IL goes without saying that the parents
promise to the child should always be kept.
But the temptation to yield to opportunities
or 70 distract the child's attention from i'm
mediate desires often makes US prophesy ia
vors and indulgences that we do not fully in
tend to have realized. And it is SO easy 70
concoct a plausible evasion! But 1t is dan
serous advantage that the parent takes when
he thus imposes upon the ignorance and the
nervousness Of the child. For however
plausible your excuses may be, each expert
ence with parental promise that ends in dis
appointment drives home the thought that
promises are intended only for immediate ad-
vantages and not for future obligations.
AS the child grows older and comes TO I'M
derstand that promise does carry with it an
obligation, we should be careful not TO bur
den him with promises that are too difficult
to keep. Have him promise less and keep his
word up to 100 per cent. rather than get
larger total performance at the cost of few
broken promises. The ability 10 look forward,
10 gauge his strength and resources. to plan
his time. must not be too heavily strained. 1t
is only gradually that the child learns what he
may undertake with reasonable probability
OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. And in the meanwhile II
is unfair to urge the making OF promises that
must be broken in whole or in part. The dan
ger. Of course. is not that the child will fail
in his undertakings. but that ne will become

when using it be sure to wear gloves and
avoid inhaling it.
The rubbing and boiling processes vary, OF

and colors must be washed in tepid water, not
rubbed suenuousy and rot boiled. White
clothes need not be treated so tenderly. Soap
should not be rubbed directly on silks, woods
and colors Miss Ba.derston thinks the use
OF soda is generally unnecessary. but adds that
il it is used it should be thoroughly dissolved.
A good white soap is better Tor delicate col
ors and fabrics than strong yellow soap.

and after boiling. The more rinsing the bet
