THE DAILY CHlT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

It isn't particularly pretty or unusually
fragrant
It's just a sturdy little blue flower that
grows by our back door stoop. but
seldom see it without having that kind
OF feeling that makes a man take OFF
his hat to show his reverence.
And this Is why.
In that rough. ugly. unfertile bit of
ground by the stoop. we have tried to
make many things grow. Nasturtiurns
pansies. geraniums and rose bush we
have planted there from time TO time
And they have >all refused TO live--as
il they said. This is such an ugly spot
not tit for flowers. We will not de-
mean ourselves by growing here
And then we planted a slip OF the blue
fading. it thrived and fiourished and
blossomed and spread until soon that
ugly scar in our garden was quite healed
1t isn't very beautiful flower, nor un-
usually fragrant It's just a sturdy,
wholesome. happy. little blue-eyed thinc
that grows and tthrives and produces a.,
much beauty as it knows how wherever
you plant it.
And do Won know, 1t seems to me that
just as | love and am proud of my blue
eyed Susan. SO God must be proud OF
His blue-eyed Susan folks.
You know what L mean--the dear
sturdy, simple, cheerful folks who don [
disdain to thrive and blossom and bring
forth all the beauty they know how TO.
no matter how embarrassing or how,
cheerless or unfertile the plot of grounf

While are admrng and praiSuns

people that bloom in beauty and frrlg-

garden, who knows but He is far more
proud of His blue-eyed Susan folks. You

would be only discord without her. the

A Hint to Mothers.

Children Of nervous temperaments
often become chilled and fretful during a
bath. Try bathing the child first to the
elbows and waist line, then drying quick
ly with small Turkish towel. Let the
child sit in the water during this part
of the bath. so that the lower part OF the
body may be kept warm. This keeps
away chill. and the bath. can be finished
in d moment, the child remaining warm
and comfortable during the entire process
The practice can even be adopted with
excellent results by grownups whose cir
culation is trifle sluggish and who ex-
perience the unpleasant after-bath chill.
