Some "Don'is" For Mothers.

Gabrielle l.. Jackson has written n
littie book OF "Don'ts for Mothers"
from which we extract few golden
nuggets of advice.
Don't omit TO establish at the very
beginning implicit confidence, absolute
trust, and the sweet Intercourse possi-
bic between mother and child.
Don't try TO divert when obedience
IS your right.
Don't give baby something because
he cries for it. Wait until he stops,
and then give IL if it is wise 10 do so.
Don't. when the two.year milestone
Is reached. overlook spoon hurled
wildly 10 the floor on the ground that
baby is too young to understand"
Insist quietly but firmly upon the same
fingers picking it up. and insist for
three hours If necessary. Right and
wrong can be learned at an early age.
Don't offer bribeS as an inducement
TO good behavior.
Don't Use horrifying threats to en-
force obedience. Teach right for rights
sake.

means everything to older people.
Don't overlook an untruth. yet weigh
carefully between untruthfulness ani

splitting task, but no mistakes should
be made.
Don't tolerate "smartness" or "fresh.
ness" Correct them gently. but firm

much: deafness is often n blessing.

Most housekepeers have in reserve
several embroidered or lace centre
pieces, which are used occasionally as
they fit into the color scheme with
which the table is decorated. The
careful owner generally keeps these
embroiderles folded in n box and every
zine she uses them there are folds and
creases to press out. A much better
way is to provide sheets of thick, stiff
wrapping paper, lay the linen or lace
in the paper, roll up lightly, snap an
elastic band round and lay in q drawer

church and of literature. Low Latin
Was afterward the language of the ad-
