e 4 Wirst

Nerve Strain, Weariness, Exhaustion-

To enable me to wear well, says George Hirst, the celebrated Yorkshire cricketer, to get the best out of paeself, Phosferine is wonderfully effect- ive, and imparts a marvellous reserve of staying power. Speaking of these very same unique advantages possessed by Phosferine, Charles Gardiner, the winner of the 1909 Marathon, said "Phosferine permanently. invigorates and tones up the system, and, in fact, proved my greatest mainstay."

Wherever men gain distinction by severe mental or physical effort, fight pluckily and cheerfully against great odds, it is always upon Phosferine they rely for the power and energy to see them through. To Gardiner, struggling through beat and dust, it meant victory, to George Hirst, overwrought with the nervous tensity and suspense of a critical game, Phosferite means the steady nerves and staying power which enable him to wear well. The splendid form which distinguishes George Hirst's wonderful play, testifies to the energising potency of Phosferine, which, says the redoubtable cricketer, dispels all the exhaustion and weariness caused by prolonged batting and bowling under a hot sun.

Quite Naturally Overcome.

G. H. Hirst, the wonderful Yorkshiro cricketer, Kirkheaton, Yorks, writes "I have found that after a very hard day's work in the cricket field, when my system has felt exhausted and my whole body weary, Phosferine always exerts a wonderfully refreshing, stimulative and restorative effect. When my nerves have been greatly overwrought by the excitement and strain of prolonged bowling and batting under a hot sun, your preparation both calms and strengthens them, and enables me to wear well throughout the most trying season. Phosferine endows one with marvellous staying power, and its timely use wards off all the ill-consequences to which athletes are especially prone from the nature of their calling-exposure, &c."-May 7, 1909,

"HOW I BLUNDERED WITH MY

CHILDREN."

A MOTHER IN THE CONFESSIONAL

And little Malsis-how is bar love affair progressing " was a question put in my pre sence the other day by one mother to another. The other mother looked absolutely blank.

But Maisie has no love affair of which I Am aware," she stammered at last, and her interlocutor glided away from the subject with sasy grace. But I saw how she had hart, how she had startled Maisie's mother.

She saddened me, too, for I have known the bitterness of hearing from others intimate news children that they ought to have concerning my told to me themselves, and of which I ought to have been aware without being told at all.

Now that my boys and girls are grown up men and woman I can look back and see the mistakes: I made in their ap-bringing, as it affected their personal relations with me, as. clearly as if they were written down in black

and white..

I can accuse myself of being the means of happiness lasking in my dealings with my children and judge myself with the extreme and crack severity summed up in those hard words, "all your own fault."

WHEN SHE COULD HAVE HELPED. The terms we were on in their childhood wore. pleasant terms. I always felt that I was at their disposal, to come to in all difenlties, to confide in, to depend upon for help. I have that fundamental assurance now,

Bat I wonder, yes, I do in my heart of hearts wonder many a time, whether they have ever been in any kind of dilemma that they felt I could esse; whether they have ever needed assistance, advice, or comfort that they felt I could give? I suppose not, for they have never come to me for it.

FASHIONS AND FANCIES.

GARDEN PARTY DRESS. The garden party sonson has been marred by the uncertainty of the weather hitherto, which has prevented it from being as airy and fluffy it might have been, although it is difficult to imagine what the gowns would have been like if the suu had shone, for they were ornate in the extreme. The balated sunshine that graced the Duchitas of Sutherland's garden party on Monday, however, brought out a crop of butterflies in very wonderful hues. Perhaps butterflies cannot strictly be said to come out in crops, but the human kind does, insomuch as it is attached to the ground owing to its lack of wings.

EVENING DEESE IN DAYLIGHT.

We shall have to wear blue sorge bathing suits at balls and dinnera before long, if we want to make any difference between the garb of the evening, A low-ant dross, of the most di- phanous kind and the paleet hue, lightly filled up with transparent talls, wmbroidered profusely in gold and silver and jewels, and worn with plenty of diamond ornaments and enough pearl rope to practise lassoing with, is now quite a corr

correct costume for an afternoon function, even in the open air. It is not remarkable, let alone con- spionous. Our grandmothers- but then grand- mothers have probably been notable ever since the death of Eve for the frights they would have had if they had lived to see the "goinge-on” of the second generation. Besides, it is the grand- mothers of to-day who de most of the startling. A woman of this ago enters the heyday of her youth at the font of her first grandchild. At say rate, it is her golden age-or possibly suburn.

