Be Comrades With Children.

ents are real good pals, can give
points to the old order. The wise
make comrades OF their growing up
or grown children. There is a draw

that is good; good for the elders, and
conduces to freshness Of spirit.
The high wall between parent and
child is down. and they do not shout
a strange language TO each other
To make real comrades of your
children Is to let them feel that you
have gone with them step by step
all the way. and che day you will
realize that they are falling into your
step, going back TO childhood and
blaming themselves for their failure
toward you, even as you failed toward
yours. and never again will you com

MADE OF PICTURE POSTCARD.
Handy Little Notebook Would Make
an Especially Pleasing Present
for the Children.

This handy little notebook was
made with the aid of two pretty pic
ture postcards. In making it, two
pieces of stiff cardboard are cut out,
larger by a half an inch each way
than the cards.
These pieces of cardboard are
smoothly covered on both sides with
silk, the edges afterwards being fin
ished of with a fine silk cord carried
into two little loops, turned inwards
1t the corners.
To complete the cover of the book.
the two sides are bound together at
the back with narrow ribbon.
For the interior Of the book. the un-
used half-gheets of notepaper may
well be used They can be cut to fiji
and folded in the center. and can be
secured in their place by a silk cord.

and tied in loops at the back. with
the ends knotted and frayed out into
tasseis.
The small sketch illustrates the
book open, and shows the way in
which the silk cord holds the paper
in place, and when they have all been
used, they may be replaced in mo-
ment by merely slipping new set of
half-sheets under the cord
Photographs of views or portraits
are the most suitable kind Of cards to
select for this purpose, and this little
book would make present that would
please one of the little ones very
much, especially SO if his or her por'
