Certain occupations and pastimes, S
ing. fishing. swinging. wheeling and
making the Juniors believe for once
that they could tire even Of the
most pleasant things. Some took
the reins Of authority into their own
hands: in other instances, parents,
knowing full we'll what the result
would surely be, gave permission
and often even made things pro-
pitious for accomplishing this end
For instance, one mother put jar
OF cookies beside a daughter. who
had an extreme fondness for them,
with the injunction to eat all she
wanted. A grandmother and sew
eral aunts conspired to satisfy the
1ongings of one Junior for chocolate
pie by putting one at her place
every meal for three days. They
succeeded for she never has cared
for it since.
