E'VE’S RA‘MBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
0 THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The home woman’Sjeems to some, one
who might have fitted certain narrOw
conditions of the ' past and certain
prosaic ones of the present, but. never
the needs of progress. ,

. The fact 1s, theneeds of a home and
the qualifications of a home-keeper
1‘stand first in importance,” is the posi-
' -tion taken by Mary R. Baldwin when
writing of ‘The Possibilities .Of a
Home Woman. ”
' “So few women 1ea1i'ze the possibilié
1 ties for exercising- the “most thoughts
' ful energies in learning to be a home-
maker. The opportunities for develop-
' ing.- endowments, scientific, intellect-'
ual or executive, to their fullest scope,
rare" as .present here as anywhere else.
The girl who never dreams of having
a home of her OWn and some one at the
head of it whom she can delight to
honor and love is generally lacking in
' .~~her feminine make-up.
Mothers who, after their daughters
arrive at a suitable age to instruct them
upon the subject of love, mar11age and
the dunes. of home-keeplng, neglect
his part Of trammg, must sometime
awaken to the fact. of what Itéhey have
missed.
-: . And yet one would nOt cast a Shadow,
5 over. the bright dreams of .youth and
fame a young creature out of her' girl-
hood by emphasizing to her the som-
' lore 1ealities of life before she takes 11p
the duties that belong to a futu1e ex-
pe11ence
The girl must not lie cheated Out Of
- one stage Of her development; if she is,
3 through any cause, ' she will carry
through life a sense of having been de-
frauded of something that was rightly
hers. If a girl is kept true and truth-
ful‘and pure, she "has the foundation
3 qualities upon which to build the hap-
piness of a home.
‘But she needs direction in those
- .1 . habits that have a'. direct bearing upon
,its peace and- Comfort, and One must be
.a very inexperienced or selfish pei son
' _ who refiiSes to regard the small things
in their relation to the management of
the afiahs of a home.
The most thorough education, the
most brilliant gifts, the most fascinat-
ing personality—these are not too
1much to bring to a home, and the
investment of the wealth of mind and
heart will insure rich returns to the
sacred spot where low: and service
should go hand in hmd. ”

Merlin J. Waterbury was accepted

Mrs. .Hanford Smith’s house. Monday
evening, by Prof. Charles Mansfield
was ,in. every way a great success.
About thirty were present and all en-
joyed the banjo music and the sleight
of hand performances. Owing to the
storm many who had intended coming
were forced to stay home so the. enter-

Summer boarders do not seem to be

doubt has something to do with it.
