By OLIVE A. SMITH.

other woman in existence,
needs to make a study Of the
best methods of turning off
work and economizing in labor
and nerve-wear. Not that she
should be always watching
herself to see that she does

die of tendencies. some Of which should be en-
couraged and some of which should be re-
pressed.
I thought, as she talked with me about the
wonderful possibilities inherent in each child,
what fine place this world would be II one
generation could be raised in such a way as to
achieve its utmost capacities.
But it can't be, for babies are all trained by
adults and adults themselves are very imper-
feet!
Nurses and teachers assist parents in the
work of impressing all the good old faults into
the child's plastic nature. We can't see this in
our own families because we are habituated to
our own faults. But when the consulting
mother points them out to us they leap into
the foreground with horrible distinctness.
AS walked through the park one day last
spring | wished that Mrs. SCOTS Office could
somehow cover that whole park. For there
were children who were being made restless
and children who were being made liars.
Little green leaves were pushing out on the
trees and bushes The lawns were saying,
"Come and roll on mel" The children were
agog with spring life.
One little tot in a white satin coat and
lace and rosebud bonnet was so restless in her
carriage that her nurse had to take her out.
She held the wiggler firmly in her lap. There
are no grass stains in the nurses lap.
What do you think that little girl did? She
kicked the enamel on her lovely, lovely, costly
carriage
Near by three adorable tots over and over
again started for rocky slope. One wore

Then she had long talk alone with the
mother. During that consultation, she uncov
cred an incident that was the root of the whole
trouble, advised the best method of counter
acting its effects, and discussed the boys nat
ure till the mother came to see how to avoid
such difficulties in the future.
The incident itself was so trihing matter
that no one before had thought it important.
The lads father had promised him fountain
pen as a reward The lad had earned it. 1t
was to be brought home certain night. The
lad planned to take it to school the next morn
ing. He had told his schoolmates all about 1t.
1t was triumph.
The father was nightworker. He came
home very late lie remembered 10 bring the
pen. but he did not think of putting it in the
boys room.
Next morning when school time came father
was still asleep. The boy just had to have
that pen. He woke up father. Father was
dog tired. He was in a rage at being walked.
He told the boy what he thought of him.
Father was outraged The boy was outraged.
Father forgot the incident. The boy did not
forget.
The story has happy ending. The father
was big enough person to admit that he was
to blame He apologized to his son. The two
were friends again. The boy is no longer
problem.
HOW FAULTS ARE TAUGHT.

all born vipers. Nor does she think that we
are born angels. Each of US starts as bun

is a crime against family life, for it robs 1t of
its charm. ... ..>...
True. it is not as great crime as the self
ishness which will have personal care at
sacrifice to others, but why is either extreme

That should be one Of the chief advantages
of housekeeping as a profession. 1t is pos

we can determine the capable homekeeper when
we see her attack her days work in the morn
ing.
OF course, there are exceptions to all rules
for an order of home work, but if the soiled
dishes are left piled upon the table or strewn
about the kitchen while she goes to cooking
or to work in her garden, it is sign that she
does not have her home work we'll in order
How many such housekeepers we see! very
often they work hard and accomplish great
amount of work, but their persons and their
houses are always in confusion. They are
usually hurried and furried-always complain
ing that they have mo time to do anything.
DON'T PUT THINGS OFF!
Procrastination is one of the greatest enc
mics TO successful housekeeping. There is
something distinctly amusing ii this element
of human nature which leads us to put off un-
til the last available moment something which
we know it would be much better to do at the
first available moment. 1t is habit whicn
causes trouble and sorrow untold.
Another working habit which is ruinous to
the home is that of leaving any piece Of work
half done and taking up something else which
appeals TO our fancy.
LIES activities are series of units. The
successful rounding out Of these units at
lacking only that number which can be round

This lad was surly and disobedient to his
father. The father loved him tenderly, worked
long hours for his sake, planned his 1uture'
and brought him gifts In return, the boy
was so unfriendly that the family happiness
was ruined. The mother, in despair brought
him to the Children's Garden and placed the
matter in MRS. SCOTS hands.
THE BOY WHO WAS UNFRIENDLf.
The ChiIdren's Garden is something like
doctors offce-but much pleasanter. MRS.
Scott is something like doctor-but very diff
ferent.
One is reminded of doctors office because
the house is in neighborhood where great
SPECIALISTS congregate, visitors are received Dy
appointment. and one waits ones turn IN
cheerful reception room
Mrs. Scott is like a doctor in the way she
puts her visitors at ease, the gentle serious
ness that takes away the personal side OF very
searching questions, and the scientific thor
ouphness with which she covers each case.
After she had talked little while with the
unfriendly boy, he lost all his seif-consclous-
ness and became interested in the things about
him. Then Mrs. Scott took him and his mother
into the payroom This is large, pleasant
room containing all kinds Of games and work
ing materials
Mrs. Scott told the unfriendly boy, who
wasn't at all unfriendly with her, that ne
might play with anything he liked and that
he could have. to take home, anything ne made
out of the paper or rafha or weaving SUITS OF
other materials there. While he played she
watched him, although he did not realize 1t.
Later she played with him.
Before he went home she knew his likes ana
his dislikes, his imagination, the quicknesS OF
his perception, his muscular coordination ana
his habits of mind. In some of these qualities
she could Judge him better than his mother
could, because she could measure him against
her knowledge of many, many other children.
She found him quick, responsive, sensitive
child.

