The Effective Punishment.

Have you ever given child the priv
ilege of choosing his own punishment
either by whipping, or the deprivation of
some beloved treat. solitude in his cham
Der, or some other form, and had
him prefer the whipping to have it
over with? Doesn't this prove it to be
the lesser punishment? Something to be
borne with stoically, as a necessary evil,
perhaps, but forgotten the next moment
in some pleasure or recreation.
If, however, upon mature deliberation,
il seems expedient to apply the rod,
let it by all the regard you have for
your child's self-respect, be done in the
privacy of his own room, and not even
limited at before other children. There
seems to be a strain of cruelty in the
makeup of some children that delights
in another's punishment. If child
must be punished in this way, if every
other expedient has been tried and found
wanting and it seems that he will learn
the desired lesson in no other way for
let it be understood that punishment is
given for no other reason than REFORM,
then shut him up in one room and your
self in another, until your anger has
had time to cool and he to reflect. Then
with calm face. a prayerful and sorry
heart and a dignifed demeanOr 20 to
him and do the job thoroughly and well.
Keep him closeted until the ferceness
of his emotion has worn away. Then
take him out. battle and clothe him
afresh, and keep him with you. Talk to
him not about his offense-yOu have
punished him for that--let it drop,
Cheerfully expect it not to happen again.
Be kind and loving to him and prove
by your actions that he has grieved YOU.

SUGGESTIONS for Underskirts.

There is a feeling akin to regret when
a woman discovers her almost new silk
underskirt beginning to split at the
knees, where the strain is greatest. There
is a way to avoid this and make the
skirt last twice as long, though it has
seemingly been overlooked by even the
most careful of home dressmakers.
Lay your goods on a five dress pattern
and cut out, letting the length end just
above the knees. Fit close to the hips
and lay in two plaits. finishing off with a
hook and eye. Make a bias fOunce
broad enough so that when combined the
tounce and top of the skirt will make
required skirt length After gathering
the ilounce sew the ruttle edge and the
top of the skirt in seam on the right
side, then turn the top of the skirt over
the seam and stitch Finish the bot
tom of the skirt with one, two or three
narrow ruffles.
Chambray of either light blue. pink or
OK blood color, such as is found in the
shops at L cents a yard, makes the
best substitute for silk skirts, especially
in this day and age when the best of
silk doesn't last any too long. Cut out
the skirt top same as instructions for
silk skirt top, with the exception of cut
tin" skirt full length required.
Have a tlounce two and n half yards
wide Stamp a scall0p pattern on the
edge of ruffle and work with heavy cot
ton. Sew founce to the skirt foundation,
the hem of which should be edged with
rick-rack braid. This will prevent the
hem from cutting out.
Should one care to put more work on
the skirt. feather stitch all along the hem
seam of the fiounce. This makes a pretty

democracy on this proposition. Today
sentiment has grown so in favor of
