flowers that happened to be growing
near the little stream which ran along
by the conservatory.
Often the wild flowers had nodded
to the dollhouse flowers and some of
them had bent a little In answer, but
not the stately Gala Lily. She pre-
tended she did not see them or their
friendly nod.
And there was reason for this, for
Gala knew that Jack-in-the-Pulpit was
a relative of hers-distant, to be sure,
but still he was related-and If one
stopped to look and compare Gala
and Jack they would see at once a
family resemblance.
Calais dainty, waxlike cup resem-
bles Jacks greenish-brown pulpit, and
Calais pretty, yellow, upright center
resembles in shape Jack himself as he
stands beneath the curved pulpit. And
that was the reason Gala Lily did not
outside her glass home; she was afraid
that some one would know that she
and humble little Jack were cousins,
for she supposed that Jack knew 1t
and was Dragging to the other wild
flowers about it.
"They will be sure to tell it to some
of the flowers standing near the door
some day when the gardener leaves
the door open"
The truth of the matter was that
Jack knew nothing about the stately
relative growing inside the dollhouse,
and if he had he would have pitied
her, for he was quite happy and salts
| fed growing out in the air and light
| and would not have changed places
! with Gala for all her beauty and
stately bearing.
He loved the woods and the moist
spot where he grew and his friends
that grew about him.
There were the tickle, late-coming
wind-fiowers; though they never tar
ried, Jack was always glad to see
them and hear them prattle Of the
sights they expected to see, and their
farewell flutters as they sailed away
always made Jack glad he did not care
to roam, as they did.
There were the wild Lilies-of-the-
Valley; they were friends of Jacks
also, and he felt they had much in
common, for their name was as long
as his; there were the birds and the
trees, too. Jack was happy in his

Child Training at Home
DEALING WITH THE
ANGRY CHILD
BY JENNIE s. cLouGH

OF THE many problems which con-
- front a mother, one of the hardest
Is that Of meeting in the wisest way the
undesirable traits that appear in chill
dren. In dealing with these problems
there are two great helps. First, a
sense of humor. IL a child comes
down to breakfast sullen and bad
tempered, make some little joke. 1t
helps to clarity the atmosphere. I
don't mean laugh at the child (that
only adds fuel to the freD, but do
some amusing thing, or tell a funny
story and you will make the clouds
vanish like magic. Parents who APP
preciate fun and who are the real
companions Of their little ones have
the happiest and most affectionate
children. But most important Of oil
is grace. Grace Is that lovely, loving
spirit which, no matter how trying the
children are, cannot be disturbed. We
cannot have this of ourselves: 1t Is
the gift of God. He says, my grace
Is sufficient for thee" so, when the
children are noisy and naughty and

let us say this over and over mentally
and we shall be surprised at the peace
and quietness within ourselves that
will follow.
Try to Quiet Bad Temper.
Granted that we have sympathy and
poise ourselves, we are in fit condi-
ton to help our children to overcome
their faults. Often children are cross
and naughty because they are over
tired, over-excited or hungry. We
must be sure that their naughtiness
does not come from some physical
reason that we can help. If child Is
In bad temper the first thing to do
is to quiet him. How? By being very
quiet ourselves, but very firm, letting
him see our strength and poise and
then trying to find out what has stirred
him. BY our talking it over with him
and letting him pour it out, his nerves
will be freed and he will have an out
let for his passion. If he seems I'M

the lady to whom the captive cavalier
penned the much-quoted lines:
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage.
To Alethea is given the additional
interest of naming the youngest bride
known to English history; in 1869, at
the age of nine, Alethea Branding
was married to man named Henry
Hitch. The name proved very popular
in England and Ireland, where it is
sometimes contracted to Lefty.
Althea, meaning wholesome, has no
connection with Alethea. The former
seems to have belonged solely to the
unfortunate mother of Meleager.

Laws Benefit Ex.service Men.

At the instigation of the American
Legion, the New York legislature has
passed several bills which benefit the
ex-service man. Among them are
Preventing persons convicted Of violat-
ing the selective draft act from hold
ing public office; proposing a consti-
tutional amendment to remove the In
ability of inmates Of soldiers and
sailors home from voting; bill pro-
yiding for the recording of honorable.