Though the shops are filled with picked dam
+;os of all sorts even in the small towns, none
quite equal those that are made at home.
In households where salads are used almost
daily the value Of the salad vlnegars used oy
ENGLISH housewives should be better realized.
They are easily made and give a pleasant
change of flavor to the dependable French
dressing.
II The housewife is fortunate enough TO have
kitchen garden of her own to draw upon she
naturally will select only the best, freshest and
most perfect fruits or vegetables to pickle. If,
however, they must be chosen in town, then the
large markets will be the only reliable place to
get the things at their best.
In order to be safe and sanitary the porce-
lain lined kettle, the pottery casserole, the COW
cred pipkin, or new grante-ware kettle will
be best to use for the picked mixtures that are
to be cooked. Wooden spoons and spatuas for
stirring, silver knives for pairing and seeding,
glass bottles with new corks, glass jars with
new rubbers, stone crooks and crockery pots in
which to stow away the pickles will insure the
best-keeping conditions
It is needless to tell the experienced house
keeper to see that she has all things that will
but a warning to the novice may not be amiss.
A neat pile of cheesecoth squares will be
found saving of dish towels and they are
easily washed out.
Everything that is to be picked should be
carefully washed before being used, no matter
if it seems immaculate to the naked eye, for
some hidden dust or the trail of an insect may
Turk about the stem end and cause trouble.
The salad vinegars are easily made and
should be bottled in white, clean, sun dried
bottles. Cress and celery vinegars are made
in the same way.
Take one-haf ounce of cress seed, crush it,
and add it to quart of cider vinegar, cork
we'll and let stand for month, then strain out
the seeds and it is ready for use.
With the celery seed half cup Of freshly
washed and chopped celery leaves are added
with the seed, but in that they are allowed
to stand but two weeks and are then carefully
strained off,
Garlic vinegar is made by adding two
ounces of minced garlic to quart of cider
vinegar, and the shallot vinegar is made the
same way. Wine vinegar may be used if it is
better liked.
Beet vinegar is made by taking three
punches of freshly boiled strawberry beets,
cutting them in pieces and pouring over them
quart of white wine vinegar. Let them
stand twenty-four hours, or until the vinegar
is highly colored, then strain and bottle. The
beets may be used at table so no waste follows
the making of the vinegar.
Horseradsh vinegar is little more trouble
some to make than the others. Take three
ounces Of freshly grated horseradish, one

WHY PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
A child's nature is the combined result of
his heredity and his environment. A study OF
his heredity is important in determining his
emotional makeup, his limitations and his pos
siblities
But it is useless as a corrective, for heredity
is finished when the child begins and can't be
changed.
Environment, on the other hand, may be
made detrimental or beneficial. 1t can aid
child's development or thwart it. Environment
can even be so arranged as to correct inherited
tendencies.
Parents determine a child's environment
Indeed. one may say that parents are child's
environment.
That is why Mrs. Scott, as consulting en-
oineer in the science of embarrassing, scruti-
n;zes father and mother before reporting on
their youthful problems"
Occasionally a case turns up where 1t really
isn't the child who is naughty, but the parent
is. Take, for instance, the case Of the boy

For instance, Heloise was being reared with
all the care that love, plus intelligence couE
give her. Mrs Scott observed her in her home
Heloises health was perfect. Her msa,
were regular and well chosen. But Helda
had more of the healthy childs enjoyment 0.
eating. She was caprcious and fault-fndng.
The nursery was perfect in ventilation and
amendments. Heloise turned restessly from
toy to toy. Nothing interested her for an,
length of time.
The mother and the nurse never lost thei,
patience. never ceased trying to WIN her viii
courteous, cheerful effort. Heloise was uni
formly rude and ungracious. She appeared a
horrid, ungrateful little chit.
WHY HELOISE WAS BAD"
Mrs. Scott next observed her in play grou,
which she uses as kind of outdoor laboratory
After little time spent in getting acquainted
Heloise was playing with all the abandon AM
enthusiasm of happy, unconscious child
The question was, Why was Heose go&
child away from home and bad child al
home?
She herself answered it. The nurse ap
peared. Instantly Heloise turned into liyiri
tantrum. When Mrs. Scott succeeded Il
soothing her to the point of being able to spesi
coherently she cried:
"She's a wicked, wicked woman. Sh
watches me all the time'
There it was, Heloise was having too muct
good bringing up! Everything was being
done for her. When her developing energ
sought to expend itself this way or that, nurx
or mother jumped to do the thing for her.
Mrs. Scott said that Heloise needed 70 as
sumo responsibilities for herself, find her Owl
amusements and look after her own Attain
In brief she needed little letting alone
This case, too, has happy ending. Mother
and nurse and Helose are all doing well under
the new ruling.
