Tecently- asking my help In the -solution of questions of vital importance to the welfare of little children, one of -which brought an ache to- my Jreart and &ara , o my eyes. This letter comes from a girl -who is almost distraught with perplexity and sorrow a. girl who stands In full sight of two conflicting- duties, knowing- not which one it is" right for her to perform? "Do you think- a child should remain. dutiful to her parents when the parents are not leading good llvesT she writes, Tor Instance, the father drinks to excess, giving very little money to his home, In addition to which his manner Is most cruel to hts family. Mothef is following hU example, and very often has to go to the hospital. The Pity of It. "There would be no question In my mind of my duty were I considering myself only, but the pity of it Is that I have a nine-year-old brother and a little- sister of seven. "I haie a good position, and could take them to a friend's to board, but the thing which troubles me is my par ents, whom. I thick. I have almost ceased to Ioie Would I have to con tinue to contribute to their support? A minister of the Gospel once told me that we owe so much to our parents that even when they disgrace us -we should bear with them, and. If neces sary, support them. "And so, Mrs Manx, I come to you for advice, because you have so often helped m before. I feel sure that you can say something to throw a light of understanding along my troubled way." SIMPLE WAY TO TEST THE QUALITY OF MILK WE BUY Here Is a very simple way In which to test the quality of the nillk you buy. First etlr the milk with a spoon. In -order to disseminate Into the whole liquid the cream which may hate come to-the surface. Then one volume of milk Is poured Into fifty elumes of water one fluid ounce to two and a half pints. A candie Is lighted In a dark room. Take an ordinary drinking glass with a tolerably flat and eten bottom and bold It right a bote the candle at a distance of about one foot from It. so as to be able to see the flame of the candle through the bottom of the glass. Then pour slowly the diluted milk Into the glass. The flame becomes less bright as the let el of the liquid rises Into the glass. The flame Is soon reduced to a dull white spot. A little more liquid, slowly added, so as to aold pouring an ex cess, and the flame becomes absolutely Invisible All that remains to be done is to measure the height of the liquid In the glass, this being most conveniently ascertained by dipping Into It a strip of RUGS WILL LAST TWICE AS LONG IF GIVEN CARE No matter what the size or quality of a rug. it is a mistake, to shake It by the end to beat it free from dust. The force required to grasp It securely and the sharp snap and Jerks are ruinous to the binding and fringe. A rug sometimes becomes badly creased. To remedy this turn it upside down and wet the crease with a mois tened broom until the rug Is quite wet. Stretch the rug tight and. let It remain overnight after tacking It with tinned tacks, which do not rust. Here is a good way to clean carpets without taking them up it will also clean rugs thoroughly: Sprinkle them generously with yellow cornmeal that baa been well dampened In weak ammonia water Sweep off In a few minutes and you -will be surprised to see the clean and bright appearance of your carpet and ruga Should you accidentally spill oil or soot on your carpet, you can extract all the oil by cohering the" spot with buckwheat flour, allowing it tp remain several hours before sweeping. Repeat again If not all removed by first application. To get rid of the soot, you will need to spread some coarse salt thickly over the spot- MOST PRACTICAL METHOD OF CURTAINING BEDROOMS Since fresh air at night has become Imperative, the right way to curtain a bedroom must be studied. Every window must be raised at top and bottom, which is better for lungs and complexion than for hangings. The specialist advises no curtains; so will most men. who rarely like Uje dainty draperies -dear to women. Few house keepers agree,, with this, even the health fanatic Nothing furnishes a room like fresh white curtains: besides, the pub licity of the uncurtained room Is objec tionable, not to mention the bare look of the outside of a house. The woman -who believes In fresh air nevtr hangs at her bedroom windows curtains that cannot be laundered easily or that are ruined by dampness. Win dows up the year around soon work havoc on delicate lace or colored cur tains. Homely, Yet Admired and Envied; Her Secret The convention crowd In the lobby made a path for her, cast admiring side glances, then, with longing eyes, .fol lowed her to the elevator. It was at the Ponchartraln. In Detroit The incident was recalled when I chanced to sit across table from the woman. TVhat was it about her that caused all that commotion? She -wasn't handsome; she was lacking in form and feature. Yet she did seem marvelously fascinating. Her complexion must bu the secret. Really. I've neier beheld Its equal. Venturing to pick up acquaintanceship, I learned the reason. "I know I'm not built for beauty." she confided, "but I've tried to make the most of my one charm. I've learned that men -abhor make-ups and artificial ity. I bar cosmetics; there are just two things I ever use and they promote natural loneliness and youthful appear ance. "When my complexion