tree. in a field owned by Mrs. Sadie

to play under its large spreading
branches. are old men and women

"Woodman, spare that tree!"

Perhaps Child's $ Nerves Are
 Unshung
TO-DAY want to tell you . true
 story, not simply because it is

TO-DAY I want to tell you a true
 story, not simply because it is
 really an interesting little tale, but primarily because the story brings home lesson to all of us which I do not think I could tell half so we'll in any other way as by reciting to you the facts exactly as they occurred.
 Just about a year ago an intimate friend of mine wrote me the following letter
 "I should like to ask your advice about the troubles of my small nephew in the hope that may help his mother.
 "He is a fine well-developed boy of ten years, his father a dentist with good practice, his mother originally a social worker who did not marry till she was over thirty.
 "This boy has a small brother now six years old, and until about a year ago neither child apparently caused his mother any trouble. About that time she begin to complain about the older boy, and has done so continually ever since, until now the boy seems to be in a rather apathetic state of mind. He has just failed his terms work at school for the first time in his life.
 ''The main difficulty does not seem very clear, and yet the total situa- tion seems to be affecting the boy very much. His mother is continually cor recting him with such remarks (ad- dressed to whenever happens to be at hand) as: His table manners are so bad. He is careless He is never home on time.' He is such contrast to his little brother He is stupid, selfish, etc.
 When visiting me and my family, this nephew seems consistently polite, interested and cooperative"
 After a few personal pleasantries, the letter closes by asking me to take hand in the situation to see what I might be able to accomplish toward straightening matters out.
 Well, what would you have done You will reply that you are not a psychologist and I am, and so leave it up to me. tI is quite true I might have psychological" ad infinitum about this very interesting situation, but would it have got me anywhere? No; this was situation that called for common sense first and psychology second. Without bothering you with any" diagnosis" I shall tell you what did and how it all worked out.
 Without very much difficulty, suc- ceeded in getting the father of these two boys to send them both off to a camp for the summer while he and his wife went off in their car on the first vacation they had had in three years.
 Last September, when parents and children were reunited, all of the diff faculties between this mother and her older son had vanished into the mists of forgotten things. Throughout the whole year harmony has reigned in thls household, and the youngster who last year haid failed completely in his school work has once more found the place among his fellows to which his energy and intelligence entitle him.
 NOW, of course, we do. not all have the incomes of successful dentists: but l am sure that there are many of ms

 "Then aunt came, sure of her well come. She had brought her Lares and Penates, intending to set them up in my home-everything she valued which already had not been sent on. She. came without wiring, wanted to surprise me. When I went home she was there. She had taken possession of the suite with which she was en- raptured. We had dinner together. When she had asked for you and Anna I had made excuses. You were away for day or two.
 After dinner we went into the libra. ry and Susan and I told her that must choose between you, and at once. She was stunned. She neither moved or spoke. I talked a while, then got your letter, Susan, and read it to her. I interrupted him with a gesture of dismay. That letter; in some ways il was almost brutal when speaking oi her. Wait! When it was finished she also said: Susan is right. One house is not large enough for us both You will have to choose"

Many amateurs think it is dangerou

Many amateurs think it Is dangerous -Ao spray their cabbages with arsenate, paris green, or any other poison. As matter of fact, this fear is really un- founded, at least before the cabbage heads have formed, and arsenate of lead is probably the most effective remedy for the cabbage-worm. When cabbages are well headed, hellebore, wood ashes, soot or salt may be used instead. Indeed, little earth thrown into the cabbage head often proves sufficient to keep the worms away. When the plants are small, however, some form of poison is to be recom-
 mended.

A Somehow the remembrance of this aft. ernoon's experiences kept her silent. Lois was in love, and unhappy because of her doubt as to whether her love was reciprocated. Marian was sure iS was not. She was equally sure that it must be if she could bring about such a condition. If she were to 90 to New York it might make conditions easie9 for Lois in many ways.
 She looked up now as her sister starts ed towards the door.
 Goodnight, little sister, she said pleasantly. q may be in bed when you get back-for I am sleepy"
 Lois paused, look of relief creepin9 to her eyes.
 "If you are tired go to bed" she ads vised. "I will put out the lights and lock up." (To Be Continued)

 "I do not suppose you care to attend church, do your" she said.
 She would behave as if she were willing to have her sister accompany her. Marian must not fancy that Lois was planning to have the minister es- cort her home. She was ashamed as she recalled her confession of last night. She wished that Marian would consider

Lydia had a severe attack of tonsilitis once. Some people were unkind enough to say she didn't actually have tonsilitis hut had talked herself hoarse. But she had such a bad attack she couldn't speak. Even though her voice was still she used up pads of paper writing out notes of what she wanted to con- vey to those around her. Her friends were sorry for her, but it was a great relief to have her quiet.
 When she was well her doctor sug- gested having her tonsils taken out. But Lydia objected. She objected stren- uously. She knew of a girl who had accidentally had her vocal chords cut in an operation on he throat and she could only whisper.
 q should never run the risk of hav- ing anything happen to my voice, an nounces Lydia. Those who know her admit it would be a calamity-to her.
 Lydia is one of those pests who talk all the time in a theatre. She retaiis intimate little bits of gossip about the actors and actresses. She discusses their clothes, jewelry and mannerlsms. She wonders-out loud-how the plot will turn out. People lean forward Tn their chairs and finally in desperation turn around and glare at her.
 But Lydia is oblivious to their looks She is obvious to everything except the sound of her own voice which goes on and on.
 She has very little intellectual equip ment. She has never taken up any sub feet and studied it seriously, but she superficially skins over a great many topics so she can pass on to others what she has picked up.
 She is a type.
 She is the Loquacious Girl.

 is hung in the middle and wags on both ends. She doesn't know what it is to keep still. She is not well read on any subject yet she thinks she is ele- yating society. She gables on and on about nothing in particular. It doesn't make any difference to her whether people listen or not. She is her own best audience. She is very vain.
