One of the saddest features in the whole scheme is the wasted time, worse thau'wasted. One so often hears another say, “*“Well, [ want my daughter to read something, she had better read novels than nothing.” Of course, there are novels and novels, A girl is much better off and will have much safer and truer ideas of life if she never reads a word outside of her sechool books than if sho pores over the vile called Slove stori until her quiver and her heart beats with unnatu ex- citement. or, like all other abnormal eravings, the dosive for move, more be- comes irresistible, and she will then care for nothing else, Sir Herbert Maxwell, Craving for Fiction," gives incidentally the tollowing advice: *If any young porson of leisure wore so much at ‘u loss as to ask advice as to what he should read mine should be exccedingly simn Ready anything bearing on g definite obje Lot him take upany imaginable subject to which he feels atteacted, be it the procession of the equinoxes or postage stamps, the Athenian drama or ondon street cries: let him follow it from book to book and unconsciously his knowledge, not of that subject only, but of many subjects, will be increased, for the departments of the realm of knowl- edgo are divided by no cetroi, He may abandon the first object of his pursuit for another; it does not matter, one sub- jeet leads to anothers he will have quired the habit of acquisition: he have guined that conviction of pricelessness of time which mak tolerable for aman to lie morning.” I young girls and those who are re sponsible for the making or marring of their lives would heed the good and insist that rveading some other object timo we would hear of hearts, suicides and all such sibly sorrowful happenings. fan love! is hese eulti- little nds slush nerves upon *'The ac- will the it in- ubed of a advice be done with in view than loss broken inexpres- Kato Upson Clar made a re mark which will be keenly appreciated by all women who have tried the beauti ful rules for economicai living which arc 80 often unfolded. 1t was in a club meet- and housckeeping was the subject under discussion, Mus.

The object was to demonstrate how, by the aid of economy, scientific cookery and industry a workingman's family of six can be comfortably main- tained for 2500 a year. Miss Catharine 3. Davis, a graduate of Vassar and a student of chemistry at Barnard college, became interested in the project and was placed in chiarge of it. She furnished the house and pro- vided the family wardrobe, paying re- tail prices for ev thing.
