Have you ever noticed how some people
scold; how some expend all their energy
while scolding by flying into a rage and
a temper, while others know so well how
to keep their tempers under control that
one would scarcely know they were scold-
Ing?
1t would seem that there is really an art
in scolding. and to practise 1t effectively
we must keep our tempers we'll in hand
and wait until our anger has cooled suffi-
GENTLY to administer the word that cuts
he deepest and has the most effect.
Seedlings lose their efficacy when re-
peated from day to day, but a few sharp
words firmly spoken win nearly always
have the desired effect and rid the atmos-
phere Of all unpleasantness.
1t has been said wisely that children
are often our Judges and IL we wish to be
respected by them we should be cautious
in showing our temper or raising a loud,
angry voice to them
Far better results will be obtained IL the
child Is reasoned with and his sense of
honor appealed to.
In the case of servants, some people
think they have a perfect right to nag
and scold them just because they. are
servants. They fall to recognize the fact
that servants are human being very much
like themselves and worthy of much con-
siderntion.
Women-and men for that matter, for
there are men "scolds'' too-would do well
to remember that scolding will mark the
face with unsightly lines, which no beauty
doctor will be able to eradicate; that to
disturb the currents of life and mar Its
harmony is little short of a crime, and that
thai is just what we accomplish every time
we scold.
~ -
and no woman of fine breeding will allow
herself to become a scold. 1t is an I'M
pleasant medicine that should only be sad-
ministered in cases of dire necessity, and
in any case in small doses, II we would
have the better results.

It would be an easy matter to put
away a dollar or two every week be-

purchase ones gifts gradually, and
thus avoid that wearing excitement OF
buying everything in a rush; but only
the sensible few will do either. The
