How Shall i eaise my child?
' IS QUESTION ASKED M'LISS
Correspondent Whose Husband Subverts Her
Discipline Worrifes About Upbringing
of Her Girl
fpo THE four things which Solomon dc
-l. clared to be most difileult ot compre
nnlon, I wish to add a fUtht It Is the
way that somo persona, havo of believing
they know how to raise other persons'
children.
I hdva never been one of these. True,
X havo my views, which Include certain
Well-deflned rules of how to "bring up"
and how not to "bring up" that Juvenile
species of humanity variously known as
"Heaven's own angels" and "limbs of
Baton."
One of these rules Is that a child must
not bq whipped; that corporal punishment
exercised by a grown marf or woman
toward a human being, smaller, weaker
physically and mentally than himself, Is
not only a demonstration of Incapacity
and unfitness on the part of the older per
son to bo the mentor of the younger, but
sows tho seeds of hato and, rebeltton In
the heart of tho child, which It Is nothing
short of criminal to place- tharo.
To those opponents of moral suasion
who cr,y out, "But thoro aro some chil
dren so obstinate, so altogether disobedi
ent and mischievous as to mako moral
suasion a laughing matter," I would
reply, "If tho child Is of such a perverse
temperament that patience, moral suasion
and love fails to Influence It, I cannot
seo what can bo accomplished by beating
It, except tho relief of your own feelings."
As a means of giving vent to outraged
patience and nerves, I can think of no
hotter way than of beating a child, but I
should hesitate a long whllo before ad-
, vising any ono to adopt that method.
In vlow of these opinions that I enter
tain I shall fall hopelessly to satisfy tho
wrltor of the following letter, who has
come to mo for advlco and Justification
in the policy she has adopted toward
her B-year-old girl. All that I can give
her Is sympathy. Tho problem of train-
v lng a, child Is a doubly vexatious one
when parents do not co-operato, and I
feel sure tho reason my correspondent's
Uttlo girl Is giving her troublo Is in no
small measure due to tho fact that tho
youngster realizes she has a companion
In sin her father.
I do not believe that petting a child
ever spoiled It. I'm for tho petting, but
It Is ruinous for tho mother and father to
be at sixes and sevens over Its upbring
ing. And If the father does not respect
the mother's mandates In regard to tho
offspring, how can tho young ones them
selves be asked to regard It?
Discipline- is necessary for the success

MARION HARLAND'S CORNER
To Complete a Quilt
T am an old lady, living- alone, and a soldier's
widow, Belcs lonely. I piece quilts. I have
one now that I should like to finish, but hnve
run out of pieces. Perhaps you mlrht. In your
pood list of readers, find some one who would
be kind enough to let me know where I could
tret somo pieces to complete my quilt?
MRS, E.
"A soldier's widow!" The memory of
our latest and glorious Memorial Day
should be fresh enough In our minds to
make us thrill at the three words. And
she Is lonely, seeking, as do hundreds of
other "detached" women, to cheat the lag.
Blng hours into speed by piecing quilts.
Shaft we finish the Incomplete spread for
her, or rather with her? We hold her ad
dress with that intention in mind.
Crochet Patterns Wanted
I wish some of your kind readers would send
sne a few crochet patterns. I would like yokes,
dslnfs for underwear, also some edslnss for
handkerchiefs. And. if I am not asklnr too
much, could some one send roe a sample of the
curtains made from paper and beads I I will
cay postage. I have some pretty yoke patterns:
also pieces for aullts, I shall be pleased to
send tbem to any one who wishes them and
will Pay postage. NORA. Q.
As our working members have a way
of doing, you hold out one empty and one
full hand. Fancy workers, who can spare
patterns they have already used, are in
vited to contribute to her stock, and to
make a note of her donations. It goes
without saying that the pieces will be
snapped up as soon as the news gets abroad
that they are to be had for the asking
and the postage paid.

