Be very careful, mothers, when you
reprimand your children, that you do it
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 judy
mcnt 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 at cross purposes in the domes-
tic department. She felt exasperated
and irritated as she sat alone thinking
over the unpleasant state of affairs.
At an inopportune moment Tommy
came rushing up stairs, plunged into
the room with a great show of enthus-
iasm. and in his haste to get to his
mothers side, overturned her 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 a difficult one
to him. This had insured him promo
ton to higher grade. Surely his
mother would be as proud and happy
as a queen Of her boy. But the over

ov~rturning in her mind of the things
that had gone crOss-grained that day,
quite Overcame her justice and happy
sympathy.
ooh, 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.

home from SCHOOL,
What chill had been thrown over
To,nmy's enthusiasm! He was aston

not remember when he has had such
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
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,
but after ALL the impression Of that

away.
Oh, if we could only put aside bust
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 Teal Perry,
in The Evangelist.
Summertime Cooking.
For dinner, where a course dinner
Is necessary, serve also the simplest
things possible, writes Frances b. Ian
igan in the July Ladies' Home Journal
Vary the first course by commencing
once in a while with clans served or
the half shell, a creamed fish served ii
scallop shells, or any cream Of vegeta
chops garnished with peas or tomatoes
fried fish served with sauce tarture
sliced cucumbers; broiled or fried chick
en- for the next course. Potatoes nee(
not form part of the summer dinner
Until the new ones come, rice or spag
hetH may serve as a substitute. o.
summer vegetables there are always al
abundance to choose from. A salat
course should always be included il
the summer dinner menu. Lettuce
endive asparagus and sorrel are few
of the green's which are available 70
serving with either French or
mayonnaise dressing. Crackers an
cheese are a necessary accompaniment
of the salad course. .'
Keep to simple desserts, and, whe
possible, to cold ones during the sun
mer months. Custard, either baked Q
boiled, may be served in a variety c
ways; curds and whey, lemon jell
with whipped cream, blanc mang
baked apples and cream, rice pudding
tapioca and apple pudding. Any {
these desserts are easily prepared, an
when left on the ice for eight or tie
hours before serving make delicior
conclusion to a summer dinner, as d
any of the small fruits served wit
cream. Pies Of all sorts and hot pu'
dings may safely be let alone.
