each OF the several thousand members OF

At the same time diplomacy may well be

Apdkening Interest of Child.

In my own nursery there were certain
focks Of ducks and geese impersonated by
the bread which fioated in the milk or By
the cubes of toast on the plate, and the
child who ate them was in turn a hungry
fox or a marauding hawk who swooped
down upon the prey. Or the milk was q
river which had TO be swallowed In order
TO permit the hero or heroine to escape
from the pursuer. who was variously
giant, a wild animal. or bad fairy. Some
times We did not resort to these expedients,
but kept some specially absorbing tale for
meal times, and in the interest awakened
by this the food was eaten almost uncon-
scIously and without struggle or argument.
The practice recommended in serving the
adult invaIid's meals-of making them as
attractive as possible-should not be neg
Iected in the child's case. Quaint and
comical fancies appeal TO him as they
would not to an older person and a series
