girl to whom a fairy story OF the sort

Points
for
Mothers

Comfort For Stay at Homo Mothers.
"We are staying home this summer"
yaid the young mother. &s we do not
think the baby old enough Rwe taken
put of its usual environmeI~ and we
would not go without him." There
are no doubt thousands of young moth
srs and fathers doing the same thing.
They realize that there are a certain
lumber OF years of their lives that
they must give to the children and
that they must put aside their own
comfort in order to do Il. Mothers
don't break down when they are doing
this sort of work as a general thing
and should try TO live as calmly and
comfortably as possible under the cir
eumstanees. 1t is always with relief
that one hears the young mother say
I'VE" are staying at home, for the
father owes It to his child as much as
the mother to be near It during the
critical months Of babyhood. Together
they can most certainly do better for
the child than either one could alone,
and along with the cares Of mother
hood should go hand In hand the re-
sponsibiIities Of fatherhood. The child
who is only mothered loses much in
It's life, for the fathers influence is
often sane where motherhood is only
sweet The well brought up child
must have the fathers help as well an
the mothers through every step Of his
life, and he generally gets 1t In Ameri-
ca, whatever may be said of the better
training for parenthood in other coun-
tries. The father has a double duty
to perform, for while he looks out for
bis child he must also SEQ that the
mother keeps herself in condition. An
irritable mother will very likely have
the same kind of child. She may not
be at all at fault, having been render
ed physically incapable Of caring prop
erly for her child by worries Of one
kind or another. So the young hus.
band must see that she Is amused II
necessary, that she has nourishing food
and that she is not unduly worried by
all the business troubles OF the family
That precious baby does not realize all
the sacrifices that are made for him,
and he never will be aware Of them
until he, too, stands With a child OF
his own in his arms and the pride OF
fatherhood in his eyes
