The Ailinx Habit

II you are not well, don't talk about il.
To do 30 only aggravates your conscious
ness Of physical discomfort also, it casts
shadow OF gloom over other people. They
grow hesitant about asking you how you
feel. 1t gives them cold chills to be con-
tinually told that you are mot very well"
or .'not SO welr' or "about the samen.
Probably you've said these things 80
often that you say them now a. . matter
OF course. 1t seems incredible TO you by
now that you should ever feel really well,
because you've unconsciously made it .
habit to be ailing.
DO you know that good deal OF this is
imagination? II you braced up and told
people cheerily that you felt tiptop, nine
chances in ten you would feel tiptop pretty
soon. You'd forget the ailing habit.
And, after all, what great difference
does it make to any but your nearest and
dearest il you don't feel wells Suppose you
are even hampered by downright physical
ills? Your work must be done lust the
same. 1t can't be? What nonsense, OF
course il can.
Consider the splendid people who have
conquered desperate ills in order to get
their work done. The woman who has
something to do doesn't have the time to
complain Of not feeling we'll.

Cradle them close 70 your breast;
They win Isoon enough :lease your broodins

Soon enough mount youths topmost stair,
Little ones in the nest.
Fret no; that the ehildren's hearts are gay.
That their restless feet will run;
There may come time in the by-and-by
when you'u ST, in your lonely room and sigh
For a sound of childish fun
When you long for repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room.
OF ''motherl motherl' the dear love-calls,
That will echo long through the silent halls,
And add TO their stately gloom.
There may come a time when you'n long to
The eager boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear. shrili shout,
The busy hustle in and out,
And pattering overhead.
when the boys and gi-ls are all grown up,
And scattered far and wide-
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Where youth and age come never more,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them to your loving1heart
Cradle them to your breast,
They will soon enough leave your brooding
care.
Soon enough mount youths sopmost stair,
Little ones in the nest.

be done away with, and many well mean

May / illustrate from q child's stand

who has just learned to talk, and the en-
tire family propose to teach II manners.
Now expect exceptions to be taken to
this, but think it over twice before you
tell me how far have .'fallen from grace
in these ideas.

bellion brewing in the family because
later the child refuses to say s'plesse" for
something it could have without injury to
itself, and then quite likely the child is
punished for refusing to be polite. Am
right? Is this correct picture Of the ex-
perience of many little ones?

The Rakipx Of the Green.

Many years ago there was observed q
unique custom in the little town of Gull
ford, Conn. On one day in the fall Of the
year the women Of the town assembled on
the village green. Each carried a wooden
rake, decorated with her favorite color.
and each was dressed in white, decked
out with colored ribbons. 1t was day Of
fete, and it was called 'sThe Raking Of the
Green"
Then, with song and laughter and with
many Jest, this band Of women cleaned
the village green OF all the leaves and
refuse and dirt OF a years accumulation.
W hen the job was done, they adjourned
to the town hall, where they were Joined
by their husbands and brothers and the
village fathers. A public banquet cele-
brated the occasion.
While this was not the first chartered
village improvement association in the
country, it was probably at that time the
most enthusiastic, and had perhaps the
largest attendance. New Haven, Conn,
can rightly claim the first effort in village
improvement, while Stock bridge, Mass,
should be remembered as Offering the
second.
More than q hundred years ago James
Hiilhouse, OF New Haven, organized what
he called the .Public Green Association
He raised fifteen hundred dollars for
grading the green and for planting elms.
One man is said to have donated I've
gallons OF rum for this purpose. James
Hillhouse was also United States Senator
for twenty years. Almost every one had
forgotten what he did at Washington, but
no one is ever likely to forget his services
in making the city OF New Haven classic
by the beauty Of natures Gothic architec-
ture. The whole country owes him debt
of gratitude that can only be paid by
planting elms in his memory.-H. b.
Ward in W0mdn's Home Competition.
