TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Their Holidays Oft Demoralize the
Household.
PREPARATION is NECESSARY
Mental as Well as Material Readjust-

Cope With Situation With
Success.
BY SIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

WITH a sigh of relief certain moth
w er sank into rocker and eX-
claimed: "Thank goodness this vaca-
ton is over and the children will be
back in school tomorrow -
And her expression of relief was
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of course-in
thousands of homes all over the land.
Every year, several times year,
whatever routine may have been for
tunate enough to establish in our vari-
Gus households is rudely broken up by
the advent of holidays and vacations.
No matter how experienced we are, no
matter how carefully we plan our cal
endar and figure our budget, the holt
days always seem to catch us una
wares. OF course we know they are
coming. We make preparations, some
times weeks in advance, for hundred
little details. But we never seem to
anticipate the fact that the vacations
and holidays do break up the routine
for sleeping and eating and playing.
Indeed, our weekly Saturdays and Sun
days ought to teach us Il lesson, but
some of us simply will not learn.
Have you never noticed that children
will sleep later on Saturdays and on
holidays than they do on ordinary
weekdays? And by the same token
they will sleep later during holiday
week than during ordinary weeks.
And then we are annoyed anew that
breakfast is late and that the "whole
house is upset"-annOyed and some
what perplexed, too, for we do not seem
able to make out just what the trouble
is until 1T is all over.
But that is not the worst of 1t. There
is always something extra to do during
these trying days-all the more reason
why we should be undisturbed-but
then the disturbance is at its worst.
1t is all very exasperating as well as
perplexing, and it only shows how pa
tient we are that there isn't more fric-
ton than there Is.
But when we come to think of 1T, the
children are not so much to blame. If
there are boys or girls home from col
lege or boarding school, don't they

Because most city lots are deep and
narrow, Ii is unusual to see u house
designed as city home which has its
longer dimension across the front.
Aside from the few cases already men,
toned in which it is necessary to cut
lots of peculiar shape on account of
streets intersecting at sharp angles, the
only place where a house with wide
front is likely to be used is on corner
lot which offers frontage on two
streets. Even If plenty of room is
available, the usual custom is to build
a house with its narrow side to the
front, even though such practice robs
the owner Of space which might be
used ms large front or back lawn and
presents the narrow side of the house
as the only part that is ever noticed
by passers-by.
The design shown here presents an
unusually attractive appearance from
the street. Since the gable roof Is
placed with its ridge parallel to the
street, the tile-covered surface, broken
by the dormer with its six square win
dows, is a prominent feature. The up
per floor is finished with shingles,

They Will Sleep Later During the
Holidays.

want to spend much time with their
friends? You wouldn't have it other
wise; yet that means visiting and en-
tertaining-and you have to take your
share. And it means getting ready and
keeping appointments or missing
them-and coming home late, and then
perhaps little more conversation with
the door half open; and all of these
things do so break up the even tenor
of older peoples ways.
Then there is the excitement that
goes through the air; you simply can
not escape it. And the noise itself is
distracting enough. Nor are the young
er children any more restful. Every
body seems to feel inspired by the
anarchy of interrupted routine of
work and play.
And 1T always takes us by surprise.
But why can we not be prepared?
Well, we can If we know just what 1t
is that we are to prepare for. We are
prepared with the additional apples or
cookies, and we usually have our dec
Orations and housekeeping off our
hands in time. But the Irregularities
of the children's free time find us
mentally unprepared. The fact is that,
although we have again and again ex-
perienced the distraction that comes
at these times, we persist in keeping
our thoughts In their familiar ruts,
with the result that the demands upon
our attention made by the children
come as disturbances, and we resent
them.
The kind of preparedness needed by
the parent for meeting the trying or
deals Of the children's days at horne is
entirely a mental one. 1t is, in fact,
nothing but assuming the appropriate
state of mind. And the problem is one
that every woman can understand from
her own experience. Just imagine, for
example, that you made an afternoon
call on a friend, or attended recep-
ton, with your mind fixed on the de-
tails of your domestic establishment.
You know just exactly what would
happen. Mrs. Gushley will make re-
mark about the lovely fur trimmings
on your cobweb-netting dress, and you
will answer, absent-mindedly, that you
intend to get the trimmings for the fir
tree after putting the last batch of pre-
serves away. Or someone will ask you
to pass the sandwiches, and you will
catch yourself thinking aloud, Don't
You know when you have enoughT

Sensible Idea in Japan.

In Japan the nursery is still protect

not ut home" In the Welcome His

and objects of medical interest"
among which these nursery notices oc-

notices are the charms embodied as
toys. A yellow tiger with a wagging

of interest. And when it Is all over
we still feel that we have experienced
u real hardship.
When the holiday season next ap-
proaches-and, so far as the children
are concerned, there is respite from
routine every week-let us be prepared
by clearing the decks, as far as posi-
bic, of all thoughts and concerns that
dren's own interests. Let us then give
the children, while we are with them,
our undivided attention, confident that
our neglected cares will receive their
due share when the children are about
their business.

the best possible effect in the appear
ance of the houses built on the narrow
lots. OF course, it will be necessary
TO design these houses with the larger
dimension across the front. This often
helps the room arrangement rather
than causing difficulty in grouping Of
rooms. AS far as the exterior appear
ance is concerned, there is an adj
vantage in the wider side Of the houses
being placed near the street, in that
many pleasing effects are possible in
the window and porch design, and the
wall finish is more effective than in the
case of smaller wall surface. Az
other advantage of this type of house
is found in the possibility Of artistic
and distinctive roof treatment.
The building line should, of course,
be maintained in accordance with that
which is established by the majority of
