HAPPY
CHILDREN

" ANTILLES who live in large cities
II often find it difficult to keep
their children in the small
yards. 1t is hard matter for them
to find amusement in such small
quarters. The following plan might
be found successful.
Divide the yard into sections, CIV
ing each child a portion of its own.
This section is to be made into a
miniature garden, the child digging
the soil, marking Off the beds and
planting the seeds according to its
own ideas.
Plan a family flower show" to
be given in the fall, and award a
prize to the prettiest garden.
The children will work untireingly
during the summer, carefully weed
ing the beds and watering the thirsty
plants during the hot, dry days.
AS the days advance, they note the
growth of the little plants and
watch with interest the first bud
which blossoms.
This will install within them a
love for flowers which will never die.
The educational value of a garden,
when closely observed, is unlimited.
The children learn to respect and
like the clumsy toad, who subsists
upon the destructive insect life
which inhablts their garden. They
observe the habits Of the bee, who
finds treasure of sweetness within
the heart of each flower cup.
They welcome the beautiful,
bright-colored butterfly when it
seeks its feast of sweetness among
the blooms.
Nevermore do they chasJ the frail,
spiritlike creature, cruelty breaking
its delicate wings.
AS for mounting 1t upon a pin to
enlarge a collection-they would not
consider such heartless thought!
Tell them stories about the flow
ers-how they originated, mytholo-
gically. Develop their imagination.
Tell fairy stories about elves and
! flower spirits who dwell within each
flower cup.

-HE young woman who wants to
marry, if she is not a beauty
\ or gifted in some other special
way, must be particular as to her
male acquaintance; she cannot &C
cept the philandering of Tom, DICK
and Harry if she wants the rlgnC
man to consider her as posslDle
guardian of his happiness. Again,
it is not improbable that the stamp
of man who happened to be in TINS
young woman's environment was TOO
light and frothy for the substantial!
foundation of her character, ana IL
this was the case she may count her
self lucky in having escaped pleasing
him. Marriage is an honorable es-
tate, and it may be mac the most
beautiful thing in the world; put
temperament and tastes must be con-
genial for happiness to abide with
the tie Still again, it is possible for
the girl with the marrying bee 10
seem too eager, in which case, If the
man himself has not awakened 10
the matrimonial thought, he is bound
TO fee, for the mutual attraction that
suggests marriage is not thing to
be forced rudely.
So much for the possible mistakes
a marrying girl who is still maid
at "A is likely to make. And now for
reneralities on the other side-the
things that attract the marrying
man.
First the foremost among the quail
tiles to be desired is the one called
womanly, that gentle, sincere fem
fninity that speaks more loudly OF
the home like than all the speech on
earth. The marrying man may be
attracted for a long time by the fash
ana fare of up-to-date charmers, but
when he takes unto himself wife
he is pretty apt to look up one among
the other girls, the girls to whom
dress and pleasure are secondary anc
not all-the maids who, so to speak
look as If they will know how to bake
fhe sweetest cakes and pies of mar
ried life.
These dear bodies, even though
thew keep pace with smart life anC
dress modishly and so on, are, above
ali women, sweethearts, wives anC
mothers. Nature hasn't made AM
mistake in them, and If man hasn'
the wit to see it sometimes and per
Tnits one here and there to reach ole
Motherhood the majority win out.

SAY
is NECESSARY

New York. April 5.-The an
"nouncement that no nation will be
represented by AN official commits
sioner at the olympic games has
been received with some dissatisfac-
ton by the athletic champions who
have competed at previous Olym-
pads. most Of whom declare that a
commissioner is necessary to look at
ter American interests.
They cite as an illustration Of the
usefulness of the office, the fact that
it was only because of h protest
of Commissioner Sullivan at London
that America VAS awarded the Mara
thon race. The victory had been
awarded to Dorono instead of to
Hayes and the Italian flag had been
floating twenty minutes before the
American commissioners pointed out
how Dodando had violated the Oily
mpic rules.
To take the place of the commits
sioner rs far as possible the Ameri-
can Olympic committee will send "a
subcommittee Of three. Chairman
James f.. Sullivan. and armed with
all possible power to act for Amcri-
ca. 1t is conceded, however. that
such a committee will no have the
official position and opportunity for
doing so adequately the type of work
which has always been found ncces-
sary for the protection of American
athletes interests.
