0 MAKING THE MOST OF - ~ OUR CHILDREN A Series of Plain Talks to President of thf firrror Auo,iati<n. SOME children are taught to say merely the words, "I am sorry" as a matter of form, In circum stances which usually calll forth such an expression. Of course, it is true that even to say the words, "I am sorry," natural ly tends to arouse a proper feeling. But children should be taught that mere words are insufficient when they have caused some one to suffer; that definite action of ar ticles lost or broken —should follow. It is unfortunate that so .many of our children are allowed to grow up without even being taught to use courteous expressions. Let us see a typical case. A mother writes to me: "I have noticed that my children do not say courteous things and sometimes act ugly when with their little playmates.

THURSDAY EVENING, years of age, and X think that is 01-d enough that She ought to have learned to act nice like some of "her playmates, don't you think? Maybe I could teach her. If so, please' tell me ho?v?" Most certainly you can and should teach your children to show courtesy and genuine sympathy. Here is an account of a good way in which one mother "did it: Mrs. Swain wished td teach her little girls, Miriam, aged six, and Eva, aged four, to show sympathy and courtesy to those whom they had Injured or in any way incon venienced. In order to drill them in this she made a little game of it. "Let us have a little game, chil dren," said Mrs. Swain. "Eva, you 1 sit here in this chair and hold your doll. Now Miriam, you take a chair and place it near hers. Let the chair hit against the one on which Eva is sitting and when the chairs strike together, say: "I beg your pardon. I .am sorry." When she says that Eva must smile and reply, "I didn't mind." When they had finished this con structive play, Mrs. Swain told them to exchange places and play it over again. The next day she varied the game by having one of the girls seated and then asking the other to stumble against her, when the same words were used as before. Thej game was changed somewhat every day; but practically the same expres sions wore used so that the children learned to understand tlte use of the phrases they were employing. One day Mrs. Swain went to call •upon her friend, Mrs. Nicholson. 1 whose little daughter Lola showed Miriam her doll. Accidentally Miriam dropped the doll and broke its head. She immediately said, "I am sorry," and Lola tearfully tried to go on playing. When they returned home, Mrs. .Swain took Miriam to a store and had her select a doll head as nearly as possible like the broken one. On the following day Miriam was happy to give tljis new head.'to Lola to re place the one her carelessness had destroyed. Mrs. Swain privately requested Mrs. Nicholson to allow Lola to ac cept the gift for the sake -of Miriam's training. The latter point Is essential to the development of genuine Mere talking and cporalteirig about showing a sympathetic attitude may give the correct idea, but actual pracltce in executing it is necessary in order to teach a child properly. , Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service - -•„ By MclM l^' E ;suU,i wr fr=mii i ,, —i 'u ■I I j-> FQ U%e ?

Problems of a Girl Wife What wag there for me to say to Virginia? How could I tell her that I had gone to the Clinsarge to meet Pat Dalton, because I imagined that he still cared for her hoped she still loved him? How could I put into quick, smiting phrases my con viction that marriage is for all time —not until persons get tired and want to .change partners? Vlrgina had neVer mentioned her afTalrs to —how could 1 plunge into an inti mate discussion of them? All this Hashed across my mind as I stood facing the>battery of her ac cusing eyes. Slowjy I began to for mulate- words—sentences: "Virginia Phoebe isn't entirely wrong. X went to the Clinsarge be cause Mr. Hulton begged me "j— ' And then the men came into the room. Their after dinner chat was over,.and Virginia's dinner party was again a completed whole. Instead of Separate units. And Virginia and -I were again widely separated units. Jim llmp'ed over to his favorite sister's slde—Slieldon followed him, aqd Terry crossed to little, pouting Phoebe. That left me unprovided for, so of course, Anthony Norreys came to me. And I had a sudden sense of comfort and satisfaction and well being. "How he goes the Canteening, Mrs. Harrison?" asked Mr. .Norreys, who seems to have a way ill going straight to his subject without dal lying on by paths or introduction. "Are the women working with the same enthusiasm for peace heroes that they brought to the war-game?" "I think 30 —we've pledged for two years mor'e—and only enthusiasm Will help us to 'carry on,"' I replied, thankful for, the topic that gave ma a out of myself. <t, asked permission to help a biti you arrange it Jot me? Suppoa* T gave you a little fund— say a week—could you use it to feed the soldiers and sail ors wlio haven't anything but their TEXEGRJCPHT pay and are sending most of that home on allotment?" "Oh, Mr. Norreys—now that's just splendid," I cried. "Some of the boys look so longingly at the banana splits after they've had their meat and vegetables—and some of them fish out a dime and then study to see what they can get for that. It woujd be fine to tell these hungry lads that a kind unknown friend was—giving therti a party.'" "Then that is fitted. A hundred a week to your canteen —and you're , to report your donation to your com manding officer and make all your own arrangements. Shall we shake on it—friend partner?" I put my hand into the firm unwav ering grasp of his left hand. I look ed into the steady, unwavering gaze of his keen, kind eyes and an im pulsive phrase swept on my lips. "I can't tell you how grateful I am —or how; much I like being your 'partner.' I, was miserable when you came into the room all over some thing stupid I had dohe," I exclaimed with spontaneaus honesty. "And now I forgive myself, because I've been luoky enough to Interest you in my work." "I'll always be interested in your work, Mrs. Harrison." said Anthony Norreys, in his deep, kind voice. "You will always be finding good work to do in the world. And I want you. to feel that I'll always believe in it—■ and stand ready to aid. That seems to establish us as'friends,.doesn't it?" There was a quick catch as of pain in his voice. I felt- a sudden sense of Pity—and then the ludicrousness of it came over me. Why should I pity Anthony Norreys • rich, prominent and powerful? He didn't pity himself. He didn't mourn the loss of his right hand— nor regret his shattered health. H6 made the most of what he had saved 'frprd the hofaoost of war—and gave and took help with 'the Bame unself ish generosity. He seemed to sens# my thoughts.' "Are you pitying me?" he asked gently, "I don't want you to. I don't want you to be my friend because you are sorry for me. The privilege I bad of fighting—for the cause was worth two arms, and a leg, too, for good measure! What it did to my body doesn't matter, it gave me my soul. And now the after war work is i giving you to me—as a friend, isn't it, Mrs. Harrison." "Im so proud. So proud!"' I said happily ai\d contentedly. "To think that you should be asking for my friendship! Why—l'm only an un tried, unproved girl—and you're a big man. Having you believe in me makes mq believe in Barbara Anne." "Have you ever doubted her?." ask ed Mr. Norreys. "I never have— never from the day Terry brought me to meet her. Barbara Anne Harrison is a real person." I "You make me believe in myself. There's nothing finer and kinder a man can do for a woman than that," I said. All the pain of the ugly friendship Tom Mason had forced upon me all the disappointment rising from Jim's failure to understand and pro-i tect me—seemed suddenly to become unreal, to waver away out of exist ence. I had a friend at last. A fine, loyal friend who would expect who would demand, even—that I be the I best Barbara Anne Harrison I was capable of. being. Across the room came Jlrri—and he stood close to 1116 with an air of pos session—with the first show of jeal ousy I'd ever seen from him. "Well—boss, don't you think you've monopolized my little girl for a pret ty long tithe?", lie asked. His words were bantering, but there wasn't a flicker of laughter in his .voice. , To Be Continued.

