three hours, and rouses the neighbour
hood.
HE MUST LEARN.
He'll know your mind, if you know
it. He'll love law and order, if you
do. Not otherwise. He'll be reason
able, if you are.
This is something we all read in
books, before the baby comes. We
ponder upon it fearfully, after the
trained nurse goes.
Here is this little pulpy thing that
has to be fed, and washed, and trained
and all the books agree that we
have to be Spartans! We have to let
him cry. We have to feed him on
the minute. We have to show him
that when mother says no, she means
no. Oh, dear!
We feel so isiotically young and un-
trained ourselves. How are we going
to train anybody else! Half the time
when we say mo" we mean yes" any
way, and of course the baby knows
it
"No, you can't have that-that's
Mothers best cream pitcher" we say,
reading headlines and biting absently
at toast. A minute later we add
forcefully: Here, take it-and STOP

with the hysterical, frightened, be-

weakness and ignorance who used to
fill the nurseries Of long ago.
My suggestion, as an older mother,
to the young mothers Of today who
are distressed or disappointed in their
children, would be to begin their re-
forms with themselves.
What do you want Dick and Betty
to do? Think it out, write it down.
Up at Z 80. Dicks bath first, Bet
tvs second. Books and rubbers gath
cred before breakfast. No movies on
week nights. Homework right after

Go through their day. Then have
a serious talk with them about it all.
Tell them that as long as they play
fair, you will play fair. Point out
that all the best doctors prescribe q
12-hour day for children their ages,
and explain that there will be nc
scolding and no punishment if they do
what you have decided they must do
without whining and delays-get III

ought to give to it out of every hour
really to think out the situation.
To give him what he may have.
Not to give him what he may not have.
Could anything be simpler? Yet it is
right here, in these nursery days, that
the battle is fought-and nine times
out of ten the baby wins.
OF course if he asked for the Rough
on-rats he wouldn't get it. What a
silly thing even to put into words! He
could scream, and writhe, and bite
wrists, and wriggle himself into a con-
vulsion, and we wouldn't give him raw
ammonia to play with.
So that we can be firm. We can
whe. his life depends upon it, say no.
1t is merely that we are not in earnest
about the cream pitcher, and Granny's
glasses, and Brothers egg instead OF
his own, and going to bed, and not
teasing for one more chapter, and not
wanting candy when he has that heavy
cold.
BABY REMEMBERS.
If these were nitro glycerine, strych-
nine or razors, jumping off the roof, or
playing with matches, We could be
firm enough. And to the baby they
ought to be quite as simply out of the
question. But the baby knows that
once-a few days ago, after Mother
said positively that he couldn't have

enough. And being a smart baby he

INscRIBEs MYSTERY TALE

Diplomats, being more or less mys-
terious fellows, are not compelled to
restrict their activities to writing my
sterious treaties, covenants and other
formidable documents, Such is the
case with Richard Washburn Child,
ambassador extraordinary and pleni-
potentiary to Italy, 1921 to 1924, and
chief u. S. representative at the Gen.
GA Conference.
Child has turned this flair for mys-
terry to other channels with outstand-
ing success in the form of puzzl-
ing mystery novel. 'sThe Vanishing
Men" But it is not the usual mystery
story with the last minute, hurried
explanations In "The Vanishing
Men, the reader is given the entire
set of clues, together with sufficient
background to enable him to solve
the mystery, providing he possesses
an agility of mind and deductive pow
ers Just a little better than average.
Richard Washburn Child is we'll
known to magazine readers. For
many years before he entered diplo-
matte life he contributed to many
periodicals and later became editor
of Golfers Weekly. Among his bet
ter known books are Jim Hands, "
..The Blue WALL velvet Black and
The Hands of Nara
Are you good at solving riddles and
puzzles? Then you will want to try
your wits on "The Vanishing Men. =
But even if enigmas hold little fasci-
nation for you, you won't be able to
evade the attraction and the power

The party last Wednesday night
was the last word in stunts, games

one there came away sure that they
had never had better time in their
life, while those who were not there
will regret it until the end of time.

old job Too bad all of us can't get

this winter and got ahead OF his class
es. Now he is taking a few days off
while waiting for the classes to catch
up to him.

Some of the pupils had to go home

that it was due to heart failure caus7
