EVEN HANDED JUSTICE.

| Training and Homeniakinx.
| l sometimes think that not love, but
justice, should be the cornerstone on
which home government should build
| Its fair edifice. Justice at the very foun-
dation would do away with beartaches
and grievances that are often ignored
| and resented, would prove more po
| tential in the formation of character
than any other possible quality in pa
rental administration
1t is precisely because justice is
wounded in the house of its friends
that the sweetness of the home is often
dashed with bitterness and that chill
dren tenderly loved and cherished are
hurt and cramped In their proper devel-
opment by that commonest of letters.
misunderstanding.
Passing on to practical, everyday
routine, one often sees a scene like this:
Johnny is busy with his studies, his
hon work, that must be done before
he can go out to play. By pegging away
hard at the sums and the boundaries
he can secure half hours bali before
supper. Absorbed in his occupation, so
important to him, he hears with dismay
the command to leave 1t and amuse his
little sister. Few mothers. however,
hesitate to interrupt the pursuits of any
growing boy or girl If by chance the
claims of a younger child get in the
way.
The opposite side in this case will BE
presented by some one whose urgent
plea will be that by early bearing the
yoke we learn compassion for weak
ness and unselfish sympathy. There
Is grain Of truth here, but it Is par
tial truth.
Even handed justice in the home
the apportioning to the child Of every
age and stage Of progress its rights as
IN Individual. the exercise Of care that
each in his or her own sphere is pro-
tected against wrong from without
tends to making full minded, genuine
and lovabie character.
It Is wise to assign to the older chill
dren in the household certain respon-
sibilities in the guardianship Of the
younger ones. But Mary's walks and
talks should not always be spoiled for
her because Hetty, half her age, in
sists on Joining her, and Ralph's tools
and collections and books should never
be at the mercy of small vandal NAM

The Emerald RING.

For anger rings the emerald ia said
to lead all precious stones. Emeralds
OF elltptical and ovoid shapes are worn
only by elderly women, while young
women affect the square cut emerald.
Sometimes this stone Is outlined In
small diamonds, but far more fashion
able is fine beading of gold wire. AT
frst blush SO plain setting might ap-
pear dull and unattractive, but 1t takes
only snort time for an observer to
realize that those effulgent stones need
no elaborate frame to set off their
beauty. It the same unobstrusive way
is set the dome shaped emerald. from
whose polished surface the light re-
fleets with a peculiar sheen.
