PAY FOR a SPOT.
InEenious Little Idea for Teaehlng Chil-
dr0n to he Neat.


Two mothers of large families were dis
cussing domestic matters one day and
the younger Of the two spoke with a sigh
of the way in which her tablecloths were
spotted through the daily mishaps OF her
Companion.
Perhaps you'd like to know how have
helped my boys to be careful at the ta-
ble." said the older woman: "it is the
plan on which my mother brought me up.
and have never found a better"
THE rule in our family" she proceed
ed, when urged by her friend to explain
her method, ''is this: Any one who makes
a spot on the tablecloth must cover It
with a piece of money. and the piece
must be large enough to cover the stain
entirely; no rims allowed. The chill
dren have to provide the coins out of
their pocket money. This rule applies to
their father and me as well as TO them.
The sum goes TO buy new table linen.
1.-The first year l tried the new plan We
had money enough for three handsome
tablecloths but since then there has been
less and less. This Is the fourth year,
and although none of my boys has yet
reached his 18th birthday. and they are
by no means unusually deft In their
management of knives. forks and spoons.
they have learned to serve themselves
and others so well that l am inclined to
think their contributions to the table,
