work and who earns her living wash

it to do and often goes hungry when
she cannot-and she is the mother of

beats her and know he'd like to put
her in house because she'd earn
more money that way. Since she's
married him she's spent all she
makes on him. never saw her wear
such cheap, ragged underclothing as
she showed me the other day since
she has been at that work.

she's scared to death of him. One

the use? I'd only have been arrested

her to tell him before me if hadn't

life and she sat there with face as

A WOMAN'S HAIR AND
THE STORY 1T TELLS

Somebody has said that a woman
teeth are milestones indicating her
age, but a far more important feature
indicative of years is the hair. Many
woman has kept her youthful APP
pearance long past middle life because
of proper care of the hair, and in this
care the first considerations are abso-
lutte cleanliness and a choice of the
right shampoo. 1t is not advisable to
use a cleanser made for all purposes,
but rather always use a preparation
made for shampooing only. You can
enjoy the best that is known for about
three cents a shampoo by getting a
package of Canthrox from your drug
gist. Dissolve a teaspoonfuI in a cup
of hot water and your shampoo is
ready After it's use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair Will be
SO fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair grOwth.-Adv.

convenience Of the grown-ups. Order" means
TO us the arrangement that is most convenient
or least disturbing. 1t is therefore hard tor
most OF us to realize that our very order is
a serious obstacle to the childs acquiring or
derlv habits. The order that we maintain is
quite arbitrary. from the childs point OF view,
for everything is disposed according to our
adult habits, our size. our uses, and not the
child's To make the child acquire the habit OF
having a place for everything and OF keeping
everything in its place we must first OF all
make sure that everything with which the child
has TO do has place that is quite accessible
to him.
One of the frequent questions that mothers
in search of counsel bring is How can l teach
my child 10 be orderly?" The mother who is so
much concerned about orderliness would hard
ly lack orderly habits herself but she may lack
habits that fit the needs Of the child in this par
ticular. The first thing necessary is TO realize
that the child is not 'by nature" orderly, in the
sense in which trained adult is orderly. We
forget the long, hard struggle through which
we attained to our present state. and expect Of
the child what is hardly possible for the child
10 give. When we are ready to begin with
the child as we find him we must first Of all
provide place that is quite accessible to him
for each Of the various things that he uses
constantly.
That his towel and his toothbrush are al
ways on their respective hooks goes without
saying. But the same principle applies to all
the things for which he has frequent use and
for the care OF which we wish to hold him
responsible. There should be a place for his
toys, and the place should be unoccuped by
the belongings of others when it is time for
the child TO put his toys away after his play
There should be a place for the coat or the
bonnet, and one that can be reached with
out the help OF chair or an adult. 1t is only
when these places are provided that we have
the right TO demand of the child that he OBJ.
serve the order prescribed for him.

found in packing case with number of
shelves in it. This may be papered or stained
on the outside, and closed off with curtain
of checked Bingham or other suitable ma
terial. The interior of this cupboard should
be sacred. ard no one should enter it without
the child's consent In this way he may be
held responsible for whatever he puts away.
And IN this way he may also learn to respect
the exclusive possessions of others
The child should have his own place not
only for the putting away of his treasures. He
should also have a place that may be
his, when necessary, for undisturbed work, or
play or study. 1t is hardly fair to expect a
child to do his studying. or even his reading, in
the midst of the conversation and laughter

has learned to put the toys away, it would be
well to overlook all the other desirable habits.
Then we might take up the care of the street
clothes, and so on. AS the child becomes
older and new kinds of things come to be
handled, the earlier habits will not be auto
matically transferred to the new needs. But
on the basis of the earlier experience it be-
comes possible for the child to understand
what we mean by order or by having every
thing in its place, and then it should be sufi-
cient to remind him of the rule, or of the con-
venience of being able to get what is wanted
with the .lesst loss of time.

N OMESTIC architecture OF the present
day seems TO have developed from the
- assumption that people just grow up
without ever being children. Certainly very
few homes have any place that a child could
call his own. There may be bed for him to
sleep in at night, and we sometimes see a high
chair in a dining room, but there are com
psratvely few homes in which there is room
that is especially set aside for the child, or
for the children. The provision Of such room
Is. OF course, the ideal condition. But since
most Of US are not able TO provide such a
room. we feel that there is nothing more for
us to do, and, as a consequence, most children
have no place at all.

place, it is usually located with reference to ne

Most children are easily distracted, and it
is so easy to forget" that the clothes are to
be hung up Immediately upon coming into the
house, and that the blocks are to be put away
before another toy is taken up. In difficult
cases it is best to concentrate on one habit
at time, instead of trying to teach general
principle of orderliness. Thus, until a child
