Ladies' Column

All who have anything to do with children know what an endless task stocking-mending is, and I think that after a certain stage darning is useless, and that it takes less time to re-foot or graft them. This plan is so much adopted on the Continent that they sell the woven feet all ready to graft on to the stockings, and this, of course, saves a great deal of trouble and'time. Wasted energies. — " O yes," said a lazy grumbler, " People always helps them as don't need it. Why, there is lightnin'; it can get down to the ground fast and easy all by itself, yet people goes and wastes their time a sticking up rods for it to slide down on." The True Realm of Women.— O£ the realm of home, woman is the queen, home takes its cue and its hue from her. If she is in the best sense* womanly, if she is true and tender, loving and heroic, patient and selfdevoted, she consciously or unconsciously organises and puts in operation a set of influences that do more to mould the destiny of the nation than any man, uncrowned by power or eloquence, can possibly do it.
