/. Your friends statement. IL correct,
was based on the fact that the child ap-
peared below the normal. At eleven
months a healthy child has four to six
teeth; creeps and begins to pull himself
up on his feet. He should. If normal at
birth. weigh twenty pounds, should be
twentyeight inches in height and seven
teen about chest. Any marked deviation
from this standard would indicate that
the child was under the normal, and the
first cause We should consider in this
connection is malnutrition 9. Most doc
tors advise beginning to wean not later
than the tenth month. The mothers
milk Is rarely sufficient for a child after
that period.

of the little girl who came running into

first looked at it..
/ was reminded of this story the other
day by letter from a perplexed young
mother who complained that her small
son was very untruthfuL She wrote:
Dear Aunt Chatty:
Wont you please write and tell me
how to correct my little boys untruth-

he will grow up to be that most despic-

do?"
As I had already been given this prob
lem to work out with my own two little
daughters. l was glad to write to that
troubled mother of my solution of it.
And I am still more glad to talk Of it
with other mothers through the medium
of the Mothers Club.
Don't think, though. that I learned
how to deal with my children all by
myself as the youngsters say. No. in
deed. 1t took years of study and thought
and prayer and much consultation with
other mothers. Even then l often made
grievous mistakes, as l can see now

were open to the need of guarding against

ture. One day l was sitting in her parlor
when her little girl ran in and cried:
Mamma, Mamma, some OF the littlest
fairies are out in the flower bed, dancing
on the leaves of the violets." She looked
at her mother in breathless eagerness.

I |. too. looked at the mother. wonder
ing what she would say. My Puritan

statement by the ugly word-''lie."
But the mother was not at all discon-
certed or even disappearing. She held
with interest:
How many fairies were there, CIara?''

replied
How lovely" said the mother. II am
glad my little girl is learning to see such

i The tears sprang to my eyes. I had
been an imaginative child myself, and
had been punished many times for just
such fabrications. All of a sudden
realized that the discipline ! had re-
ceived had made me draw into myself;
that because of the repression l had be-
come sullen. self-conscious. And that

precious gifts to poor. prosaic humanity.
Not long ago I had a letter from

The fad of wearing a single artificial
bloom. or tiny bouquet. is more marked

BILE and salable articles
Buy three-quarters of yard of soft
rose-crimson satin ribbon about three
inches wide. Cut the ribbon into five
equal lengths. Seam each length of rib
bon together on the wrong side, leaving
long ends of thread instead OF fastening
off. Turn the five-inch tube thus OBJ
tanned inside out and. folding in the edge
of the tube at one end. run a gathering
thread around. Draw it tight and the
puckered end will form the heart of your
rose. Now gather up each seam and
push back the ribbon on the long ends
of the thread to form the rose. Before
fastening off the threads. take needle
full of yellow silk floss and work some
French knots in the puckered heart Of
the rose to represent the pistil of the

Finally mount the rose on a small
spray of artificial green leaves, and your
dainty corsage flower is complete.

Among the various vacations open to
women few have the reputation of being
more remunerative than ADVERTISING
There are many stories going the rounds
and some of them are fairy stories, by
the way-of phenomenal money made
women advertisers. The woman who
| originated the idea used in the adver-
| tisement of a certain popular washing
preparation is said to have struck verl-
| table bonanza i'm that one idea. Certain
reports go so far as to say that she is
able to spend the rest of her life in
luxury from the proceeds of that one
happy thought. AS a matter Of fact
such stories are only partly true: for,
. although advertising is one of the best
, paid professions open to women, 1t takes
lust as much straight ahead plodding
and daily grind to earn large remunera-
ton in advertising as 1t does in anything
else
The large majority of all the women
vertising today rose to their present work
from other positions. They began as
stenographers. bookkeepers and other
office workers. illustrators and sales
women. Very few of them realized when
they started out to work for a living
that they would eventually become ad-
vertiser5.

When Old Folks Grow Young.

Get ready, lads and lassies; all
aboard. Peter Pans for today is cir.
Gus day in Washington. There's a far
away echo of the great calliope stir
ring in the mind. keeping time to the
jingle of accommodating pennies in the
small boys pockets.
For wars may come and vars may
go, but the circus will live on for
ever. Some weeks ago a rumor to
the effect that there would be no
big tent show in Washington this
year stirred all young hearted persons
to the depths. One might just as
we'll be told that the leaves would
not come out on the trees or that
the flowers would forget to bloom
along the Potomac. OF course it
wasn't so.
Early yesterday morning when near
1y all Washington was sleeping and a
portion of its Juvenile Inhabitants
were dreaming of whole hogshead.
of pink lemonade and vast mountains
Of white crackerjack. the hamboyant
cars Of the circus crept stealthily
into the lexington railroad yards,
and that settled it. For now all will
soon be ready for the throngs of cir
Gus 1overs-the gray-haired boys
grown TALL" the little tads and the
mothers and the aunties with their
young charges in tow.
And do you know that the circus
has wonderful psychological side .
In other words, it's a sort of q cure
all for big and little folks that's
bound to be good for whatever ails
them. Statistics show that 20 per
cent of the foundlings housed in our
great institutions die before they
reach the age of three years. And
some very wise men have said tina,
the want of entertainment. OF
course no one can pretend that these
wee ones could be saved by a visit
to tho circus. but they would be saved
did they but have that something"
which parents give their children, and
that something" eventually includes
a visit to the white tops For the
circus has the marvellous faculty of
taking people out of themselves"
The directors of our biggest institu-
tions for the insane are on record
as saying that there is nothing half
SO beneficial to their patients as
day at the circus. They are for
weeks afterward happier and more
content with their lot as a result of
it. Theodore Roosevelt. Jane 40
dams and other writer's have dwelt
upon the Importance of the circus
TO our national welfare. 1t is the
real Fountain of Youth. hidden far
away in the winter months, but al
ways sure to be with US when the
springtime comes and the daisies dot
the meadow lands. 1t is here today
and gone tomorrow. leaving nothing
behind save a purple memory or here
and there a spangle. perhaps. 1t is

terious. fascinating caravan that
