HOME INFLUENCE
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

1t Is a platitude to say hat there
is no other influence in the world so
au-powerful as home Influence, and
that we go through life bearing the
marks that was stamped upon US In our
plastic childhood.
1t is the Importance Of home influ-
ence that makes many Of us believe
that people who are %unhapplly mar
raed, but who have children, should
bear almost any wrong rather than
break up a home and tear children from
their natural environment, and deprive
them of either a mothers or a fathers
love and guidance.
No one is so blind as not to perceive
the haneful effect that divorce must
inevitably have upon the children OF
a household, but few parents realize
that scarcely less disastrous is the eff
feet that a quarrelsome home has upon
the children In II. =.
Testimony on this subject that hould
make all fathers and mothers do some
very serious thinking a just been
given by the judge In n juvenile court
who declares that he has found that
almost Invariably the children who go
wrong are either the children OF di-
vorced parents, or else OF parents who
are always quarreling with ach other.
He says that the evidence of these
children shows thai they lost respect
for their fathers and mothers, because
their parents had no s~elf-eontrol; that
they were insiduously taught selfish
ness, because both father and mother
we're struggling to get the best OF every
thing for himself or herself, and that
they fought instinctively because they
had been brought up In an atmosphere
OF strife.

But the Skeezicks knew nothing
about kites. Instead of letting go he
held on and up he went-away up in the

But Tommie didn't hear him, and

Some of the color left Estrelda's face,
Mot Freddieg" she asked slowly.

left hand was wounded, dear, rather
badly. Freddie tries TO pretend that
it's nothing. But j can't help feeling
that maybe 1t will be useless to him
after this"
"His left handl'' said Estrelda. WHY

one hand?"
There would be a lot of things he
could do, dear, 1t would be your chance
to help him.
Yes, said Esrtelda, yer so slowly
and quietly.
For a while she stood staring before
her. Mrs. Mason did not speak. She
watched the girl,
