Dehold the society editor!
Think of the things
That she must write,
Think of the doings
ily day and by night;
Think of the parties
And dunces, too,
Think of tho worry
Thnt she goes through.
Numos and Initials
Must always ho right,
The tltno and tho plnco
Forovor in sight;
Adjectives, oujoetlves,
Oh, for n score,
Ueuutlftil,
Elegant,
Others galore.
Toll how tho table
Was covered with flowers,
Speak of the ribbons
And rorcs and bowers;
Who was tho hostess?
Name every guest,
Who was assisting
And how wero they dressed?
Who won the honors?
If bridge was tho gnmo;
Who wns Invited?
Please give every nnme,
Pity, oh, pity
The woman who gocH
To writo of receptions
And dimes and clothes;
Hero Is the lot
Which no ouo would choose,
Writing and writing
Society news.

CHARACTER liuil-Mnte Is the first
important duty In ll'o. says '01 1. 1
Whoolor Wilcox, Noxt comes
homo building.
And how rarely do wo find the
woman who made this second object
nno of serious thtught or effort I
Ask one hundred young girls from
18 to -5 to doscrlbo an Ideal homo,
and how dlfllcult they would find tho
task.
IlecaiiHO the Idual has not boon
.formed in their minds.
One has been thinking of a enreor
jis an nrtlst; another wants to write;
another longs to go abroad and study
for tho ulngo.
Ono has social ambitions, hut a
large fortune and a rich husband
comprlso her Ideals of hupplness. It
would he remarkable If one girl in
tho entire hundrod should ho able to
promptly dollne her Ideal of a perfect
home, a homo where husband and
children might llnd earth's best hap
piness, and the wife and mother ask
no larger or greater Held of useful
ucss, It Is tlio woman who makes or
mars the homo, Tho most perfect
typo of mnn could not make an Ideal
homo If tho woman who shared Ills
rcsldonco wero a virago, dissoluto or
immoral.
Yet many Instances can bo found
whoro tho Ideal and tactful woman
lias mndo lior homo a center of de
light nnd Inspiration and comfort to
children and friends, despite the fact
that lior partner In life lacked all lr
virtues which she believed he pos
sessed on tho day ho led her to tho
altar.
This Is not surprising, when wo
consider thnt thoughts are living
things, nnd thnt a ntrong, well poison,
healthful mind, continually sending
out hopoful, loving, kind nnd patient
thoughts for sixteon hours of tho
waking period of tho day does much
to counteract tho dlsngreonblo or un
wholesome thoughtH which tlio man
may send forth for less than half
that timo.
Thorofore, tho real homemaker
must he tho woman.
When sho Is aided by the man,
then. Indeed, heaven conies very
noar: nnd If tho man falls to do his
part she has, at least, the pride nnd
satisfaction of knowing sho mwo him
his chanco of linnnliiew, and she
knows, too, thnt sho made ncice aii'l
nleasuro possible for her children nn 1
her friends, despite her handlcnii.
An appreciation of a beautiful ami
nttractlvo home Is tn ilist rorncr
stono to lie laid. Then must come
Ideals of comfort nnd convenience,
then a study of restful ami becoming
colors, and an expression of Indi
vidual taste.
Whatever part economy plays in n
home, it must nevor cripple tho dain
tiness of tahle or bed, In order to
make u display In showy ornamenta
tion or elaborate menus.
The best manners, tho sunnlost
moods, the whitest llnon nnd the
sweetest surprises must be for tho
homo clrtlo rather titan for tho
sometimes guest.
Whoever enters that homo must
faol tlio good will, tho usefulness,
l'e slumio liosnltnllly and tlio spirit
f 1'rnHtndo which Its Inmates liavo
In their hearts
If thoo are the thoughts sent out
I'V the ''cvxIn'itliKi spirit of the homo,
hov will he felt by nil who enter tlio
'onr.
If ! u'lfo tui'l mother nnnroclntes

There was nn Idenl homo where
continual economy stood guard over
each small purchase, ami where an
Irritable scml-luvalld husband nnd
father was not above to dim the sun
shine of good nature and hopeful
ness and morritnent which filled tho
Biuull domain with hope and linpp.
ness from year end to year end.
Tho Ideal home must ho built up
on those Inner qualities cheerful
ness, a sense of humor, unselllshncss,
the Idealizing of the comiiionplnco
nnd then must come n training of tho
mind in tho laws of beauty and ap
propriateness and usefulness Tho
chomlcnl values of food, cooking ns a
lino art, architecture, Interior deco
rations, embroidery, needlework, mu
sic, nil these things aro good for a
woman to study who wants to de
velop In herself tho power to enjoy
and to help crcnto nn ideal home.
A development of humanitarian
qualities and sympathy will sotHo
many servant problems.
The Ideal homo must be n home to
the domestic as well as to employ
ers. From such a home may n woman
extend lior powers of usefulness to
these who are bolcvv lior ami nbove
her. nnd oven Into the Invisible
realms of tho beyond, whoso borders
He close to tho boundaries of I ho
