In- deed, if some one told them that cer-l tain things they did were not for thej best they would mentally term their informers “ know nothings,” and then keep on with their accustomed ways. They have their own ideas, methods, and notions, and will not be influenc- ed one way or the other. They be- lieve there are certain household dut- ies which no one but themselves can do, and consequently they give up many a pleasant and profitable visit or amusement just for that. There are thousands of mothers who have will- ing daughters. but who are so fear- ful that the work will not be correct- 1y done. that the girls, no matter how .much they wish to relieve their moth- er, are not permitted to help. Day af- ter day she struggles on with the bur- den of household duties, and very of- ten complains about it; but help, “Oh, no 1" she does not want it. The girls .do nothing right. They do not sweep well, nor do they dust carefully. and as for set ubbing, why, they simply can- flot do it, that is all! They scratch the woodwork and do not wipe up the wa- ter carefully, etc.. etc. 'V- Now. why should not the girls learn to do the work, or rather help with it? If they are at all willing, they cannot see the mother they adore working hard in the hot kitohen._ while they are read- ing or practising, knowing all the time that their help wquld be a blessing, if it were only permltted.

In an old nursery rhyme there was a lady who Cultivated what then seem- ed the remarkable habit of wearing “ rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.” Her descendant, the society wo- man to-day, has in reversing the old arrangement inaugurated a still more remarkable habit. Many of the rings which the. modern woman wears do act- ually have bells on them; and as for wearing rings on her toes, that is now an established customc Toe rings are not yet visible in the jewellers' Windows, because they are as yet made only to fill special orâ€" ders; but if the fashion is followed up. as it is likely to be, they will soon be as plentiful as bracelets or silver hatpins. There are, as it will be surmised, a great many occasions on which the toe ring cannot be worn. It is not worn in the daytime under a shoe, nor in the evening under a slipper. But there are times when it is allowed to shine forth in all its glory, and one of these times is when its owner is taking a Turkish bath. The pride and delight which society women take in their pret- tily shaped, exquisitely cared for feet, possibly in most cases date no further back than the Trilby fever, but it is certain that since that time a beauti- ful‘ foot is more yalued than before, attractiveness, is most carefully culti- vated. A toe ring serves just this pur- pose. Now, when the woman of many fads joins a Turkish bath party she does not, under an impulse of mistaken modesty, conceal her feet from View. She rath- er allows them to be as conspicuous as the conditions will allow, while her friends are encouraged to admire open- ly their whiteness and slenderness. As a mark of extreme novelty she new places on each big toe a ring which does not differ at all, except in size. from the ones she wears on her fing- It may be of plain gold, or it may be made brilliant with jewels. There are no restrictions as to its character. But grotesque, as the idea appears at first thought, a. pretty ring is unques- tionably an ornament to a pretty foot, and the women who are brought to re- alize this will doubtless hasten to imi- talte the example which has been set t em. m gym-L » device calling attention to its Items of Interest About Some of the Great Folks of the “'orld.

She had constant and acute pains in her back. The pain in her head was fearful end almost unendurable. It frequently pre- ented her from attending school, and she found study at home practically impossible. She had no appetite, and did not slee well. The pein was very severe around her eart and she was much troubled with fluttering and palpitation. She was completely worn out in body and was tired and drowsy all the time.
