Happy to Bed.

Whatever the child's daytime
naughtiness may have been, at night
fall he should be forgiven and go to

Children should never be allowed
to carry with them in their thoughts
the mental sufreriugs which too many
parents seem to think an absolute
necessity in the careful bringing up
of children. All too soon will they
have to face the world and its sor-
rows.
When the nursery brood is IN
dressed and in bed, the lights turned
low ana the room quteted for the
night, the mother or older sister can
sweeten their last waking moments
with stories before they embark for

and rigid truthfulness should be

shun all equiyocation and lying, still
we need not fear to satisfy their viv.

ture Of fairyland. They early learn
to find the truth wrapped up in the
husk of the story.
Fairy lore is older than eivillza-
ton, and its stories with variations

their origin is in the needs and hearts
