sery is on the ground floor and is the
democratic chamber where there is
common ownership of miniature FUR
niture and playthings, and an atmos-
phere of genial, almost riotous, com

upper chamber, where infants luxur1-
ate in pinlk-lned cots.
When the babies arrive each morn
ing they are bathed' and put into their
cots with a, bottle for solace. Each
tOddler, before being set down to play,
is invested with a pretty nursery
dress, it's own clothes being carefully
put away in a numbered bag.
The dietary is: Lunch at 10 a. m
hot milk; dinner at noon, soup, fish or
eggs, and pudding; tea at o'clock,
cocoa, bread and butter and syrup.
Each child is given hot milk in the
evening before it is taken home.
There is an isolation room for chill
dren who appear to be ailing, and a
spacious sleeping room for the tiny
tots who only see their mothers at
weekends.

so you see, ladies. the problem
of keeping children busy is an individ-
ual problem. What is joy to one
child is unhappiness to another, but
the point to remember is that chill
dren must be kept busy if we want
them happy and contented. Run away
babies sometimes make runaway big
boys and girls who are restless and
dissatisfied so we must endeavor to
suggest agreeable occupation that
makes them use their hands and by
and their minds will develop suffi-
GENTLY to invent their own amuse-
ment. | run across this today and
think it is worth remembering:
A busy child is a happy child.
lule HHSeTS are usually uuullH 3
for mischief.
Idleness is learned in youth and
regretted in maturity.
Time spent to teach children occu-
patton is not wasted
There is more joy in a sand pile
than many expensive toys.
The ragged dolly is often more
precious to the child than the beauti-
fully dressed creation just from the
city.
Most boys prefer a hammer and
nails to the most expensive toy in
the market
Don't think because you are not
rich that your child will necessarily
lack amusement. Lack of amuse-
ment is usually a lack of imagination.
The average back yard contains all
the necessary material to build a
giants castle or furnish robbers
cave with its equipment of guns and
bowie knives.
Keep your child occupied from the
time he is born until he is a man and
you will save yourself a great many
worries.

What will | do with this baby to
keep her at home" said Mrs. Sayre
to the lady who sat next TO her al
the Baby Club. she runs away
every time she is outside the door"
The president OF the club heard
the question and calling the ladies
to order said The leader OF todays
lesson was unable to come and as she
has the material for the lesson at her
home we are going to be obliged to
depend on a general discussion OF
some interesting topic Mrs. Sayre
just asked her neighbor how TO keep
a baby at home. l believe we could
find ii worth while TO each one try to
answer that question. We might add
to that and keep the baby out of
mischief"
Il spank my boy when he runs
away" The little woman who spoke
had snappy black eyes and showed
her Impotence.
But that only creates fear in the
child and not JOY in his bones. why
not try to keep the child busy ana he
will forget to run away" The elderly
lady, speaking. had serious eyes that
told of much thinking.
Keep a two year old busy, why you
would not have time for anything else
1t was Mary who said this.
There are different ways of keep
ing children busy" and the serious
eyed woman continued. II don't mean
to sit down and play constantly with
the child and waste your energies but
suggested employment for little fling
ers is a great thing. | used to let
hoI cti lie urith
and pan, help me sell peas, wipe un-
breakable dishes and all sorts of
things just to keep them busy
81 haven't the patience to fool with
that sort of thing" the blackeyed
lady said very promptly
1T does take patience, but less
time than running after runaway
babies or clearing up the atmosphere
after good spanking" which makes
the baby unhappy and the mother
also. ! used to find that clothespins
were a source of Joy on wash days-and
a little basket with few pieces of
cloth and tiny flatiron helped to
pass away the time on ironing day. A
set of tiny pewter dishes kept my girls
out of mischief for hours at a time
providing the tea pot could have a
little water in it, and | know that
William was pretty small when he
began to find delight in driving tacks
in block of wood"
How could baby drive tacks?'
queried Mary.
oh, easy enough, if you go at it
the right way. His father found a
block of soft pine, and started about a
dozen tacks by driving them in lit
tie ways and then showing William
how 10 pound. 1t did not take him
long to learn how to strike them, in
fact he worked so fast it kept father
busy helping him"
But what a waste of tacks," per-
sisted Mary.
Eyes, it wasted few tacks. but not
very many, for when the block was
full one of us pulled them all out in
a few minutes and the boy had he
pleasure of driving them all in again.
The second time he could help him
self for the tacks would stand up in
the holes so he could strike them"
what a fine pastime for boy. /

tonight. Billy Boy needs new play
