The 6-year-old boy. Of my acduaint-
ance who is given 10 telling highly
imaginative stories about himself is
fortunate in possessing one adult re-
lative that understands.
His parents used TO be greatly wor-
ried by those stories.
Was II possible that their dearly
beloved was a born liar?
They used to ask each other ques-
tions of this kind with some concern.
Then that relative came along and
told them to let the child alone. He
was giving expression TO his growing
individuality. He had qualities that,
II properly cultivated. might make
him a creative artist
Those parents are still a little dubi-

noticed ard admired.
It is possible that the relative is right
in thinking that the child may develop
into an artist. Such children some
times do. But more often. when they
put aside their toys. they forget their
childish fancies and become as com
mOnplace and as practical as most OF
the world.
Though there may be loss here, there
is unquestionable gain in the adapta-
ton 10 reality and in the conforming
to standards. The ina ginative people
have great resources of interest and
enjoyment within themselves; but they
are likely to be out OF harmony with
the prosaic conditions and the prossic
people within their range.
The desire TO be important, 10 force
