EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Yesterday 1 saw a child whipped for
spilling grease on her dress and merely
scolded for telling a downright lie.
The lie was wicked. The splitting of
the grease was merely an accident, Oh
at most piece of carelessness. Do you
think that was the right proportion OF
punishment?
And do you, when you, punish your
children, measure the punishment bJ
the amount of evil intention or by the
amount of trouble caused you?
And on the whole which do you think
is the better way?
X
''She must be pretty queer girl no.
to have acknowledged my present yet"
said the lady who is always anxious 20
believe the worst. Let me see, she
has been married six weeks and 1 sent
it the week before she was married. OF
course it wasn't anything but sugar
spoon but that was the best could af
ford. and it was solid, which was more
than good many of the things 1 saw
at the wedding, and I think she might
have acknowledged it by now anyway"
A few weeks later it came to light
that in some way in the shop where
the gift was bought a mistake had been
made and the spoon had never been
sent.
Since then I have heard of two or
three similar cases and have come to
the conclusion that it is a very good
plan to investigate any tardy acknowl-
edgment before you condemn the
recipient.
What do you think?

more good than several terms at

If you suggest dancing lessons to
your boy he will probably protest Wig
orously. I am sure / hope he will for
that will show that he is a genuine
boyish boy.
But also hope that you will not al
low his protests to avail. For if YOU
stick to your point, however disconso-
late he may he on those beautiful win
ter afternoons when he has to go off
laden with pumps instead of skates, he
is going to thank you sooner or later.
For not only is the ability to dance a
necessary asset for any young man
who wants to have much of any social
life, but the command of his limbs, the
toning down of the bull-in-a-china-
shop manners of the average boy in
company and the knowledge of small
courtesies-all of which he will absorb
