Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value IN
til it has reached years Of discretion.
There are so many little helps that can
be offered to make work attractive to
children. For instance, q successful
way to teach child to put Its soiled
clothes out Of sight is to make for its
own use a little laundry bag Of some
cheerful color and on it embroider the
word Laundry" Hang it on a peg
low enough for the child to reach and
you will not have to remind the child
more than two or three times OF its
duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the chtld's room you
should at least let the child share a
bureau or dressing table with some one
so that it can be taught quite young
to put hair ribbons. haHdkerchiefs. etc.,
In a certain place. Let it understand
that the space reserved is all its very
own.

It must have been William Morris

for he was the most conspicuous men,
Der of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood,
the group Of persons who banded
themselves together. to see if they
could not better matters. To make
way for better things the bad had to
be done away. and Norris faithfully
crusaded against the anti-macassar, the
whatnot, the floral carpet. the gilded
chair, the old black haircloth and the
hideous furniture of the time.
He fell short Of absolute success be-
cause he tried to create a new and bet
ter thing. If he had only turned the
tide backward and resurrected the
beautiful furniture of the eighteenth
century the world would have been
just so much more full Of good and
beautiful things. Instead. he made
possible by his movement the simplici-
ty Of the newer furniture. which.
If not thing of beauty in itself. clear
u ed the decks for action. so that when
it's time was run somebody else would
cast the necessary backward glance.
All this. Of course. has taken up un-
til this twentieth century. The back
ward glance happened some years be-
fore the merchants began to feature
period styles. In between people real
lied that there had never been dis
played such genius as the designing OF
furniture in the bygone time. They
took to it as ducks to water. Its
vogue had increased and grown until
the whole modern furniture trade has
bent its back to accomplishing this
business properly.