begins "to age, I get an ounce of mercoUsed wax -at the drug store, apply at night like cold cream, and wash it off in the morning. This gradually Cakes off the outer skin; then I have a brand-new complexion, magnetically beautiful, as you see. "Wrinkles never bother me. At their inception I "bathe my face In a solution TO PARENTS BE A VIRTUE In my eyes there Is but one path for this dear girl who la so unfortunately 'placed. Obligations to the parents they long' since forfeited. The one great duty left is to the two little children who stand absolutely no chance of the proper equipment for the future meeting of their ,owBllfeulutles IT they remain In their present environment. All honor and all courage to the sweet, brave girl whose heart has already been stirred by the criminal Injustice to her little brother, and sister to pray for the light of .knowledge; by which to -see the path of her real- duty. " Ceases to Be a Virtue. , "Honor thy father aid thy mother" ceases to be -the duty of any child -when the parents refuse to give respect to themselves and by their mode of life make the respect of eien those bound to them by tits of blood Impossible. Fortunate it is for the young woman who finds It her duty of lave and hu manity to give the" fruits of her labor to the care and support of two little chil dren -who are infinitely worse off than orphans, that the law of our land will uphold her In so courageous an under taking "-- "Honor thy father and thy mother" where honor Is due. The girl who from her babyhood has been guarded and guided by the wonderful knowledge and tenderness of a true mother's love can never gly to that mother a considera tion too deep nor a love too great, but It has never been, given me to see the obligation of a boy or girl toward the father and mother who have utterly dis regarded the obligations they owe the children they have brought Into the world: children to whom all the more Is due because of their utter helplessness In the matter of their birth. pasteboard and then measuring the wet part. It should measure not more than one inch If the milk is pure. With good duality milk, diluted and tested as stated, the depth will be about seven eighths of an Inch before the flame is lost to view. A mixture. of one volume of milk and a half volume of water should show a depth of one and a half Inches. A depth of two Inches indicates either partially skimmed milk or a mix ture of one volume of good milk and one of water, and so on. The process Is based upon the close relation between the opacity of milk and the number of fatty corpuscles contained In It. Both skimming and the adding of water work in the same direction, name ly, to decrease the opacity of milk. The same cannot be said of the density. Skimming Increases it- Adding water decreases It, and the common test that consists in the mere introduction of the lactodenslmeter in milk is worthless, as skimmed milk, may have a normal den sity if care bas been taken to pour into it a certain amount of water. Let it remain a short flme, and when swept off you will find the black spots removed. This remedy will not hurt the finest carpet. When ink is spilled on carpets or rugs it should be covered Immediately with salt, and keep putting on salt until there is no sign of the ink through the salt, let it remain overnight, and when you sweep It off next morning there will be no sign of the Ink left on the carpet. When taking up carpets there Is no necessity for the clouds of dust that some women let loose In the atr by Ira proper management. If paper waa laid under the carpet the work Is easily done. After drawing all the tacks without, turning up een a corner of the carpet, begin at one end of the room, and with an assistant carefully roll the carpet from one end to the. other. Lift It care fully and carry It to the clothesline. Draw the papers, with the dust on them. carefully together, placing them on top J of each other until all are in a pile. Fold them over to present the dust scattering off, and carry them outdoors to be burned. Srplnkle the floor with cold wa ter and aweep up. then wash with soap suds, and the task Is accomplished with no dust to settle on the walls Double draperies are not advisable for the bedroom. Too much air is shut out. though they are lifted back each night. Where one will have them, choose denim, wash prints or heavy wash silks that will stand tubbing One woman fastens to the side lintels of her windows, high above the middle sash, a small hook. In a cenvenlent place she keeps cords for each half of curtain and her maids are taught when prepar ing the room for the night to loop the curtains up and back, thus giving a free current of air. The most practical method of curtain ing a bedroom is to divide the curtains In two sections horizontally. A rod Is run at the top of the lower sash and the lower half run on it by a narrow casing The upper curtain Is cut longer than the lower one and hung to a rod at the top of the casement so they conceal the lower rod By this arrangement the window can be lifted with no floating draperies to blow out the window and get stringy, yet. the room has the benefit of curtains. Cotton Crepe Frocks. Are quite new. And extremely practical. They are easily tubbed. Economy is not the least of their charms. Many of the best models In cotton crepe are simply