Lady Constance is also rich and will

Countess of Cromartle married Major

was born to them, but the child died,
and unless other children are born to

The girl wage earner leads, as a rule,
n comfortless life, whether she be an
Inmate of her home or a boarding
house In a strange place. After her toll
gome any she needs the change that
can best be supplied by the well ap
pointed club.
This will doubtless appear a frivo
lous view to take of the proper use to
which ihc girl wage earner should put
her leisure hours, for It is the custom
of those who Interest themselves In
the welfare of the girl to persuade her
to study after working hours. It Is not
disputed that the knowledge may be
of advantage to her, but the criticism
here made Is that the almost Invariable
programme offered to the girl Is re
stricted to opiMrtuntty for improving
her mind and rendering skillful her

tabued the mandate, "Dabies should
not be rocked to sleep." This would at
first teem cruel and arbitrary, but It la
not as unreasonable as would appear.
It is vastlj better for the baby to be
undressed and laid down iu the crib,
i with a cool, fresh pillow under the
little head, to drop Into a quiet sleep
than to be held In mother's warm arms
close against her breast and rocked
for half an hour or more. With most
babies a very little training will be
Rufiklent to Induce them to sleep when
laid down If they have never become
I accustomed to the rocking. If you are
not Spartan enough to have the baby
while he is . vigorously protesting
against this 'procedure, sit by the crib
ami gently pat him to sleep. After
awhile even this will not be necessary.
It Is not only better for the child, but
also for the mother, us the rocking
habit, if persisted In. soon becomes a
tax rather than a pleasure. Arthur W.

Hns nnd sockets for putting down
the ordinary floor carpet are not new
at all. but they are so useful that they
tire W';:'.h in. itioning. The great util
ity of these Is that the carpet can bo
taken up with but little trouble for a
weekly shaking Instead of sweeping If
one desires. The sockets are driven In
to the Moor at regular Intervals around
the room. The carpet is put down, and
for each socket there is a pin or bras
headed nail which gu s Ir.to It, holding
the carpet as firmly In pkico as the or
dinary tack. Hut with the pin and
socket there Is no trouble In lifting It
again. The pins are replaced In the
sockets to keep them from tilling with
dust, and when the carpet is cleaned it
can be put down again with ease. Tho
pins are suillclcntly long, two and
three-quarter Inches, to hold the carpet
firmly. In some hour's hall carpets an
put down without lining and taken up
frequently to be shaken.

rinnu Drapery.
The prettiest draiory for the back of
an upright piano is some rich stuff,
brocade or church embroidery or a
piece of not too gaudy eastern stuff.
Throw it over the top of the piano and
let It fall straight over the back with
out rod or rings. If something thinner
Is used. It should be hung, very slightly
fulled, on a fine wire or rod that Is
made Invisible. In the case of a simple
material It is better to choose one not
too flowery, letting Its purpose, that of
concealing the unfinished back, be free
ly peen. A low backed sofa or a table
may stand in front of the piano, pref
erably the latter, as a sofa frame
against the back Is apt tt pull and din
nrrnnsre the drapery, while the use of
the piano Itself as a seat back may In
terfere with the sound If not actually
injure the Instrument. A Rqnare piano
Is better undraped unless a particularly
choice piece of rare stuff is own!.

A mother, overheanl her nursegirl
talking to the little child she was put
ting to sleep, and among other legends
of the nursery in which she indulged
was this. "If you don't go right to
sleep this very minute, a great, big,
iMvful, black bear, with eyes like coals
of lire and sharp, cruel teeth, will come
out from under the bed and e-a-t you

down under the clothes to dream of
horrid bears eating lu r up.
That night when the stolid nurse had
composed herself In her own com foi ta
ble bed and had put the lamp out there
came a sudden tap at the door, and the
voice of the mistress called loudly
through the panels; "Maggie. Ma::gic:
