BY Mrs. Lcnorc r.. Ranus.

The play-instinct is Unborn in all
children the world over; il is ma
lures own method for developing
the senses, the muscles and all
bodily growth Play is even more
than this. it is the outlet Of express
sion Of the chiIds inner life. Many
faults as well as virtues may be dis
covered while watching children at
play. Perhaps a mother viii find
that her child is selfish or rude, and
II is easy TO discover a generous dis
position and a good temper in the
course Of "A pIay-hour.
Games are the expression of the
pIay-spirit and toys are the instru-
ments necessary for the expression
OF this activity OF child-life. AS a
farmer needs garden tools 20 do his
work, so a child needs toys for his
play-Or work, which play really is
70 him. And IL toys are not pro-
vided ready-made, he viii invent
them, in order 20 be able to express
his play-spirit and put into action.
All play depends upon the physi-
cal condition Of the child. A nor
NAL healthy child plays all the time.
is easily interested IN his toys and
as he grows older invents games
with them. If a child plays but
little, cannot easily be interested in
his toys, will not play alone and is
cross. look first to his physical con-
dition, then begin a course Of train
ing. or directed play. Start with the
suggestion, why not build a high

OF cars with your blocks" often,
especially in the case of an only
child. if mother can enter into the
play-spirit and play hide-and-seek,
or march and sing. or even build
with blocks, it is such a treat and
often a real help in promoting a
readiness TO play alone when mother
must go back 10 her work.
Almost every child wants to help
mother sweep, dust, make beds,
wipe the silver, or run errands
Make play out of the work and yet
let the little one feel he is really do

NOVEL UMBRELLA HANDLES.

NV AaAA AA4haN AfAAA4f1s
Umbrellas are always seasonable,
no matter what the condition OF the
weather. A good umbrella is con-
sidered worthy of a good handle.
and this year finds many novel and
decorative ideas which serve to en-
bellish the umbrella and to make it
more attractive in its gift mission.
OF course. there are the handles
of solid gold and of sterling silver
which are with us season in and
season out. Perhaps more TO the
taste Of the average woman are the
handles of amber. tortoise shell.
cloisOnne enamel and hand-carved
ivory
The damascene metal is ornamen-
tai and does not seem quite as os-
tentatious as that of the plain gold
and silver For the umbrella of ev-
ery-day wear the handles of bake
lite Will make an appeal. Some of
these are finished with leather wrist
straps and are TO be recommended
because of their unitarian qualities.
80 be sure, one can select an UNI
brtIla i'm colors, as we'll as in black.
The latter is, of course. the most
conservative and perhaps the most
satisfactory i'm the long run, but
there are any number OF women
who like an umbrella of dull purple,
of sapphire blue, of bottle green or
even of scarlet. whose cheerful
tones seem to have a frightening
effect on the wearer If not on the
weather itself
The walking stick umbrella comes
for both men and women. and, as
it's name signifies. looks like a
walking stick until a shower dis
closes its dual purpose.

New Year Resolutions.
Now that Christmas shopping is
over. and we can sit calmly down
and pick up the raveled ends of
our plans. let US put some serious
thought into our new year resolu-
tons. This year, OF all others, we
must plan far ahead. Have a re-
view of your wardrobe. Get every
thing out and sort them into three
piles; one for those things that will
do as they are; another for things
good enough 10 be made over; and
the third pile for things which you
can not use, but which someone
else may find a use for. This year
let nothing be wasted. Don't put
away things that you may want
some day" Use what you have on
hand before buying new materials
unthOughtfully; but when you do
buy. buy the very best quality and
The most becoming and lasting col
or for thus you can help.

The March of Liberty.

(By f. W. GrizZard,)
What mean this sound of feet,
And CLINT 81 eyes we sec,
The ma ny starry flags
And music's tensest key.
The surEIug human throng
And warriors chafing steed,
The sturdy tramp, tramp, tramp,
That to bloody heights lead?
What mean our own great guns
On distant battle lines,
When our soldier boys stand
Where the bayonet shines,
The whir OF eagle wings
And the untiinching charge,
| The glean of Old Glory
Where toll of death is large
These mean Columbia's call
At this most crucial hour
ITO dedicate herself,
Man and money power,
To end the reign OF Huns
Help make the whole world free
with Girdod loins to lead
The march of Liberty.

Liberty Bonds

Without these bonds securely in the hands

out the extreme limits of his or her present per
sonal resources and the probable extent of those
resources during the next year and then sub
scribes fully to those very limits the fotation
of this new issue of Liberty Bonds will not be
accomplished safely.
Consequently, if you are back Of this coun-
try. if YOU lay any claim at all TO the right to
salute the flag of the United States as it passes
by or to rise in silent reverence when the 'Star-
Spangled Banner" is played, You will 60 over
