The Trying Days

~HE housewife who has the care
Of children added 70 her duties
Of housekeeping has an anxious
time indeed when there is illness in
the nursery But perhaps more try
ing than the days of actual Illness
are the days Of convalescence, espe-
cially il il is imperative TO keep the
little conyalescent sin bed after his
spirits have returned for the hours
drag heavily when he is not allowed
to romp about as usual Few mothers
have leisure enough 10 devote them
selves entirely to a child in conya-
lescence and perhaps IL is better for
the child in the long run IL he does
not become accustomed to too con
stant entertainment Habits of that
sort are very hard to break when
health is regained-
So many toys seem 10 be built only
for well children. There are SO few
things that can be played with in bed,
and it often happens that the things
that answer the purpose of bedtime
toys the best are not primarily in
tended for toys at all.
The child who is too young TO read
or TO appreciate picture books TO the
fun is perhaps more difficult to keep
entertained than older children. AS
soon as a child may be trusted with
blunt scissors much amusement can
be gained from cutting colored papers
or even bits of colored cloth from the
scrap bag. However. il is en- excel
lent idea with anything of this sort
that really seems TO entertain, not to
permit the child to spoil the diver
sion by playing with il after he is
fatigued Allow him to play with it
a few hours every day. taking IL away
when he is not playing with 1t so
that il will come back with something
of freshness the next day.
Do you know of the old-time source
of amusement Tor very little children
"a bar of soap and a package of
thumbtacks or brass headed tacks :?
Even nails will answer the purpose
and you will find that soap that is
fairly fresh is better than that which
has dried out The simple idea is to
let the child amuse himself by
pressing the tacks into the soap. 1t
sounds. possibly, absurd, but the fact
is that most children around two
years old will amuse themselves in
this way, whereas they soon weary
of toys and picture books. And the
very satisfactory thing about Ii is
that ii requires no attention from the
mother because pure soap can do no
harm and a serious prick could not
be inflicted by a little tack. More
over, the soap after II has bSea used
in this way is scarcely the worEs and
the tacks of course naay be saved for
future use.
There are many simple amuse-
ments OF this sort, that require moth
ing but the resourcefulness of the
mother to devise. and often they
serve TO while away the weary hours
Of convalescence better than expen-
