half a dozen entries each day, and
then for about five minutes just before
the lights are lit or dinner is served

hard and long only TO have everything
go wrong. Don't put that down, better
leave the page blank than make such
an entry as that But surely there has
been some little thing that has either
pleased or amused you If only for "a
fleeting moment. Some one may have
wished you a CHEEKY good morning. II

Best Way to Develop Sound Taste IN
Literature.
There ought to be a collection OF
good books within the reach of every
child from the earliest years. These
books ought to be selected with the
utmost care, and should exclude all
inferior, sensational and careless
writing. The list ought to exclude a
large number of the books written
especially for children, because many
of these books lack reality and liter.
ary quality.
A child who is brought up with well.
bred people will have good manners

develop a sound taste for literature
