"I will see the undertaker, Mrs. Chapin. I will come back and talk | arrangements over with you." i Goirtg out into the hall she talked with the men for a few minutes, then returned to the widow. "Now, dear," she said, "there are several questions that must be asked. The iirst one of them is when and where do you want the funeral services?" "Oh. at the church, of course, hut not till Clifford gets here!" the wid ow sobbed. "Oh, what's that?" as the telephone rang. Finds Consolation in Dove When Elizabeth answered the summons she was informed by the telegraph office that two telegrams had come for the farm. One was from Clifford. He would be with his mother in less than three days. The other was from Douglas Wade, informing his sister that he was leaving immediately for New Hampshire. When Mrs. Chapin heard the news her grief subsided perceptibly. "Just you tell the men to do what's got to be done till Clifford jgets here," she urged. "Then he'll j see to everything. Will you tell them that, dear?" { "Certainly," Elizabeth promised. I When she had done the widow's I bidding sho stood uncertainly in the ! hall. She longed to get away.

How far oft that time seemed! Sh.e slipped her oars -an, sitting under the drooping branches of the willows, mused on all that had passed'since that golden morning. She recalled what John had said then about his sister, and how startled she (Elizabeth) had been to think that Douglas was probably in love with a girl whom she had never seen. Now she knew that her entire viewpoint had changed. She loved Douglas dearly and wanted him to come to her. But John was the dearest thing in the world to her. Well, nothing could affect his love for her or hers for him. t She sat quiet until the realiza tion of this great fdct had sunk so deeply into her soul that she was brave enough to face the harassing present.

"While you was out a man came up from Midland and brought you this," she said. "He's waiting on the side stoop for an answer." She held out an envelope addressed in John Butler's handwriting. The girl's fingers closed on it eagerly. With a muttered "Thank you!" she ran toward her room. The in stinct to ire alone to read what John had written was uppermost in her mind.

He wanted to know if we wouldn't rather have him come over here and stay till young Chapin comes home- —that is, you know, at nights. What do you think of it? "Why"—Elizabeth tried to gather her scattered wits —"that must be as I thought you might feel safer having a man sleeping here." Mrs. Chapin thinks best. Ask her. But—why—do you think it's nec essary to have Mr. Miller here? I mean—Jou see we will have Mr. Butler —by evening anyway—and if Mr. Miller would rather stay at home"— She stopped abruptly, arrested by tha gleam of interest that had crept into the neighbor's eyes. Mrs. Miller came half way up the flight of stairs where Elizabeth stood and when she spoke it was in a stage whisper.

Beery, A.8., \T , y President of the Parents Association. (Copyrighted. 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.) No. 37. How to Tcacli Self-Control YOU can't teach a child self-con- I trol by talking or exhorting. Were it possible to do this, the average child would be perfectly self-controlled, because the majority of children are talked to a-plenty. An illustration from Practical Child Training will be helpful to persons who wish to teach self-con trol to their children. But a child is influenced more by what you do than by what you say. Let us take an example. A mother writes: "My four-year-old daughter has fallen into the habit of letting her self 'go <ftl to pieces' and screaming when any little thing goes wrong. When everything goes smoothly, she is sweet as can be. Please advise me what to say or do when she loses control of herself." When your child is in the midst of an outburst of temper, it is not the proper time to say or do any thing except to remain calm. Of course, you must see that your daughter gains nothing by her un becoming actions. When she is screaming and you realize that by doing a certain thing for her she will stop, it is a most natural thing to do just that. But bear in mind that it is this very practice on the part of someone in the home 4hat is at least partially responsible for the daughter's present habit. You need not go so far as to try to make her suffer for having started to scream. It is the better policy simply to arrange that she does not. profit in any way as the result of doing it. There is a great tendency on the part of adults to be influenced by "Tell Me How To Be Beautiful" Get Rid of All Pimples, Black heads and Skin Eruptions.

The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week —October 26th —clarifies the war news so as to gi.ve.fhe reader a grasp of the entire subject. That "only military reasons could have compelled tne grovelling Teuton pleas for peace was clear'enough even if a leading German newspaper had not made the confession. "Only military'reasons" in the shape of Allied victories from "Dixmude to Damascus" accounted for the reported revival of gaiety in Paris, while neutral observers told how in Berlin "everybody wants to group together just as before great disasters."

NEW YORK practical way. It follows: A parent may be perfectly calm, all day long; everything may go along smoothly until after tbfi, evening meal, when, let us say, a dish falls in a crash. Suppose the dish falls at just seven o'clock. The mother is calm just before seven and also five minutes after seven, but mark this: she has an oppor tunity in those five minutes (be tween seven and five minutes after seven) to give her child a lesson in either self-control or unbridled passion which will influence the child far more than her quietness during all the rest of the day. This point is very important. Many a mother gives her child impressive lessons in anger because she does not realize the importance of con tinued control. She considers that her greater number of quiet mo ments will more than offset the very few in which she shows her temper. But this is a mistake. You need not wait long for an opportunity to give a lesson in self control by example. Little annoy ing situations will frequently arise. As soon as the first one comes— 'say to yourself: "Here is an opportunity to give my OCTOBER 25, 1918. child the best lesson that it is pos sible to give in self-control." Then show you child how to act. Your child gradually will improve as a result of your example.
