Activities of Children

May 1 offer few suggestions to the
mother who asks how she may best
direct the activities of her two small
daughters?
First, the play of children is not recrea-
tion in the sense of being side ISSUE a
change or relaxation from the business
of life. That is the whole meaning of
adult play but in the child world play
Is the main business of life; the most
elaborate or even finished toys dwarf his
imagination. Give him or her raw ma
teral of every lind-blocks, sticks, sand,
clay, paper, pebbles, tin cans, boxes,
twigs, etc. The child wants things to
create and needs only a little guidance
in the beginning. Teach the little girls
to use their senses, too, for now is the
golden time for sense training.
Another thing that | think every
mother should do for her children is to
stock her mind with stories-the best,
of course that the world has to offer.
Story telling, the cutting of paper illus
trations, and the crude, but often sur
prisingly true action out of the tales fur
nish never ending fun for any child. And,
by the way, reading the story aloud Is
not always a good substitute for telling it.
MANY stories-the- long ones and those
whose beauty of style will not stand TAM
pering with, should be read But, oh,
many a tale should come to the little

one direct, vitalized by the eyes, the voice,
the expression of the story teller. And
the best story teller is the mother.
In conclusion I want to max plea
for plenty of group play. The games OF
childhood are marvellous study. and they
serve the noble purposes of awakening in
the child his social sense, of developing
in him or her a feeling for others and for
himself or herself as part of the whole;
also self control, obedience to law tthe
rule of the game) and cooperation, as
opposed to the fierce ndividualism of child
and savage life. Girls need the training
as much as boys perhaps more, be-
cause they have had always less than
their share.
And now that women are called to
take their part in civic life and the con-
troll of the larger family-the community
they must be trained to cooperate to
work together for the eomomn good. So
| would urge this mother, if she live any,
where near a playground, to encourage
her girls to join in the classes and in
group and team games. 1t will mean bet
ter citizenship in after years. A child must
play IL he would grow up into perfect,
all round development, and he must have
the right opportunity for the necessary
kinds of play. RUTH r. P.'

"Windbeutels''

"In Ma. on Harland's Helping Hand

paper the size of the pan which contains

Your love raises me in my own esteem
and purifies mei'
Following the eseapade Mirabeau was
arrested and confined in Vincennes and
Sophie in the penitentiary at Besancon.
! People everywhere felt a sentiemntal pity
for the lovers. Their romance, their
troubles, their adventures and the SUBJ
| Unity of their sacrifice for love aroused
general admiration
| During his confinement several hundred
letters were exchanged through the con-
nvanee of Boucher. 1t was in this style
| that Sophie wrote to the man who had
| sacrificed so much for her: II am Obliged
| to write to you in my bed with the cur
| tain drawn; it Is the only way in which
can be private. But why do complain
| when M. Lenoir is so kind. He tells me
| to trust him, that he will see our letters
reach their destinations, so | only live
now beloved, in the expectation of hear
ing from you. Every day / see means of
escaping But If flight were ever so
easy, If every door were open, would not
leave For I should not he able to fly
to your dungeon, and without YOU be-
loved, whittier should / go? Where should
I be surer OF receiving your letters than
here? Let them but reach me and could
even kiss my fetters at such price!
But finally this love cooled and re-
proaehes took its place. When they is
sued from then confinement, instead OF
falling into one another's arms, the lovers
burst into mutual accusations, rage and
tears and parted, never to meet, never
to hear from one another again. Sophie 5

spent her remaining years in a little house
attached to the convent where she was
imprisoned. Mifabeau sank MS loVe INTO
