mothers particularly would be con-
sistentiy firm. there would be very lit
tie trouble in bringing up children.
Nov. Reggie darling. don't eat
any more banana. You've had two
already and yoI know they don't
agree with you.
No. dear, not even one more. You
know when mother says No she
means it As | was saying. one must
be gently firm. It's the only
way. oh, Reggie, have you peeled
that banana Mother is surprised at
you.
"Oh. to have 1t ready to eat later.
How quaint children are. aren't they?
Very well. dear, but don't smear It
around on things. Now. Just look.

he knew you put your banana on
mothers nice vei:? You mustn't be SO
careless, Reggie darling. Now, be a
good boy. sit still ana look out Of the
window.
Il believe that most persons don't
give enough thought to the rearing OF
children. Parenthood should be
studied even more carefully than any
Of the learned professions. We should
realize that the little budding souls
and bodies are given to us to train
and nurture and we should aspire

Nov, Reggie, don't you know moth
er said you must not eat any more
banana? Why, mother is dreadfully
surprised at you,
We'll, since you've had bite you
may fli:ish that half Of the banana
bat not any more, dear; It might
make you III.
'I think 1t wise to be very careful
of child's Diet often think that If
mothers were more particular when
children are little there wouldn't be
so many dyspeptics in the world.
don't believe in allowing children TO
eat unfortunately and between
meals all the time / am always frr
about that Now Reggie, put that
banana down I said you could have
only half of it nnd you know very
well, darling, that maan what say.
Just one tiny bite more? Very
well, then, but now. dear, put it down.
Oh, Reggie. take It of that book.
quick How could you lay 1t on such
a beautiful bookY What would daddy
say If he knew you had just about
spoiled that pretty binding? 1t looked
like new before you did that and I
meant to take 1t to yoar Aunt Ella
Now III have to stop downtown on
our way to her house and buy come
other present for her. You must be
more thoughtful dear.
y believe In teaching children to
be thoughtful and considerate while
they are young. Water? oh, |
wouldn't drink any now, darling. It
isn't good for you to drink so much
water and my travelling cup is down
in the bottom of my suitcase--its
really too much trouble to get It.
Look out of the window and see those
pretty cows

too exacting In matters of hygiene II
parents paid more attention to hy-

why, Reggie, did you drink out OF
that public glass? You should have
reminded mother to get out our own
cup. IL. was naughty Of you to be so
careless. There's no telling what MI
crobes there were on that glass, but
hope you won't suffer any dreadful
consequences. Dear me, a mothers
rife has to be one OF eternal vigilance.

will ever appreciate all my ceaseless
worry and never ending care for him.
I fear children rarely realize all the
sacrifices a mother makes for them.
why, Reggie, are you at that ba-
mana again? Well, / never saw such
a boy You know I told you that you
had all you ought to have, and you
know mother always means what she
says. Too much banana isn't good
for a little boy like you.
We'll, yes. ] suppose as long as

a relief 10 have that banana gone, al
