proachfully. mo mother worthy of the

to have favorite among her chill

But the Practical Mother, as usual.
brushed aside mere superficlallties.

slble that any woman who has more
than one or two children should not
have a favorite, even If she never ad-

family the children will often differ
very widely in natural disposition,
temperament--in every possible trait.

almost certain that there will be one
among them who is naturally more

She paused, and then added with her
surprising frankness, for she Is one
who openly admits what other people
are apt to conceal and deny even to
themselves, Now my little girl Is too
much like me for us to get along

really much more fond of him."

so that the fact becomes noticeable to
other people and even to the children

In large families, we frequently see
parents who give certain prestige
and power to the eldest, permitting
him to dictate to the whole family.
Even more frequently we see parents,
but especially mothers. who favor the
youngest child, grarAing him greater
consideration though expecting less
from him than from the others; in
short, petting him all through her life

The money will be used to pay
for two lots recently purchased
adjoining the church.
A total of 1858 has been raised
already. The Triangle class raised
SEQ at lawn social at Judge w.

fireworks in July netted 500;
Mrs. Coulston's class of boys
raised $40 at a hamburger sup

men cleared $48 at an oyster
supper, and Mrs Bowyer's class
of girls cleared $3.50 at the Elks

The primary department held

$110; the junior department
cleared $2S at an ice cream social
and $25 at pie and candy sale.
Food sales conducted by Mrs. NJ.
