Should Children BE whippeds

All children differ in temperament.
Some are amenable to kind words.
while nothing but the rod win have
any effect upon others. Children who
must be ruled by the rod are the ex-
ception. The majority of children viii
yield to kindness. To begin with, chill
dren must not always be punished for
everything they do wrong. The world
is new to them, and they have every
thing to learn. Never punish a child
for a first offense. Watch carefully for
an opportunity to correct him, but I'M
less the offense is very bad do not re-
prove or correct him in the presence of
strangers or friends. You must make
up your mind to shut your eyes to half
the mischievOus things he does, but be
on the alert to catch him in the act Of
actual wrongdOing.
For a first offense you must be all
gentleness and very patient. Try to
impress upon him that what he has
done is very wrong and has displeased
you. Talk kindly and firmly, and in as
simple words as possible go over it two
or three times and make the child thor
oughly understand how much you feel
hurt that he should have done wrong
Be sure you explain why it is wrong.
Never scold nor be harsh nor strike,
however gently. Simply give the child
as sweet and tender a lesson as posi-
BILE by talking. This, if done properly,
will be much more effective than
whipping. The offense may be repeat
ed but do not at once use the cane.
1t may have been an accident, and you
must remember that child cannot re-
tain things as an adult can. He may
have forgotten, so be patient a little
while longer, though perhaps a little
more severe and impressive. If this
fails and the Offense is repeated will
fully, one must have recourse to the
rod and rule the child by fear.

A POINT OF
ETIQUETTE.

To ask for an invitation is never a
pleasant thing to have to do, and many
a young hostess who has a friend or
friends staying with her finds a little
difficulty in accepting or declining in
vitations, fearing that it might be con-
sidered impolite and unkind to leave
her guests and yet not sure whether it
would be correct for her to ask for an
invitation for them. This is particular
ly the case when the friends are of the
fair sex, ladies in the present day be-
ing so decidedly in the majority in point
of numbers, and to ask for a thing that
one feels almost sure will be refused is
not. indeed cannot be, an agreeable
duty.
OF course dinner invitations are never
asked for whether for lady or gentle
men friends. This is an understood
thing and holds good for jewellers in the
country as well in town. Few host
esses like to ask for an invitation to &
small ball or dance for a lady, for
they know that ball givers are obliged
to cOnfine their invitations to those Ia
dies who are on their visiting list, and
have therefore to harden their hearts
and refuse to exceed a certain number.
knowing that if they did so their rooms
would be OvercroWded.
A lady may, however, without hesita-
ton ask for an invitation for a gentle
man friend, as dancing men are, as a
rule, as much in the minority as ladies'
are in the majority, and the writer feels
that there is not so much fear of a re-
fusal. When writing to ask for an in
vitatiOn, she should of course mention
the names of the friends for whom she
requests the invitation
Some people think that they may take
a friend with them to an "at home
without asking for an invitation for
him or her. Sometimes, no doubt with
intimate friends or relatives, this may
be done, but it is wiser not to do it, for
many hostesses are very particular
about this matter and resent what
they consider a liberty being taken with
them even when done by relatives. It
is therefore better in all cases to ask
for an invitation for friend. AS a gen
eral rule, the request will be readily
complied with though sometimes
hostess writes to k~efuse on the score Of
small rooms and a large acquaintance.
In the country the exact opposite is
generally the case. Rooms are larger
and visiting lists smaller. Indeed in
some neighbOrhoods the difficulty a host
ess often labors under is having too few
instead of too many dancing guests, and
she is therefore only too glad when her
neighbors have pleasant people staying
with them on these occasions, and
lady may without much fear of refusal
write and ask for an invitation for g
friend or even friends.

lay off the little group. The explorers.
however, probably set the natives a
lively example in larceny. From the
Spanish accounts the ladies of the
Ladrones were the first of the ener-
getic army of shoplifters. Their depre-
dations in the Ladrones, however, were
considered quite good form and prob
ably known under some such refined
title as kleptomania. Thieving with
them was, according to the virtuously
scandalized Spaniard's story, reduced
to one of the fine arts, an accomplish
ment without which no native belle
would have considered her education
complete. Whether the accomplish
ment was tried on each other by the
native ladies or whether they were re-
served for the spoliation of chance vis-

The Girls Every one Likes.

The most IovabIe girls in the world
are those of sunny disposition. A few
people like the quiet, thoughtful girl;
others like the girl who is perpetually
vivacious and bubbling over with spir-
its. but every one likes the girl with
the CHEEKY, sunny disposition. Girls Of
this character are never extravagantly
boisterous or dismally quiet. They have
a pleasant smile for every one. They
never seem troubled or worried. Their
voice is low and musical, and their
smile-be they pretty or not-is always
sweet. The only trouble that the sun
ny tempered girl has is the outcome Of
her popularity.
Everybody wants to talk to her and
be in her company. Young men are at
tracted to her without effort on her
part, for her character shows itself so
plainly in her actions that young men
are delighted at the cheeriness and
sympathy of her nature and are drawn
to her at once. For every reason, then,
the girl with the sunny disposition, who
smiles away the troubles of life, is
favorite, and, what is more, old people
are Just as charmed by her as young.