made. ' Quits a number of these frocks are included In the wardrobes designed for Southern wear. So far white has been the favorite, although some of those In -colors are chic Embroidery done In heavy silk, in bril liant colorings Is an effective mode of trimming them. Macrame lace and cotton crepe is also a good combination. Quite novel is the use of black tulle as a trimming for this material. This is a fad that has recently come from Paris. Many of the wash frocks will show a touch of black, we are told. Some pretty new cotton crepes are striped in two or more colors. The-Jimcy for fringe seems unabated: It s everywhere on gowns, hat. and Dags. MOWSH WALKflMJSUIT Although designed for a young girl, this suit la a good model for any age. It has several new features, and the material used are -vhlte serge and black satin. The coat has a wide shawl collar of tha serge, with an outside collar of the satin, finished with buttons, covered with striped black and white satin These buttons also trim the belt and sleeves The skirt is' closed at the side front and is trimmed with loops and buttons made of the serge. The Seven Ages of Man. By WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. (Published at the request of James Barron.) These T famous lines from Act II. scene 7. of "As Tou Like It." are spoken by Jacques, son of Sir Roland De Bols. and brother of Orlando, the hero of the play. -As Tou Like It" waa first printed seven yeara after the death of Shakespeare Some of the incidents of the play are derived from a romance by Thomas Lodge, printed in 1590 m . The word "pard" means leopard "Pantaloon" la the name of a character in old Italian comedies. He Is represented as an old man. feeble and emaciated and wearing slippers. "Sans" Is French, meaning "without" but Is here pro nounced as an English word "Modern" means "common." "His" In the fourth line from the last means "its " Shakespeare used "his" most frequently for "Its. And all the men and women merely players. They hae their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages. At first the Infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms And then the whining Schoolboy, with hts satchel. And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwtlhngly to school And then, the Lover, Sighing like furnace; with a woeful ballad Made to hts mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier; Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard. Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then, the Justice, In fair round belly, with good capron lined, With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut. Full of wise saws modern instances.; And so-he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd Pantaloon, With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side; His youthful hose well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly, voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange erjntful history. Is second childishness and mere oblnion, Sans teeth, sans ejes, sans taste, sans everything.

There was ones a maid who was young and charming, but who was afflicted with an Ingrowing conscience, that" caused her much pain. It also made every one win whom she came In contact very, very weary, for she felt It her sacred duty to police their conduct and -tell them what poor, weak creatures they were, and how they misused their great oppor tunities. Notwithstanding thit she was so top heavy with virtues, such was the pulchri tude of the maid that she ensnared the affections of a nifty young rounder who conned himself into the belief that her moral attitude was merely a side line of talk thtt she thought attractlte to men, and that she would -drop when she got married and took to bridge whist. Unfortunately, howeer. the maid's conscience, Insteed of being a false alarm, was the real thing. She was that most fearsome object In nature, a re former, and no sooner was she safely wed than, ahe began to put her theories into operation on her husband. "Alas." she would cry as he lit a cigar after dinner, "do you nt know that "the use of tobacco is a disgusting and injuri ous habit, and that If j ou would save the money jou waste on cigars, in tha course of a hundred years you cou.ld buy an apartment house?" "But" replied the husband, "think of the trouble and annoyance with Janitors and tenants I am saved by not owning an apartment house It Is only those who have nothing who do not have to worry over the Stock Market's He Was Discreet. k. Now the can was a discreet fellow who never toyed "too much wlth the booze, but no sooner did he open a bot tle of beer than his wife was on him wtlh luith fMt "Miserable creature," she cried. "1 see your finish In a drunkard's grave If you had not had the good luck to marry a wife who knew how to down the demon rum and reform you of your vices." I perceive," said the Man to him self when he had stood so much Inter ference In his Ways that It made him Sore, "that it Is the Dog Collar and Jumping through the Hoop for mine unless I make a Stand Right Here for my Liberty So It la up to me to Bat In with some sort of Counter Play, for I opine that the Reason Females are so Hot on Reform Is because their own Little Games are never Raided by Men." Thereupon the Man went to his Wife and thus addressed her: "I perceive," he said "that you are