TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

To be afraid of the dark" is one of
the real tragedies of childhood. To be
sent up a flight of dark stairs into a
be left alone in bed with the friendly
light turned out, is torture for the
sensitive child.
Argument and punishment alike seem
futile, and often the parents lose pa
thence with the child. and, particularly
il it is boy, add ridicule and taunts
of cowardice to the misery of his fears
The pity Of il is that the grown-ups
have themselves TO blame for the con-
dition, for the child is necessarily fg-
norant of fear until the idea of asso-
ciating dark with danger is suggested
TO him in some way.
Here is the story of a wise little
mother and now she cured a very bad
her own words;
AT some time or other Billie must
have heard the servants or the other
children discussing ghosts and COB
Inns. for one night. when he close
to four years old. he startled me by
screaming out in fear when ! turned
out the ISnt IN ms room anu started
70 close the door. For long time he
was so hysterical that he could not
tell me what the matter was, but at
last ! understood that there was q
big black thing" in the corner, and
that it would get him If the room
was dark. ] trleu to explain that il
was the shadow east by the chest of
drawers; he would listen and seem
, ouieted. but soon the light went
out he would begin to scream again.
This went on for weeks, and was be
ginning 10 exhaust US both when / hit
upon the curative plan
We invented a game which We called
/ blind seek From the pia yboX we
| each selected FIVE toys: then went
! into mis- bedroom and with the gas
turned very low hid Tn. toys. The
! light was then turned entirely out and
each of US went into the room alone,
! closed the door and hunted for the
| hidden toys. At first Billy wanted the
| door left open just a tiny Bit and to
be sure that | was outside in the hall:
| but soon the play spirit took posses
sion Of his mind and he forgot to be
] afraid.
After that he would go TO sleep Won
dering where ne could hide the toys
/ the next night so that | could not find
] them, and the dark room became a
| place of fascinating possibilities in
| stead of chamber of horrors.
Now Billie is notorious for his fear

| has become a part of him.

cheekbones, that proba bly-no, surely
came from want of meat and vege-
tables in plenty. and with furtive in
tentness in his eyes that would under
value his attractions as companion
on lonely road-poor fellow. And he
watched the women, and, of course,
must haYe taken in their pyrotechnic
show.
When the car had spun around the
green black quiet of the Capitol
grounds. the prosperous man touched
a button that put him out at the House

bag and the other with theater pro-

sters.
The car spun on toward the sparsely
settled section of the far southeast.
And the only passengers aboard were
the women of the diamonds-and the
man behind.
As the robbery failed to show up in
the morning papers the man couldn't
have been as down-and-out as he look

Maybe. again. life was SO dull for him
that the two old girls took on the value
OF free show. And, naturally, 1t
might be that he was an honest man.
AS one spinster said to the other in her
relief at not having to go on the wit

"Only fate knows the real why that
man didn't swipe those diamonds-and

game full of excitement. In the first
inning the visitors scored four runs on
errors, base on balls, and a wo-bag-

start anything in its half. But in
their half of the second the local bows
certainly showed what they could do, as
II of their men went to bat. Timson
started off with two-bagger and his
mates followed with hits or bases on
balls, and the visitors helped out by
making errors. Timson also secured a
single in that inning. 1t is unusual for
a player TO get two hits in one inning.
After the second the local boys were

men left on bases. The visitors scored

In the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter of Paris or Judengasse Of Ber-

grandmothers gathered the little
daughters of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was

full. In each kitchen stood new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats.
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered, do you know what Ruth said
to Naomi?"
Yes each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest, l will go; and where thou lodg-
est, | will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my God"
And, beaming her pride, each moth
er then said:

reward of cake. With 1t one could

PERFECTION TO BE SOUGHT
Smali Probability Of Mankind Reach
ing It, But at Least the Effort
Should Be Made

We hear great deal about the fin
lshed product as applied to material
things. and enjoy tracing the details
which mark the successive develop
ments of objects from their crude con-
ditiOn to their finished state. In the
attainment of ali worldly objects we
want the best there iS-the finest silks.
the most beautiful pictures, the hand
soonest furniture, the most exquisite
tapestries, etc, are none too good for
our esthetic taste, yet unfortunately
we do not apply the same standard to
our own morals. 1t is enough that we
manage to live within the law, so to
speak. to keep just within the lines.
and 1t Is rare indeed that we find n
man who devotes his time and strength
to making finished spiritual product
of himself. Perhaps such feat Is I'M
attainable by mortal man. the human
side of his nature being too strong
to permit his more spiritual side to
gain the upper hand. Such reasoning
apparently paves the way for the
conclusion that most of us reach that
1t Is impossible for any man to at
tain condition OF perfection. This
is true. of course, but ut the same
time we must not forget that for al
our inability to ascend to the heights
| we can, at least, progress by eass
and natural stages toward their sum
mits. 1t does not make very much
! difference If we do not actually reacf
the top If we honestly do everything
within our power to do so.