Dear MXlss I am a dally reader of
your column, and am glad to write that I
always learn something from your arti
cles, and, therefore, would appreciate it
very much If you will write an article In
regard to my Uttlo story.
It Is a problem that confronts me dally,
and I am suro any answer you will give
will enlighten me. I am a married
woman, 24 years old, and havo one daugh
ter, 6 years old. My husband Is In busi
ness and Is successful. Ho Is an only
child, his parents aro wealthy, and ho Is
sort of patted and spoiled.
I, on tho other hand, come from a fam
ily of nine flvo brothers and four sisters.
Our home life Is happy. My husband ts
generous, he makes a good father and an
excellent husband. I havo a maid, we
go away on a vacation nice clothes, and
go out a. great deal,
But when It Is a question of correcting
my girl, my husband will always correct
me, so tho child neither obeys her daddy
nor myself. Ho was never whipped or
punished, and does not want mo to do so
to our baby. But my Uttlo daughter Is
doveloplng a nice selfish streak, which I
must break, and also Is beginning to dis
obey me. Thero Is whoro tho breach lies.
My parents were vory strict with us,
being so many, and I want to bring my
child up In the same way. I do not llko to
argue with my husband about his man
ner In front of tho child, so wait until she
Is away, and about that tlmo he has
already forgotten what has happened,
nnd ho smiles nnd says there's nothing to
do but wait until she grows up.
In othor words, ho can't seo through
our child, only seo her, and ho Is so
wrapped up in her that he thinks It Is
cute when she says "No." My husband
Is spoiled, but I give Into the little things,
becauso I feel that his good qualities over
balance those potty ways, and In tho long
run I am better off. But I don't want to
bring up my daughter a spoiled child,
n,nd perhaps some day hor husband will
comment on her being brought up bo.
My dear M'LIss, you understand what
my story is, and I hope you will under
stand tho position I am placed In, and
write something that I can show my hus
band, and perhaps ho will change his
way. MBS. L.

For the X-Ray Skirt
The fulness of the smart skirts and tho
berumed frllllners of tho summer girl's pet
ticoats do not keep her from assuming an
X-ray transparency when Bhe stands In the
strong sunlight. So, In response to tho de
mand for something to counteract this ca
lamity without doing away with tho frllll
ness of the underskirts, the shops aro show
ing sunproof aprons.
These aprons nro long enough to reach to
the bottom of tho skirt nnd nro finished with
a dainty lace ruflle nt thd edge They are
fashioned of somo heavy material, but the
weight Is not uncomfortnblo, because the
apron Is worn at the front, tying around
the waist with a plain tape.
At the lower corners of tho apron, which
Is about tho width of the front panel of
the average petticoat, aro two tiny rustle's
safety pins, which hold It to the petticoat
proper. Tho girl who wears one of theso
under hor voile or organdie gown may dare
the strongest sunlight without embarrass
ment. Home Disinfectant
If you don't tako possession of your
summer homo until late in tho summer,
It Is probably musty from being closed up
so long. A pleasant and thorough disin
fectant Is mado by tilling a saucer with
fresh coffee grounds, with a lump of gum
camphor In tho centre. Light tho camphor
with a match, and when It burns, let It

Ironing Convenience
Every ono who has used an electric Iron
knows what a nuisance It Is to have the
cord catching on everything. Vnrlous de
vices have been used to prevent this, and
tho latest, according to tho Popular Science
Monthly, Is the arm cord. This has a bracelet-sort
of arrangement which fits on the
arm above the elbow, thus allowing the coid
to follow the movements of the arm ex
actly. The Idea Is a good ono; it does away
with the trouble of continually undoing
knots In the cord, and dodging new entan
glements. FRIENDS' SELECT SCHOOL

GARDEN QUERIES ANSWERED
By JOHN DARTRAM
Trouble With Musk-melons j
It. II. Ths muakmelons ars among tha
choicest products ot ths garden, but they
nro not easily cultivated. If yours ara well
started, however, thera Is no reason why
they should not be kept In good shape.
They are very exacting in that they re
quire a special degree of moistura and
heat. They must be carefully and systemat
ically cultivated, too. The hoe is the beet
thing to uso for this purpose, though It
is not so easy to handle ns the wheel
cultivator. Never permit the earth to be
come baked or enked about tho musk
melons. Keep the earth mellow nnd fine
about the plant, malting n, dust mulch In
droughty spelts. It is possible you havo
not a large lot of them, so pour a few
bucketfuls of water about the roots every
other night A mutch of grass clippings
from tha lawn will be helpful. The ravages
of the striped bectlo and tho squash bug
must bo guarded against. Perhaps the best
thing for them Is to duet the stems of the
vines, taking care to reach tho under sides
also, with air-slaked lime or wood ashes.
These bugs eat tho pith of the stems and
once they make an entry tho vino 18,1081.
Tho same general advice applies to all
the cucurbits, as they are called, Including
squashes, pumpkins and cucumbers.
Flowers for Late Planting
Hentcr. It Is possible even for tho renter
who Is to be In tho country for tho sum
mer months to make some sort of a floral
showing. You can plant nasturtiums In tho
new nnd brilliant shades, mnrlgolds, which
glvo a brave display of yellow orange and
gold tints In tho new varieties If they aro
given a sunny situation,- mignonette, which
should bo planted at weekly Intervals for
a succession, portulaca, alt from seeds l(
tho seedbed Is kept well watered and the
seedlings aro carofully transplanted. It Is
also possible to buy aatets, geraniums and
scarlet saga In thrifty plants.
Spraying for Mildew on Limas
S. T. H. The mildew on lima beans,
either polo or bush, can bo counteracted
by spraying with bordeaux arsenate. Uso
a scant teaspoonfut of tho prepared Bort
which costs about 25 cents a pound to a
Novel Serving Tray
An easy way to ring a variation on tho
ordinary serving trny Is to paint the Inttlnls
of tha owner on it In gold or colors. Ite
movo tho bottom of tho tray, nnd use tho
old English or Itoman letters, transferring
them with n piece of carbon paper right
on to tha tray's snrfneo. Uso oil paints and
outline with black paint.
When the paint hns dried oUt, coat tho
whole thing with light shellac. This makes
certain colors look much brighter and more
"llvo" than they really arc, especially
orange, yellow, tan, red and blnck. Used
ovor blue, shellac makes IU take on a
greenish tinge. The effect Is like a coat
of yellow paint.
Removing Putty
Old putty spots look very untidy when
they are stuck on the kitchen window
panes. A red-hot poker passed over them
will melt them off right away, as will any
hot Instrument.