"v ' ■" -■ - —V- ■ --- LIFE'S PROBLEMS ; ARE DISCUSSED Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I am sixteen years old and a sten ographer. Every Wednesday eve ning several girls whom I have known even since I was a child meet at one another's houses and we all knit and chat. Hast Wednesday, while at my home, we were all crit icising each other's faults, and when It came my turn one of the girl's said: "Dorothy has one great big fault, and that is that she sympa* thizes too much with herself." Now, Mrs. Woodrow, this aston ished me as well as the other girls. For a days I could not help but think about It, and 1 am still think ing about it most of the time, and I am sorry to ,say that I found out It was the truth. But I am very de spondent now, for I do not know liow I can ever overcome such a thing. Please write an article on the cure for self-sympathizers and greatly oblige a girl who is much worried over a very serious fault. Very gratefully yours. DOROTHY M. Dear Dorothy, I do not think you had a very nice party. I know that when one is sixteen, one can enjoy almost anything, but I can easily imagine a more entertaining qnd amusing, not to mention profitable way of spending an evening than at tending a sort of .mental clinic and ruthlessly dissecting the poor, shrinking, quivering faults of one's self and one's friends. I am sure all of you girls thought you were being helpful to each oth er, as well as showing great person al heroism when each of you took the criticism leveled at you stoically and good naturedly and determined to profit by it, and then nerved your self up to the point of administering the same treatment that you had • | . ■ H ' u ! i ■' 4 /•.-, Even with the big demand for Holsum Bread there is a constantly increasing patronage for this delicious and thoroughly well baked bread.

But we can only judge of the efficacy of anything by its re sults, so let us consider the effects of this nothing-but-the-truth caus erie. Every girl present on that Wed nesday evening was probably affect ed by this searchlight of criticism very much as you were, and by your own account you were at first aston ished at this new and unflattering picture of yourself, and then it filled your mind to the exclusion of every thing else. You thought it over and over. You considered It from every angle. Then came the painful real ization that it was the truth. Now I ask you did this clear up the whole thing for you? Not at., all. It merely produced a feeling of despondency, which was followed by discouragement. And that isn't the worst of it. You are stlll uwor rying over it, and making yourself ÜBhappy. You are paying yourself so much • for pitying yourself, that you are quite miserable. The cure my dear, is simple— so simple that you may treat it with scorn. You may think lam taking your perplexity lightly, and talking down to you in a superior, there little-girl-dont-ct-y way, because you are very young. I assure you that I am doing nothing of the kind. I am giving you the one real remedy for your bother, it is this —forget it! What if you are inclined to re gard yourself as imposed upon and ill-treated now and then? Such imaginings are not penal offenses. And why should you expect to be ex empt from faults, wheft they flour ish in such rank and untrimmed luxuriance in most of us? The early Puritans had a dreary pastime over which they wasted much time. They called It examin ing their hearts for hidden and un suspected* traces of evil. The re sult was that they got a horrible conviction' of having committed something they called the Unpar donable Sin, and they frequently saw the devil In visible form, which appalling apparition sometimes frightened them into fits. If you want to look Into your own heart, look into it to discover how full it is of laughter and good will, how great is its joy of lift, and if instead of these pleasant and agree able things, you see nothing but faults, slam the door of that heart quickly and run away out into the sunshine and fresh air. If you go about with the idea that you have one great, glaring fault which every one is likely to notice and condemn and that you must be constantly on the lookout to keep it from showing its hydra head, you will be self-conscious, shy and ulti mately one of those depressed, sup pressed beings who add nothing to the gayety of nations. You would not have written to me if you had believed that my knowl edge of human nature, life and the world is greater than yours. You being only sixteen, I have no hesi tation In saying that it is. There fore, I reiterate what I said, before: Forget that you have a tendency to pity yourself. If you find yourself moaning about the way some one has treated you, laugh and regard it as nonsense. And the next time you and your friends meet, for good ness sake take up the interesting topic of each other's charms and virtues. | EFFICIENCY SPELLS SUCCESS Take n Bualneas Count Under Speclnllutn.