Right and that It Is our Duty to Pass up the Frivolous Pursuits we have been following and lead the Higher Life However. I do not feel that It would be Kind for me to Monopolize FEESH AIE IS GOOD FOE SHOES. Fresh air la good for most things. In cluding1 shoes. But In this Instance, as In many others, the value of fresh air Is not rightly -estimated. At night the least thoughtful shake out their clothes, brush off the day's dust, and slip each garment oyer a hanger,, and many gar ments are thrown over a chair before an open window. But how many of even the most fastidious germ-fighters think to air their shoes? Clleketyrcllck, lnto a clothes closet or closed, shoe box. they go. Instead of being brushed into shape and placed where the air can play freely about and through them. A window all Is an excellent shoe air ing rack, and is convenient for all. Shoes placed there for an hour or so after wearing each day will not only prove re freshing to the feet but will harbor no foot odors, and the dampness from feet warmth and weather conditions will evaporate, leaving leather and lining re newed to resist the day's wear. Reveals Secret of Woman's Charms The woman who always has a smooth, velvety complexion that reflects youth fulness sever uses powder. The best thing" for beautifying and preserving the complexion is a lotion made with 4 ouncts of spurmax dissolved In $4" pint witch hazel (or hot water), with 2 tea- spoonfuls of glcerlne added. This does not snow when en and is unequaled for correcting an oily, shiny, sallow skin. It gives the skin a charming freshness that lasts. The much-admired lustrous hair of many society women Is a matter of mere care. It Is no trouble to .have bright fluffy, growing hair; simply keep the scalp clean by proper shampooing, using a teatpoonful of canthrox In a cup Of hot -water. "This cleanses perfectly, dis solves dandruff, and stops scalp Irrita tion at if by magic The hair" then dries quickly without streaking, and wit be ever so brilliant soft and easy to do up. 1 All the Virtues and Sprout Angel Wings while you merely have a Few Tin Feathers. I desire, therefore, to return some of the Good Advice you have been Handing me. and help you to Overcome some of Tour Faults as you hare Assisted me to Correct mine.' At this the Wife looked surprised, but her Husband continued. "I suggest" he said, "that you Com mence on your Vanities, and Pass Up your High Heeled Satin Slippers for Wide. Comfortable. Durable Leather Boots." "But" exclaimed the Wife, "do you not know that I am' possessed of a No. 1 Foot that It would be a Shame to Hide!" "That Is true." replied tb Husband. ' but you should not Indulge yourself In such a Weakness as Caring how you look, for only the Good are Truly Beau tiful. Then -you should leave off your Stays, which are Unhealthful and Pre vent your Breathing Properly." "Nofrron jrour life," cried the Wife, "for I have a Straight Front Figure that makes all of my Friends Green with Envy." "You must also abandon .Frizzing your Hair." continued the" Husband, "for It Is Wrong for a-Cresture with an Immortal Soul to Waste so much time on the Curling Irons." She Objects. "What!" screamed theiWlfe,- "and go out with my Head looking like a Peeled Onion? Not If I was Dead." "That will be about all." said the Hus band, "for I see that you are Steering me up against. a Bunco Proposition that you are not willing to Back Up your self. Tou want to Sacrifice all my Little Sidestepping, but when It comes to giving up your own Indulgences you are not In It There Is not enough Reciprocity In this thing to suit me Hereafter you lead the Reform Procession and I will String Into It somewhere along the Road, but I do not Propose to play a Lone Hand at Being the) Family Model." And that settled the Lady, who waa so sfrald that she would be called on to give up a Few herself that ahe ceased to Knock Her Husband's Faults, and they lived together In great Peace and Harmony.

LOYDIg, EssEHTiAi ponrrs of THE BUSINESS LETTER Brevity and courtesy are two essential elements ot a note wrlten to business folks. The former Is more than desirable, for the reason that busy men and, women have neither the time nor the patience to give to reading lengthy communica tions. Many requests are Ignored that might hae met with success had they not been so long drawn out. Also, any eccentricity of writing, either as to actual chlrography or mainer of placing the words, should be avoldeJ for the same Teason. If a woman'a hand Is not. very clear to read tt Is the part of wisdom to have typewritten notes soliciting contribu tions. Should this be used, the slgrature should be put in by hand, but the church or society for nhlch the individual writes should be typewritten, that it ahall be so clear as to pre en t any error on the part of the person reading. Once It la understood that the writer Is a responsible person, her name Is un important as compared to the society she Is representing The writer's home address should be given, and when she Is a mairied woman the name ot her husband should bi put beneath hers, that the recipient uf the letters may have no difficulty In looking ber up s.iould ho cbcose. In the original note the name, of the society and" church should be "written. In full, and If the writer Is not an officer the rord "member should be substi tuted fcr the" former.
