Tiny creatures which cling to the body c{ insect, ani- mal, poultry and man, they have be- coms one of the greatest of problems When many of them are annoying the victim, it soon is so run down that it becomes the prey of others or a dis- ease. In some cases, as with the mites which prey upon chickens and turkeys, the houses must be sprayed and kept free of them. They live upon the blocd of the fowls and hide in the cracks of the celling or walls during the daytime. ‘When you see your pet chickens try- ing to pull opt their own feathers it 1s a pretty d sign that mites are bothering them.

Every woman knows that her daughter’s happiness and well being depend upon the man she marries. Every mother wants her son to marry a girl who has been brought up with the right sort of ideas and ideals and who has had high principles instilled in her. She wants him to marry a girl who has been taught to control her temper and her tongue, wWho has had the spirit of. unselfish- ness inculcated in her, who has learned to give and take and play fair and to meet the ups and downs of life with a cheerful philosophy and to be neither a grafter nor a quitter IVERY mother hopes that her son will find that jewel above price, & wife who sees weil to the ways of ber household: a wife who is thrifty and industrious and energetic and who knows how to take care of the money her husband earns; a wife who makes a comfortable and peaceful and happy home for her husband: a wife who is a good cook who feeds her husband on nourishing, well-prepared food and who will not wreck his stomach and his nerves with soggy steaks and sour bread and dishwater coffee before he is 40. Mother has & close-up of the girl for her son, but is she busy trying to bring up her daughter to the answer to some other wWoman's prayer? Not $0 you cam notice it. On the contrary, ever since the day Mary was born mother has done everything she could to develop her into the kind of wife she does not want John to marry. Mary has grown up believing that she has a divine title to the best of everything and that nobody has the right to thwart her will. WHEN there were any hard things to do, mother did them. When there were any sacrifices to be made, mother made them. Mother walked while Mary had the car.' Mother wore her year-before-last dress and had her shoes patched, so that Mary might have a mew frock for every dance and silver slippers. When Mary was crossed and went into fits of femper, mother apologized for the things she hadn't done, and Mary forgave her. But does mother consider it her life job to prepare a blessing to be- stow on some other woman's daughter? Far from it. She knows that Tom will marry when he grows up, but she should worry about it. So mother waits on Tom hand and foot and never demands a thing of him, and she rfrm)ta him to talk back to her and say insulting things to her, and she ets him grow up arrogant and overbearing and with no idea of ever curb- ing his desires or doing anything that doesn't please him or having the slightest regard for the feclings or rights of any one else. A strange, sad thing, isn't it, that the mothers in the world have it in their power to abolish domestic misery and make practically every marriage a success, and they do not even make an effort to do so?

HE elaborate capitals and unusual circles on the Joop letters make this writing of interest, particu- larly as the remainder of the letters are simply formed. The capital “I” gives & good hint as to the manner of individual the writer is. There is perhaps a little conceit here. It may have been fostered because others did not fully appreciate the writer. By striving to draw attention to herself she has finally fallen into the habit of overbelief. She has possioly played a part to the world so long that she has come to believe it herself. She would surely be more attractive were she to be more natural. Though we any all strive to better ourselves and | ‘appear at our best to others, we should | not earry this to the point of affecta- | tion. The elaborate loops, also, bear out this indieation of superficiality. | Persons of her type should be careful | about becoming too restricted in their viewpoints. Usually they are not open | to new things, and feel that the differ- | ent and unusual must be wrong. In | order to correct this tendency she must make & conscious effort to become more bropdminded. Apparently she would have an apti- tude for work where exactness was the first essential. She does not seem imaginative or particularly original, but she is precise. Bookkeeping or other work with figures would probably inter- | est her, Though she might not make a | good executive, she would perhaps be a | success in directing small groups with | another’s guidance. Teaching work might appeal to her. Here, however, she would be more successful with adults than with children, as they de- mand a more flexible type.
