Berry careful, mothers, when you
re2Ek dand your children, that you do IL
in just and truthful words. We are
SO apt to let our Indifferent moods and
lenses control us, and speak and act
from impulse instead Of good judg-
ment in dealing with the little ones.
Tommy's mother sat sewing in her
rocking chair one afternoon. 1t was
one Of those days when things had been
going ut cross purposes In the domes-
tic department. She felt exasperated
and irritated us she sat alone thinking
over the unpleasant state of affairs.
At an inopportune moment Tommy
came rushing u2 stairs, plunged into
the room with a great stow of enthus-
iasn, and in his haste 30 get to his
mothers side overturned Der tall work
basket which stood by her chair. Tom
my was the bearer of important news;
he had passed in his arithmetic exam
ination. Notwithstanding his mothers
anxiety lest he should not, and had
reached high mark in that study
which had always been difficult one
to him. This had insured him promo
ton to a higher grade. Surely his
mother would be as proud and happy
as queen of her boy. But the over
turning Of the work-basket, with the
overturning in her mind of the things
that had gone cross-grained that day,
quite overcame her justice and happy
sympathy.
"Oh, Tommy" she exclaimed, you
are the very worst boy in the world!
You are always sure to do some mis-
chief or other, when you come home.
I fairly dread the time when you come
home from school!'
What a chill had been thrown over
Tommys enthusiasm! He was aston
ished at his mothers estimation of him.
1.-The worst boy in the world!' He does
not remember when he has had such a
mishap before, and yet his mother says
he is sure to do some mischief every
times he comes into the house.
That dear loving mother would have
risen in righteous Indignation had any
one else spoken untruthfully and I'M
Justly of her Tommy. Later when that
mother came to herself, she was very
sorry for the petulant words she had
spoken and had made it all right with
Tommy as true, noble mothers always
do toward their children when they
know thew have been in the wrong,
Ill %ho Of fh0f
first sore shock will never be quite done
away.
Oh, if we could only put aside busi-
ness troubles, vexations, and our own
misdoings, and not visit them upon the
heads and hearts of our little children!
They are not to blame for the existence
of our different moods, but unconscious
ly our disturbing elements get into
their atmosphere and clouds it over.
There are times when we should justly
censure, but let us always do it in gen.
tie. grieved tones, and not in exasperat-
ing words. There is no such grand
power in molding character as that of
love and justice combined with gentle
ness and kindness.-Susan Teall Perry,
in The Evangelist.
Summertime Cooking.
For dinner, where a course dinner
is necessary, serve also the simplest
things possible, writes Frances E. Ian
igan in the July Ladies' Home Journal
Vary the first course by commencing
!, once in a while with clans served on
the half shell, a creamed fish served in
Scallop shells, or any cream OF vegeta
BILE soup, or cold consomme. Lamt
chops garnished with peas or tomatoes
fried fish served with sauce tarture
sliced cucumbers; broiled or fried chick
en- for the next course. Potatoes need
not form part of the sumner dinner
Until the new ones come, rice or spag
hetti may serve as q substitute. OF
summer vegetables there are always an
abundance to choose from. A salad
course should always be included in
the summer dinner menu. Lettuce
endive asparagus and sorrel are a few
of the greens which are available FOL
serving with either French or i
mayonnaise dressing. Crackers and
| cheese are a necessary accompaniment
of the salad course.
Keep to simple desserts, and, when
possible, to cold ones during the sum
mer months Custard, either baked OF
, boiled, may be served in a variety OF
ways; curds and whey, lemon jelly
with whipped cream, blanc mango
baked apples and cream. rice pudding
tapioca and apple pudding. Any OF
these desserts are easily prepared, and
when left on the ice for eight or ten
hours before serving make delicious
conclusion to a summer dinner, as dc
any of the small fruits served with
cream. Pies Of all sorts and hot pud
dings may safely be let alone.
