So small a thing as a word Of praise

experience, your skies did not grow

GUS thought about how and when to give

I BIRTHDAY
: AND Yours
July 28-Mary Anderson.

In the fifteen years that Mary An
derson spent before tho footlights
she gained for herself a reputation
for loneliness and real genius as an
actress that has been rivalled but sell
dom by American actresses. She was
born in Sacramento, Cal, in 1889 and
four years later her father died leav-
ing his young widow dependent large
ly on her own resources. When Mary
was eight her mother married a sur
geon in the Southern army who
proved to be the best of all possible
fathers to Mary.
Mary'S education was OF the best.
spending several years in an academy
of the Presentation nuns. Here she
read Shakespeare and the works OF
other dramatists and received her firsy
incentive to acting. In her early teens
she saw Edwin Booth. and his really
marvellous acting fired her to real
ambition. She consulted her foster
father who saw behind her timid man.
ners and girlish reticence. marks of
real genius. Thus encouraged she
sought the aid of Charlotte Cushman.
always so ready to give aid to those
who had promise of ability. From
Father Anthony Muller. a Franciscan
priest. she received her first lessons
in elocution and finally when she was
sixteen she made her debut in Louis
vile. Her success was almost imme-
diate and a year after her debut she
was leading woman in a company OF
her own. She has often been called
the greatest of all American actresses
Equal to her success on the stage
was her popularity of the stage. In
this country she was much sought
after by society leaders and in Eng
land she received much favor from
the English nobility and royalty. But
in spite of all this attention she kept
her head and married her first and
only love. NJ. Antonio de Navarro. a
Venetian gentleman. This was in 1890
when she was thirty-one and the fol-
lowing year she sold her stage ward
robe-a sign that her career as an
actress was ended.
Unlike many an actress who leaves
the stage at marriage only to be
tempted back again within q few
years, Mary Anderson never, returned
The most fattering of offers from
managers did not move her and she Is
still content to live the life of domes-
tic happiness as Mrs. Antonio F. de
Navarro.

EASY DISH WASHING.

Dishes have to be washed-they have
to be washed for three meals a day in
most households and for cooking besides.
So the problem of dish washing is not
one that can be evaded. 1t is one that
must be conquered.
To begin with. no matter how hot the
weather. there must be plenty OF not
water. When the water must be heated
by gas or kerosene it is bit OF an
extravaganza but even so it Is Justtf-
able extravaganza. The same eXpendi-
ture for plenty of boiling water brings
far more pleasure and comfort to the
dish washer than for candy or soda
waters.
The second thing OF importance In dish
washing is a system. Have some sys-
tenn, worked cut according to your own
particular needs, and stick to it. One
young housekeeper has a white enameled
tin box in the kitchen and in this every
night she packs the soiled dinner dishes
which takes about three minutes. Then
she washes and dries the silver and glass
and leaves the kitchen in perfect order.
In the morning she adds the boxful OF
dinner dishes to the breakfast dishes. As
the dishes are completely covered. there
is no untidiness in this method. and It
leaves the evening free for the busy.
young housekeeper.
Whenever dish washing time comes, don
big apron. Have soap that does not
irritate the skin of your hands. Have a
dish mop.
If the dish pan when resting on the
floor of the sink is so low that you
must lean over to work in 1t, raise 1t on
a wire rack Stack all the dishes neatly
in piles at the right of the dish pan.
Wash them in soapy water, lifting them
out with the left hand and placing them
In wire dish drainer. When the dish
pan is empty. empty the soapy water.
fill it with clear hot water, plunge the
dish drainer of dishes into this, and then
stand II again on the tray to drain. Then
soap the hot water in the pan and begin
to wash more dishes
Now the dishes which have been scald-
ed and put in the wire drainer need not
be dried with towels. If the water is
really scalding hot and the dishes are
carefully washed, they will quickly dry
with brilliant gloss. and are then even
cleaner than if dried with towels. Glass
and silver. however. must always be
dried with towels to be glossy. So when
the method above Is followed Ii Is a
good plan to wash the dishes first and
to wash the glass and silver next. These.
too. must be rinsed-the silver in very
hot water-and. while you are washing
and drying them, the dishes will be dry
ing themselves. and will be ready to place
on the shelves. probably by the time the
pots and pans have been cleaned. II they
are not quite dry. throw a clean towel
over them to protect them from dust and
let them stand until dry.

she Is prevented from making any real

These cases are two extremes. am
willing to admit that the objection 1
think l hear you make. but somewhere
between the two lies the real road to the
best method. 1t takes genuine skill and
much care on the part Of parents and
teachers to praise at the right time and
| in due measure so that the child will not
work for the sake of the praise itself-a
low motive forever fatal to real achieve
ment.
Do you see what mean? Inconsider-
ate praise infiicts a real injury upon a
growing mind. For one thing. II we
carelessly praise him for some one thing
he has done we'll. We may lead him to
think that is the all-important thing for
him to do; we concentrate his tastes on

be apt to lack the balance and mental
symmetry that the good specialist
should have.
There is not time in this talk to develop
my thought as clearly as I would like.
but I want to ask every one of our mem
bers to try to praise her children SO as
to increase their Joy in the achievement
itself. and not to find the Joy In the
commentator for the achievement.

Los Angeles "City Mother

Mrs. Aletha Gilbert has been elected
city mother" of Los Angeles. Cal. This
is a new position. and 50 far Los Angeles
is the only city in the world to have
mother, and Mrs. Gilbert the only wom-
an to hold such a position. She was
elected to this unique position by the
city council and the police commission
with the approval Of the chief Of po-
lice. She Is to have q board Of women
advisers which is to be called the City
Mothers Bureau.
The plan Is to make the bureau .
place where troubled mothers and err

or protection can appeal without pub
iiclty. The bureau Is to be strictly con-
ddential and Ii to do away with women
