to the mother she will
simper and smile and say, ‘Yes, but she is just spoilt to death’
She will laugh about it as if it were something to be proud
of. A spoiled child is a very sorry little creature, because
she has to get that out of her makeup or lead a very sorry
existence, A great many children are spoiled i'ntil they
leave home and go out “on their own.” Then it is knocked
out of them, but it is very hard for them to get themselves
adjusted to things as they find them. Those who do not get
it knocked out of them will always be failures, so it is a pret
ty hard pioposition for the child either way. 1 arents should
take every precaution against spoiling theit children or let
ting others do it, for it will only lead to their great unhappi
ness later on.
