EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

1.-THE world is so full of a number OF
things
I am sure we should all be as happy
as kings"
But one of the chief reasons that
We aren't, 1 think, is that we just
don't realize that we own these things
just don't bestir ourselves to take pos
session of our kingdoms.
I For instance:
1 don't know just where you live
but 1 do know that it is unlikely that
you live at any place SO city bound
| that there is not some beautiful
country or woodsy spot not more than
half an hour and ten cents away from
your home. More likely much nearer
And how often do you go there and
spend a few hours bathing your lungs
with the fresh air and your soul with
! the peace that are to be found in such
| spots?
| You wish you might take your chill
| dren into the country for the summer
as your neighbor does, and often be-
wall that that luxury is not within
| your power to bring to your darlings
/ but how often do you give them that
luxury that is within your reach-a
day in the country2
| And by day in the country 1 don't
mean a day at some popular picnic
\ ground, where there are flying horses,
and peanut stands, and all that sort of
thing.
I mean a day in the real country.
| Doubtless the youngsters will enjoy
| the other kind of excursion quite as
much and they ought to have that too,
| occasionally, but don't let it crowd out
| the real country day.
Besides the immediate advantage to
| their health, you will also be giving
your children lifelong source of
| pleasure if you insti1l into them lovs
| for the outdoor world.
Teach T
learn with them. to listen for and try
to distinguish some of the bird calls,
and to take an interest in the different
varieties of flowers. I don't mean
| necessarily the minute botanical in
| terest that is not content until it pulls
the flower apart into corolla and
calyx and Classics it into family and
genus. I simply mean the friendly in
terest that knows them by all their
nicknames and studies to learn just
when to expect them and where they
like best to grow.
OF course you can't cultivate an
interest like that by going once or
twice year into the woods
But what's to prevent your going
| once or twice week?
Household cares? If had house
and five children to look after
wouldn't talk such nonsense.
I wonder.
1 wonder If a house couldn't stay
by itself comfortably occasionally, and
if there isn't more than one way to
look after five children.
Once upon a time there was a wom-
an who was too much numbered
about much serving to listen to the
wonderful words of her very great
guest.
And there was another woman who
cared more to listen to this inspired
guest than she did that everything in
the house be immaculate and the food
perfectly cooked and served Just SO.
And we were told that this woman
| chose that good part which shall not
be taken away from her.
Are you sure that in preferring to
have your table and house and chill
dren's wardrobe just so to being a
fellow student with your children for
an occasional day in Gods great
school room, you are choosing THAT
good Dart"7
