ACTION FOR CHILD
IN GAME Of SWINGS
Song Should Be Taught to
Help Keep Motion
Rhythmic.
By MARGARET LOUISE WALLACE,

- ONE day when action seems i'm
perative. teach the children a
swing game, and choose some
song that will help keep the
swinging motion rhythmic
You may begin with the swing that is
slung at the end of two ropes, and is
such fun for the children to play with,
but so on from that to other sorts of
swinging motions. Coax the youngsters
to talk about and compare them. Let
them discover why a pendulum swings
as 1t does, freely, in two directions, how
the rocking-chair swings in one way
and the trees sway in another. 1t will
not be easy to explain clearly, but you
may give them some idea, and they will
De interested enough, If the instruction
ls properly given, to investigate for
themselves. and discover that they are
all d1nerent sorts OF the same motion
ana let them try to represent the mo-
uons themselves, as they did the wheel
motions.
The pendulum they know, from the
action of the balls, and the cIappers
Of the bells, too. Then let them swing
IKE the baby's cradle, arms straight
out in front, and bodies rocking from
left to right from waist up. Then. like
the tree-tops, with arms over their
heads, swaying in all directions as
gracefully as the mother can show them
how to do 1t; then, like the rocking
cha1r, short and sharp, and backward
and forward only. The motion of the
wheat may be initiated, too, the chill
dren bending over from the waist, arms
waving with rippling motion, as the
WIND blows over the wheat field
The last Is a difficult thing to do
Wen, but II Is worth trying, and il the
children keep their arms below their
shoulders, and move slowly, and all at
once, Is very pretty. A match at the
end or two threads will represent the
Ordinary swing, and II is well to teach
the children to make them Themselves
the knowledge Of how to make a firm
knot being useful
ine cradle may also be made Of the
STICKS, and so may the rocking chair
Ihe tree is sometimes made, but il is
TOO difficult for children unless you
nave some OF the patterns that are sold
Tor such things at hand.
saw some tall grass waving, moth
er, says Bess. Was 1t swinging, tooY'
1t was waving, as you saw bnt that
is sort of swinging motion. You see.
the bail, when you swing 1t, is fastened
by string from above. The penduIun
OF the clock is fastened by a stiff wire
NOW, the grass is fastened from below
and 1t Is neither as soft as the strinr,
nor as spn as the wire, so the motion
Is little different. The trees are some
thlng the same, fastened from below.
But suppose the world were all INSIDE
down. Wouldn't the grass and the trees
swing something like the ball?''
Ned instantly drops his head between
his knees, as the children In Peter
Pan" drove off the wolves, and tries to
see the world upside down, but he finds
1t quite unsatisfactory.

Cheesecloth Will Make
Improved Silence Cloth

Those OF us who still cling to table
cloths rather than polished wood have
often wondered at the exasperating
qualities Of the canton flannel silence
cloth. Every other hot dish placed
over it causes It 10 stick closer than
brother to the vanished table, and to
leave white fuzzy rings on the wood.
Try, instead making a silence cloth
OF cheesecloth or some other washable
material. with several layers of soft
paper between the two folds. Over
cast the edges and knot with thread
here and there, as in a quilt.

SAILOR COLLARNEW
FASHION FOR MILADY

~ NE is reminded now by every

new styles.
Everywhere, on everything, the
dominant note is the girlish sailor
collar From elaborate coat suits and
evening wraps down to the most sim

popularity. Nor is it just a sugges-

thing, big and unmistakable, some

Little Coates to Wear
With the Evening Gowns

They are not outdoor garments; they
are merely little outer bodices on many
of the empire models for evening
gowns or negligees. The French call
them "casaquins. They are of silk or
satin, and are made with high waist
lines and little peplums.
Some little coates fasten at the back.
This gives an excellent opportunity for
applying embroidery; chiffon revers or
beadwork can be used on bodice and
tail, and as a last suggestion the coat
can be Just as short as you please.

BILL AIMS TO PREVENT

ROME. December %. 1910.
Signor Luzzatti is about to introduce
in the senate a bill dealing with the whole
du, stioh CT the prevention of cruelty to
animals. The measure defines acts Of
cruelty. specifies such instances as the
binding of birds, the infliction of unnec-
cessary suffering in the killing of animals
or the overworking of horses and other
beasts Of burden and establishes the pun
ishr1ent to be assigned to different
bre aches of the law.
II alsn introduces regulations for the
restriction OF vivisection. which, for the
future, may only be practised by prop
erly qualified and licensed operators. and
will ONLY be permitted in legally recog-
nized hospitals or other medical institu-
tons where physicians or surgeons obtain
their training. This portion Of the bill is
particularly important in Italy. owing to
the too wide liberty which hitherto has
prevailed. The bill Is. in fact, based on
legislation which already has been ef-
fccted In other countries In regard to the
seme question.
Sienor Luzzatti's law will be OF the
greatest assistance to those Italian So
cieties for the prevention of cruelty to
animals which have hitherto been handi-
cepped in their work. 1t will have the
wsrm sympathy and support of all. IN
