In every house there is one member who awakens earlier than the rest, and whose duty it is to get all the others out on time. It is usually the mother, and she has to see that her hus band is up on time for his work, that her sons and daughters who work down town get started in season, and get the little ones off for school. It by chance she lets any one oversleep, she is asked in a winning tone why she didn't call him earlier. She probably called a half dozen times, and he turned over and went to sleep again. Though she often has extra work of her own to do, she has to rely upon her own efforts to get up earlier. No one ever has to call the moth er of the house out of bed, but she has to serve as train dispat cher for the balance of the family, on scant pay and on thanks. Grand Millinery Opening. Mrs. M.
