Parents Who Lacked Early Advantages May Learn Much From Their Children, If They Will Humble
 Their Parental Vanity

children begin to have more culture and more polish than the parents, are not the parents getting just what they planned for, and hoped, and paid for?
 There is no other more heroic thing on earth than the sacrifices that so many people make to give their chill dren the education and the advan- tages that they never had themselves. To do this, thousands of poor men and women are toiling beyond their strength, doing without the comforts they need, and sweating every penny.
 If all of this toll and self denial is not R vain, these children are bound to come from school and col lege with not only the knowledge they have gotten from books. but that they have acquired by associa- tion with people who are the flower of generations of culture and ele gance.
 Between the chilren. then. who have been given the advantages of education and the parents who had no such advantages, there Is bound to be a great gulf, unless the parents are willing to bridge 1t over by learnv ing from their children. This requires meekness of spirit that few mid dle aged people possess. But surely it is less bitter to learn from your chilrden than to know that they are ashamed of you.
 Because you've pronounced word incorrectly for 40 years is~no reason for going on pronouncing it incor- rectly for the next 20 or 30 years. Because you've murdered the kings English every day of your life is no reason you should continue to com init the crime after you are given a chance to reform Because nobody taught you good table manners in your childhood is no excuse for your continuing to be a sword swallower until your dying day.
 We are never too old to learn. Never too old to change. It is only our conceit that holds us down and bars the way to our improve ment. Because we didn't have ad- vantages in our youth, we should be all the more eager to improve every advantage that is offered us later on. It may be galling to parents to learn from their children, but there are no better teachers than Johnny and Mary They belong to the very front rank in the army of progress. They are the heirs of all the ages. They have the latest new theory. They are the last word.
 Of course, a lot of their theories are halfbaked. Of course, the young don't know nearly as much as they
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-18

Perhaps the bitterest. moment in the life of the average man and woman Is when their little son or daughter corrects their pronunciation or criticizes their manners.
 Up to that time, the parents have been as gods to their children, all powerful and all wise. the fountain of all knowledge. Their opinion set tied every question:; their Judgment was not to be questioned by the ad- hiring. wondering, little audience Of the nursery.
 And father and mother, basking in this adulation, fondly believed that it would last forever, that, however poor a figure they might cut in a callouS and unappreciative world, to their own children they would always be oracles and shining examples; and that their sons and daughters would aspire to nothing better than ft How ing humbly in their footsteps
 Then suddenly came the rude awak ening. Parental vanity got a jolt that shook it from center to cir conference, and father and mother discover that instead of blind wor- shipers they had matched out a brood of little critics on their hearth.
 Little Johnny. with the unconscious light on the weak places in his parents grammar, and tells them that teacher says that only ignorant and uneducated people say "aint." Little Mary. also with the cruel can dor of childhood, censors mothers and fathers pronunciation and man ners and attempts to revise them by the new standard she has acquired at school.
 It is natural for parents to resent bitterly this changed attitude on the part of their children. It is natural when Johnny corrects father and tells him where he gets off for Czecho- slovalSia, for example. that father should give him box on the ear and send him supperless to bed. It is natural that mother should tell Mary that she will stand no more of her impertinence and let no child of hers correct her. when Mary remarks upon some blunder mother has made.
 But, painful as it Is to parental egotism to have to abandon the pose of wiseacre in the family. when the

But Winifred seemed oblivious of her presence. Mrs. Bates must learn at once that the expression of her ideas was not quite the proper thing now that Winfred was her own mis- tresS and the head ofTthe Scott eS- tablishment.
 She did. however. follow Mrs. Bates suggestion to the extent of resting that afternoon. She lay down on the couch in her room, read until she was drowsy, then dozed until the maid knocked at her door with the mornings purchases.
 The sight of several huge boxes banished any further thought of sleep. Winifred sprang from her couch with an exclamation of de- light.

 There are two more boxes down stairs" the maid said. "1 could not carry them all at once. l will go fetch them
 Yes, do. And tell Mrs. Bates l want her." winifred ordered.
 She might resent Mrs. Bates in- clination to direct her movements, yet she was enough of a child to de- sire to display her purchases to some one.
 Mrs. Bates was pleased at the pros pect of seeing the pretty feminine things. even while she shook her head in doubt as to the wisdom of such extravagance But when she at tempted to put this doubt into speech Winifred cut her short with:
 q simply had to have the things. It always costs a lot to put on mourning. How could I get on with out black clothes? You don't sup pose that it was any pleasure to me to buy them!'
 "No, dear-surely[n not" the widow soothed the girl gently. You must not think that I meant to criticize you-for I am not doing that. It is only that I am sorry you must spend 50 much money without anyone to advise you"

LUNCHEON ON SUNDAY


 Two mothers, with their young daughters, stood In the church aisle chatting after the Sunday morning service.
 "Mayn't' Dorothy come home with Eleanor and spend the afternoon?" inquired one of the mothers pleasant ly of the other.
 mother. I should like to have her" Then she added, little apologeti- cally.
 I often wonder how 1t is that you never seem to be hurried on Sunday, and have to rush home to get dinner, as most of us other housewives do."
 Eleanors mother nodded You seeI she said, we don't have big GAeHer on Sunday. We have simple buffet luncheon served in the living room in the winter and on the yer anda in the summer. To begin with breakfast Is later than usual and more elaborate on Sundy than that on weekdays, so we aren't a s hungry. Another thing, we all have luncheon a noon during the week and are not used to a heavy midday dinner. And lastly, I don't have to spend hot hour or two in the Kitchen on this most peaceful day of all and hall the afternoon cleaning up.
 "On Sundayp noon we have a ggod- ly pile of sandwiches-cold meat sandwiches, savory cheese and pim- ento sandwiches, and jelly sand wichcs. These are made the day be- fore and kept under series of dry and moist napkins. They are de- licious. There is always hot tea or chocolate in winter, and an iced drink in summer. with luscious layer cake or some little frosted cakes. That is all we want until the evening. and then we have an i'm formal hot supper, not dinner at all. It gives us all such a free, uninter- rupted day-not only free with re- gard to time and leisure, but free from the heavy overeating that ac- companies some Sunday dinners. We are much better off, In moro ways than one"

 "I guess we will have to go home without the magic apron" Betsy Bonnet String said as she brushed a tear from her eye. But I am sorry to lose 1t. because it was the only one in the world, I guess, and 1t was lots of fun shaking it and giving nice things to those who were un- selfish."
 And, as the Too ack quee and the Raggedys could think of no way of getting the magic apron away from the queer little old woman, they fol- lowed Betsy Bonnet String and rode towards the Too ack quee's house on their magic bicycles. And all felt very, very sad.

 "I'll bet nickel that the queer little old woman was watching us out of that hole in the tree!' he said And she saw Betsy Bonnet String shake the golden pancakes, nice fluffy ones, and the maple syrup from her magic apron. And that is why the queer little old woman hoped out of the tree and took the magic apron!"
 But I would give her all the pan cakes she would care to have if she had only asked for them!" Betsy Bonnet String said Tt was very rude for her to take anything like that without asking''

 So father makes mistake when he won't let the boys introduce any new methods into the business, and mother makes a mistake when she won't let the girls teach her any of the newfangled ways of housekeeping that they have learned in the schools For the world do move, as Brother Jasper says, and our children are git ting at the wheel of the car of progress.
