supported by the apparent facts in
his disposition.
Children which are so inherently
garded as compliments OF each
other. When they quarrel take the
stand that both are probably right
as they individually see the matter
and that both are wrong in so far
as they fail to see each Others
point of view.
Practically every family of two or
more children has to deal with
something OF the sort of differen-
ces which these two boys manifest.
Why not take advantage of the
situation and try to make each of
your children contribute something
to the others?
If they were all as much alike a.
the proverbial two peas" non"
would have anything to teach the
others. But being unlike in appe-
tite. interest. desire and natural
manners each brings to the others
many a new lesson In behavior and
many a new problem to solve.
From the habit Of looking upon
your children as very probably in
herently different, as requiring diff
ferent modes of treatment and you
will most likely sec . new light
upon the subject of their training.
You will enjoy the opportunity OF
helping each type to develop slowly
toward that peculiar form OF Per
fection which \ Wise Destiny e~4.

Prsfessor Of the University ~
kansss, and o widely known
Educator.
SSVVI IE have one boy eighteen.
w coarse-grained, wild
w Western type, and an
other sixteen, who is natural
born, refined gentleman. These boys
care little for each others company,
and, in fact, do not agree on many
ordinary matters. First, why are
these boys so different? Second,
what can be done to make them
mutually congenial?
"A PARENT"
The inquiry raises an interesting
question and one that is Tar more
common than Is usually supposed.
These brothers doubtless inherit
their dominant characteristics from
opposite sides OF the parental
house-one from the fathers, one
from the mothers. An uncle or
Erandparent may have been the
prototype in either case. While we
estimate that a child inherits one
half OF what is from his parents,
one fourth from his grandparents
and so on back, this represents
merely the law of averages. There
are many variations, and many or
them are very wide.
Since the Almighty, by His great
law of chance variation OF inher-
itances. made your two boys so
different, why should you wish to
recreate their natures and make
them alike? These young men will
normally pursue each a different
course of life from the other-dif-
ferent reactions In school. differ
ent behavior at home and in So
ciety, different interests as to .
vocation. different type OF choice
for a life mate, and so on And,
mark you, each one of them may in
time become the father of a son
practically OF the same type as the
other.
The usual practice OF the parent
OF inherently dissimilar children is
to worry because they cannot be
made agreeable to each other and
because they do not respond equally
to a given course OF training. Now,
first of all. let such a parent drop
the worry. Accept the two on
equal terms OF affection and good
will. Regard each of the two ma
lures seriously and as normal for
the type. Help each to develop his
peculiar temperament and to grow
into the type OF mature personality

For good heating with a hot

Shut the valves when the first drop

heating system and more should be
added.
The system as rule should be
kept flled with water even when
there Is no fire, as this prevents

water out OF the pipes TO prevent

If your house is heated with a

Turn the cocks above and below
the gauge frequently to keep the
openings from the boiler clear.
, About halt full is the right amount

can you expect. There's some
thing wrong about her. She asked

Queer streak she has, No really
nice, refined girl would do such
thing. II simply is not done"
I know, however, OF one happy
marriage where the woman pro
posed TO the man. Sne was rich
and he was poor and hard-working
and ambitiousu. She saw that hr
was in love with her, but would
not ask her to marry him while h"
had so little to offer. SO she asked
him instead, and financed certain or
his business schemes, which pros
pered exceedingly; and they have
lived happily ever afterward. But
such cases are the exceptions.
No matter how puzzled and heart
broken you may be. my dear girl
you do not really want TO marry a
man whose actions would seem to
show that ne had become indiffer-
ent to you; and neither do you
want to put yourself in any posi-
lion which you would find humiliat-

From the entrance OF the Prince

is apparent to the reader that he Is
going to marry the little Cinderella
sister, who alone of talented
family, has stayed at home to keep
the fires burning while all the rest
were away in the big city winning
fame, IL not fortune. The result
being never in doubt, IL is only a
question of how many pages the
author is going to take to accom-
plish that certainty. There is little
action in the story, and the authors
attempts at character delineation
have resulted in the creation OF
rather nebulous lot of personages,
who are apt to impress the reader
with the thought that they are In
