From Lucile's Dairy

W. HEN l told mother that l had
w invited Dexter Haines to Sun
day dinner she looked vexed. l
asked her if she had any objection to
entertaining him.
Certainly not, Lucille, but you should
have remembered that l am letting
Tillie 60 home for the weekend, and
| didn't intend to have much cooking
done here on Sunday.
I'm sure Cousin Fannie won't mind
getting up one of her delicious little
meals. I'll ask her myself
.'No, you won't, Lucille. Fannie Is
having social meeting of her class
at the settlement on Sunday afternoon,
and she shouldn't have any cooking to
do. You'd better postpone having him
till next week
That's just what can't do, for he's
leaving on Sunday evening for Colo
RADIO, where he's going to stay a month
with his married sister. He's taking a
beautiful big ST. Bernard dog out to
his little nephews. 1 invited him to
bring Bunko with him. Now, don't

will surely understand when you ex-

knew it would be useless to ask her
to rescind her permission for Tilly's
absence. 1 suddenly thought of Betty.
and / called her up and asked her if
she and Uncle Bob were going to be
home on Sunday.
Yes, why?" she asked.
81 have a delightful friend whom you
haven't met yet, Betty dear, and l do
want you and Uncle Bob to know him.
May bring him to your house on Sun
day? That will be the last chance for
month, as he is going out of town.
Certainly, Lucille, bring him over.
What time shall we expect you?"
How would it be if we dropped in

That's lovely of you. You and Uncle

When Dexter and Bunko appeared
on Sunday morning, before the family
had come from church, l, told him that
the little dinner had been transferred
to my uncle's, and that Uncle Bob's
house was a second home to me.

some natural pleasures without max

this little contretemps. the visit was
most agreeable, and when Dexter was
leaving, asked him if he wouldn't like
little lunch for Bunko.
Thank you ever so much but he
can get along on dog biscuit
please let him have something nicer
than that" pleaded Elizabeth. May I
get him something, mother?"
"Of course. DEAR" answered Betty,
and as she rose to go with Elizabeth
to the kitchen, said for her to sit still

Parents Who Want Their Sons And Daughters
To Be Good Citizens Should Realize How Imdut-
ge,lce Softens Tben,-Chordcter Is Formed By
Discipline and Sacrifice

TyHE MOST overdressed and overin-
dulged children are those whose
parents were poor in their youth.
The most undisciplined and uncon
trolled children are those whose parents
were reared in strict and stern house.

|. his father was lad he trudged on

When you see ill-mannered young
people who smoke and drink and ca
rouse and recognize no law but their
own pleasure; who run rough-shod over
the rights of others; who have no re-
spect for age, and who either patron
izc their parents or, treat them with
contempt, you know that they are the
Offspring Of fathers and mothers who
were given few privileges when they
were young and who were coerced by
determined and strong-handed parents
into walking the straight and narrow
path. ~
Nothing is more common than to
I hear people say, 81 don't want my
children to be denied things as was
in my childhood :" II don't want my
children to have to work as did
when was a. child :" 81 don't want
my children to be suppressed and
tyrannized over as J. was when /
was young"
Indeed, SO common is this feeling
that sometimes it. seems that the pres
ent generation is being brought up by
the rule of contraries, and that the only
fixed idea that many parents have is
to rear their sons and daughters exact
ly opposite from the way they were
reared to give them everything they
didn't have and to let them do every
thing they were not permitted to do.
There is something very pathetic
about this. 1t speaks so eloquently of
the ungratified cravings of childhood, of
the WEAKNESS of little hands that
never knew any playtime; of the
thwarted desires for pleasure at the
time of life when one is mad for amuse-
ment, and it is easy to understand why
parents whose own childhood has been
stinted and dull should want to lap
their children in luxury and give them
all the fun they missed.
But in trying to save their chill
dren from the hardships they have
| gone through, they are also cutting
their sons and daughters off from
| the experiences that make such men
and women as they are themselves
! the kind of men and women who rise
| from poverty to fortune and from OBJ
security to fame. For it is not in the
lap of ease that successes are made.
| 1t takes struggle and self-denial and
discipline to form character.
That is why we have the proverb that
it is three generations from shirt
sleeves to shirt sleeves. The poor man
by energy and industry piles up a for
| tune, but because he had to work and
save in his youth he teaches his chill
dren to- be- idlers and MASTERS and
spenders, and they run through their
fortune and their children must go to
work again at the bottom of the wheel.
Probably the children of the self
made man have naturally just as much
ability as he has, but they nearly al
ways amount to nothing, because their

foolish father has denied them all the
advantages he had when he was young
and enervated them with indulgences.
People who have been brought up in
puritanic homes almost invariably let
their children run wild. They put no
restraints upon them, They demand
nothing of them They resent the lack
of liberty they had in their youth, and
SO they give their children license.
They do not seem to realize that
the system at which they rail made
good citizens, instead of the hood
huns which they are turning out.
They do not reflect that they owe
their health and strength to clean liv-
ing that because they were made to
do things they formed habits, of in
dustry that because they were made,
to do hard things just. because it was
duty to them they developed the
grit which keeps men and women
from being cutters; that because
they were taught obedience and self
control they became captains Of their
own souls and masters of their fate,
instead of being the playthings of
their passions and emotions.
They must know, if they stop to
think at all, how much better fitted
they were to meet life, how much more
secure they were of happiness than are
their children, who have never been
taught to do anything they do not want
to do, ,or to deny themselves the gratifi-
cation of any appetite or desire.
For life doesn't change. The world
does not alter and no matter how much
we would like to soft-pad existence for
our children and stand between them
and every hardship and sorrow, we
cannot do it. At the last, in one way
or another, they must come to grips
with fate, and when they do the weak
and dissolute will perish. The spend
thrifts will come to want. The self
seekers will have their hearts broken.
OF course, it is a great temptation
for parents to lavish upon their chill
dren everything that money will buy,
aRd it is much easier to give strong
willed youngsters their heads and let
them go their own gait than it is to
hold them in check, but that way de-
struction lies for the child. And this
is something that parents who are
denying their children the struggle of
life that made them what they are
do well to reflect upon.

My Neighbor Says


Better results are obtained by
ironing all summer dresses on the
wrong side and they are less apt to
fade. Should any article become
scorched, hang it in the sunshine
and the stain will generally disap-
pear.
When not in use, scrubbing
brushes should be turned bristles
downward. Thus the water will run
out of them and they will dry
thoroughly, whereas if they are
placed on their backs the water will
soak into the wood and loosen the
bristles.
If the range is wiped carefully
with brown paper after cooking
greasy food, it can be kept bright
with little difficulty.
If every pot, pan, kettle, or uten-
sill used in the cooking of food is
washed as soon as emptied, and
while still hot, half the labor win be
saved.
Glycerine will relieve a painful
burn. A bottle of it should be kept
on the pantry shelf.
One of the best ways to remove
fresh ink stain is to saturate the ma
terial with kerosene. Let it stand
