Nobody has a right to, if you are your own man and work your own farm. No more hove you the right to "give" your wife a vacation. When the needs it, it is her right to take it ; and if sho is a woman of any spirit she will not ask, '"May I go away and tako a week's rest?" but will instead tell yon that she is tired out and is going away and take some change and recreation ; and that she expecto her s.il arj to go on (like a govommeut clerk's), while the is absent. How many farmers have wives of that stamp? Usually when a farmer gives his wife h vacation he expects her to tako all the children with her (if there's a dozen), and to take care of them whilo she is away. She must take an immense pile of sewing with her if she goes to her mother's to rest (?) for a week ; for the family must be clothed for winter. She works jttbt as hard during her 'va cation as when at home, but it is a change and will do her good. What a time she will have, to", setting tho hotl-e rieht when she gets back homo again! In the long run these vacations (which husbands rarelv give their wives.) don't pay; and I am going to tell you a better way. Don't wait for your husband lo "givo" you tt vacation, but tako one evoty day of your life. Tako time from the "work to look at yourself critically. Sit down and think over tho probable charms which first won the man of your choice; and nee if tho-e chanii.-. are jut us freh ns to-day. If you wore hund-ome, and he married you for your beauty, you must pic;ervo that beauty if you' want to keep bis love.

So, with little Beit on hoi lap, Susy's cutis falling over one shoulder,- an Tom's short cropS'd head resting on the other, she tried to impress on them a lesson of love for the yir coming, drawn from cjperienci of Ihevv.u (hat was gone.

I think tho dogs arc twice tho prettiest, but I'm sorry I was so ugly to Sue and - gisid-by" Now ho felt liko an honest boy. Ho mot Susy in the hall skipping in toleii as ho got homo. Ho seized and raised her from her foot with a mighty hug. 0, Tom, dear! I'm going to ho good to you all tho now year." "Me, too. Sue," was his fervent but rather indifferent answer. Sho was half afraid he would read in her beaming face all about what sho had been doing. And ho clapped both hands over his mouth for fear that it might laugh itself out this secret of his which must ba kept inviolate.

"No, I didn't," said grandfather, stoutly, as ho seated himself and drew them on. There seemed an uncommon stiffness about thorn, and' ho held up both foot into the light to see what was the mat ter. "Oh-h-h-h!" cried Susy. "Oh-h-h-hP scicai'icil Tom. "Why, I changed mine!" exclaimed Susv. ' "So tlid-T!" Doth stared as if th double exchange ought to make the two moro liko than ovor bofora As tho others gathered around to hov Uncle Phil relieved himself by a fearful shout of laughter, .and then wont on to explain how it was that Iho slipper ques tion was unsettled, and scomod likely to remain so, for Tom declared that Susy' choice should ho kept, while Susy in sisted that Tom's should. At laat Uncle Phil pioposed a solemn family council on tho matter. Hut gianfathor gathered a boy iu ono arm and a girl iu the other, and gave Tom n loving ki-s and Susy two. Then tho dour old gentleman settled it him self, and how do you think bo douo it? "1 shnll koop them both," ho said, with a decided stamp of the llowery slipper. That was how. And to this dav the ptiggy dog and Iho daisies and foru led move slowly side by side about the house, serving as mi every shi n minder to Su and Tom that they hud resolved to l.o good to ouch other "nil the New Your" Voulb's Companion.
