29. Two things should be included in the education of every girl she should be taught practically the value and use of money, and she should be trained to do some sort of work by which she can earn a livelihood, if need be. . . Any girl, with a proper personal pride and individuality will learn to like the independence which a system of allowance gives. To have to ask for every article of dress or luxury is somewhat galling to young people, and when it is in a home where strict economy must be practical, it is sometimes a source of great pain.

A girl should learn some one thing thoroughly, by which she may support herself, if necessary. When a woman knows she is competent to earn a living, it will not hurt her if she does not need to use her ability. If misfortune threatens, the knowledge that she is not helpless saves many an hour of heart-sickening despondency, and, if misfortune does come, she is equipped to meet it.

S. B. H.-Century.

30. "Work while you have light," especially while you have the light of morning. The happiness of your life, and its power, and its part and rank in earth or in heaven, depend on the way you pass your days now. They are not to be sad days; far from that, the first duty of young people is to be delighted and delightful; but they are to be in the deepest sense solemn days. Now, therefore, see that no day passes in which you do not make yourself a somewhat better creature. RUSKIN.

Health is a means to an end. It is an investment for the future. That end is worthy work and noble living. MARY A. LIVERMORE.

31. My fairest child, I have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave with you
For every day.

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever ;
Do noble things, not dream them, all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand, sweet song.

CHARLES KINGSLEY.

I shall always be very glad to be asked on your birthday, and to come if you will let me, and to send my love to you, and to wish that you may live to be very old and very happy, which I do now with all my heart.
