Neatness in Our Boys
and Girls

YEATNESS Is always attractive In
M grown-ups. and the best place to
u begin Is with the little boys and
girls.
1t is difficult. as every one who tries
1t knows. to teach children to keep their
belongings in order. or to be careful and
neat; but when once the habit OF neat
ness is inculcated. 1t is OF inestimabls
value to the boy or girl IN his or her
future life and well worth all the trou-
Bile incurred
An ingenious mother thought out an
excellent plan. She made Il an unal-
terable rule that there should be a place
for everything and everything kept in
it's place. Whenever any OF the family
found anything belonging to another
member Of it out Of place. they were at
liberty TO put it in '.chancery." The
chancery was a room. kept locked and
presided over by the mother. Every ar
ticle entering there called for cent TO
effect lis release. At first caps. states,
pencils. slippers came teeming in. and
following them the pennies for release,
and these formed a fund for purchasing
something TO promote udineSS-such as
waste-paper baskets. paper racks. slip
per cases and so on Soon. by firmly
adhering TO the rule Of demanding the
ransom money, the articles coming to
chancery decreased. and the lesson was
thoroughly taught to all the children.
from the oldest ones away at college
to the little maid Of years OF age at
home and mothers right hand" Out
side the chancery door there hung a
slate with a pencil attached, and when
any article was cOnfiScated the date was
noted
A certain time fixed for their deten-
ton was a wise forethOught for if the
little articles or toys must remain IN
chancery three or four days or a week.
their little owners will think more OF
being deprived OF their treasures than
even OF paying the necessary penny to
release them; and the toy comes out
again with a certain freshness that
makes IL doubly attractive.
But parents should always remember
that they must set a good example. and
the servants should be Instructed to re-
member neatness. as absolutely tmpera-
tive. Children are very quick at de-
tecting Inconsistencies. and notice at
once the fact that their elders are not
practicing what they are so sternly
preaching.

a trunk IS so easily done
- that many women have just
placed their belongings into the
form. and have hastily remedied
al defects IN a quick unpacking at the
end Of the journey. But, like many
ordinary things. this can be done sys-
.tematically and in such a way that all
OF the little annoyances and discomforts
can be eliminated. and once mastered,
the main points will be Of good prac-
deal value for all future occasions.
First OF all, line the trunk with q
sheet. Place It go that one corner falls
over the front. one over each side. and
the fourth over the top. This prevents
the invasion OF dust and forms an ex-
cellent envelope. with the addition OF
safety pins, for a supply Of clothes that

; The secret Of good packing is to pack
hat Do not roll clothing into hard
bundles. but place each article IN as
Tat q condition es possible. When
placing skirts into the bottom of a
trunk, dispose OF them by putting the
E-ufled end OF one at one end and re-
versing the position OF the next. In
this way all space can be used to ad-
vantage.
There is q special treatment for your

the arrangement is self-evident.
OF course, all space should be utilized.
Boxes, shoes, the hat crowns are fine
receptacles for little articles that re-
quire room and cannot be folded. From
a chaotic mass of wearing apparel that
looks hopeless there is possible to evolve
a systematic order If these few points
be remembered. order is always such
comfortable state. of things that the
feeling of a correctly packed trunk, with
a place for everything and everything
IN its place, speeds the traveller on his
way rejoicing.

Swelling in Eye.-Don't rub the eye.
Lift the lid of the eye up or down and

eyes and press against the ball of non

Arm Broken.-The sufferers arm

strips OF wood, and the doctor called or

Choking.-The sufferer should be made
