Child is SPOILED

LAXITY

A Young mother with her only
child, who had not seen more than
five summers, called at the home of
a friend the other day, who was much
put out at his behavior From the
moment. the young matron arrived
until the time of her departure, the
youngster was a nuisance.
Mama, what's that. and where's
the rest of her ARM" he inquired,
after having carefully examined a
statue of Venus of Milo.
IT'S statue, dear; don't disturb
mother while she is talking"
For a few moments the lady and
her friend were permitted to indulge
in peaceful conversation, when again
the young. enc interrupted them with
Mama, when you step hard on this
floor it makes a scratch; see,
mama?"
Again the mother patiently admon-
ished him and turned to talk with
her hostess. These Interruptions in

and although everyone else knew it.
the mother herself seemed utterly
unconscious of the fact and often

as her own young hopeful and yet
were to her mind badly spoiled. II
is said sometimes that children mis-
behave only in the presence of some

in their official reports in the course
Of the same evening, and her opinions
were solicited on questions ranging
from the proper method Of addressing
an official in Spanish to the correct
dress for women at such and such a
function. ....,,
When the delegates first arrived at
the Hotel Plaza, in Buenos Ayres, for
the official afternoon reception, the
question came up as to the proper
dress for men,. The same dress as in

mr. Doyle" she said, 81 am afraid
some of our delegates are going to
make mistake in their dress. OF
course, you know that full evening
dress is the proper attire for the Pres
:ident's afternoon reception"
Mr.. Doyle quietly relayed the mes.
sage from room to room. The dele
gates appeared in full evening dress.
They would have been greatly embar-
raised had they not followed Miss
Hanna's advice.
Not Seif-Assertive.
There is nothing dictatorial or self
assertive about Miss Hanna's manner.
She would never do as a speaker in a
fiery suffragette meeting. Her man.
ner is modest to q degree, essential
ly girlish at times, especially when she
bubbles over in appreciation of joke.
even though the joke be on herself.
A reporter who called on Miss
Hanna the other day tried hard to get
her picture, and she finally decided
not to give it up. Persistent requests
brought another semblanee of a blush
which was later explained by one OF
Miss Hanna's friends. +
1t seems that a newspaper several
years ago printed picture of Miss
Hanna which brought her a deluge of
letters from different parts of the

Some yCa@S ago n Young matron
ran into the nursery TO kiss the tots

Big Sister Suffers.
Just why and just how mothers
spoil their children no one seems to
know, yet everyone including The
mothers themselves, deplore theT fact
that there are refractory children,
The child who misbehaves when ne
is little is annoying, but the young
ster of ten or twelve who is petted
at home is tirCsOme and troublesome
to one who is not accustomed to
making excuses for his faults Some
times it is big sister who suffers, as
is the case of a friend on a recent
occasion. A young girl was asked by
a friend to go to the. theatre. AS
usual they were accompanied by
small brother All evening he made
remarks that embarrassed both his
sister and her friend, but at the ice
cream parlor when the young man
suggested a certain dellcacy on theI
menu card the youngster burst out
with: Gee: that costs too much
twenty cents" When the tab was
laid on the table the boy Immediately
reached for it and at the top of his
voice cried: "Collv! a dollar!"
Naturally every word that is ut
tered by her baby seems wonderful
to a mother, but not so to those
around her, and when once child
has said something that is in way
funny, the next door neighbor is not
always anxious to hear of it, and,
too, when his smart sayings are con-
stantly repeated within young Amer
ica's hearing, the results are not al
ways desirable.
One way to become popular is TO
let other people impose on you.
