Rioht Tools For Schools.

Remember when you were q little
shaver and first started to SCHOOL,
Remember how important was that
first copybook and how enormous your
first lead pencil looked, and the de-
lights Of a fresh pen and ~penholder,
brand new and all your very own? 1t
was nice to have new belongings and
have them for your very WI self,

Well, if your small son or daughter

time see that he or she is equipped
with the proper utensils and good ones
A shiny new lead pencil is tnducive
to good writing and better efforts A
new tablet and fresh copybook will
be taken care Of and kept freer from
smudges because of their newness.
Most mothers know the pleasure Of
good lead pencils, erasers, copybooks,
rulers and such things, so let them
make the juvenile path Of learning
Just q bit easier and perhaps more
attractive by supplying their small
hopefuls with the proper tools

When the fascination Of ornamental
needlework has once laid hold upon a
woman it is hard for her to resist the
temptation to continue the work after
back and eyes give warning that 1t Is
zine to lay it down, or the piece of
work may be something that has to
be finished within a limited space of
time If 1t is to be of any use at all.
In that case here is an idea that may
be of service: Instead of continuing
TO leave over the work. let the worker
take the latest. softest sofa pillow
available and put it in her lap. If the
arms are allowed to rest on it 1t will
give several kinds of relief. The
changed focus relieves the strain on at
tentive eyes. The altered position not
only rests the muscles of the back,
but those Of the lungs, which too
often become unconsciousiy cramped
by the forward droop of weary shout
ders, until the seamstress Is taking

If there is n thing more than an
other which Is apt to grow monotonous
1t is the school lunch. Invariably it
consists Of a sandwich or two, some
cake and a piece Of fruit.
This is wholesome and sensible as
far as 1t goes, but too many mothers
forget to widen the scope Of this trio.
The sandwich, for instance, may be
most temptingly made and new ideas
be called upon to make it more attrac-
tive. Instead of n good sized sand
witch try making two or three smaller
ones of thin bread cut in round, square
or diamond shapes. One may use
chopped nuts, peanut butter, celery
and mayonnaise, chopped olives, dates.

or ham. Cheese, too. Is nourish1ng
and delicious. One might include q
cheese sandwich, for instance, with
one Of meat or lettuce. Then when
they are made and ready to be packed
don't forget that a covering OF tissue
or oiled paper will keep the bread
fresher and the sandwich daintier.
Vary the bread too. Use the whole
wheat or brown bread OF eve rye
bread occasionally II the child likes
It. Butter thins or biscuits make a
pleasant change from the plain white
bread.
Crisp little cookies or small cakes
are often easier to carry and carry bet

The Eaby's Sleep.

Teach the baby to sleep at night
The child's habits will be in a great
part what the mother or person in
charge makes them. For the first
three months the infant should sleep
from eighteen to twenty hours out Of
tweRty-four. Have crib and do not
take him to bed with one or two 9th
ers, where he cannot breathe air that
has not been deprived of its oxygen
If the infant sleeps alone he will keep

better and there will be little danger

cause of 1t. Again, 1t may be clothing.

bag and draw the string comfortably
about his neck, leaving no ends to

Almost invariably when a child is

the ther TO nyo Csc N me WOIIu.
Now, perhaps I'm wrong but it seems to N e that a ti matter n
gagged ought to be considered the same as married.
And, when a man is married, he presumably doesn't expect to take
some other woman to the theatre or a dance, ven If his wife is away
from home or he Is in another city. And. as engaged people have lar
up their minds that they care enough for eac other to be married., l
really see why he should want to when he Is engaged.
And, when a woman is married, he presumably doesn't wan TO n

for each engaged couple to talk the the matter 0ver frankly with each

cannot possibly suffer as much from giving up a little freedom a the
other party would suffer from that archtorment, Jealousy.
