One of the commonest criticisms made against women is their inabili- ty really to find themselves. They ard said 'to confuse their longings, their aspirations, their 'ideals with | their actual capabilities and so run round: and round in a circle, never getting anywhere. The woman whom a kind Creator designs to he a kindly, estimable housewife spend her time freely trying 'to imitate a more gifted friend, who has talenis which entitle her to create for her-| self a sphere where she can bask in! the limelight. A little story in one of the maga- zines is written by a woman who pos- seésses the saving sense of humor. | She pictures a girl of a type seen fre-| quently----- the girl who takes herself seriously and wins commiseration from 'the start. She isin love,! which furnishes the little touch of | nature that makes all kin, And she does not know she is in love with! love, but fancies a single individual has wrought for her this divine mir- acle. She writes a' poem expressing the deathlessness of affection--an affec- tion, which, however, lasts a scant three years, and then, as she wonder- ingly speaks of the disillusionment: "It's strange that a person --of a thing-- can mean so much to you and then, in such a little while, mean nothing at all." Two other affairs follow in due time with poems equally expressive: then the girl discovers the very pain- ful truth about herself: "You are a reed for God to make music through, that is all:" And the girl, big enough to grasp (the significance, answéred: 'After all, a reed is all right in its place, if only it knows it is a reed --and hollow." Sometinies just such an awakKen- ing as this is needed--a revelation of personal insignificance, but at thc came time a comprehension that our place in the scheme of things is im- portant, providéd we are not asham- ed to be a reed--and hollow. ha "I've a guicker way to clean floors" Lawrason's "Snowflake Made mm Canada, Ammonia does the trick and leaves no the'wood.

Don't Rob Girlhood Of Its Charm bn) Posing. The average girl goes through her fads as she does through her dress- es, but there is one habit, if she hap- pens to run into it, which may leave a lasting impression on her charae- ter. This is the habit of posing. It really is nothing but a habit, usually incurred at about eighteen or nine- teen. We all know the girl who is con- stantly posing. She never gits in a chair in a normal, erect attitude, but needs must drape herself around it in an artistic but thoroughly uupat- ural posture. She cannot stand er- ect to chat with a person, but finds some wall or fireplace against which she can lean in a conspicuously neg- ligent 'way. If any one has ever told her she has a good profile she will assume Nazimova poses, her chin up, her profile outlined against a dark background if possible. This is the girl who poses, and any mother who allows her daught. er to begin this Habit does not know what she is letting herself in for er she would mever give way to this hobby. Many a present day poser might have been a thoroughly de- lightful and natural girl if she had been told in time the absurdities of this custom. But posing, like other habits, grows from a mere idle pastime to an over-bearing master, and the girl who once posed for fun ends up by thinking of little else except her pos- tures. This really is not exaggerat- ed, as any reader who knows a poser can tell. The habit usually begins the last year of school and can be quickiy disposed of if attacked at the start by its natural enemy---ridicule. Ev- ery one of us is sensitive to ridicule, and if the poser is made fun of at the begi ng 'she will soon drop the ha- bit. But if it is allowed to grow no amount of ridicule will dislodge it in the end, for the poser will never be able to 'seé the justice of the shafts aimed at her and will attribute them all to jealousy. v How much more attractive is the girl who is quite matural and uncon- scious of self! She is so much more popular with girls and men alike than the poser, who may attract tem- 'porarily, but fails to be able to hold 'the atténtion long. Naturalness is 'girlhood's greatest charm, amd the silly girl who thinks she must always strike a pose wherever she may be should learn to think more of others and their interests than of how she 'looks at all times. The mother and friends of a poser in embryo can do much to make her lose her fondness for the habit by ri- dicule, = When they see the inciina- tion in her they should send a few pointed shafts of sarcasm which may wound temporarily, but will heal eventually, The more a mother can do to make her daughter uncofiscious 'of self the more attractive anc charming the girl will be, ---------- Slight Breezes And Sunshine Fine For Blanket Cleaning. ..Every housewife has a different way of treating her blankets and flannels for the spring cleaning. For the housewife who does not care to have her bedclothes mixed In with all sorts and conditions of clothes in a public laundry and has not the fin- ancial means to send their blankets to the Sleagers, only one thing re- mains--to have the work done at home. There is no reason why the blan- kets washed at home should not come out as clean and fresh as new if they are properly done. How- ever, the wool must not be rubbed, and it is better to use mo soap, for rubbing stretches the weave of the blanket and soapsuds almost never come out entirely, causing the blan- ket in many cases to shrink. It, however, the housewife will give her laundress the following instructions jhe blanket should come out beauti- ly X A half pint of household ammonia should be poured into a tub and a blanket laid over it. Lukewarm water should be run on to this a: once. The 'water will send the fumes of the ammonia through the wool, and this will loosen all the dir. | about {| w . | How To Cook Asparagus Much has abqut the asparagu for granted, here © ing ways that jt been health-giving written qua hese qualities interest- ¢ vegetable so + gerved many times ng on the most exacting fastidious appetite: « Fame this and Baked With Cheese, Drain boiled asparagus and ar- range the stalks neatly on a buttered baking dish.

It is to the all-lace frock that the latter-day designer gives atention, so that lace is now a principal rather than an accessory. It was inevi- table that the laces of the loom would gradually lessen the importance of the real; the imitation was always therein convenient width and quality to carry out the designer's ideas. Very good are the laces which are only partially machine = made, as when the hand of the worker guides the play ofthe design on a net foun dation Then on the cobwebby loom lace hand embroidered will work flower designs that give to it a weighted richness and grace. Doilies That Held Both Plate and Tumbler. Just at present the square and ob- long plate doylies are in favor. These are made large enough for the plate and tumbler, thus eliminating the small tumbler doylie. The correct size for the oblong doyliés is 11 inches by 16 inches. Runners are generally used with the oblong doy lies, and centres are not so much .in evidence as they were for so many years. The square doyles, too, are made large enough for the plate and tumbler, while a smaller square is used for a bread and butter or cup and saucer doylie These doylies are being used for luncheon and card parties, and, although a centrepiece is often omitted from these sets, it can be used If desired. ixhibition of Lace in London. An exhibition of antique émbroi- deriegs and lace, English, Flemish, Italian and. Oriental, is being held in the Royal School of Art Needlework, Exhibition road, London. An in. teresting piece shown is a Charles 1. prayer book having the New Testa- ment on the one side, and a book of hymns on the other. Among the embroideries is a magnificent piece of Hindu-Portuguese, with a stitched background and Tudor roses in erim- son of the William and Mary shade. There are also a number 6f waists coats worn by the bean of Queen Aune's time, and some. quaint old dresses, among which is a ball dress of Marie Antoinette's.