Annette Kellermann on the
Dangers of Shark -Infested
Bathing Beaches
ANNETTE KELLERMANN, the world's
best woman swimmer, learned her won
derful strokes within the shark-proof in
cisures of Australian bathing beaches. She
has an extensive experience of shark-infested
waters. The bays of Jamaica (where
her new photoplay was filmed) are beset by
them, and the man-eater is better known on
the Australian beaches than in any other
Djace in the world. Australia protects the
ives of bathers by simple yet thoroughly re
iable methods, which this wonderful woman
swimmer outlines in her article. This story
of the dangers of the "Tiger of the Sea," and
how to combat him, should be read by every
sea bather' and bathing beach proprietor, ft

quart of waler. Try to reach the under
side of the leaves also. This can be done
with a little neck which is attached to the
hose of tho ordinary sprayer. The arse
nate will be efllcncloua In stopping tho
ravages of the black fly, which causea the
leaves to curl nnd wither.
The Newer Geraniums
S. T. Young. The newer varieties of
geraniums are very beautiful and not at all
ns homely ns the old bred reds and dusty
yellows. Try tha beautiful soft salmon
pink Beauto Poltovalne, tho soft white Sla
dame Recamler, tha H A. Nutt, a deep
crimson, or the Marquis do Castellano, In
two lovely shades of red.
Making Hydrangeas Dluo
Warren We answered this question to
the best of our knowledge n few weeks
back. Wo have heard that Iron filings dug
In around tho herbaceous hydrangeas will
give a deep blue color. However, some of
tho varieties are naturally blue in blos
soming. This would be the Bureet way
to get the result you desire. Wo havo also
heard that cpsom salts dug In the soli
will create the desired coloring. After tho
hydrangeas havo bloomed they will bo a
bit exhausted by their efforts and should
bo given some nutrition. Tho best thing
to do In this emergency Is to glvo a dress
ing of bono meal, several large tablespoon
fuls to each plant. Then In tho fnll, late,
glvo n generous dressing of well-rotted
manure, piled up about tho stalks and over
the roots area. Do not cut the stalks
down till spring, nfter tho bud3 havo he
gun to form, whon it is nit right to prune
out the dead wood. All of the stalkn wltl
took dead In tho winter, but tho leaf nnd
flower buds are thrown out on theso event
ually. It Is a common mistake to cut tho
soft or herbaceous hydrangeas down to
the ground, and tho result Is that tho
roots havo a doublo duty to perform and
will not bloom tho ensuing season.
Cucumbers
8. W. Cool nnd Crisp Is ono of the most
reliable varieties of cucumbers. Greiyi
Pickling is another excellent sort, espe
cially for tho purpose designated In tho
tltlo. It is not too Into to plant cucumbers
now.
Mackerel for Breakfast ,
Time wns when no good Phltadctphlan
would go without mackerel for hl3 Sunday
morning breakfast. Hero Is the way it was
prepared: Clean tho fish well, season with
pepper, salt nnd dust with fine bread
crumb3. If you hnvo none, uso Hour in
stead. Have a frying pan smoking hot,
with Just enough fat In It to keep tho fish
from burning. When tho fat gives oft a
bluish smoke, It Is ready. Lay your fish
In It, and quickly brown on both sides. Now
cover your pan, rcduco tho heat, nnd let It
cook slowly for 10 or 15 minutes moro,
depending on tho slso,of tho fish.
Squab for the Invalid
A squab cooked according to theso direc
tions won't harm tho sick stomach. Clean
the squab, split It opon, lay on a thickly
buttered pan and sprinkle over with salt
nnd pepper. Cover with nnother buttered
pan nnd steam until tender. Servo plain
or with hot brown sauce.
Nutmeg Cookies
Mix two cupfuls of Btigar, three-quarters
of n cupful of butter, two-thirds of a cupful
of sour milk, nutmeg, two eggs, a teaspoon
ful of soda and enough flour to roll. Roll
out quite thin nnd bake In a quick oven.