CONVENTIONS

1nON'T you think it is perfectly
splendid the way we are get
ting away from conventional" gush-
ing young married woman asked the
other day. "Why, my mother would
have thought it was disgrace to
serve dinner without table cloth
and linen napkins, and she would
have thought we were going to land in
the poor house if we had had break
fast in the kitchen. But we have
given up table cloths entirely, laundry
is so expensive, and we never use
anything but paper napkins. What's

wild home and gave no thought to
heightened relatives.
But if Gala Lily had but known 1t
there was another Jack not far from
sthe one she could see from the WIN
dow, of whom she had more to fear.
for he bore much more striking re-
semblance to the stately Lily than the
other Jack.
This second Jack-in-the-Pulpit had
green-white covering which looked
very much like Calais wax white cup,
and if sometime you are in the place
where the little Jacks grow and you
look you may be fortunate enough to
find this other Jack with the green1sh-
white pulpit, though this is not so COM
mon a variety as the dark-colored
Jacks.
But you can be sure both Jacks
would rather live in their airy, light
homes in the woods than in the glass
house where their stately cousin Gala
Lily lives.

more, some of the most aristoeratic
people I know are having breakfast
hooks in their kitchens and don't
ever intend to have breakfast in the
dining room. Isn't it perfectly won
derful?"
And, of course, agreed that it was
well that we could alter our customs
to suit the times without actually
lowering our standards. And she
went on:
"And it is just the same with other
things. Tom doesn't in the least mind
having me have my men friends, and
l suppose he keeps up with the girls
he used to know. I go to dances
without him if I choose and accept
invitations from men to lunch-it Is
all part Of this new disregard for
conventions. It's just like paper nap
kins-mother would have been horri-
fed at the idea of either, but mother
wasn't advanced"
And suppose that there are some
other people who have this same
haZy notion of the conventions" but
there really is vast difference be-
tween the slight innovation that
changes our precise mode of having
breakfast or dinner, and another limo
walton that means a radical change in
our notion of married life.
So we may change our manners with
regard to shaking hands; we might
give up hand shaking entirely, but
that would not mean that we might
change our basic ideas of friendship
and loyalty toward our friends.
If you have the gift of thinking
clearly you won't confuse these two
sorts Of unconventionality.

STRENGTH AND COURAGE
FOR NEW EFFORT.

Elizabeth Harrison, president
emeritus OF the National Kinder
garten and Elementary college,
has said:
SIN my early years in the
work, I saw the development in
the children over whom 1 had
charge. saw, again and again,
how in the little community Of
equals the shy child learns self
assertion, the selfish child learns
to share with others, the timid
child learns courage, the too self
assertive self-control and the I'M
truthful child learns accuracy;
saw how the attainment Of sue
cess in the many little activities
Of the kindergarten brings
strength and courage for new
effort, and the community life
develops service and sympathy"

SHOULD SEEK SAFEGUARDS

In this day Of vicious infiu-
ences it is imperative that par
ents seek out every agency
which tends to safeguard and
develop their children's moral
and spiritual nature. The infiu-
ences Of the street and the
"gang'' must be counteracted,
and the home and the Sunday
school must work together to-
ward this end. No matter what
your child's later life may be,
q strong character foundation
viii be his greatest asset, which
you may help him to strength
en- by encouraging him to take
advantage of the wholesome,
uplifting influence Of the Sun
day school.

ALETHEA

A LETHEA, though not in common
"A usage, is most important name.
1t comes from the Greek Alethia,
which in turn was evolved from the
Greek "a" and the word meaning ito
hide, and thus may be translated as
-'truth" or sincerity"
The first appearance Of the name Is
recorded in AL when Aletha of
Padua lived. 1t was Dona Maria
Aletha, Spanish princess for whom
Charles 1 of England journeyed TO
Spain while he was prince of Wales.
Alethea was the form which ap-
peared in the famous Saville family
and was given vogue through its
prominence. But perhaps the most
famous and memorable Aiethea was

talk with him, put him by himself I'M
til he is more calm. While he is in
temper be careful not to leave him
where he can break or destroy any,
thing. Often his outburst is like a
thunder storm; the thunder and light
ming are tremendous while they last,
but are soon over. Then, get him in
terested and busy about something.
The SulIen Child Problem.
A much harder type Of child to deal
with, and one that tries our patience
more, is the sallen child. He makes
no outlet for himself like the angry
child who vents his temper In screams
and passionate talk. His bad temper
works all on the inside. He broods
over the trouble, distorting and en-
larging it by dwelling upon it. He
usually refuses comfort or sympathy
and seems to enjoy shutting himself
away from everyone. He is usually a
sensitive child-shy, lacking confidence
In himself, inclined to dwell upon him.
self too much. What can we do with
such child? He won't talk the
trouble out, like the high-tempered
child, and it is unwise to put him by
himself as you would the high-temp-
cred child. Give him something to be
busy about just as soon as possible.
Work is even more necessary for him
than for any other type Of child, for
we must get him out Of himself. If
possible, have him work where he
will have the companionship Of his
brothers and sisters, or perhaps he
can help you In what you are doing.
Work Is blessing for most persons.
but for none more than for the child
who is inclined to live his little life
inside Of himself.