Why did my children choose their father as confidant instead of their mother? Perhaps it is that he did not fuss when brought face to face with little fauits and minor pecendillons.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES,

As for me, when I caught my children squabbling, se children will, I saw them in my mind's eys wrangling their way through life, and lectured them sonndly on their iniquities, I took them too seriously, frightened them by my excessive solemnity, made them dumb when I would have had them outspoken, looked their lipa when I longed for a torrent of words.

"I

I assumed my most saddened and outraged expression and mounted the judgment sent with noguish written on my fact when I was confronted by a problem in child ethics, whereas my husband kept himself outside the affair altogether, and listened to his children's woes and troubles with this sentiment only expressed by his looks and manner, that he was there to help them as their natural protector and the being among all others relegated to the duty. He was just father"-I thair critic.

But the fact that it was to him that the children gave their confidence was the caust, inevitable cause,

as I think, of several differences between us from time to time, for. I could not see myself supplanted even by my husband without suffering the keen pangs of maternal jealousy, and showing that I felt the wounds. Only another can appreciate my attitude and can sympathise with my apparently illogical

resentment.

It is generally supposed that modern mothers neglect their children and are indifferent to them, leaving them to the care of nurses and governesses to whom all their confidences go.

WOUNDED BY NEGLECT. But, looking back, I see myself and many other mothers of my temperament obsessed by our maternal duties, and yet never getting ang nearer to intimacy with our broods, I took thom too much to heart, 1 suppose, and, by making too much fuss over trifles, scared them away to other people when they really wanted the comfort of a confidant.

Many mothers,

ers, like myself, constantly lament that their children are not different from what

they are. The sentiment is tandable when there are real faults to eradicate, provided tho altoration is worked for quietly intent of being made the subject of futile complaint to the bairns themselves, who, poor doare, are in capable

When my boys and girls came to me with their little childish tronbles, instead of listoning to their griefs I resented the time they took in telling me of them, and remember bidding them not to worry me.

So they got into the habit of not worrying me, and drifted farther and farther away from

How well I recollect how wounded I felt when I heard of my oldest son's engagement. The wife he chose was just the very wife I myself would have chosen for him. Yet I was unhappy, because he had not let me know beforehand that he was trying to win her, or even that he cared for her at all

THE SHAWL EFFECT AGAIN. There is something so essentially old-world about the very word shawl that we are always immensely surprised when we find ourselves elaborately trying to look as though we were wearing them. Yet we endeavour to do about once in four years. Many of the smartest gowns of to-day have the shawl effect on the skirt, and the Queen's scarves have this year been drawn so closely down over her shoulders that they have caused quite a revival in early Victorian shoulders. Some of the straight scarves are made so deep that they are almost the shawls, and the shaped ones are made with same iden, Worn with a champagne-coloured cloth ilress the other day was a shaped scarf, through loops in which the arms were passed, of champagne-coloured chiffon, edged with flose- silk embroideries in tones of blue and amber. On the shoulders the embroideries were solid and weighty, holding the garment in place. In front it narrowed into long points, quite in the old-fashioned shawl manner.

- DIAILLOTS AND FLOUNCES. The maillot frocks which are so fashionable for morning wear have led to revival of the fosse for short skirts. Paris can do marvellous thiriga with flounces, and her latest endeavour is quito indescribable tour-de-force, in which. all the folds go in directions quite incomprehen sible, and attain a perfectly illogical effect. As directions to a dressmaker, this description might seem not to definito, but when the Rue de la Paix exerts itself what lay-woman may hope to put the result into words? It behores the congregation to be silent when the high priest speaks. The more everyday flounces, to descend to the speakable, are perfectly straight, and very fall and deep, and run on with a little heading. The shaped flounces are inadmissible, since they flow out round the foot, and the folds of the moment should be as straight and almost as crisp as the rods of thunder-rain.

HATS OF THE MOMENT.

Of this year's bats there is always something to my. I saw me the other day which was eight inches wide in the brim on the left said, three inches wide on the right, and nine inches across the crown. It was trimmed with two cherries and a band of ribbon six inches wide. Another hat in gold, with ramparts of gold feathers all round its crown, making of that crown an impenetrable Robinson Crusoe's house, was not merely gold in colour, but was of golden tissue. An enormous black hat was. trimmed with a bunch of grapes, of which in point of size and number Ceunan itself might have been proud, but they and the very long- bearded barley round the rest of the hat were of the porest whito. Huge bows of

gold and silver tissue trim some of the hats, and quan- tities of lace bows are also seen. Some of them mast take five or six yards of lace to make. A argo blue Oriental turban of swathed chiffon is strange, but becoming-X. AND Z. in the Globe.
