We mothers get s© tired, says Frances IngersOU in a recent article. We wonder if life is all to be like this, if we must always worry over Johnny’s shoes, or father’s coat, or the winter’s coal, or where the rent money is coining from—and then the wrinkles and toil worn bands and care furrows hurt so much w rse when we are tired. Life seems so n-tie worth whi e when we look back u|*on those things we lucent to do and to be and we think how far we have “failed” in' the realization. Life to us seems such a sordid thing beside the “other woman’s.”

But when twilight comes, when the restless boyish feet are still,»when mischievous little hands are quiet, when baby lips drowsily murmur “dood night, muvver.” as little arms slip from about onr neck—then, tbeu we know that the other woman whose life is all ease an-.l silken luxury would give it all for just one such twilight hour, would give ail her priceless jewels for—just once—to feel encircling baby arms about her neck, and we know we are rich beyond compare.

And we think of the time when the lads and lassies WFI grow, because of us, good men and women, God willing. Then we know. too. that life can hold no greater possibilities, no greater opportunities, than are ours. And as we put away the little muddy shoes and fold up the mussed little garments the care and worry and fret are all forgot, and we lie down in peace, thanking God for the humble toil and sowing that will bear such golden harvest on the "by and by.”

But even the baby may profit by the suggestions here given For his or her imperial majesty a creeping frock may be made by stitch ing an extra piece of material. 10 by inches, to the center back of any plain dress or slip.

Points For Mothers

HOBBLE GARTERS.

They Lessen the Dinger of a Fall For Tight Skirt Wearers.'

THE GARTERS SHE HOBBLES IN.

The passing of the hobble skirt is predicted—indeed, the shadow of these unsightly models is mercifully growing less and less. Still the very narrow skirt is the rule this winter. To make the walking of the wearers of these skirts one of comparative safety some kind genius has lately invented the hobble garter. The invention is nothing more than a pair of regulation garters connected by a piece of the elastic of sufficient length to admit the woman wearing them to step so far and no farther, thereby preventing jierhaps a serious fall from overstepping the bounds.

A Wash Day Shower.

A clever notion Tor a girl who wants to entertain in honor of a bride to be is a wash day shower. The gifts that are brought to the shower need not all be suitable for use on wash day, but should be among the household articles that go to the tub and bence would be appropriate to be hung on a clothesline.*, ' ' 7

The girl for whom the shower i 3 given is ushered into the parlor in whieh the clothesline is suspended after the manner of wash day. On it are hung various gifts of linen for tbe household.

She should be provided with a big “sure ensugh" clothesbasket and .ordered to “take in the wash,” which is neatly pinned on the line.

The “wash” consists of various ar tides needed for daily domestic tasks. There should be towels. d,ust cloths. Ironing blankets, kitchen aprons, a clothespin bag in which she has to collect the piss and a frame on which lo roll the line when she has taken it down.- pi As a climax the tin tabs may stand in one corner.
