"Teacll Il child self control" remark
the key to success.
Every one can succeed at some one
thing in this world. The reason why
most women fail is because they have
no perseverance, and the reason they
have no perseverance is because they
have no self control
They are continually plying them
selves and giving in to themselves, so
that sustained work and energy on
their part is impossible. They always
have to do what they feel like doing.
Unfortunately this state of mind does
not fit in with the scheme of things in
this world.
One can't begin too early training a
child. Even a tiny baby is capable Of
being reasoned with. At an early age
1t shows whether 1t is going to be a
wise little man or woman or little
tyrant with an uncomfortable temper.
The good mother never hulnors her
self. She endeavors, on the other hand.
to teach her to stand on her own feet
and to keep her feelings well under
control.
l have seen a child who because it
rained on a picnic day made the entire
house miserable. 1t stood in front Of
the window bawling and. exclaiming
"Oh. dear!" as if that could help mat
ters any. And no wise parent saw
that this selfish lack of self control on
the child's part would have it's effects
in after life
How blind some people are,

Never Dress In q Hurry.

Never let it be your boast that you
can dress in five minutes. my dear girl.
No woman who has any respect for
her appearance or her clothes will at
tempt to dress in even double that
time. 1t is as true in dressing as in
anything else that where there is the
more haste there is the less speed. It
Is particularly trying for woman to
dress In hurry. She gets furried.
and in her attempt to fasten her brooch
the pin sticks into her fqrer. She gets
cross over this. and ben everything

A Question For Wives,

A great many women complain that
their husbands do not talk business
with them. They want to be taken
into complete confidence, and they are
mot. This Is sometimes their own fault.
Il don't tell my wife about my at
fairs any MORE" remarked a man to
me. because she always says 4 told
you So! when things turn out wrong.
Her reproaches during the panic were
the worst things l had to bear. Never
again will expose myself to her
criticism by telling of plans l have
formed. She understands too little
about the risks involved in the bust
ness world. II / succeed she plunges
into extravaganza, and If ! fail she
blames me. I'd rather keep things to
myself"
Is the gentleman right or not? What
do you think about it?
