Matters Appertaining to House
hold Management.
MYTH the approach OF May
w many move from one resi-
dence to another. But
what becomes of the baby during
this upheaval7
A young woman. evidently q
very bad manager, rushed into a
neighboring physician's office the
other day with a two-year-old child
who was screaming hysterically
from a splinter in the knee. ac-
quired while the family was NOV
ing.
II meant pain, heartbreak, ex-
pense, suspense. and many trips
to have the injury dressed.
Surely a nursery where working
mothers put their babies would
take care of a child for a day dur
ing moving. Here at least baby
would be reasonably safe. would
be under the watchful eye of u
trained caretaker and would re-
ceive meals on time and have the
routine nap.
1t may be possible to get n rsla-
tive or friend to care for the little
one for the moving period. or at
least on the day of moving. II
would be better, however. to have
the baby kept away until the
house is put to rights and the
household resumes some reason
able measure OF system.
Again, 80 many needless acct
dents happen to children. Putting
a creeping baby baby in a pen
or inclosure will do much to pre-
vent these unfortunate happen
ings. The average housewife
simply cannot give twenty-four
hours a day care for any baby
in normal health, and yet $40 into
into a fancy coat for baby and
begrudge the same amount on
baby pen.
1t seems too bad that babies are
so much in the way in many, many
homes. But II is a fact. In all
fairness, baby should have a place
for himself in the nome. And
parents all over the country should
turn useless rooms into nurseries,
both for the baby's comfort and
their own.

ARE YOU LONELY?
MAKE THE LONELY HOURS WORK FOR YOU
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Loneliness II too long enforced
means q solitude of spirit which
is not easy to bear. But II offers
the opportunity to get the big
things done which each OF US
yearns to accomplish. The leisure
and quiet required for growth and
thought and progress are not al
ways welcome. but they are al,
ways constructive factors in our
lives.
It isn't cary for youth to be
alone on long Sundays or through
quiet evenings when 1t seems as
II all the rest Of the world were
arranged in happy groups Of two.
But 1t is a good thing to remem.
ber that at least half the world Is
invisible because II also Is sitting
in its hall bedroom grieving over
the loneliness II doesn't realize II
In sharing In common with 80
many others
How about using some Of those
lonely evenings in classes at one
Of tho universities, or at night
school or at the "Y"7 What Of
art school or gymnasium or a
course in good reading or sewing,
or taking an efficiency course and
preparing yourself for tho post.
ton two rungs of the ladder higher
than your own2
Maybe you're not an interesting
or well-read person. Maybe your
loneliness Is due to some fault Of
education or training which you
can study into and overcome. Use
your loneliness instead Of grieving
over It Perhaps the long hours
which are SO hard for you to bear
offer you q real opportunity To
make yourself a charming. lovable
person who will soon win the
friendship for which you yearn.
Whenever you find yourself with
lonely hours on your hands, don't
spend them In plying yourself
and weeping because you have not
a mice young man" or a best
girl" But instead make your
lonely hours work for you and
turn you into the sort Of person
some ono else will be proud to
have as a best girl'' or q mice
young man" some day.
