Do Are you . mother. ana do you

genial occupation
Perhaps you are skilled With the
needle and can embrpldcr lovely
flowers. You nnd great delight IN

from beneath youf needle.
Perhaps you paint and love N watch
Q design grow under your pencil or
brush into landscape or marine.
Or IL may be music which appeals

The manner Of partaking Of food Is
one OF the important lines which d.
vides the human being from the beast.
Any mother, 10 however humbl e
position, can instruct her child to cat

to talk while In the process; to keep
his elbows at his sides and his legs
and feet quietly under the table and
not to monopolize the conversation.
No child understands these things
naturally. Like all small, hungry
animals, children are conscious only
Of a desire to satisfy the cravings Of
appetite.
1t should be a labor OF love to train
the little animal into refined and
graceful human being with considera.
tion for the rights and feelings OF
others.
