TRAIN THE BOY.
The simple matter of a boy being trained to be orderly may seem of very slight moment in determining the happiness or unhappiness of his future home, but at' least every housewife with a careless husband \yill appreciate its importance in practical living. A lad accustomed to have his sisters or the servants pick up whatever he chooses to leave about will some day be a constanb vexation to the tidy soul of his spouse, -when he might almost as easily have been taught to aid rather than to destroy the neatness and order of his homo. The mother who' allows her son always to consider his own interests and never to feel that the comfort and wishes of those about him are his affair, is preparing a husband who will some day render miserable through sheer thoughtlessness any sensitive woman who links her destiny with his.
