GERMANY'S PLIGHT,

The Practical demand of President
Wilson for the unconditional surren-

The Huns may use his message to
convince their people that the allies
are waging war of determination.
They will not explain in this connec-

throw of autocracy and barbarism
rather than the determination of
people.
If the war is prolonged il will be
simply a last ditch stand. The ulti-

CHAPTER LXu.
Copyright, 1918, Star Company
Some of Elizabeth Wade's affairs
materialized as she had expected.
About others, she changed her plans.
y One thing happened as she had
hoped. Her brother took her back
to Riverhill with him.
There was no need OF her remain
ing at the farm. Mrs. Chaplin was
TO have what she called "a vandoo"
OF all the furniture there. Clifford
preferred furnishing the Chicago
fiat with more modern articles than
those used for years in the New
Hampshire house.
Martha Chaplin herself-feeling
almost opulent with her husbands
comfortable life insurance and the
prospect of being supported by her
son-raised no objections. She be-
Neved that she was beginning life
again on n new and more luxurious
scale than that which she had al
ways known.
"Of course" she said to Eliza
beth, whom she came to see on the
day before the Wades' departure
for the West. its going to be hard
in a way, leaving the house where
pa and me lived so long. But Of

the child's lips after you repeat n
new word, so that he will be en-
couraged to make a still greater
effort in order to elicit your appro-
val. Don't wait for the child to
pronounce the word correctly before
you approve him; if you did this, the
chances are our lesson would be Il
failure. By being very enthusiastic
and approving almost no attempt at
first, you will gradually get more and
more response from the child.
You may use the principle of eX-
pectancy in this lesson to advantage
by looking the child %squarely in the
eye and positively affirming that he
a say the world you pronounce and
showing him that you really expect
him to pronounce it correctly.
One new word in the first lesson
is enough. End the lesson happily
so that the child will enjoy future
lessons of the same kind.
After the child has learned to say
several words with one syllable. then
YOU can teach him TO say a few
words with two syllables. Finally.
you can teach him short sentences.
Your child will gradually learn to
talk by imitation. 1t is therefore
advised that you pronounce your
words very distinctly in the home
so that the more common words will
be impressed on his mind.

can talk easily and that he is eX-

have. But l shall need nothing elab-
orate-for we are going to live on

"All the year around?" her
brother gasped.
Yes" she smiled, "all the year
around. That is why John is
going to spend most of the time
between now and our wedding at
the East. He is planning to have
the old house remodeled, all mod
ern improvements added, and the
whole place converted into a spot

rest of our days"
And what will he do?"
"Qoosey!" his sister leased.
What should he do but practice
the profession that he loves-scien-
tifc farming? You forget what it
has done for him this year"
John Butler, entering Douglas
Wade's little sittingroom unan-
nounced, heard the last words and
laughed.
1T was only incidentally the
farming that made me the well man
l now am" he declared. Douglas,
old chap, you are some doctor, 1
admit, and you deserve every bit of
the reputation you are making so
fast. Yet. clever as you are, your
plot to cure me would not have been

POTTER"
Douglas started to retort, then,
seeing by the expressions on the
faces of the young people that his
presence was quite su~perfluous. he
slipped from the room. OF course
they had important things to say
to each other.
Yet the remark uttered by John
Butler was neither original nor I'M
usual.
Less than six months, darling"
he ~murmured, kissing his betrothed.
Yes" she answered, clinging to
him, lin less than six months we
will be together again on the dear
old farm-our home!"
1t was quite evident that they
had forgotten all about Douglas.
and were just now not even aware
of his existence.

And, of course, Jimmy's parents
were proud because to them, this
meant papa" or mama" or most
anything they had wished him to
say.
our child to use only one or two
words to express many ideas, when
by a little systematic training he
can easily be taught several words.
A child that is old enough to say
Dada" is old enough to be taught
other sounds.
Let us take a typical case. A moth
er writes to me:
/, "Our nineteen-month-old son is
very slow about talking-in fact,
says only three words. Will you
please tell us how to teach him?"
To encourage your child to talk,
give him short but frequent definite
lessons. Begin each lesson by hav-
ing him say one or two words which
he a say, and which he has said
correctly before; praise him and
show so much enthusiasm when he
says each word that he will be in
the spirit to attempt other words.
Just after he has said some familiar
word and you have praised him, pro-
nounce some new word of one sylla-
BILE very distinctly and expect him
to say that, just as you expect him
to repeat the first word given him.
Let him see no difference between
your manner of presenting a fami-
liar word and that of presenting a
new one.
Do not attempt to give this lesson
unless you are in the proper mood
for it because, otherwise, you might
fail not only in the present lesson
but make a wrong or undesirable
impression for future lessons! You
Must be very optimistic, cheerful.
enthusiastic. Approach the lesson
with the same enthusiasm that you
would if you were giving the child
the greatest treat of his life.
Say "All right, now say me-"
(Repeat the pronunciation once or
twice very slowly and distinctly
Now let us both say it together
me, me, mel" Pause just long
enough between each word to pro-
duce the effect of rhythm which
makes it easier for the child. Be-
fore and after almost every word
you say, smile encouragingly.

maybe he will later on have
enough from pas insurance to
make me feel I am not a depend

ways be a place for me in Cliford's
home"
There should be-" Elizabeth af-
hrmed promptly. You've been a
good mother"
We'll, that may be, too" Mrs.
Chaplin admitted. But there's few
young men as good and steady as
my boy. Yet"-suddenly r~ecollect-
ing her manners-"I must say Mr..
Buffers lovely, too. I'm real glad
you and him are engaged, my dear.
And 1 hope you'll be happy. Your
brother tells me Mr.. Butler is buy
ing the farm off him."
Yes" Elizabeth nodded, he is"
We'll, I'm glad. since you're so
fond of the place. And 1 hope
you'll be happy here. When do you
get married."
Not before next summer" Eliza
beth told her.
For this was n OF the points on
which she had changed her mind.
In her unsettled condition she had
planned to marry as soon as posi-

hill for the winter. she was willing
to have an opportunity to become
accustomed to her new happiness
and TO make the acquaintance OF
her future sister-in-law and OF
Johns mother.
They will be sure to love you.''
John had predicted.
: His prophecy came true. Mrs,
Butler received her warmly. She
felt that Elizabeth was indirectly
I responsible for Johns restoration
TO complete health. Such being the
case, what wonderful care she
would be able to take care, of him
through all the years to come!
Elizabeth herself was conscious
of the need of rest and freedom
from responsibility after her strenu-
u summer. these she found in
her brothers home.
For Douglas Wade was very han
Ply at this juncture. His practice
had increased by leaps and bounds,
and, while he was far from rich,
he saw approaching the point where
he could afford to marry.
His fiancee showed herself much
pleased with his sister, and the
TWO girls became friends in a sur
prisingly short space of time.
Alicia went TO New York with
her mother to purchase her trous-
eau late in the winter. Until
then it had not occurred to Doug
las Wade that his sister should be
making similar preparations for the
renewal of her wardrobe, as she
was to be married in the early sum-
mer.

of joy long enough to remember
that Elizabeth had hers, too; what
about your trousseau? Don't YOU
