The Japanese mothers influence
is dlWays direct and personal, no
matter hoW many servants there
are.
The sepereSt chiding is always
given in a pleasant poice.
Children are not allowed to be
stubborn or passionate Nth nurses.
They never Leave the house nor re-
turn to it without going into their
mothers room and making little
bows and repeating a farewell or i
greeting.
The mother of Japan is one of
the real mothers of the world"
said Mrs. Alexander today. In all
of my work of many years over
there I have yet TO find the one
who does not at least try to per-
form the duties which the customs
of the land and the fact that she
IS a mother require of her. Per-
haps the real reason for il all Is a
sad one, for the Japanese mother
sometimes has very little else in the
world to care for.
She is practically the servant of
all in her husbands house--enters
it with such an expectation and
does not try to usurp the reign of
the mother in-law. For the moth
erin law of Japan is very real
asset of married life. Many times,
however, her husband is just as
good to her as are American hus-
bands and her lot is then very
happy.
But she never neGlects her chill
dren. No matter how numerous the
servants of the house may be, the
child IS the sole care OF the mother.
Mother and baby are scarcely ever
separated during the first few years
OF the baby's life, either day or
night.

one Christian mother the children
have been organized into society,
and once month they give a

they should conduct themselves in

Are You Renovating Your
Kitchen? By Mrs. NIsacli1i Christine

V y1RY possibly you are planning
10 have your kitchen done
V over this spring. If so, will
you let me give a few sug-
sestions?
Too often a kitchen is the darkest
room in the house. This may be be-
cause it was built so. or because it
has the wrong tones on the wall
The kitchen should have as light
unts as possible, and of those. buff
or putty" or a warm light yellow,
warm blue. gray. and pale green
on the nile shade are best
The ceiling should always be
h!te, preferable kalsomine. even if
the walls are covered with other
material. For the walls we have a
choice Of the so-called flat paints,
than which there is nothing better;
also new interior" paint which is
even better, and which has been
used by many good decorators: then
there IS the good washable oil cloth
Which can be used on the whole
wall. or only for the lower dado.
But the wall covering must never be
paper. which viii puff up with the
steam and be utterly unsanitary.
Now the woodwork or trim
should be also as white as possible.
il the walls are a light yellow, the
trim may be a deeper tone: If the
ais are gray the Trim might be
pure white, or an ivory shade: or the
natural finished wood, vanished;
the maple" shade is also very
good. C-ean looking. and wearabIe.
But the trim should never be dark
walnut or dark oak. as that gives a
TepellinE aspect, kills the tones on
the walls and is not sanitary.
Many still use paper on pantry
rhelves. But two coats of light paint
Is preferable. 1t will tighten that
part of the kitchen, make the shelves
Fauitary and save work, as then the
phelves need only a slight wiping off.
There should be no line" to break
the wall space especially in a small
hitchen. A plate rail effect or shelves
iuIt.ng into the room Will greatly
decrease the effect of space. There
may be q lower Wainscoting II the

is too good for the japanese child.

too complicated a question. ] can
say. however. that the average
American woman does not take her
motherhood as seriously as does the

concentrated on making the child

Scolds With a Smile.

herself UP as an example. The most
severe scolding that is ever ad-
ministered to the Japanese child
is given with smiling face. The
mother does not shrek or yell at
her children. Her influence is cor
respondingly great.
Many japanese mothers do not
think that children under three or
four years of age understand enough
to be taught obedience, and some
times we missionary mothers Won
