to-date child who has never read Gin derella and similar classics is to be pitt fed. For the histories in which fairies l and supernatural beings play an impor- tant part appeal to the spiritual side of human nature and assist in the forma- tion of ideals which will prove of value In after life. Thus it Is we'll the tiny mites be given illustrated books contain ing well known fairy tales as soon as they are able to spell one syllable and when longer words can be mastered, the immortal works. Grimm and Anderson, the humor of the first and the pathos of the last being valuable in the formation of character
 George MacDonaId has written some delightful chi1dren's stories. which de- serve to. be more widely read. The principal fault in modern books is that lthey are too highly spiced. Incidents are too crowded. too sensational. while the l troublesome or misunderstood hero and heroine are unwhoIesone creatures, and do more harm than the unnatural prigs l of our grandmotIier's childhood, for the readers sympathy is always enlisted in | their behalf If you ever notice children are continual actors Make believe is as natural to them as imitation to l monkey, and thus the intelligent, and l imaginative child will often Identify him. | o1ll WlIL lilS lleAO O1 l11c SeOl Se@St e%AASA strive to act in all circumstances as l that troublesome being would act. This ] identification with favorite book char 1 acter is by no means confined to chil- dren, for imaginative girls and boys, and even people with sufficient experi- ence to know better, frequently do this. l Certainly no young child should be all lowed to read books until they have been carefully strdied by their mother. Some children delight in horrors, like Teddy l In Helen's Babies. They like incidents like Buggy. Books of a morbid nature
 should be tabooed. Morbidness is an l other primitive instinct which should be l discouraged.
 I Books that contain plenty of incidents
 and adventure, acts of courage and un-
 selfshness should be held up for imi- tation.
 I think children should be encouraged to talk about and criticize the actions of book characters. and a clever mother will be able to point out the discrepan- cies and weak points in their actions, as well as the undesirable traits in the character of fictitious persons: also the difference between them and their proto- 1 types in real life. Children are soon i old enough to appreciate stories found 1 ed on historical incidents. And those 1 having a groundwork of actuality will
 prove of greater interest than fiction and will greatly aid in giving a child knowledge of history.

Dear readers Of the Corner page: A short time ago decided that I needed a new gown, and after looking over the fashion magazines I made up my mind now was the time to use some lovely black founcing that had been handed down." found that the edge had be- come quite brown with age, but I had heard of touching up'' things with ink, 50 with fine brush went over the edge of it and it looked fine while it was wet, but alas, when dry the ink had spread and instead of tiny edge of brown, I had one about an inch wide of a much deeper brown. Then I sponged 1t with strong tea, gave it a bath of deep blue ing water, bought a package of black dye and tried small piece in that, and even polished itsup with colorite (that you use to color hats) I guess I tried every thing except shoe and stove blaeking, but the brown band stayed.

THE INFLUENCE OF BOOKS ON
 CHILDREN.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Sis- ters: I do not think one realizes how much the books children read influence them. I think it is a question of the greatest importance to mothers or any one who has anything to do with the training of youth. That the influence is great no sensible person can deny. The younger the mind tie more credulous and impressionable it is, for until the habit of criticism has been established by education nothing is too absurd or far fetched to be believed
 The imaginative child possessed of a high strung temperament takes to read ing as 9 duck to water; everything at all in the way of printed matter is de- voured, and if careful supervision is not exercised seeds Of future injury to the character may be sown which may De difficult to eradicate. On the other hand the stolid, unimaginative child will not require nearly so much vigilance :; he will not go out of his way to read on his own account. and even if he did, the thing he sees in print leaves little last ing impression.
 Never has there been a time in which children of all ages have been more i widely catered to. Books in every style imaginable abound. Many magazines are exclusively devot to their enter ] taInment, while large proportion of the grown up'' periodicals contain spe- | cial departments for children The | "Children's Page" is an important fea- 1 ture in many magazines. The child of
 the present day is very different from the child of two generations ago when
 the first story books specially for chil- dren made their appearance. The ''chap" books and feeble attempts al

ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.

Dear Corner Sisters: Reams of advice are unloaded upon womas, telling. in- structing and admonishing her how to make home pleasant so that the lord and master may find comfort therein. So then. why should not some advice be given to the said lord and naster7 For, verify, there is more than one of them who make home mighty unpleasant. There Is the man who does not realize that 1t takes money to make nome pleasant. There is the man who does not realize that his wife needs recreation and out side amusement once in a while, so that she can continue to make home pleasant. There is the man who does not realize that silence and grumpiness and the grouch now and then do not make home pleasant There lives the man who does not realize that children must be noisy sometimes and play and romp if home Is to be pleasant to them.
